cause her to change her plans.

WILSON APPEAL
TO VOTERS HAS
MADE PROBLEM
democrats Hard Pressed fol-
Clear Explanation" Says
Chairman Beach, Look
ing for PreCedents.
From a Staff CORRESPONDENT

Lincoln, Oct. 28-(Specia1.)--
president Wilson's appeal to the
voters to vote the democratic ticket
as patriotic duty they owed the
country" said f. D. Beach, chairman
OF the republican state committee
today, appears to have started
things and democratic candidates
for Office have discovered that there
is a new situation confronting them.
i see that Morehead in an effort
to justify the presidents position,
and in hopes that he will not be
hurt by the statement, rushes into
the daily papers with quotations
from former Presidents Harrison
and Roosevelt along similar lines.
mfr. Morehead follows the usual
line of democratic argument in this
campaignby endeavoring to make
the people believe that these men
when they were president put out
the same kind of stuff that Wilson
has just issued. The facts OF the
matter are that when Mr.. Roosevelt
made the alleged statement. he was
not president of the United States
at all. and when Mr.. Harrison is
sued the statement attributed to him
he was simply private citizen.
Neither OF them called upon the peo-
pie to support them by voting for
their political party candidates.
According to statements already
made public by prominent men in
Washington, democrats are not SO
much afraid OF the president not be-
ing supported by republican con-
grcss as they are that a republican
congress would surely investigate
and disclose the loose methods in
which the present administrations
has handled the enormous sums of
money which the people have so
periodically entrusted to them to
carry on the war activities"

Who VOTED may
ON $3.50 WHEAT?
ASKSSTATE man
Writes to Senator Norris for
Explanation by Democrats
on Two Important Facts
for Farmers.
From a staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Oct 28.-(Special. -
There are two things which to me
seem important in this campaign
which as far as have been able to
determine. have not received very
much publicity writes a we'll
known business man OF Omaha to
Senator George w. Norris and
which was received by the latter
this morning.
First, that when the Gore amend
mcnt, fixing the price OF wheat at
$3.50 per bushel, was up for consid-
Grafton. g. TO % congressman from
nine southern democratic states
voted against the amendment
more than double the number
necessary to defeat the measure. 1t
was lost by only y votes.
The Other is that according to
Washington press dispatches of
July y, 1918, President Wilson, aft
er conference with Secretary OF
Agriculture Houston and others,
made the Tooth Z. NJ. the dead
line" between which and the Rocky
mountains it WAS futile to try to
raise wheat, aud that it should be
discouraged This, too, in face of
the fact that of the 2l,000,000 bush
els OF wheat shipped by the Buring,
Ton system west Of the Missouri
river, 10,250O00 bushels originated
west OF that line--was grown i'll the
prescribed territory

values and credit of, and discour-

Deposit Certificate
Must Be Due Before
Payment, Says Reed

Lincoln, Oct. 2S.-(Special. "A
bank is not required to pay GER
tificate Of deposit until the time ex-
pires for which the deposit was
made, according to an opinion by
Attorney General Reed made in an
swer to an inquiry coming from the
American State bank of Sutherland.
The certificate in controversy was
issued by the Sutherland bank and
was turned in by another bank,
which presented it foy payment and
the former bank refused to pay it
until due. The attorney general
says:
A certificate OF deposit becomes pay
able at the time specified therein. II the
party to whom the certificate had been
issued had declined to surrender the GER
tificate to you at any time before the IL
months upon a tender of the face of the
certificate. or of the face of the certlfi-
Gates plus the interest due TO the time OF
the tender. YOU could not have required
the holder OF the certificate to return
the same, because the holder OF the GER
tificatg had for all intents and purposes
loaned his money to you for that period
of time that he might profit thereby to
the extent of the interest
on the other hand the hank borrow
ing the money for IL months had 4 right
to expect aud believe that the contract
which was made was enforcible and the
institution could not be required to pay
the same until the 12month period had
elapsed. 1t was a mutual contract be
tween the bank and the depositor and
each had these rights respectively. The
fact that the holder of the certificate
transferred the same to another bank has
not in any manner changed the legal
status insofar as the payment OF the Ger
tifiCate is concerned.
II frequently happens as n business
proposition that where bank has issued
a certificate Of deposit and the holder Is
willing to forfeit the interest. that the
bank issuing the certificate pays the face
of the same and thereby saves its instI-
tuition the interest But that IS the max
ing of IL new contract which rests wholly
with and between the parties. which, OF
course, they have a perfect right TO do
