It was to' have begun in Ghent on Christmas eve with a .banquet tendered by tha burgomaster to fifty rep resentatives of the United States, fifty Kngllshmen and fifty Canadians in the hall where tha treaty was signed, but this is upset by the fact that the ancient Belgian city is now occupied by the Ger mans with whom Englana la at war.

GEORGE DOESNT WORRY OVER SAYING GOOD-BYE (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN. Dec. 24. (Specll.)-8tate Treasurer Walter A. George this morn ing dashed off th efollowing goodbye to the people of Nebraska: "My period of service as treasurer of the great state of Nebraska Is drawing near to a close. , "I realise the confidence that the peo ple of the stale have reposed In me by twice electing me to this high office. I Hoyse l.lkrly to fttn. Among the republicans who will prob ably hold on for the next two year Is Secretary Royse of tho state banking i board. Mr. Rnyse hus been with tha board as Its secretary for a number of years, and because of the Importance attached to the work of keeping a close check on the banks of the state, has shown himself to be peculiarly fitted for the place. He was appointed by Gov ernor Morehead two years ago because the governor had reasons to know that Mr. Royse was the man for the place. and there has been nothing to indicate that there Is necessity for a change. Brian May Stick. Another republican who has a pretty good chance to hold on for a tune Is U O. Brain, Insurance commissioner. Ho was, by virtue of Governor Morohend's preference for him, appolnte.l to the place two years ngo and nothing has been shown thnt tho governor has indicated that he Is displeased with thn conduct of the department under Mr. Brain. There fore, there Is a pretty good chance that the Insurance commissioner will hold on until the expiration cf his term. July 1, at least. Boyaston t'andldate. There are candidates for the position now held by Mr. Brian, but whether they have the punch to land a solar plexus blow on Mr. Brian's salary voucher Is not known. It is said that CharlesLtoyd ston, a well known Insurance man of Lincoln and also welt known over the state, might accept the place if it was proffered him, but whether he will make a fight for it Is not known. The candi dacy of Mr. Boydston has been kept under the hat pretty effectually so far and but little is known as to his Inten tions. It is a pretty well known fact that Governor Morehead Intends to try to make the coming two years of hla ad ministration a climax to the two years Just passing, which he feels has boeu pretty well conducted, and he may not care to make any changes where he is satisfied wtlh the efficiency of present Incumbents. The position of state engineer, held by As to Bnarlneer Price. D. D. Price Is one which will come under the Jurisdiction of a board hitherto re publican, but now democratic. Whether poUtlos will dominate the seleotlon is hard to tell. Two democrats, the gov ernor and attorney general, and one re publican, the land commissioner, will have the selection of a successor to Mr. Price If he does not succeed himself. Strange as it may seem, it Is reported on good authority that the republican mem ber of the board is opposed to the appoint ment of Mr. Price while a democratic member Is said to be pretty well satis fied that Price Is tho man needed for the position because of his knowledge of conditions regarding the power sites In the state which In the next two yours are liable to become very prominent sub jects of discussion and for action. The state could lose a great deal by having a new man In the position now uia or mr. trice who was un acquainted with the ropes, and for this reason It Is said that because the state might lose from having a new man at the Important post this democratic mem ber feels that In the best interests of the state Price should be retained. How ever, If the republican member persists In refusing to vote for a republican, a democrat may land the position. I (From a Staff Correspondent.) L1NCOLX. Dee. 24 -(Special.)
