Mr.. Shallenberger's speech delivered at
the Oliver theater last night has occa-
stoned considerable comment in Lincoln
today and II is the opinion OF those who
4 heard him, If he is delivering the same
/ speech all over the state, he is certainly
conducting q campaign Of misrepresenta-
ton. one who is familiar with the SUBJ
jects discussed by the demo-pop candidate
said
! MIR. Shallenberger is either not familiar
with the subject he is discussing or he is
deliberately misrepresenting the facts. In
quoting the United States supreme court
/ opinion on the maximum freight rate law
/ he did not tell that the supreme court Of
the state had declared unconstitutional the
State Board of Transportation, which the
| United States supreme court held was the
proper body to enforce that law.
! HE said the floating debt Of the state
! is increasing, when he knows or should
know, it is being decreased. and Just re-
Gently State Treasurer Mortensen issued an
official statement showing how much it had
| been decreased. He argued at length that
| the state needed no new laws, which is in
direct conflict with the democratic plat
form. He denounced the State Board of
Assessment for the assessment of the
property of the state, but he passed over
the increase made by republican boards, in
the assessment Of railroad property. He
told good stories and his speech wac pleas
ing, but there was an absence of facts"
