Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1. (Special)—Omaha life insurance companies are "riding" the governor because none of the Nebraska companies were given a chance to write a blanket group insurance policy for the 1,700 men in the Nebraska national guard. The governor told them when they protested that he knew nothing of it and that if General Paul was interested in pushing the proposition, it was as a private citizen. Now the companies come forward with printed matter sent to guardsmen which shows that the adjutant general signed as such and used state stationery to boost it. General Paul says that he was under the impression that only New York companies could write guardsmen group insurance.
