Brown and PrOhsoItion.
THE people of Nebraska will have to
fight over the prohibition question again
this fall" said a Lincoln politician this
afternoon, and the fight can be traced
back to Norris Browns ambition to be
United States senator at any cost. Whether
Brown himself is a believer in prohibition
l do not know, though l believe from what
l have seen OF him he wouldn't live long
in community which was absolutely dry,
but that makes no difference. Tom Oar
nell. the Lancaster prohibitlonist, has been
a constant caller at the Office of the at
torney general ever since the campaign
opened and everybody knows it was Oar
nells work that faxed the resolution
through the Epworth assembly denouncng
/ Edward Rosewater.
| TT was in the interest of Brown that
the question OF prohibition came up and
he and his friends have made it an Issue
| in the campaign this fall by getting the
/ Epworth assembly TO go on record as 1t
did.
"Of course, the fellows who are boosting
| for Brown don't care anything about pro-
I hibition. They have merely used those
persons who are really in favor of state
prohibition law TO boost Brown. They
have succeeded, however, in raising the
prohibition question and there is not the
least doubt that democratic and repub-
lican candidates for the legislature alike
will be questioned on this matter by the
Anti-Saloon league.
