and adopted providing for vice
president of the county organization
in every precinct In the county.
H. = Carson, superintendent of
the Anti Saloon League In Nebraska,
made plea for money with which TO
finance the campaign in Nebraska
He pointed out that plenty Of money
existed on the side of the brewers
and that the drys should provide
funds with which TO carry IN the
fight. His efforts were rewarded by
subscription Of slightly over s325.
william Jennings Bryan headed the
list with check filled out for an
even 500

ton when the saloon question Is
eliminated we'll all Join together and
will no longer have any special in

ties are relieved of the evil influences
that have hampered all OF them, This
will also be true in Nebraska.
Il am q worker in this cause. and
am as much interested in 1t as you.
Personally, the saloon doesn't bother
me, because I'll not go into 1t, and
don't drink. MY children are III
