THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 1920. Lincoln Bureau of The Omaha Bee NEBRASKA BIG FACTOR IN U. S. POLITICAL RING Congressman Reavis Denies He Is Aspirant for Vice Presidency-lsCandi- -dato or Congress. Lincoln, Feb: 12. (Special.) The open season on democratic aspirants is on in Washington and the ad ministration forces are just now having lot of fun trying to sniokv William Jennings Bryan put of his political hole. This is in substance the condition rf things, according to Congressman C. F. Reavis, who is in Lincoln and spoke at the banquet of ,the Young Men's Rapublican club and will, again address the constitutional con vention, going Vfrorn here to his home in Falls City for a day before returning to Washington. Demos are Active. Nebraska is a dominant factor in the national capital," said Mr. Reavis. "This pertains especially to the democrats.'. Carter Glass and Secretary Daniels have jnduced Sen ator Hitchcock to allow petitions naming him for the democratic nom ination for the presidency to be cir culated in Nebraska. The senator was at first just a little reluctant.'but Glass and Daniels were successful in inducing him1 to allow the peti tions to be circulated in order to force the hand of Bryan and compel him to play the administration gam:; and get into line for Hitchcock or come out squarely against him as a delegate to the convention. . "The speech of Bpyan at the Jack- 1 son (Jay banquet, followed by his attack upon Governor Edwards of New Jersey, because of the gover- : nor's remarks that he would make the United States as wet as the At lantic ocean, hasjinspired the pro- ' hibition forces oi the country to get behind Bryan, and his strength has grown to such proportions that it has become necessary to tie Bry an up, if possible, for the adminis tration forces. Committeeman Big Question. xiic ciciuuu ui a. ueniuci auc na tional committeeman in Nebraska," safd Mr. Reavis, "figures largely in, tle plans, and it is generally admit ted that Arthur Mullen present na tional committeaman, has a great deal to do with the matter." Reading a newspaper report that he had been selected by a confer ence of republicans in Chicago as a candidate for the republican nomi nation for ttie.vice presidency, Mr. Reavis said: "I wonder where they got that dope. It is the first time I ever heard of it. I am a candidate for congress, and no other office." '- Reviews Investigations. Over 400 people attended the 30th annual banquet of the Lancastei County Republican club at the Lin coln hotel Thursday evening and heard Congressman F. Reavis re view the investigations held by spe cial committees on the wasteful methods of the War department and .the exposures which came about from those investigations. The con- "P. A.

Adoption of the principle of me snort oaiior Dy tne constitutional convention is not favored if the ac tion of the members on several prop ositions in the way of amendments to the Tackson-Bvnum bill can be t;iken as the real feeling existing. The Jackson-Bynum bill provides for the election of a governor, lieu tenant governor, auditor, treasurer and attorney general and divides up -the duties of the other state offices, giving the lind commissioners duties to the lieutenant' governor and pro viding for the appointment of a sec retary of state, state superintendent and railway commissioners bv a cab inet comoosed of the above five elec tive ofiicer. After several amendments had been proposed and disposed of a mo tion was iitade to send the bill back to the standing committee with in structions to draw up a bill cutting O'.t the placing of appointments in th? hands of the five elective offi cers and leaving it as it is now. This motion was made by Bigelow of Douglas. Coufal of Butler then sent up a motion instructing the committee to leave all legislative matter out of the bill to be drawn and leave the con stitutional provisions as to state of- ticers as il is ndw. This carried with a good majority. - The roll call on sending back the Jackson-Bynum bill was 57 to 36 and is taken as nearly expressing the sentiment of the convention regard ing any changes in the number of etective officers. The boys of 1861 and the boys of 1917 joined hands in the constitu tional convention and paid glowing tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln in an hour spent when the convention opened. , The corn begins to lose its (trip at one.
