(From' Staff Correspondent)
MCOLN, Neb., July 6. BpoctsJ.)-
When the state legislature took the ac
tion It did on the proposition of univer
sity extension, voting a levy each year
for six years to be used In extension
Vof the university either on ground con
tiguous to the present location or at
the state farm, the levj; as voted with
. the proviso that the ipie of the state
should settle the matter of localon.
It wu thougHt that by leaving the
matter to the people tha here v;ould be
no chance for politics to enter Into the
discussion and that the voters of the
state would be left free to express their
preference without the matter being
made a part of tho political platform of
any candidate.
At the time of the formation of the
eo called university alumni anti-removal'
committee, organized for the purpose of
educating the people against removal of
the university, ,E. M. Pollard, chief en
gineer of the movement for the forma
tion of such a committee, Informed The
Bee that the committee did not Intend
to bring the matter of removal or anti
removal Into the political campaign at
all and that no candidate who had favored
removal at the time of the legislative
controversy would be opposed because of
his stand.
Calling on Candidates.
But It la this same atitl-removal com
mittee which Is seeking to make political
foot ball out of university removal by
calling upon candidates) to express them
selves on the proposition and after doing
so use the communication In their argu-
mento In favor of their proposition to keep
tt)e university on the down town location.
Recently the committee sent a communi
cation to one of the candidates for tho
nomination for governor on the demo
cratlo ticket asking him where he stood
on the proposition: , His answer was
that he was In favor of keeping the uni
versity on the present location and the
committee Is using that letter In full aa
one of the arguments against removal of
the university to the state farm.
It Is well known that the university at
times has been made the political foot
ball of Interested parties In the past, who
have net been adverse to carrying out
their plans at thexpenae of the uni
versity, and as a ""result 'the university
has suffered from look of appropriations
at the hands of the legislature.
Comment is being heard because of the
111 advised action of the, alumni anti-removal
committee In calling upon candi
dates to take a stand upon a question It
had been hoped would be left to the people
to settle without prejudice caused by po
litical conditions.

LINCOLN, July 6. (8pec!al.)-The first
filing for congress In the Fourth congres
sional district reached the office of the
secretary of state this afternoon. County
Treasurer Walter II. Rhodes of Hebron
filing for the democratic nomination.
Mr. Rhodes was county superintendent
of Thayer county two terms. He then
went Into the office of the oounty treas
urer under his father aa deputy and was
then elected treasurer.
It Is reported on pretty reliable author
ity that Herman DIers, who served In the
legislature and was later democratto can
didate for lieutenant governor on the
ticket with Governor Morehead. but was
defeated by R It McKelvie, present lleu-t
tenant governor, by 14,656. votes, will file.
Mr. DIers .lives at Gresham, In York
county.
Flics ns a "Pop."
w, B. East ham, who some time ago
filed for the democratto nomination for
land commissioner, has concluded that he
may need a few Independent votes and
today sent In a filing for the nomination
on that ticket
Where la 'Thin' District, t
E. B. Bonher. sheriff of Chase county,
would like to serve his district in the
state legislature and today sent In his
tiling for the democratto nomination from
"this" district As the secretary of state
Is not clear as to where "this" distriot
Is and as such a district Is not provided
In the constitution as entitled to a rep
resentative, the filing will not be made
until something more specific Is shown,
Uncle Frits Hoffmetster represented the
district In the last session of which Chase
county forms a part and so It Is possible
that Mr. Hoffmelster will have some op
position it the sheriff ever discovers the
number of "this" district so he can com
plete the filing.
Ilnanee Flies Again,
Senator B. K. Bushee has concluded that
he would like to come back to the senate
again and has filed from tho Twenty
seventh district. This district comprises
the counties of Scott's Bluff, Banner,
Kimball, Morrill, Cheyenne, Garden.
Deuel, Grant Hooker, Thomas, McPher-
son, Thomas and the new county of Ar
thur. Senator Bushee was one of the
strong members of the last session, and
his decision to make the race again will
be heolled with delight by those who
know the work he performed in the last
session.

LUMBER BUSINESS IS
EXPECTED TO PICK UP
The lumber business out of Omaha Is
still a trifle duller than usual at this time
of the year, although It Is better than
In most cities. Lumbermen all winter ex
pected that by this time there would be
greater activity in the lumber trade.
Much' building Is going on In Omaha, of
course, and In the cities and .towns out In
the state. This calls for a steady supply
of lumber, but the usual spring volume
of business Is late In starting.
Dealers are optimistic, however, that
the lumber business will pick up with a
spurt later in the summer, especially after
some of the early crops of small grain
are marketed. Salesmen say that general
conditions In the state are so favorable
that larger sales of lumber could ordi
narily be looked for under the conditions.
