interests working shoulder TO shoulder

suffrage cause Is invincible and adj

The women OF Nebraska have been
active in the cause of suffrage but

Absolute Prohibition Sentiment Grow

In the meantime sentiment in favor
Of absolute prohibition of the man

is steadily growing stronger and

Men who have been "one the fence"

that they are much better off with

Old Treaties Apply.
However, the legal situation is
somewhat different in the light of the

taken in Connection with article IL,
OF the Prussian American treaty OF

should declare the cargo OF wheat to
