The Merten Grand piano is constructed along the most
approved lines and has attained a perfection of tonal qual

ot the older makes. Finished In either Circassian walnut or
mahogany and designs of the Sheraton and Colonial
periods.

UNCOLN. .Mny 20 (Speclal).-The at
tempt to bring out Governor Morehcad
and force him to break his promise made
to the people of the stato that he would
not bo a candidate for a second term Is
causing much trouble In the ranks and
Is bound to split the party ecn worso
than at the present time.
The attempt to bring out the governor
Is looked upon by Charles Bryan to be
an act of the reactionary Democrats and
to his way of thinking a move on the
part of the Champ Clark followers to
side-track any move tending to be an
endorsement of the present administra
tion. Ho Is of the belief that the man
who loads the party In Nebraska this
j ear should stand firmly upon an en
dorsement of the administration platform
and make the fight on national Issues.
He nccuses tho men who have engineered
the deal to hring about a trend of senti
ment towaid the rcnominatlon of Gov
ernor Morehcad to have been unfair In
the matter, securing endorsmcnts from
members of the state commltU'e who
were supposed to be partial toward the
governor anyway and falling to ask for
opinions fro those members of the com
mittee who were known to bo friendly
toward Mr. Bryan. He nccuses Arthur
Mullen of being the principal offender In
the preposition.
liny lit" Forced to File.
Mr. Bonn will not say whether he will
fllo as a candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor If Governor
Morehcad files, but Intimates that If the
reactionaries get too offensive he will get
Into the fight Just to save the party from
being taken away from Brother Bill. It
Is the general opinion that ho will be
compelled to file In order to give the
followers of Bryanlsm a chance to make
a showing.
