PAGE FOUR PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOUBNAL Complete List of Nominees for the Unicameral Eighty-six Will Seek Seats in the State's First One-House Legislature. Lincoln, Neb., April 15. Exper ienced legislators will occupy at least IS of the 4 3 seats in Nebraska's first unicameral legislature when it convenes next January. Both nominees in IS of the dis tricts were members of the last bi cameral legislature or sat in previous Nebraska law-making bodies. Of 71 known nominees for the S6 places on the November general election bal lot, 51 were experienced in law-making. In only two districts Second and the Forty-first were new faces assured. I Some of the races were exception ally close and the mail vote may hump some third place candidates up ahead of some who held second place precariously. One instance of that kind was in the Fourteenth district where W. II. O'llara of Laurel, speaker of the last two house of representatives, had only 27 votes to the good over Rev. Martin Schroeder of Bloomfield. State Senator John I. Reynolds led both by about live hundred votes for first place. In eight districts six in Omaha ; and the Twenty-ninth and Thirty fourth returns lagged and the nom inees were not yet decided. Of the ol who had legislative ex perience, 32 were democrats and 19 republicans. Nominees Listed. Nominees: First Charles A. Dafoe of seh (XX) and Charles Vogt Tecum of Lib- erty (X).

" Supreme Court Molds Old 3.2 Beer Law Valid Question Raised on Appeal from Cass County cf Case of State of Ne braska vs. George Wilson. The state supreme court on Thurs day announced their decision in the case of the State of Nebraska vs. George Wilson, charged with selling beer without the proper license from the village of Elmwood, holding that the old law covering the manufac ture, sale and licensing of 3.2 beer, enacted by the legislature in 1933, was valid. The case originated in Cass coun ty where on August 11, 1934, agents made purchase of two bottles of the 3.2 beer from the restaurant of Mr. Wilson in Elmwood and he being at that time without the proper license to sell the same. The case was tried here before a jury in November term of the dis trict court and on December 13, 1934, Mr. Wilson was found guilty and later fined $500 and costs. The court in their findings Thursday held that the fine imposed was excessive as to the offense and reduced the same to $200. The attorneys for Mr. Wilson in appealing contended that if the 3.2 beer was intoxicating that it was in violation of the then prohibition amendment to the state constitution, which, however has since been re pealed. It was also contended that if the beverage was not intoxicating that a license was not necessary to permit its sale. HURLED FROII CAR, UNHURT Falls City, Neb.
