THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1918. NEVILLE .SENDS BEST REGARDS TO M'KELVIE "War Governor' Writes Let ter io Successor, in Which He Takes His Defeat Gracefully. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, Nov. 6. (Special.) With the smoke of battle still over the battleground, democrats at the state house are taking their defeat in' a sportsmanlike manner. Gov - crnor Neville has shown himself to be a good loser and today sent to his opponent the following charac teristic letter of congratulations: "Dear Mac: Shortly after the returns began to come in, I was seized with a suspicion which quickly grew into a conviction, that congratulations were very much in order.' I therefore hasten to tender my heartiest congratulations upon your election as governor of Ne braska. "Defeated candidates, like the prizefighters of old, should be well provided with alibis. I have none. I am not even disturbed by the thought that the ship of state is go ing 'headlong on the rocks. In my last year at college, we had the greatest foot ball team the institu tion had ever enjoyed. None of us who were leaving- thought. that it could ever be equaled. The next year they had a better one. "I have always been impressed with the philosophy that life is just one thing after another. "With best wishes for a success ful administration, I am (the dear old State Journal to the contrary notwithstanding), Your war gov ernor, "KEITH NEVILLE." Smith Good Loser. State Auditor Smith, who went up agajnst the congressional game and ran into the McLaughlin buzz saw, was smiling just as if being defeated .. for5 congress was really a pleasure. The auditor has a mighty good newspaper out at his home in Seward and he will probably go back there and-wield the editorial ren and feel nore at home anyway tl.an he would down in Washington. Secretary of State Charlie Pool, who got an idea that the time had come when Uncle Mose ' Kinkaid could be relegated to private life, came out of it when the returns from the back precincts began coming in and while he did not acknowledge his idea before election that he could beat Kinkaid. was a pretty bum steer, he admits it now and probably, like the auditor, will go back to the newspaper game when his term as secretary of state has expired. ' Cold Outlook. Land Commissioner Shumway is in Colorado, where he went to at tend the funeral of his son-in-law, L but is expected back in a few days. With no legislative jobs to fall back on to carry them through a cold winter, lemployes at the state house are looking upon life very seriously. With the whole stale houses and every department repub lican, the lonesome air which has characterized Railway Commission ers Hall and Taylor will be trans ferred to their colleague, Commis sioner Wilson, with a double effect.' Mr. Wilson will be the only demo crat holding an elective office in the state house after January. Six Republicans from -Nebraska in Congress, Lincoln Star Declares . Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6.
