Prices in Nebraska

Governor Charles w. Bryan today
indicated that at the proper time
the Democratic party will call upon
the some 10000, 900 motorists of the
United States to back the Davis
Bryan ticket on the strength of
the latter's single handed success in

Nebraska from % to Is cents per
gallon.
So absorbed is Governor BRYAN
in his vigorous fight to wipe out
profiteering In gasoline in his State
and ultimately in the nation that
the nominee for the Vice Presidency
laughingly admitted at the Hotel
Lafayette today that his name
doubtless will be linked with fifteen
cent gas just as Marshall's was
with a nickel cigar.
II will not stand undue profit in
gasoline" Governor Bryan stated
today. with the wholesale gaso-
line market between nine and ten
cents per gallon, fifteen cents retail
affords a generous profit and
guarantee that under these condi-
tions the residents Of my State. will
not be mulcted for more.
sale of gasoline in Nebraska
direct to the public has resulted in
it's dropping to sixteen cents, within
one cent of what we are selling it
for ourselves and If it hasn't dropped
this cent by the time / get home
