Governor Neville's Appointment to Command New Seventh Regiment .
Causes Great Uneasiness Among Office Holders at btate La

RIPPING FIGHT
IN DEMOS' RANKS
NOW IN PROSPECT
Little Chance that Howard,
Once in Governor'? Chair, Will
Resign to Let Anti-Bryari
Men Get Control. . ,
Lincoln, Oct. .3. (SpcciaJ- Telec
gram.)-Jt is laken. for -granted that.
a revision of the political program
will be forced by the retirement of
Governor Neville and the assumption
of the Executive 'office ty Lieutenant
Governor Howard. . .
. Judge Howard has been telling his
friends that he was ready to" rake
the race for United States senator to
succeed Senator Norris, and would
run for the nomination - at the next
democratic primary, unless one of
two friends, whom he named," them
selves became candidates.
It is no secret that one of the fac
tors impelling Judge, Howard to look
to the senatorship rather than the
governorship ,was the conviction that
he was barred from seeking ih latter
office by thoectjqn of the state con
stitution, ;-. which .. makes any: elected
member of the. executive department
ineligible .to any rothe.f ' executive of-
fice during.his term, i ,, . V;
Combination in the Cards.
But it soon will be "Governor"
Howard instead of "Lieutenant Gov
ernor", Howard and then nothing will
prevent Governor Howard from seek
ing the election--in fact.it is the na
tural thing for a governor to invite a
popular approval, of, his record in this
way.;
f It ; is well in the political cards,
therforev,that a combinttion will be
forthcorniiir before the next primary
of Edgar Howard for governor and
some good Bryan democrat for United
States senator, and' fee pitted against
a similar combination put up by the
Mullen-Hitchcock faction. . ,
' "It's too bad Governor Neville was
not allowed to follow his own wish
and take the colonelcy of the Sixth
Nebraska, instead of the Seventh," de
clared an intimate friend of the ex
ecutive today, "Had he done so he
V would hart been in Ihe field by' this
time instead of waiting around for
the new regiment to be mustered Into
the federal service," he continued.
'That is what he wanted to do and
' would have done had he not been held
back ' by the 'Jlcmocratic bosses., to
whom be felt he owed a debt of pcr-
! sonai toyaity tor m&kinor him' last
year. K: ' '
"There Is another thing about k,
too, and that is, that had the governor
, headed the. Dandy Sixth the chance
are it would have been permitted to
maintain its identity , and would Jiot
have been split tip as It has been. '
"When Governor Neville went to
Washington" to. sea what he could do
to keep the Nebraska regiments intact
he found ( that th jrder. had. been
given and that.it was 'fbi-the-good
of the service,! in' which no outside
influence could Interfere. It is. prac
tically certain, however, - that- had he
been the colonel -in- command,' no
such division would ha,v been ordered
or demanded 'for the.: good -of- the
, service.' M it.1 ,
"When he goes out -now with the
Seventh, he wiU have, to go with In
experienced subordinate officers for
the most part and he will have a
much harder jb than if associated
with the regular officers of an estab
lished regiment."
i ; Go to Seaatel-;Nll-'"-
Omaha friends of the governor be
lieve he has found his place as leader
of the Seventh Nebraska. A military
carter is nearer than political honor
to the heart of the retiring executive.
Not long ago, while conversing
with an Omaha man,-Goverhor Neville
in seriousness gave the impression
tha eat in the United States sen
ate did not attract him.
"You should, aspire to, the senate,
Keith," remarked his friend. "Don't
you know that Is about the highest
, honor a man can have next to presi
dent?" i;-.1 j'"v:
, "Do you think I could stand being
penned up for six months at Wash
ington?" replied the .governor. 1 . ; ,
Neville has been an outdoor man,
all of his life.'. Ji has excelled at
. football and. base, ball and his life
has' been devoted to outdoor activi
ties!, A military career will meet the
reqvtrements of his physical nature,
while the demands of a political
career are irksome to him. Wealth
has : not disturbed the equilibrium of
this' representative Nebraskan.
A for Edgar Howard resigning
- from the gubernatorial honor which
i may fall upon his shoulders, Mayor
James C Dahlman, an intimate friend
of the lieutenant governor, smiled and
remarked: .. ......
"I have a picture of Edgat Howard
thrusting aside,-the toga-which. Keith
Neville has harided' to'him." I can
just see Edgar resigningthat Is I
can not see him resigning. Edgar
is not addicted to that habjt"

OUTRIGHT LEAVES
TO LIVEJNWYOMING
Life Long; Democrat and Editor
of Lincoln Star Will Cast His
Lot With Oowpancheri
and Oil Men.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, :Oct 3. (Special.) John
W. Cutright, life-long democrat and
editor of the Lincoln Daily Star, will
leave Nebraska to keep from being
drafted by the democratic party at a
candidate for the United State senate.
Mr. Cutright has been making
speeches for the State Council of De
fense, arid like his editorials they
have been hot and peppery. These
speeches put him in the limelight as
a candidate for the senate and he left
today for Wyoming, where' he will
establish a legal residence on a home
stead. To The Bee Mr. Cutright gave
the following reasons why he was npt
taking kindly to the plan oi his fel
low democrats to make him accept a
nomination which might not mean an
election:
"Yes, I have been deafened by the
great popular clamor for my election
to the senatorship. At least a dozen
men, or anyhow, nearly a dozen men,
have mentioned me with varying de
grees of favor for senator. My old
friend, Charley Heubner - of the Ne
braska City News, directed his edi
torial finger at me as-good material,
but Charley and .1 have een friends
for over forty years... Recently Sen
ator Sorenson, in his great personal
and official organ, listed me among
those mentioned, but Sorenson has
been a friend of mine since along
about 1880. .
Has Been Mentioned.
- "Several republicans of standing,
two of them known as organization
republicans, have signified a desire
to -vote for me for senator, and at
least two newspapers have mentioned
me editorially as an also ran because
I have been over the state some mak
ing patriotic talks on the war. You
know when a man Is found nowadays
speakirig for his country It is the
signal for the dopestcrs to begin
guessing what it is he is seeking as
his reward, .That sort of process, you
understand, tends so inevitably toward
encouraging the spirit of loyalty
among those who may have heard him
speak. "
"These various incidents have ad
vised me that a tidal wave of senti
ment was coming my way, and to
avoid being sentenced to a term in
the senate I have determined to -flee
the state. By the end of the week I
expect to have established a con
structive residence upon a homestead
in Wyoming, '', contemplating the
transfer of my permanent residence
thereto .in the spring.
1 t . He H Hunch.
. "I have, a strong bunch that I am
not Senatorial timber1. It is an honor
that, no .roan who '. feels competent
could put aside.! It is too great an
honor to be bestowed upon the unde
serving or the incompetent. Seme
times I ' Jbave imagined ' that fiard!
study during a long period of ncjvs-;
paper service "had given me a broad !
enough grasp of great governmental;
problems -to- enSle me to wiggle
through a term of senatorial service
without humiliation, but J. know that
I am woefully lacking in other re
spects. For instance, I am conscious
that I never could make a bid for rec
ognized leadership of a clamorous
bunch of prohibition colleagues dur
ing the legislative day while spend
ing my. evenings sipping; rare old
brands of stomach paint 'given me
by a friend.' I. just know, that if I
happened to engage in an all-night
session at draw poke with-a bunch of
friends I could not the following
morning piously substitute - for the
senate' chaplain in offtring the morn
ing prayer, -
Carried Heavy; Load. .
"Besides, I have been a hod carrier
for my party for a good many earsy
and have delighted In extolling and
helping other .member! of It into
high "places 'and' sustaining them
while there." Possibly had I -known
that I'-should ever be suggested by
anybody for. a , senatorship..; I might
have been engaged during all those
years in defaming, denouncing, de
crying and trying to defeat all of the
men. who gained prominence oyer me
in my party.' And i've-never been
great enough as a, democrat to win
always the cordial encouragement and
support of republican newspapers. It
takes 'a really sturdy democrat to do
that. .; ? ; :
"I, suppose consternation will seize
and overwhelm Nebraska democrats
when it discovers that I have Bed to
avoid the senatorial draft, . but in a
couple of days I shall be ft construc
tive resident of Wyoming. Of course
I shall come back to Nebraska within
a week or so to continue here' until-
next spring. Of course, also, : Ne
braska could elect a senator who is a
resident of another state it they those'
to do so. .The law. permit it., But I.
do not'think they will m this-lRstanc'c-doit."

no longer powtr.fp dictate things in

Bryan of Lincoln, who to newspaper
men today resented thr inference that
Mr. Mullen had engineered a deal
where In the case of the resignation
of Governor Neville, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Edgar Howard would be gov
ernor only long enough to resign so
that President of the Senate John

years hence. , t
A Says Mullen Out of It.
"Mr. Mullen may be democratic
committeeman from Nebraska," said
Mr. Bryan, "but he' is no longer able
to. control matter in the democratic
party of this state. When the people
of the state voted for prohibition Old
King Alcohol went to the discard as
far as a power in Nebraska is con
cerned and Arthur Mullen went the
same way. Mr. Mullen can't fix up
any deal and put it across. He is a
back number and the future will show
it. There used to be a time when Mr.
Mullen could twist the democratic
party around and with the help of re
publican wet votes carry the day, but
that time is passed, and when anybody
says that he can put any thing across
it's a mistake ' and the future will
show it."
."Don't you think Mr. Mattes would
make a good governor?" he was
asked." , ,'
"I am not discussing that question,"
replied Mr. Bryan. "Inhe future
