COWLICK TALKS OF COLONEL
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 81. (Special.) There
Is a deep atmosphere of mystery in the
democratic camp tod.ny. The conference
of Governor Morehead and Mayor Charles
Bvan yesterday and on top of that a
hurried visit to Lincoln today of C. M.
Kklles of - David City, who has been
hobnobbing with politicians, has led to
the belief that something will be turned
loose In the democratic camp very
shortly.
The fact thst some of the so-called
leaders In Lincoln arc not In on the deal
has made the situation all the more com
plicated, for nobody seems to know Just
when It will happen.
Home are of the opinion thst another
concerted effort is being made to spring
a demand for Governor Morehead to get
Into the race for a third term. It Is even
Intimated that the demand will be backed
up by an r even stronger force than
prompted the governor to change his
mind two years ago. but where It will
come from or In what manner it will
come is the great secret.
Corrlrk Sees T. H. In Race.
It Vi the opinion of Frank P. Corrick,
who has Just returned from a six weeks'
sojourn In the east, whve he hobnobbed
with politicians of all klids, that Theo
dore Roosevelt will be the republican
nominee for the presidency.
Mr. Corrick bases his prediction on opin
ions expressed by business men, who,
while business has been pretty good dur
ing the last year, do not lay It to any
conditions resulting from the work or
policy of the democratic administration,
but rather to the result of conditions
brought on by the war in Europe.
Business men of the east, Mr. Corrick
says, are almost universally for prepar
edness and preparedness of the kind ad
vocated largely by the Oyster Bay states
man. They are not In sympathy with
the manner in which the situation has
been handled in the controversies with
belligerent nations and say that with
Roosevelt in the presidential chair a pol
icy would be carried out that would count
for results.
Thlfl would not mean war, they believe,
but they think the offending nations
know Teddy so well that they would
know better than to dllly dally along
and would understand that what Mr.
Roosevelt laid down would have to be
followed out and there would be no high
worded communications ably couched In
grammatical words which had a mean
ingless end.
Mr. Corrick says that most of the senti
ment for the peace program haa come
from the middle west and that tie east
and the Pacific coast states are "not in
sympathy with It.
