State 1s Given Black Eye, Claim Gwff Charges Bryan Places PolBtcs Above Respect for Morals. Lincoln, April I.—Charles draff of * Bancroft, democratic candidate for governor, takes vigorous exceptions to Governor Bryan’s lack of Interest when T. L. Johnson of Chicago, rep m resenting tho legislative committee of the Outdoor Showmen of America and Canada, called at the state house S in the interest of elimination of In* 3 decent and Immoral shows. As a metnber of the executive board of the state fair association, and as president lu 1S22 and 1923, ~ Graff stated that he has labored In* '* cessantly for cleaner ahd better out s door amusements, not only at state ( and county fairs, but throughout the L state. *'I notice Mr. Johnson has ad dressed a letter to the governor, tak ing the chief executive to task for discourteous treatment toward a rep resentative of the showmen's legis lative, committee, when this represen tative called on the governor and en deavoted to present his mission,” r Graft said. Too Mnch Politics *‘I am convinced that the governor did not understand what was pre-> sented to him; that his head was so full of polictics that he had no time, to give to moral issues. I resent tho governor's attitude In this case fronv the fact that for years X have been i one of the leaders in the effort toil bring about this clean-up in the out-! ? door show world. "X want It thoroughly understood that. I stand with those who are making a fight for the elimination of unfair and unscrupulous games and (or the suppression of unclean, im moral shows. The Outdoor Show men of America and Canada have bound themselves together to clean thslr own house and ar<- asking for tho moral support of our public officials. Morals Second, Claim “To this our governor did not have tlm# to give an ear, but it seems that ha was too busy with his campaign to grant a courteous hearing to s representative of the outdoor show world. It is politics first, morals sec ond, with him. I take this action of the governor as an affront to me and to the interests I have been con nected with for 13 years. ‘‘Instead of placing Nebraska in tlie column with the rest of our sister states, he has brought criticism upon our Ire ads. While Nebraska has re ceived a blackeye for the present, when the conditions are thoroughly understood by our people, Nebraska will be in the correct column in this moral clean-up campaign. Governors of other states have graciously given this movement their hearty indorse ment, with governors of six states serving on the executive committee of this great movement."
