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. Barrows, Correspondent "
gressman spoke for more than an
hourand was, enthusiastically ap
plauded at everv point
Other speakers were President,
Weaver of the constitutional con
vention, Harry Reese and Miss Muir
of the Lincoln high school.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 12. (Special.)
Two prisoners in the county jail,
Ownie Breiner and Vefii 'Tellinger,
sawed their way, to freedom early

No Serious Damage Is
Expected From Hessian Fly
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 12. (Special.)
Although a general alarm has
been sounded by the United States
Di'partm. nt of Agriculture to the
effect that !ie Hessian fly threatens
the 1920 winter wheat crop, Prof.
M. il. Swcnk, Nebn.ska state ento
mologist, anticipates no serious
damage in this statJ this year. It
is true, Prof. Swenk said, that in
dications I'oint to ati increase in the
lly, jiid serious dampge may result
from its ravages in two or three
years. Weather and other condi
tions may have some effect on the
extei.t of this injury.
1 he Hessian lty goes in waves or
cycles. This cycle wasvat a high
mark in 1913, when damase was se
rious in this state. The damace in
1916r 1917, 1918 and 1919 was un
important, the fly reaching the low
est pouit of the cycle last fall, and
it is now on the increase.

Lincoln. Feb. 12. (Special Tele-
Their escapeJgram.) 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.
