Lincoln , Neb. , June 17. As the
campaign grows hotter and hotter , tht
stampeding rumsellers grow uiaddui
and madder. The drunkard makers
have already assaulted several Amend
ment workers. A dastardly assault
was made on the person of Editor
Thomas of the El wood Ilecord several
weeks ago. The assault on llev. John
Power in Dodge county soon followed ,
llev. L. G. Jordau , the eloquent colored
orator from 1 exas , was viciously as
saulted by Mike Baruer , a saloonkeep-
ing brute at Mebraska Uity , last week.
The iron nerve of Jordau probably
saved his life. One of the most inhu
man assaults yet brought to notice was
that of a defeated saloonkeeper at Ash
land who recently way-laid and pounced
upon ltcv. ( J. A. Huyck , a retired min
ister who had been influential in defeat
ing the granting of a license to the law
less scoundrel who made the brutal at
tack. The saloon outlaws at lloca a
few weeks since , hurled an empty beer
, keg through the church windows into
an audience where the W. U. T. U.
. were holding a Demorest Medal Contest ,
slightly injuring several persons by fly
ing glass and frightening many of the
ladies. Arrests were made and the as
sailants were fined. Tho non-partisan
tent of A. C.llankin was cut br saloou
outlaws at Crete , and the night watch
man was shot at and several shots were
fired through the canvass. No arrests
were made so far as reported. As Hon.
Henry L. Chaffee , the business man of
Des Moines , sent out by the Iowa State
Temperance Alliance , was on his way
from a meeting he had addressed on the
business phase of Prohibition in West
Point one night last week , he was am
bushed and assaulted with eggs by the
infuriated of ' '
representatives 'personal
liberty. " An attempt was made at
Brownville to induce Kev. Jordau to
come out of the house where he was
lodging , to meet a midnight mob of sa
loon toughs.
Kearney business men have rolled up
a magnificent protest against Ed. Rog-
gen's "Bankers and 'Business Men's
Whiskey Trust. " One hundred and
forty-three business men of that city ,
including seven bankers and two of the
wealthiest firms in Kearney , signed the
following protest and declaration of
principles :
CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION.
WnEREAS , The defenders and apologists of
the licensed liquor traffic in Nebraska and the
nation , have organized a so-called "Business
Men and Bankers' Association" to serve the
interests of the brewers , distillers and saloon
keepers in a desperate effort to defeat consti
tutional Prohibition in this state ; and
Whereas , The various branches of legiti
mate business are associated in the declara
tions of this society with the opposition to
constitutional Prohibition ,
Therefore , We , the undersigned business
men and bankers of the state of Nebraska , do
hereby protest against the unwarranted as
sertion of the friends of the licensed liquor
traffic that "Prohibition is inimical to the
material welfare of the state , " and assert as
our deliberate judgment and belief ;
1. That constitutional Prohibition in out
lawing and abolishing the saloon will greatly
stimulate and benefit all lines of legitimate
business.
3. That the vast amount of money , amount
ing to many millions of dollars annually , now
being squandered for drink in the saloons of
Nebraska , will , by the adoption of the pend
ing Prohibitory amendment be turned into
the proper channels of trade , resulting in un
told benefit to the business men and bankers ,
as well as to the toiling thousands upon whom
the financial prosperity of this country de
pends.
We therefore advise all who would conserve
the material , educational and moral welfare
of Nebraska , and who would invite to our
state the most desirable class of immigrants ,
to work and vote for constitutional Prohibi
tion , November 4,1890. |
Blanks similar to theabovehavebeen
put into circulation in many towns and (
cities throughout the state. As soon as ,
the blanks are filled they should be
mailed to the Secretary or Chairman of
the society from which they were sent
out. This important matter should not i
be overlooked. !
The Amend- '
Non-partisan Prohibitory -
ment League has opened headquarters !
in rooms 30 and 31 , Montgomery block ,
where all friends of Prohibition will be
welcomed. Blanks for organizing local ]
or county leagues will be promptly fur- ]
nished by the secretary , C. A. Bobbins. <
All reputable newspapers in the State l
of Nebraska are requested to expose the (
deceptive fraud known as the "State f
Banker's and Business Men's Associal
tion. " It is an organization formed un- ?
der that decent name to do the diity /
work of the saloons. "Write for blank a
protests against it , to C. E. Bentley , j
128 Burr Block , Lincoln.
The kuling of the secretary of the in- *
terior with regard to the taking up of a
government lands will strike the people s
of the west very unfavorably. People
who have filed upon landssince August ,
1888 , must be protected in theirrights.
If the secretary is right , technically ,
some relief mustbeprovided for the peo
ple who have in good faith taken up I
lands by the pre-emption and the home-
stead acts. 1
