Nov. I.-Ppecel Members of the State Normal Board have returned after their Inspection of the Wayne Stata Normal school, and while no meeting' we held and the question of buying It ha not been gone Into, the board was rery fav orably Impressed with the school building" and camput and their condition. The old building needs some repair, but the new administration building. Dr. Ludden said. Is In first clans condition, aa la the heating plant and the cooling plant. No one present of the local committee knew bow many students there were In the school, or how much personal property such as chairs, desks and tables belonged to the school, and. In fact, no one knew Just how many rooms there are In the large bufidlngs. This Information will be compiled by those In charge of the school and It will be submitted to the board at Its meeting December J. Now that the old norma board has been declared constitutional and the new one out of existence Interest in the location of the new normal school has Increased. As a matter of fact Alliance Is the only city In the state that has complied with the letter of the law In the matter of filing a proposition for. the school, but th board likely will stretch the law to the limit In erder to give all the towns In the west end - f the state a chance to get In on the lidding, aa the suit In court naturally con fused many of the towns. Representative Harrington of Brown county met the board as it returned from Wayne, and put in a ' big talk for Alnsworth. He is anxious for the school to be located there. But until the board hears from the attorney general It is likely will tak no steps to locate th school.

As a result of the narrow margin between Charles E. Morefleld, republican, and Wil liam Grots. democratic candidate for county treasurer, at the last election, the democratia county central committee was called to meet here yesterday with other democrats to tal of a possible recount of votes. The unofflcclal returns gave Mr. Morefleld a majority of twenty-one. but tbe official canvass reduced this to four teen. To recount the ballots the pro ceedings must be started In the county court, and the ballots would have to be recounted In the presence of the county Judge, who would decide how each ballot should be counted. This would be Just as likely to Increase Mr. Morefleld's majority as to wipe It out. The demo cratic county central committee decided to permit Mr. Urots. the democrstio de feated candidate to decide whether a recount would be asked for. Ex-Mayor Brown of Lincoln May Rival Dahlman Friends of Shallenbereer Urging Him to Be Candidate for Senator . . in Bryan's Place. ' (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN. Nov. -19. (Special.) Some ot these bright, beautiful mornings Mayor Dahlman Is going to wake up and find a competitor In his race for the democratic nomination for governor in the person of former Mayor T. W- Brown of Lincoln. At least that's the way it looks to those who have been watching the antics of the former executive of the capital city. And about tha same time Judge Edgar Howard Is going to wake up and find hi pet senatorial candidate, W. H. Thomp son, has competition In Governor Ash ton C. Shallenberger. Mayor Brown will not come out for gov ernor unless the governor announces for senator, and that Is what friends of the former mayor are trying to get Qovernoi Shallenberger to do. Governor Shallenberger has been told by soms of the biggest democrats In Ne braska that he should run for the senati regardless of Mr. Bryan's statements lth-a-string-to-lt that he will not be a can didate. Friends of both the governor and Mayor Brown are of the opinion that if the name of Bryan is filed as a candidate at the last minute he will be forced to decline to run or he will be defeated for the nomination. It has been urged upon Governor Shallen beiger that hj should at once announce hit candidacy, for the senate, prefacing the announcement with the statement that he would prefer to support Mr. Bryan, hut that the latter must be taken at his word and left out of the race. Should the gov ernor do this his friends Insist Mr. Bryan could not, with very good grace, ever per mit his friends to run blm for the place. As an argument to get the governor Into the senatorial race It has been put up to blm that if he Is defeated for governor it will forever end him as a senatorial possi bility, so If he desire ot take a shot at It now Is the accepted time. That Mayor Brown eould easily be per suaded to get Into the race for governor there la no doubt and that he and the governor have discussed the posslbllltls repeatedly there Is every evidence to be lieve. There Is no mor frequnt visitor to the office of the governor than the former mayor. In fact, he calls almost dally and he and the governor spend much time In consultation. So If the governor announces for senator the mayor will announce for governor. of fltl. 10 and expenses. In all 1181.70, said to be due him for services as county com missioner. The law allows a county com missioner $3 per diem and mileage, and the total amount must not exceed 1500 per year.' The court found that Mr. Brown had been paid his full allowance by law and accordingly the case was dismissed at tha cost of plaintiff.
