NEvILLE'S SELF
IMPOSED TITLE
Executive Sends Out Letter
With State Seal, Calling
Attention to "War Gov
ernor's Deeds"

In his desperate effort to gain re-
election, Governor Neville not only
ascribes to himself the designation
of "Nebraska's war governor" but
he goes. further by branding all OPP
posing his candidacy, as being not in
sympathy with our country's cause.
This latest outbreak OF the gov
ernor appears in the form of letters
addressed to members of the Home
Guard companies of Nebraska. the
appeal being on letter heads or the
executive offices, bearing the seaFof
the state in colors. The letters have
been characterized by some OF the
recipients as the most audacious po-
litical act of any governor this state
has ever had.
In effect. Neville challenges the
patriotism of all who refuse to sup
port him.
He makes the solemn declara-
ticn that he is an asset to the gov
e-nnent, otherwise he would not
seek reelection, but would enter
active military service.
The casual political observer rises
TO a point Of privilege to inquire just
at what time and place did the
governor determine that he was an
asset" to the government. II
must have been after the Lucky
Seventh ceased to function, the
observer remarked.
