as
to Rohrer
Omahan Recommended for
Nebraska Prohibition Direc-
tor by Senators Norris
and Howell.
Acceptance Is Undecided
BY P. c. POWELL.


Washington Correspondent The Omaha Bee
Washington. March 1s.-Elmer E.
Thomas Is slated to be Nebraska's
new federal prohibition director. SEN
ator George w. Norris and Senator
r. B. Howell today sent a letter to
Federal Prohibition Director Haynes,
recommending appointment of Thomas
to take L. s. Rohrer's place.
Haynes could not be located tonight,
on the recommendation OF the two
United States senators. The decision
to recommend Thomas was made AZ
soon as they verified a report that
Rohrer had been asked TO resign.
Announcement of their decision fol-
lowed a short conference between the
two men.
I'VE did 1t because there is nc
doubt Thomas is honest and sincere
and has spent a great portion Of. his
time in prohibition affairs in Omaha .
Norris said. II understand he's a
democrat. We took no cognizance of
politics in the appointment"
Howell made no comment. 1t was
only three weeks ago that Thomas
came TO Washington and started the
row that ended in Rohrer being
forced to resign. Thomas was a can
didate for state sheriff at the time
Bryan was elected governor of Ne
braska- The governor turned Thomas
down, saying he was Temperament
tally unfit for the position.
The recommendation was made TO
Haynes without consulting Thomas.
Neither Of the senator's know whether
Thomas viii accept the appointment.
No member OF the Nebraska dele
cation in the lower house was con-
suited by either senator. Congress
men are known to favor appointment
|os James Nickerson.
Elmer Thomas. newly recommended
Nebraska prohibition director. was
not in a specific mood last night.
He would give no hint one way or
the other in the matter OF his ac-
ceptance.
he said. Naturally. viii have TO
confer with some of my friends It
comes as a surprise.
"A number of dry workers were
in some. sort OF a conference yester-
day to propose successor to Z. s.
Rohrer.
ITO tell the truth, had hopes
that J. Dean Ringer or Robert Samar-
dick would have been given the po-
sition. For some time We were after
Ringer to try for IT, but he always
refused.
I'VE viii confer today over this
sudden move at Washington before
give any definite acceptance state
ment."
