Manager of Water Board An
nounces Candidacy for Gov-,
ernor; Robert Smith to -
Manage Campaign.
' R. B. Howell, general manager of
the Metropolitan Water board, and
' republican national committeeman for
Nebraska, has announced his intention
to file for the gubernatorial nomina
tion. He stated that hi petition has been
lent to Lincoln.
Robert Smith, clerk of the district
. Ml 1 I TT tl !
cuuri, wui dc iur. xioweu s campaign
manager. ,
I vill not conduct an extensive
campaign, but expect to make a few
automobile speaking tours; 1 will con
tinue the service of the water dis
trict as general manager uhd will at.k
for a leave of absence for such time
as I may be out of the city during the
primary campaign," Mr. Howell
stated.
He made the race for governor in
1914. running against Ros Ham
mond of Fremont and J. H. Kemp
of Fullerton for the republic nomi
nation. In the finals he was defeated
by John II. Morehead, who had a
plurality of 19,000 over Howell and
backett.
'Press Public Ownership.
Mr. Howell states that during his
forthcoming primary campaign he
will emphasize public ownership,
either co-operative or compulsory, as
he did in his-1914 ampaun.
Frank Harrison of Lincoln, who is
interested in the candidacy of Senar
tor Norn's, has been in Om; ha this
. -wnur ana rnntirrfn witn Kir. Hnwc l
meetings.
"I expect Mr. Harrison's support,"
was Mr. Howell's comment on those
meetings.
True Americans Are
Eauilti Told Ru Smile
When War News Breaks
German sympathizers way be
easily detected now, according to
the theory of the elevator operator
at the Young Women's Christian
association. "There are several peo
ple who ride on my elevator," said
the operator Thursday, "whom I
have long suspected of being Ger
man sympathizers. Now I am sure
of it, because theyare so cross."
The latest war news is constantly
kept hanging beside the lever on
this elevator and is a sort of barom
eter by which the loyalty of the
passengers may be observed. When
there is news of a victory smiles in
dicatetrue Americans; frowns mean
treachery.

Making Plans for Omaha
. Consolidated Ticket Offices
'General Passenger Agent Wakeley
of the Burlington has beeen called to
Chicago to confer with the committee
that has charge of the consolidation
of railroad ticket offices west of the
Mississippi river. He is "a member
of the committee and upon his return
it is expected that he will be able to
announce the personnel of the Omaha
office.
Unless men re brought in from
other offices, it is going to be difficult
to find enough expert sellers to han
dle the Omaha business. In the last 60
days the ticket selling forces in the
Omaha offices have been reduced
more than 50 per cent by reason of
clerks leaving for war, or going into
other lines of work that paid higher
wages.
