Nebraska are for him because Perish
ing knows the needs of a distinctly
commercial state. His grasp of in
dustrial conditions and understand
ing of business problems commend
him to the business man. His ut
terances in appreciation of the la
boring mans part in war and in
peace make him strong with labor.
His experience as AN executive of
the Moros and the A. E. F. is con-
vincing as to his ability.
Advocates Virile Americanism.
General Pershing believes in con-
stitutional government and virile
Americanism. He believes no class,
color or creed should be discrimi-
mated against. We feel confident
that General Pershing will enter the
Chicago convention with following
SO substantial, so loyal and signifi-
cant in its nature that he will be
nominated.
mo man will have majority
when the Chicago convention opens,
but if the people of Nebraska, give
Pershing an overwhelming majority
he will possess such strength that
his nomination will be inevitable. 1t
is up to the people of Nebraska to
say whether they want their son in
the White House.
There is just one final word to
friends of General lPershing. Go to
the polls. and stay thefe until the
votes have been cast See that the
friends of General Pershing vote.
Let's astound the nation at, the size
of Pershing's majority. "A true ex-

the nation that cannot be ignored.

"A definite trend toward General

that his lead over Hiram Johnson

LEAGUE AGREES
INFORMALLY TO
TAKE MANDATE
Washington Is Informed Pre-
miers Agree to Assume
American Mandate
Decision important.

Washington, April 19.-The coun-
Gil of the league of nations has
agreed to informally, according to
information reaching Washington,
that it canot assume the mandate
for Armenia. as was suggested by
the council of premiers in Paris. I'm
portance is attached by officials to
the decision since all almost es-
sential preliminary TO a discussion
of Turkish readjustments by the
San Reno conference will be defi-
milton of the conferences attitude
toward Armenia.
The fatt that it does not control
military forces and other machinery
necessary to the administration of
a state is understood to have been
the basic reason for the decision
of the premiers. The council will
suggest, however. officials here be-
lieve, Armenia should be placed in
the category of New States to be
controlled indirectly by the league
such as former German colonies
and that some neutral state be de-
signed as mandatory.

TRADE BODY NOT
TO Get REPORTS
COAL COSTS
Supreme Court Declares Pow
ers Sought by Trade Com
mission Beyond Power
Of Congress.

Washington, April 10. - The su-
preme court of the District of Co
lumbia ruled today that the federal
trade commission was without au-
thority to enforce its order requiring
monthly reports of production costs
from coal mine companies and ether
industries.
In granting application OF the
Maynard Coal company of Ken
lucky and Ohio for an injunction to
restrain the commission from pro-
ceeding to collect penalty of $100
a day for every day of failure to re-
port, Justice Bailey declared that the
powers the commission sought were
vast and unprecedented" and be-
yond the province of congress to
convey. The courts decision affects
virtually every mining and manu-
featuring company in the country, it
wa ssaid tonight, by corporation
lawyers.
Justice Bailey held that if the busi-
ness OF the concern from which
product cost reports were demanded
was entirely i'll interstate commerce,
the committees claim of authority
migfe be valid, but that if the May
nard case the commission obviously
was demanding information from
company whise business was both
intra-state and interstate.
]. S. Foster, general counsel for
the National Coal association de-
clared in statement that the de-
eision was far reaching.
4f the contention of the commits
sion had been sustained" he said,
ut would necessarily follow that the
commission had the right to require
not only such detailed reports of
cost of production which ship any
portion of fhe products or articles
in which they deal in interstate com
merce and would force all such COM
panies to report in detail every item
OF cost and profit as we'll as their
