YEISER URGES THE BILL
(From a Staff Correspondent.).
LINCOLN. March 4. (Special
'Telegram.) A warm discussion oc
curred this evening before the judi
ciary commit of the. house over H.
' R. J36, by Meysenburg, which pro
hibits a newspaper from publishing
criticism, ridicule of censure of par-
j ties running for office, or anyone
else, and compels the newspaper to
give such party space to get back.
I r Colonel John O. Yelaer la sponsor for
the bill and sppeared before the rommlu
tee, and wu seconded by Colonel John
O. Maher. Several newspaper men were
on the Job and Rave the titled gentlemen
a warm reception.
I Among the speakers were H. M. Davis
of Ord, first assistant clerk of the house;
J. H. Cutright. editor of the Lincoln 8 tar;
N. J. Ludl of Walioo, state printer: Fred
Cary of the Omaha News and P. A. Bar
rows. Lincoln representative of The
Omaha Bee. . .
The bill practically denies free speech
to the newspaper men and places the
paper In the hands of the public instead
of "the owner. Mr. Cutright said' that If
he should criticise as a democrat the re
publican party that party's committee had
the right to come back and fill his edi
torial page with the other side of the
argument. .
j Mr. Ludl said that It would practically
, put a newspaper man who took pride In
his editorial column out of business for
: no editor would dare psss an opinion
j knowing that he would be compelled to
j give space to the other side, no matter
whether the opposition was right or
wrong.
The bill was put over for another hear
ing March U.
