CLARKE'S NAME IS SPOKEN
(Prom a Staff Correspondent. )
i : i r-- re:i di:
L.I1II.IMII, j. .jpci.i. j un
ties ia beginning to simmer again,
notwithstanding 'that the last elec
tion is hardly a thing of the past, and
the latest is tb connecting of the
name of Merton L. Corey with polit
ical ambitions.
The political dope gives it out that
Mr. Corey will move to Hastings and
when the proDer time comes will
come out as a candidate for congress
on the democratic ticket. There is
only one thing standing in the way
of the perfection of the plan and that
is the present congressman, Mr. Shal
lenberger. However it is said that the Alma
congressman has never quite given
up a hankering that he would like
to be a United States senator, and it
will be up to the interested ones to
cultivate that "hankering" until it de
velops into a well rounded out deter
mination to get into the fight.
Corey's Other Ambitions.
The'n again it is said that Corey
would like to go on the Interstate
Commerce commission provided the
commission membership is enlarged
as proposed. It has always been un
derstood that if the commission was
enlarged that there was another well
known Nebraskan who has won his
spurs in many a fight who would
stand a mighty good show of landing
a place on the commission, and he is
Henry T. Clarke of the 'Nebraska
State Railway commission. Mr.
Clarke is recognized all over the
country as one of the really strong
men connected with affairs associated
with the work which the commission
has to do and for some time his name
has been mentioned whenever a place
on the commission has been talked
of. Members of the national com
mission are acquainted with Mr.
Clarke and have more than once tes
tified to his ability and so when if
comes to a place on the commission,
unless politics will be the standard
for membership, Mr. Clarke can real
ly be considered as having the Inside
track. - . . , -
But to return to Mr. Corey and the
United States senatorship, and its
connection with other political things.
Will the interested friends of Mr.
lenberger that he ought to run for
the senate and after doing so will the
way b clear for him? v .
i ' Other Barkises.
It it known that there are other
democrats besides Mr, Shallenberger
who are making eyes at the senator
ship. Governor Morehead would not
throw the nomination away if it
should come to him, and it it sus
pected that he would not dodge to
keep from getting hit if it should be
thrown in his direction. Then again
there Is Attorney General Reed. The
attorney general haa gone to Wash
ington this week, and it il suspected
will make an investigation of the chair
now held by Senator Norris to see
just how it will fit him. There it
only one thing, apparently, against
Mr. Reed, and that it that he comet
from the North Platte country. How
ever, that it not likely to discourage
the attorney general. When' he looks
over the last election results and teet
the majorities he received in tome of
the South Platte countiet, he timpty
smiles and thowt no tignt of worry.
With Governor, Morehead, Attor
ney General Reed and Congressman
Shellenberger in the fight for the
democratic nomination, there will be
interest enough all along the lint of
democratic trenches to keep prog
nosticatort; busy for some time to
come. - '

The president's plana on the sub

howevir, that the administration con
siders the cost of living one of the
most pressing questions before the
country and that many of the presi

Thousands of petitions are pouring
into the White House calling for some

JONES sometimes wakes up feeling cross
and in consequence the family know it
without his telling them in so many words.
Mrs. Jones attributes it to biliousness and
if it doesn't wear off during the day she
gives him a dose of liver medicine at night.
The next morning he feels better and she ,
gives him coffee for breakfast, and the next
morning, and the next morning. And in
a few days Jones has another spell.
Dear Mrs. Jones means all right, but she
doesn't seem to realize that if she didn't give
Jones his morning coffee she wouldn't have ,
to give him the liver medicine and Jones
would feel all right without both.
Housewives everywhere have found out
that Instant Tostum takes the place of break
fast coffee perfectly. And that is only one of
the reasons why Instant Postum , has wholly
supplanted the use of coffee on thousands
upon thousands of American breakfast tables.

ttruction in the elaborate three-year
building program authorized at the
last tession as part of the admini
stration's plan to strengthen the na
tional defense. There also remain to
be acted upon important conserva
tion measures which the president ana
many members of both legislative
branches have been advocating.
Beside those measures President
Wilson wants congress to enact the
Wehb bill to make it leizal for Ameri
can corporations to maintain col
lective selling agencies for foreign
countries. Under terms of the Clay
ton anti-trust law such agencies
would be unlawful. The president
was disappointed over failure of the
senate to pass the till in the closing
days of the last session and expressed
his regrets in a tormai statement.
Detente Measures Pending.
With regard to the national defense
there are, beside the regular army,
navy and coast defense supply bills,
several measures bearing on the mili
tary efficiency of the country. Among
them is the Chamberlain bill for a
modified form of universal military
training modelled after the Swiss sys
tem. Hearings are to be held by the
senate military committee, dm action
before adjournment seems improD
able.
Estimates on, the naval bill call for
an expenditure-next year of approxi'
matelv HOO.000,000 and authorization
for construction of three dreadnaughts
and at least one battle cruiser to add
to the four dreadnaunrhts and four bat.
tie cruisers ordered constructed as
soon as possible in the big naval bill
of the last session. "To keep up with
the three-year building program pro
vision also should be made for addi
tional scout cruisers, destroyers, fleet
and coast submarines and auxiliary
ships. '
Water Power Bills.
Conservation legislation will be de
manded by its champions, but wheth
er lime win permit .is a uuuiyuo inci
ter. Water power bills, which failed
at the last' session will be revived!
They include the public lands water
power bill and the measure to provide
for development of water power sites
in navigable streams by private capi
tal. There also is pending the New
lands' $60,000,000 bill for general de
velopment and co-ordinated control
of the country's waterways. Measures
are pending also for conservation of
mineral resources and improved con
trol of the flood waters. Measures
left over for which attention will be
asked arc the Shafroth bill to provide
civil government for Porto Rico and
the Hoke Smith bill to create a sys
tem of vocational education with fed
eral aid throughout the states.
Three New Senators.
The senate will have three . new
members to inaugurate when the
gavel falti tomorrow. It also must
elect' a new president, pro tempore,
owing to the death of Senator James
P. Clarke of Arkansas. A new ma
jority leader mutt be elected for the
next senate, owing to the defeat of
Senator Kern of Indiana, and there
is considerable maneuvering among
democratic tenatort for the honor
of president pro tempore. Some sena
tors who covet the leadership in the
next senate are being urged to ac
cept the vacancy, but are reluctant
to do to. . Among those under con
sideration are Senators Saulsbury of
Delaware, Walslt ot Montana, Over
man of North Carolina and Bankhead
of Alabama. In the selection the
democrats must take into considera
tion what is likely to be done with
the majority leadership next year.
If that is to go to a southern demo
crat and the tuccessor to Kern most
prominently mentioned is Martin of
Virginia the new president pro tern.
pore probably will be chosen from
the northern democrati. ,
Three new senators, who will take
their teats tomorrow, are James E.
Watson, republican, of Indiana, elec
ted' in place ot l nomas taggart,
democrat, to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Shivety; Bert
M. Fernald, republican, of Maine, who
succeeds Senator Burleigh, deceased.
and William F. Kiriiy, democrat, of
Arkansas, succeeding the late Senator
Clarke. The election of Watson re
duces the democratic majority in the
senate from sixteen to fourteen, the
senate now being composed of fifty
five democrats and forty-one repub
licans. In the new senate the ma
jority will be reduced to twelve.
There will be three new members
also to take seats in the house, Thom

James Hay of Virginia; Harry C.
