OMAHA, NEB., sept. "a, 1911.
/ had hoped to be able to give you in
this letter the full and correct returns of
the late cons itutional election, but there /
are few of the frontier counties vet to |
hear from, and as vet | cannot give the |
exact result The returns. so far as they !
have come in, show majority of nearly |
one thousand against the new constitu-

disappointed, but what of that? Gods
people can open wide the doors of His

be subjected to the awful Dissertation the
law would institute. Counties and cities
are permitted to lend their aid to internal
Improvements, and capital can continue to
use its mighty influence toward building
up our young State, without being sub
iected to the unnatural and unusual re-
straints the new constitution would inn
pose.

four days, has been very successfully ter
minated. The fine and ample display o
blooded and native stock was really
credit TO the county and State. The nu
merous specimens of fruit, vegetables anC
grain, all of superior quality, are tn
truthful opponents of the capability AM
