May 13.-(SpecUl.)-A motion picture machine that would be quick enough to catch the rapid evolu tions of tho several democratic factions In their otforts to discover something which would save them from defeat this fall, would probably dlsclo.c more double crossing and misrepresentation than at any time In the history of the democratic party In the stato. At the present time the main effort Is being mado to convince Governor More head that ho should break his word made during his campaign for governor, that ho would not Iks n candidate for a second term and file agRln for the democratic nomination. So desperate have they be como that thry have promised the gov ernor that It ho files Colonel John G. Mahrr. who has already filed for the democratic nomination for governor, will pull out of the race and turn over his support to the executive. When naked about It today, Colonel Mahcr said: "I have not pulled out of the race', ly, have not told anybody I would get out; I expect to stay In, and, furthermore, I am going lo win at the' primaries. The fel low who thinks that I am going to lay down on the Job has got another think coming. I am receiving too many en dorsements ot my cnn.lldacy and praises for my stand on certain questions to pull out ot the rnco nt this early day. "Somo people are taking a drive at mn saying I am the liquor men's candidate. I never received accent from a liquor man In my life qr voted for one Just bo causo he wns a wet man. "Look here," and ulllng a letter from his pocket, he showed It to a couplo ot ncwi-paper men. "Hero Is a letter from a temperance man who has known me all his life. Head It." T,ho letter disclosed that while the writer was a dry man ho admired the stand taken'hy Colonel Mahcr on the wet proposition and said he proposed to sup port him becauso his platform meant something. "The democratic party has been pulled around, hero and there, hither and thtthor, too long by tho Bryans," said Colonel Mahcr. "King William and I'rlnco Charlie have used tho party for their own personal welfare Just as long as they .are going to If I can have any Influence with Nebraska democrats. They have betrayed their friends, punished tholr enemies, gone back on Instructions given them by conventions and usod means to accomplish their ends whlrh would bo condemned It used along busi ness lines. I propose to see that the dem ocratic party of Nebraska Is freed from these barnacle, nnd any man who says that I am considering pulling out for Governor Morehead or any other demo crat doesn't know what he Is talking about and Is simply misrepresenting the matter to the governor." Colonel Mahcr expects to go to New York next week, hut on his return will open his campaign and the fur will fly from then on. i v - i Notes from Beatrice and Gage County BEATRICE. Neb..
