option into the republican state platform
over the objection Of real republicans, who
are opposed to prohibition, have indicated
their real object at last. They wanted tho
republican party to become the prohibit
ton party of Nebraska so they could get
their hands into the treasury. When the
committee was named by real republicans
IL was usually hard work for takers to
get in and get the money, 50 the work
ing" prohibitonlsts forced county option
through the convention 80 they might have
a grip on the strong box of the committee
All OF which Is borne out by the fact
that every Of the prohibition bunch
which has called to pay his respects to
Chairman Husenetter has come with his
palms up asking for money for the
cause" Not one according to the chair
man, has come to offer his services, but
each one has asked for money.
This idea Of turning the hard-ea
money Of real republicans and candidates
over to prohibition workers who have
placed the republican party in its embsr-
RAISING position does not suit Chairman
Husenetter at all and ne resents il. The
chairman believes as these people have
forced the republican party to stand for
county option and have made 1t the only
issue in Nebraska this year, it is their
duty to bear the brunt of the fight and de-
fend the issue they have raised.
One member of the prohibition outfit,
after the chairman had agreed to furnish
speakers for big meeting. actually
wanted the state committee to pay for
the hall in which the meeting 10 TO be held.
others of the cult have sent in letters
suggesting where the money Of he commit
tee could be placed with a certain pro-
hibltionst for good results. Another sal
Rried prohibitionist suggested to the chair
man the ACCESSIBILITY of hiring another
good worker I'm tho cause" to look after
certain affairs connected with the election
at an expense of several hundred dollars.
On the heels Of all this, after assisting
In forcing the republican party to defend
prohibition, the Lincoln Evening News has
come out saying that county option will
not cut qquite so much ice in the gubeg-
Material race later as 1t does now. The
News suggests that the county option fight
be settled in the legislative districts.
1t is not unlikely that the state chair
man will issue within a day or two a state
ment setting out mis- opinion of the way
the county neutrality-suspicious. are
doing.

Nebraska's Conservation commission has
proven good thing for the Burlington
railroad II 1t has done nothing else. 1t

20 get around a lot where otherwise he
might have had to stay at home or the

priated $1,000 to pay the necessary ex-
