Mrs Dwight w. Morrow of Engle-

underway on FEBRUARY 81, 1888. The
following Decemver a report of 3d.

Association. The report the most
thorough and p~ains-taking over made
on a hospital, failed to substantiate

1914, and pressed many suits under it
In 1918 it ucceeded in further strength
ening the law through the passage
of an amendment prepared by its
legl staff. Branches in other states
used the New York law as a model
which they strove to have embodied in
the statues. In 1919 efforts were
made in Connecticut, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and New Mexico to get the laws
passed.
In 1919, Michigan N. A. A.. G. P.
branches succeeded in getting a civil
rights law passed modelled after that
of New York. Similar efforts were
made the same year in New Mexico,
Rhode Island, Colorado, Pennsylvania,
and Ohio. In 1920 Connecticut
branches continued their fight as did
the branches in Rhode Island. Cases
were won under the California and
Wisconsin civil rights acts. In 1888

w. Metcalfe n mem
bers OF his campaign are engaged
this week in mapping out a state
wide itinerary which will take the
Republican candidate for the NOM
ination for governor into all the
ninety-three counties, of Nebraska
before <he primaries
The former lieutenant governor
plans to begin his tour about June1.
Metcalfe said he has planed the
tour for two particular reasons: First,
he wants as many voters as is posi-
le to hear from him ~peronally what he
stands for in state government and,
second, he believes the state Should
be given an opportunity to know the
man for whom they may vote for gov
ernor.
His campaign associates have been
greatly enthused by favorabl reports
which have come from all sections of
the state following Metcalfe's clear
-cutstand on all important state is
sues as forcefully ct in his platform
81 will continue the campaign as
have begun it." he said. II do not
claim to be a politician and | may
not be doing the smart thing politi-
cally by telling the people in plain
language exactly what I stand for.
az might 'straddle the fence on
some issues just for the sake of max
ing vote, but if that is necessary to
be elected l would rather not be gov
ernor Of Nebraska"
sit is my opinion the people of the
state have a right to know how / stand
on important questions of government
which vitality onc them and ! am
going to tell them"
Without hedging, Metcalfe sets out
in his platform, among other things,
that he stands for:
Reduction in the cost of state gov
eminent Employment of men and wo-
men who are qualified to do the work
for which they are paid. Abolition OF
the pratice of creating jobs for ode
serving politians-"
Repeal of the state prohibition law
If Nebraska should remain dry, the
taxpayers would be loaded with addi-
tional taxes to support a state army OF
prohibition agents. Opposes return
of the old time aloon. Favors SEN
sible regulation Of liquor traffic and
education of the younger generation
on the benefits of temperance.
Single tax to replace property taxes
thus giving definite relief to home and
farm owners, and assuring the col
lection of taxes-something that is
not being done under the present
system.
Preservation and advancement OF
Nebraska's education system by this
new method of taxation.
Complete reorganization of the state
banking department so that local re
ceivers, assisted by local committees
of depositors would liquidate failed
banks After all, it is the depostiors'
money, and they are entitled to know
what happens to it.
Active cooperation with governors
of other agricultural states and the
national government program for the
benefits of all farmers.
Purging the state highway commits
sion to serve over a period Of years
TO work out a comprehensive and
permanent program for u state high
ways.
