Nebraska Electors Will Settle
Issue of Statewide Prohibi-
ton at Polls in November.
SALOON FOES EXPECTING
SPLENDID ORGANIZATION
Eighty-two Counties Already
Worked; Vets, Too, Are
Active, But Are Confined to
Old Tactics; Farmers Line
Up With Drys.

Lincoln. Neb., July 1s.-This State
Is in the midst Of campaign on the
question of Statewide prohibition
The electors will go to the polls in
November and vote on an amend
ment putting the liquor traffic out of
business. Should the amendment be
adopted. as now seems probable. it
will go into effect May /. 1917. There
are certain exceptions which provide
for the proper sale of liquor for medi-
cinal, mechanical and sacramento
uses.
or course, II Nebraska goes dry 1t
will be up to the Legislature to enact
a measure providing for enforcing
prohibition. and to have a Governor
back OF the law enforcement are In
the plans of Nebraska drys, whose
campaign is being led by the Anti
Saloon League.
The liquor Interest of Nebraska,
aided, naturally. by the liquor inter-
ests OF all America, are putting up a
bitter fight against prohibition. They
paying the States expenses through
the license fees
There Ia another side. of course,
which the drys are not slow to see
and tell about The liquor people of
this State paid s1.s73.o30 into the In
ternal revenue fund of the United
States in 1913. They paid sl.27o.s 1913
into the town and city treasures of
the State for the privilege of doing
business. That makes total OF
s3,243s2S which the drinkers had to
pay, per capita of $2.so. to say moth
ing Of the immense drink bill itself.
Especially are the farmers inter
ested in bringing about prohibition
Nearly half the saloons are in coun-
try towns where most of the patrons
are farmers. Farmer drinkers pay
almost half the States drinking bill,
but get very little out of the tax
money. which goes into the school
fund Of the municipalities licensing
the saloons. The same thing is true
of fines for offenses growing out OF
the use Of liquor. The farmer is
called upon to paw his share of taxes
caused by the results of the liquor
traffic. but gets nothing in return
except a headache.

SCHUCK PRAISES
JUDGE ROBINSON
Former Progressive Candidate
for Congress Tells Why
Robinson Should Win.

WHEELING, May 1S.-The Hon
orable Charles j. Schuck. former Pro-
gressive candidate for congressman
atlarge in this state. and who is to
devote considerable time before the
primary to the interests Of Judge
Ira q. Robinson, In his candidacy for
the gubernatorial nomination. before
leaving on tour OF the eastern sec
tion OF the state. said anent Judge
Roblnson's candidacy: There are
many reasons why the voters Of our
state should support the Judge at the
primaries, June s.
I'm the first place. every one who
is acquainted with Judge Robinson,
be be friend or foe, knows him to be
an honorable, upright, worthy citizen
Of our state: and every lawyer knows
him to be one who Is standing In the
very forefront OF his chosen profess
sion.
I'm the second place. his public rec
ord from prosecutor OF Taylor coun-
| ty to judge OF the supreme court OF
appeals has conclusively shown that
he Is man Of integrity, honesty Of
purpose, marked ability, and one who
In the language Of great former
West Virginia. carries his sover-
eighty under his own hat tbs rec
ord on the bench will always stand
out as q monument. showing pro-
found depth Of thought and analysis
in the decisions rendered by him. as
well as being classic in the English
4 a N On H.
also demonstrates beyond perad-
venture Of doubt that he has never
been another mans man and that he
has at all times followed the honest
dictates OF his judgment and con-
science. This fact SO successfully re-
flutes the cry we hear In some quar-
tiers that II elected governor he. will
be controlled by certain men and fac
tons, that the cry will fall on deaf
ears, so far as the great mass OF Re-
publican voters IN our state is con-
cerned.
Again. besides being noted law
yer and Judge, he Is q man among
men; keenly alert at all times to the
interests Of his fellow-men and citi-
zens he is ever ready and willing to
do those things that make for a bet
ter citizenship. home and community;
and high and low. rich or poor, can,
always rest assured or enlisting his
support in those matters that tend to
help the Individual and to elevate our
state to still higher and better
standing. Having been born and
raised in the state. and faithfully
served 1t In different capacities, he
knows and understands It's needs,
wants and resources, and so would
give us d business administration
that would reflect credit upon the
state. and honor upon himself and
party.
For these reasons then, and many
others that could be given II time and
space permitted, am for his nom
nation and feel that all Republicans
and former Progressives can stand
together and present q solid front
with Judge Robinson and his, record
as o platform that will sweep the
state"
In conclusion Mr.. Schuck said that
from reports received from the yari-
Gus sections of the state, there was
to HIS mind no question OF Judge
Robinson's nomination, and with him
leading next fall. the election OF the
whole Republican state ticket y Us.

WOULD PROTECT THE BUYER.
Senator Smiths Amendment to the
Cotton Futures Section.

washington, May 10.-Senator f..
ID. Smith yesterday introduced an
amendment to the Lever cotton ru-
lures section Of the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, providing that no tax
shall be levied on contracts in which
a basis grade is specified, provided
this basis grade shall be one Of the
standard grades established by the
Federal govern ment, and provided
also that the buyer shall have the
right, IN case OF not being able to
reach an agreement with the seller if
another grade is rendered in pay
ment, to demand the grade contracted
Tor at the stipulated price.
"Of course" said Senator Smith, in
commenting on his amendment, if
buyer and seller shall agree upon the
grade and the resulting differences in
price other than the grade enumerat-
ed in the contract, there is nothing in
the provisions Of the bill as propose
to amend it which will prevent them
from trading as they see fit The
difficulty which the measure does
obviate Is the practice that hereto
fore put the buyer at the mercy Of
the seller"

In all sections OF the country
