DOCTOR P. L. HALL
FIRMLYJAYS "HO"
Democratic Committeeman Declares
He Will Not Become Candi
date for Governor.
LEADERSHIP FALLS ON BRYAN
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dee. 24. (Speolal.)-Dr.
Philip I,. Hall, national democratia com
mitteeman from Nebraska, will not play
Santa Claus for the democratic party
and hand tt a Christmaa present tomorro
in the shane of an acceptance of the filing
made last Monday placing him In nomi
nation for governor.
The law specifies that where a petition
Is filed placing any rerson In nomination
for a state office they are given five
days In which to accept the filing. In
cane an acceptance is not made at the ex
piration of the five days. It works a de
clination of the nomination and the name
cannot go on the primary ballot.
As the fifth day falls tomorrow, Christ
mas day, and the secretary of state's
office Is legally closed, and as the next
day Is Sunday and the same rule applies.
Dr. Hall really has until Monday to ac
cept the filing.
Doctor Says No."
In answer to an Inquiry by a Bee rep
resentative whether he would accept, the
doctor ver yempb&tlcally said '"No," and
aid it in a way that indicated he was
rather inclined to mean just what he
aid.
This will come as a sad blow to the
followers of the meek and lowly long
eared quadruped, for without a leader
like Dr. Hall or Governor Morehead, the
political future appears gloomy indeed.
It Is true the party has Mayor Charles
Bryan to lead them, and he may event
ually be the man to whom all will flock
swi the one to lead the "gallant six hun
dred." It Is true it will be a hard Job
for some of them to subscribe to Mr.
Bryan's prohibition platform, but Brother
William J. has always been successful
In whipping them into line.
However, the prospect does not look
a if the average democrat would have
very much to make him enjoy Christmas,
unless he takes to the companionship of
the Honorable Mr. Thomaeand the Hon
orable Mr. Jeremiah, who have the ability
to bring Joy where sadness refgns su
preme, and In that case they may be able
to see two candidates for governor where
nly one can be seen now.

Thursday they smashed another

Thejr cancelled 299,400 letters on the
machine and several thousand more
were cancelled by hand. The largest
previous day's record was 2M.600
In one day.
Nine men can work the canceling ma
chine. The principal work Is to Insert
the If tiers and cards all the same way
so that the canceller will go over the
stamps. A belt carrier takes the letters
from the nine workmen to the rapidly re
volving canceling stamp.
In the postofflce this morning were
great baskets crammed and piled with
lettera and cards. There will be a pos
sible delay of one day on letter deliveries.
The envelopes smaller than the usual
letter sis ara much harder to handle
and distribute, and this adds to the dif
