One of the political surprises of the

A NEW FIGURE UPON NEBRAS-
KA'S POLITICAL HORIZON
by J r. LOWELL

When Mr.. ~Jurgensen was down
with the influenza just prior to the
opening of the legislature, his phys
ician ordered him to a hospital. Just
as soon as he was able to be out Of
bed, however, the patient would not
"stay put" The doctor or the nurses
usually had to make a tour of the
rooms on his floor in order to find
him. Being of an extremely sociable
nature and of an inquiring turn of
mind as well, he was on friendly
terms and had visited with most of
the other patients in the hospital
within a few days.
Another incident reflecting his
intensely human" nature occurred
when in company with the man of
letters already mentioned he visited
recently with parnets (now living at
Madison). The lieutenant governor
stopped at a Madison meat market
anu PuASldSeu a SSHSlouo supply u
steak. After the usual demonstra-
ton Of family affection. the son,
"shooed" his mother out of the kitchen
and proceeded to prepare supper him
self. The professor remembers that
visit in particular because Jurgensen
"roped him in" to dry the dishes
while he (Jurgensen) washed them.
The first thing Mr.. Jurgensen thinks
of when returning to Lincoln from
even an over-night's absence is to call
home. He has four good reasons.

GAS LAMPS END.
DUE TH|SYEAR

The program of the District
electrical department for the
replacement of gas lamps with
electric lamps throughout the
city, inaugurated in 1927, is ex-
pected to be completed by Janu-
ary l, 1884, according to the an
nual report of the department
submitted to the District Com
missioners today.
The project is now 80 per cent
completed, the report says.
One hundred per cent of the
low candlepower lamps IN the
business areas, along arterial
highways and main thorough
fares have been replaced with
high power candle lamps, and in
the suburban areas, not more
than 10 per cent of the low
candle power lamps have been
replaced, the report explained.
This program, which also was be-
gun in 1927, is being continued.
The number of police patrol
boxes has been increased by three
during the year, while 68 tele-
phone lines were added to the
municipal system during the same
period.

NUD|STS' PLEA
FOR ISLAND
H|TSSNAG
U. S. Rules Forbid Such Use of
Land in Potomac; Besides,
It's Mosquito Heaven

DR.. Alice M. Caporn, leader Of
Washington's nudist cult, over.
looked two important facts when
she asked the District Commis.
sioners to turn Roosevelt Island,
formerly Analostan Island, into a
public solarium for undraped
seekers of "the larger life"
She suggested Washington fol.
low the lead of Boston, which she
dubbed "the Athens of America"
and establish a municipal nudist
park. She proposed that all but
few shade trees be felled on the
island, vast lawns be made, and
that it be divided into five sec.
tions to permit segregated sun
bathing.
It's Not Our Island
Roosevelt Island, in the first
place, is not under the control OF
the District. It was presented to
the Office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks last year by the
Roosevelt Memorial Association
and with the transfer of that Of.
flee in August to the Office OF
National Parks, Buildings and
Reservations, is now under the
jurisdiction of the Interior De-
partment.
Second. in giving the island to
the Government the association
stipulated it is to remain in it's
present state of wilderness.
Would Violate Rules
Both these objections to DR..
Caporn's plan were suggested to-
day by Arno B. Cammerer, direc-
tor of the national parks office,
who said:
''It would be violation Of
long g-standing regulation of this
office to turn Roosevelt Island,
or any part of it, over to mud.
lists. We cannot restrict any
land under our control, except
in national forests, to Organiza-
tiOns or to individuals.
A third objection to DR.. Ca.
porn's plan, not mentioned by Mr..
Cammerer, is that Roosevelt Island
is bounded by the most prolific
mosquito breeding marshes in or
near Washington.

COUNTY VOTERS
BALLOT TODAY
ON REPEAL
Wet Victory by Big Majority
Assured, Montgomery
Leaders Assert

A heavy vote is expected today
in the special election to be held
in Montgomery county on the
question of repeating the county
dry laws which followed enact
ment of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
County leaders predicted that
the vets would carry the election
by an overwhelming majority. In
fact, the only point on which
there seemed to be difference
of opinion was on just how large
the margin would be.
5-to-1 Victory Seen
Some forecasters placed the ma
jority as high as to l, while the
more cautious ones said that a
3-to-1 margin would be the high
est possible.
Most observers seemed to be-
lieve that the wet vote would be
offset somewhat by dry votes cast
in the arid areas of Takoma Park,
Poolesville and Damascus.
Townsend Howes, publisher of
the Montgomery Sentinel, believes
that the repealists will win by a
margin of either 3 to 2, or posi-
bly,, 2 to- 1, and that any figure
above that will be a considerable
surprise. Howes said:
eff the vets can muster their
estimated strength in all of the
election districts, they will be
able to offset the dry votes that
are bound to come from the
Poolesville and Damascus dis
tricts."
Drys Held Weak
Bryne Austin, clerk of the cleo
ton board, though declining to
prophesy for the entire county
claims that:
Undoubtedly the dry forces
will poll a big vote in TakOma
Park. Wet votes may be suffi-
cient to carry the district, how
ever, if they can pile up large
enough majOrities in the fourth
and fifth precincts"
Many of the staunchest drys
seem to believe that in this, the
first direct prohibition vote in
Montgomery county since 1865,
the liquor advocates are bound to
triumph.
One county official, always a
dry, said that although he had
been a dry since early youth, he
believed that repeal would win
because the young people will
put it over"

BUILDERS TOLD
To SPEED Up
BY International News Service

The NRA warned the construc-
ton industry today that unless it
revised all former procedure it
could not expect to dc any new
construction until 1887 or 1898.
The warning was given at the
public hearing on a master code
for the industry by Roy Wenglik,
member of the NRA economic and
statistical board.
Wenglik exhibited a chart show
ing how construction, especially
residential, always Jagged from
two to three years and some times
five years behind periods when
vacancies presented a major prob
lem to owners. He said that pre-
vious procedure, now employed,
would result in "absolutely no new
residential construction" for at
least four or five years.
He advised construction men to
put into their master code pro-
visions which would insure stabili-
zation of labor and material costs
at points where new construction
could be undertaken.
