/ proceedings by the executive in such
matters. without mentioning any
specific instance or any race

laid down in the Nebraska platform
requiring notice to defendants and
hearing by the court; requiring that
| injunction trials shall be conducted by
some judge other than the author of

of great emergency. but requiring that
a time limit be fixed and providing for
| notice and hearing on the second pre-
