Governor.



LINCOLN, Feb. 8.-(Special )-While be-
lieving that the technical objection to call
Ing a special election to vote on the ques-
ton OF saloons would not have been upheld
, by the courts, those who have the matter
In charge started out today TO secure a
new petition and after each PERSONS name
there will be written. Lincoln. Neb. together
with his street address. The absence OF the
words Lincoln, Neb., Is the reason advanced
by the city clerk for not calling the cleo
tion.
1t is said by those in charge of the petit
tions that they will easily secure at least
1900 names, which. under the ruling OF the
city clerk will be more than enough slgners
70 insure the calling OF the election.
Even some Of the advocates Of no saloons
have criticised the city clerk for his ruling
in the matter

little there is has been saved for the menu
bers OF the association. Mayor Love de-
llvered the, address OF. welcome this after
noon. Governor Shallenberger will speak

touch with the affairs of state, going Out
on speaking dates solely when the affair
is an affair of state such as welcoming
some distinguished visitor or when 1t be.
came necessary for the dignity of thu
