One of the speakers at the recent
meeting of Nebraska democratic editors
declared that the principal campaign
expenses of democratic candidates con-
sist of money spent for booze. This is
an arraignment that should be indig-
nantly resented not only by democratic
officer seekers, but also by democratic
voters to whose favor they appeal. In
all the sworn statements Of campaign
expenditures filed by democratic candi-
dates we have seen no items credited to
booze, but, like the travelling mans ex-
pense account, it may be there just the
same.

the rate of interest required from the

pay a higher rate of interest on their
warrants than the state pays on state
warrants.
