during the campaign.
See Hitchcock's Hand.
In certain quarters il is reported
that the tentacles OF the far-reaching
Hitchcock machine have buried
themselves into the Omaha labor
leaders, and an attempt will be made
to force the reaciionary Hitchcock
propaganda on the rank and file OF
the Nonpartisan league.
The league is expected TO endorse
candidates at the convention no mat
ter what action the third party takes.
The day following the convention
there will be free barbecue. when
A. {. Townlcy. national organizer
and former national president, will
speak, as will candidates who receive
the league endorsement.

Auto Dealers
Are Violators
Of License Law
Assistant State Engineer Tells
of Methods Adopted to
Avoid Paying Road
Taxes.

Lincoln, Aug. 22. - (Special.) -
Hundreds OF automobile dealers are
breaking the law relative TO use oil
dealers licenses on stock cars. i,
was charged today by George Leon
ard assistant state engineer in
charge Of the state automobile IL
cense department.
Right here in Lincoln | see half
a dozen cars with dealers licenses on
them parked in front of dance pa
vilions every night" Leonard ssid.
Men don't demonstrate cars at dance
pavilions.
THE trouble is our department
can't enforce this law and it is plain
ly the duty of county officials to see
that dealers using cars for private
purposes pay as much to maintain
roads as the persons to whom they
sell cars.
"The most fragrant violation OF
our auto license law is in the use
of Today licenses allowed by gen.
erous legislature. This was per-
mitted to give purchasers OF new
cars ample time to purchase regular
licenses.
"An auto dealer can print these
licenses, which are pasteboard. and
put them on cars whenever they
please. Many, / am informed, put
these Today licenses on their own
cars when they run out OF dealers
licenses.
There are l,575 auto dealers in
Nebraska who have taken out deal
ers' licenses. 1t would be difficult to
say how many of that number have
taken out private licenses. The coun-
ty treasurers could. if they would,
ascertain very easily. Some dealers
in Omaha take as high as 10 or u
dealers licenses while others take
ont only one or two.
