apologies to make. I would Ilka to see the
speaker, or tha ways tnd means com
mittee, or the minority loader, who could
organise the committees without making
mistakes. I have already heard rumblings
on tha democratte aide. Hut after all you
are not going to be Judged by the com
mittees you name, but by tha legislation
you accomplish."

posed to segregating the different depart

"Hut the policy which the measure In
put the policy which this measure In
augurates Is the deliberate Judgment and
action of the legislature. The measure was
thoroughly considered and passed and In a
matter of this kind, I don't believe H
within the province of the executive to
interpose a veto, bectfusa that would sim

While Governor Aldrich was working
quietly in his office today and wondering
how grateful South Oinahans would feel
to him for algnlng their charter amend-
I ment bill, S. F. 93, the telephone and tele-
graph were carrying the news over the
state and to South Omaha particularly, of
his veto of that measure following the
handing out by one of the governor's clerks
of a well prepared message on that very
bill. The mlstske was occasioned by the
governor himself, first and foremost, alno
by his private secretary, I,. B. Fuller, and
the clerk who gave the veto declaration to
the press. One had known of the veto as
at first prepared and th echango of the
executive mind, but had neglected to de
stroy the records after the governor had
attached hia name to the Tanner measure.
Another knew o ftha veto, hut not of the.
subsequent algnlng of the bill, while Gov

wouldn't make much difference anyway,
only the South Omaha people, or some of
them at least, might have a pleasant sur

first reports. "I had prepared a veto on
this bill, as a fact, but when the com

File No. 81, came down to my desk, I
looked it over pretty thoroughly and de
cided to put a quietus on It without fur
ther adieu. Then it struck me that It would
be a good thing to go over the charter
bill once more and see If that couldn't
be worthier than I thought at first. The
result Was that I signed the bill."
"And," continued the state executive, "I
thought that the Ad club comtnision meas
ure, which I signed a few daya ago would
be ultimately adopted by South Omaha
anyway and that In view of that fact,
they wouldn't have long to run under tho
inarier iorm, x mougni 11 wouiu do soma
good to give the bill my official scnctlon."
T to Tanner Hills (iet Alt,
