Stoecker Letter
To Legislators Is
Insult, Says Dyball
Statement Accusing Omaha
Representatives Opposed to
Muny Light Bill as I'm
American Is Scored.

George B. Dyball. member OF the
Douglas county delegation in the
lower branch of the legislature, does
not conceal his feelings over printed
statements addressed by w. I.
Stoecker to the legislators, on the
subject of House Roll No. I. which
refers TO municipal electric light
and power plant for Omaha.
The text of the Stoecker state
ment may be properly interpreted
to mean that amy legislator who
honestly opposes House Roll No. l
is not a good American citizen" "
said Mr.. Dyball.
"Will you please see that these
opponents are transformed into
American citizens that favor self
determination" Mr.. Stoecker stated
in his circular letters.
Enters Protest.
II maintain that Mr.. Stoecker's
statenrent-.is an insult to the entire
Nebraska legislature. | am opposed
to House Roll No. | because of
honest convictions and | consider
myself as good American citizen"
Mr.. Dyball added. Il also wish to
state that at least two-thirds of the
members of the Douglas county
house delegation are likewise = op-
posed to this bill"
Mr.. Dyball entered vigorous pro-
test last Thursday afternoon before
the house committee on towns and
cities, against Mr.. Stoecker being
heard before the committee. The
hearing was postponed to next Tues
day afternoon when Mr.. Stoecker, it
is understood, will make an attempt
to be heard. Mr.. Stoecker has made
several recent visits to the office of
R. B. Howell. general manager of
the Metropolitan Water board, Mr..
Howell being the chief proponsnt
of the bill.
His Statement.
Mr.. Stoecker's statement TO the
legislators follows:
viii you please help grant the privilege
to the people of Omaha to exercise the
right of self-determination, such as was
the privilege and right that was enjoyed
by the elector that voted for you. The
people that voted for you determined that
you should be their representative.
Self-determination is the inherited right,
handed down to us from our forefa hers.
and should be kept sacred by all that live
under the American flag.
The citizens of Omaha come before you
with the plea to get chance to deter
mine at a regular city election the ques-
tion whether or not they desire the cxten-
sion of their light plant that might serve
them with the current for public and
domestic use.
There are few members in our Doug
las county delegation that oppose House
Roll No. I, and many of our citizens infer
that these are not possessed of real Ameri-
can spirit that prompts sefdetermination.
Will you please see that these oppon-
ents are transformed into American ctti-
zens that favor self-determination.
Members OF the Douglas county
delegation aver that the matter will
be brought before the entire house
during the coming week, as some
feel that this reflection on their
Americanism should not go unchal-
lenged.

the Importance of the Colby mis-

South Americas trade and friend
ship are OF the utmost importance
to the United States. Is it the nat
ural outlet for our surplus material
and manufactures. The day has
passed when America was sufficient
unto itself. We can no longer be a
hermit nation. Because of our i'm
proved agricultural methods and ma
chinery we produce more farm pro-
ducts than we can, consume. Be-
cause of our superiority i'll machin-
cry and the intelligence of our
labor, we produce much more manu-
factured material than we need our
selves. Consequently it is neces-
sary for us to export our surplus.
And South America is our best. most
natural and most favorable market.
South America An Importer.
During the war we had an excel
lent opportunity to obtain control
OF this market, Economic condi-
tions were so paralyzed in Europe
that it was impossible for Europe to
supply South America She her
self was an importer rather than
an exporter. Consequently South
Americans were dependent on us.
Even now We are in a much better
position both economically and
financially to meet their needs than
any other country. Europe was so
badly crippled by the war that it
will be several years before it is
back to normal. We have had,
