(Speclal.V-Following close upon the advent of the new yea Information' at hand indicate that a number of democrat will announce their candidacy for governor, with the proviso that they are not to be considered If Oov erior Bhallcnberger Is going to be a candi date to suoceed himself. The Indication are that this will serve to Inspire Governor Shallrnberger to get Into the senatorial race with a platform all his own Tha governor la waiting on Mr. BrTn and a number of wouldbe gubernatorial candidates re walling on the governs. So now that Mr. Bryan Is cut of the coun try and he went without relleVlns the situation, pressure r being brought to bear on Governor BlialVnbf rger to clarify the atmosphere by announcing for the enate regardless of Mr. Bryan. Tho of his friends who hava dI.cuod this mattor 1th the executive have Insisted that If he doe announce and start hi campaign the democratic party would refuse to per mit Mr. Bryan to come home at the last minute and got Into the running. Several Of those who are urging the pov- error to run for the rerate are anxious themselves to try for his place and naturally they Whnt an early start In ordjr to head off Mayor Dahlman of Omaha. Several promlnrnt democrats who have been at the ttate boiue lately ore of the opinion that Mr. Bryan Is afraid to trust himself against the democratic field and then republican at a popular election. They uy he realize that ho ha every thing to lose by making the race and It Is even reported -on good authority that Mr. Bryan ha Insisted that he refuse to be a candidate. Tom Allen Is open In his opposition to Brynn being a candldnte and he has nrjjed hi brother-in-law not to run th Tisk of a defeat. Friends of the governor and of prospec tive gubernatorial candidate Insist that th governor make an early . decision on th senatorial matter ao they can get busy to name a candidate to take hi place on the ticket.
