FRANK BROWN
URGES WILSON.
SAYS HE. is BEST ABLE TO sOPE
WITH ROOSEVELT.

Believing as I do that the recent
primaries in Illinois and Pennsylvania
Indicate that Colonel Roosevelt will
be the nominee of the Republican par
ty for President, call upon the DEM
ocrats Of the State TO lay aside per-
sonal preference and get behind Gov
ernor Wilson, the candidate in my
opinion who can more easily meet
Roosevelt on the hastings"
This advice was offered to- the DEM
ocratic party by former Governor
Frank Brown Monday night He reit-
Grated that he would personally d.
satisfied with any OF the four candi-
dates prominently mentioned.
II have been made a Wilson sup
porter by the recent Roosevelt VIC
tories" the former Governor continu-
ed. 1--WE know what kind OF cam
paign Roosevelt will conduct II nomi-
mated, which # believe he will b.. He
will visit every section OF the country
and almost every hamlet. He will
appeal To the prejudiceS OF the peo-
ME. seeking to array the masses
against the classes.
"T take ~ that the Democratic par
ty wants to win. I believe that there
m mo candidate before the voters who
would not honestly say that victory
was the first consideration and per-
eonal advantage the second To ~
certain Of victory we must have can
Ilidate who IT, not only mentally able
fo compete with Roosevelt on the
stump, but one who has the physical
vigor to do 90 and who f. willing to
make such campaign. Governor
Wilson has demonstrated that ne Dotn
can and will make such campaign
He will appeal to the reason OF the
voters and, in a moments notice,
answer logically and convlnclngy
any charge Roosevelt may make.
iii therefore call upon the voters or
my party to turn a deaf ear TO the
orders of advice Of party leaders.
They have not shown IT. the past that
they are safe guides. They have led
our party into a ditch. If regardless
Oh personal preference the Democrats
Of this State stop and ask themselves
who will make the most available
candidate, # am sure they will support
Governor Wilson.
Take it from me" the eX-GoVer-
nor concluded with emphasis, with
Governor Wilson as the candidate for
President and strong running mate,
the Democratic party will sweep this
country. Maryland will be redeemed
with an old-fashioned majority. Frank
Brown is not bad political prophet,
as many doubtless remember, and !
make this prediction with I'll sin
cerity."

Slight Amendments to Local Option
Bill.

lin order to clear up some points
concerning the local option bill about
which many people were honestly mis-
taken the Anti Saloon League has de-
cided upon two amendments, as fol-
lows:
I'D "a provision in explicit words
to the effect that the measure shall
not be construed to prevent the sale
Of liquor at wholesale by manufactur-
ers of their own products for delivery
outside Of the anti-saloon territory In
which such factories are located.
cd a provision that 1T shall not De
construed to interfere with the deliy-
cry of liquor which was not sold in
violation of the act to an individual
for the personal use Of himself, his
family, or his bona fide guests.
The League Headquarters Commit
tee makes the following statement con-
corning these amendments:
In view Of the fact that the local
option bill is not intended to prohibit
either of these things and in the judg-
men Of the League would not be con
strued to do so, the League sees no
reason why it should not % declare
in plain words and take these talking
points away from the opposition.
at any time during the last three
Legislatures the League would have
agreed to these or any other reason
able amendments not inconsistent
with the spirit and intention OF the
measure if there had been an honest
proposition on the part Of those con
trolling the Legislature to actually
pass the bill if % amended But a.
there was no such proposition in good
faith, and any change during the
campaign might have released some
members pledged to vote for the bill
al it stood, the League had no choice
save to 20 straight ahead and at least
make sentiment and expose the in
sincerity Of the opposition
Having thus cleared up the only
ground for honest doubt, and the
liquor men having proved by their i'm
sincerity that material amendment
weakens rather than strengthens the
bills chances OF passage, the League
announces that the politicians must
decide whether they will pass the 10
cal option bill in 1914 or face a fight
for prohibition Constitutional
amendment i'm 1916.

The character Of the men in the offices OF this

these officers and directors stand at the top among
the reliable bankers and business men Of Nebraska

among our farmers. The lands of the
Nebraska and other western farmers
will be highly developed and improve
ments OF a high order will be made
everywhere. When the farmer can Sc
cure money to buy machinery and make
other improvements there Is rapid and
healthy growth among the rural COM
munities. This has been history all over
the country. So. In this new company
many of the men who are interested in
farms and farmers see the opportunity
that has been awaited for years-the
chance for farmers and others to get
loans at reasonable figures and to,
thereby, make the progress that the
west needs, and that the west must
make within the next few years.
II was as a result of this feeling for
a strong mortgage loan company that
the Bankers Mortgage Loan company,
with an authorized capital Of 100000,
was organized, with an object OF max

Few investors in farm mortgages
have opportunity or inclination to loan

Bankers Of Nebraska and the west realize the
immense value Of this new loan company, for as
President Mcpherson terseiy put 1t, Capital is
needed to develop the resources of the state" The
Nebraska farmer often has need for money-need
for It In a hurry-and he wants to go to the place
where he can get 1t without any trouble, assured
that the terms will be right and that all he does
will be treated In proper manner. Therefore, the
farmer who wants money can go to the Bankers
Mortgage Loan company, knowing that the men
at the head Of this corporation are the kind with
which he deal and get the fairest kind OF terms
At present II Is very hard to secure loans on
farms throughout the west, owing to the fact that
capital is being employed for other purposes The
new Omaha institution consequently, is said to be
