Dahlman Denies II n mors. I understand It was told In Lincoln that I had made the statement that I would veto any appropriation for the state Insti tutions located here. That statement Is I untrue and no man ever heard me make It. (I am In favor of appropriating enough money to properly take care of them. I want', the professors over there to under stand" that they draw their salaries for 'teaching the- young men and women of this state and not to try to run the politics ,ot the state. If they will do the work ' that they are paid to do, then there will be no time for tljem to do anything else." "nl discussing the liquor question Mayor Dahlman said he would veto ' a county option bill If one was passed by the legis lature If elected and In doing so he did not oonslder himself a czar. I have de ceived no man. I have told everyone here that I will if elected veto the county option bill. I want every one In the state to know It. Now, If I am elected is not that an indication that a.maJorHy of the people of the state are opposed to county option. "1 am not ft law breaker either," said the mayor. "I stand for law enforcement and I enforce the law every day as mayor of the city of Omaha. I enforced the law as sheriff of Dawes county for six years when it took a man to enforce the lay. I was re-elected out there twice and that Ought to show that "I believe In law en forcement. I stand for the Slocumb law, which has atod the test In this state for thirty years."

(From ft Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 7. (Special.) "I sent ft message to the last legislature In which 1 said, "the primary law should be irnealed or it should be radically amended,' " said Governor Shallenberger at the meeting of the state canvassing board this morning. "I should have cut off the sentence after the word 'repealed,' " he continued. "There is no justice in the ,i1mry law. It Is all right in theory, but It does not work out In practice. Under the primary law the counties of Douglas and Lancaster, if they get Into the same bed as they old in the late election, can control the nomi nation of candidates. We have found that the politicians vote and manipulate the primary instead of the people, and that la what we tried to avoid. The primary law was enacted so that the nomination candl dates would be taken away from scheming politicians and placed In the hands of the people, but Just the reverse has been the result of this law. The fart that out In the Twenty-ninth senatorial district, a candl date gets a nomination with only one vote la enough to show the viciousness of the primary law." "I agree with you that the primary law should be repealed," said Treasurer Brian, "in so far as It relates to the state, but 1 believe In a county primary law." "I believe It would be all right to select delegates to a state convention by primary. but I am opposed to our state-wide pri mary law," concluded the governor. Ruby Murdered for His Money Fanner, Whose Body Was Found in River, Was Killed Near Railroad Station in Auburn. AUBURN, Neb., Sept. 7. (Special Tele gram.) It was definitely determined here thla afternoon that John Ruby, the Murray, Neb., farmer whose body was found float ing In the Little Nemaha river near here Monday afternoon, was murdered Thursday night near the Missouri Pacific station and that his body was taken to the river in a light wagon. Evidence in possession of the sheriff indicates that at least two men were concerned In the Job and that robbery was the motive. Mr. Ruby, together with several other parties, made a trip to southwest Kansas in view of Investing In some land in that locality. The party returned Thursday night via the Missouri Pacific The party, being well tired out, slept most of the way. They had passed this station when they dls covered that Mr. Ruby was missing. They finally came to the conclusion that he had stepped off the train at this place, where it usually stops for several minutes, and had been left. .An inquest waa held, also ft post-mortem by Coroner I. W. Irvtn of this city, and It was developed that there waa no water in the man whatever, thus showing that he was dead before being thrown In the river. The body shows no marks of violence and the face and head are so badly discolored that it has not been decided as to the cause of death. It Is the belief of the officers that he was sandbagged or drugged. Mr. Ruby had considerable money on his person when last seen, and when the body waa found there was nothing but sand in his pockets, absolutely nothing of value be ing left on his person. He was about 47 years of age and was the owner of a fine quarter of land near Murray, Cass county, which waa well stocked. He leaves a family of four children. Will Not Call Extra Session Governor Declares Matter Settled Friends See More By Bryan to Help Dahlman. (From ft Btaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Sept. 7. (Speclal.)-Governor Shallenberger will call no extra session of the legislature to submit the Initiative and refreendum, and thus again is Mr. Bryan turned down by the governor. "There Is no truth In the rumor that I Intend to call a special session of the leg islature," said the governor. "That is set tled. I will call no extra session. It is unfortunate that the recount of the votes cast for candidates for governor has been so alow, as it has given rise to all kinds of rumors, but there will be no extra ses sion." Mr. Bryan, so It was learned from very reliable sources, still wants the governor to call that extra session, and during the last week has made this fact known. He was unable to have a talk with the governor about the matter, but he la expected back to Lincoln the first of the week and at that time he will have a conference with the executive. Had the initiative and referendum been submitted at the fall election, Mr. Bryan could have remained "regular" and sup ported Mayor Dahlman, as he could have argued that the liquor question had been taken out of politics by the Initiative and referendum. Some of the governor's friends believe that Mr. Bryan is hunting for an excuse to be "regular."

FULL COMMITTEE IS PRESENT Prepare for Work la the Com I nc Fall Campaign Im Thla Conatr Ben Baker Is Chosen as Chairman. Judge Ben 8. Baker waa chosen as chair man of the new Douglas county central committee yesterday afternoon at Its meet ing In Judge Sutton's court room. W. E. Rhodes was selected as treasurer and the chairman was given authority to select ft secretary and an executive committee. The meeting was one of remarkable enthusiasm, generated In part by the ad dress made by Judge, Baker after-he took the chair. "It goes without saying," declared the new chairman, "and all who know me will bear me out that I am a republican; a republican every day In the week and every day In the year, from January 1 to Janu ary 1. "Without reflecting on any republican who may be within sound of my voice. I wish to say that there would be much less trouble for the party today If all of us had been consistent republicans. The trouble with ua republicans some of us Is that we find It too eas yto manufacture excuses for voting for some democrat. If we all had always voted right we would not have a democratic mayor today nor ft dem ocratic governor and easy sailing now. "We do not always get In the platform planks which exactly suit me. But the point Is the greatest good of the greatest number and it is for the majority to say wha two ought to do and then for ua to follow. The republican party Is right In principle. It la always right In principle, and when we stand by our principles In stead of voting for some fad or other, everything comes our way. There is noth ing worse for yourselves nor your party than voting for some democrat. County Option Not An laane. "We do not all of ua favor county option. But let me remind you this: There is not going to be county option I mean a vote against sales of liquor in Douglas county. And If other counties out In the state vote dry, whom does It hurt? Not you and I. But perchance the brewers could not build as many $500,000 homes In the last half dozen years here nor ride around in as many $6,000 autos. So, whether or not the people out In the state proceed to vote one way or another on liquor selling in their county, it does not affect us one way or another here. "Men of the central committee, you have chosen me to be your chairman. I have this to say now: I want every member of the committee to stand for the ticket from top to bottom . I say now that If I find out that any one should be cutting, I shall have hla resignation at once." Judge Baker Lands Saptton. Judge Baker also spoke of the strength of the state ticket, the great superiority man for man of the republican Douglas county legislative ticket and of the leverage in behalf of the whole ticket exerted by the candidacy of Judge Sutton, who.
