SUPPORTERS OF
NORMS PLAYING
POLITICS EARLY
Offer Encouragement to Candi
dates for United States Senate
With View of Splitting
Opposition.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. 25. (Special.) Evi
dence has been found that arouses
suspicion the same influences which
have, forced republican nominations
for governor in two recent primary
campaigns, but which were unable to
.show ctrncrtfl cnftiriAnt tt n... U
over in the election are now at work
in a quiet way to control if possible
the republican nomination for United
States senate. x
Letters are being sent out to men
in the state urging them to write re
publicans who have been "mentioned"
as possible candidates for the nomina-
"""i uijsuiK lutui iu get miu ine race
as neither of the two already in is a
"good American." It is known that
two men who have been thinking of
announcing their, candidacy have re
i ceived identical letters from the same
J man urging them to enter the race
f so that republicans may have the
"right sort' of a man to vote for.
The scheme is in the interest of a
certain candidate for the United
States senate, who desires re-election
and whose war record in rniiirwtc hac
not been at all satisfactory. The
scheme is to get as many "good
Americans" as possible in the race,
knowing that it will split the anti
Norris vote and result in the nomina
tion of the McCook man.
In a fight between Norris and Sloan,
it apepars to be the opinion of most
republicans that Sloan can turn the
trick, but if another man gets in, it
will split the anti-.N orris support and
ake sure sledding to the nomination

SUFFRAGEPROTEST
Object to State Defense Coun
cil Reaffirming Male Suffrage
Only in Submitting Amend
ment for Disfranchisement.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 25. (Special.)
Mrs. W. E. Barkley, president of the
State Suffrage association, has pre
sented to the executive committee of
the State Council of Defense, men's
division, a protest against submitting
an initiative petition to votei s in such
a form as to reaffirm male suffrage
only. The protest reads:
"In the name of the wonun of Ne
braska I Wish to enter a formal pro
test against the State Council of De
fense so formulating an initiative pe
tition to disfranchise foreigners not
fully naturalized, to be submitted to
the voters in 1918, as to reaffirm male
suffrage only. '
the last session ot tlie legislature
(1917), granted to the women of Ne
braska partial suffrage municipal,
county and presidential (exclusive of
judiciary).
"Although an organization known
as the Anti-Suffrage association circu
lated a petition and filed it with the
secretary of state to withhold this
partial suffrage privilege until such
time as it could be submitted to the
people, you must realize that their
act does not disfranchise the women,
but only defers it until such a time as
it can be acted upon by the courts or
by the people.
"We realize that the State Council
of Defense did not intend to attempt
to disfranchise the women, therefore,
we call your attention to this matter
and ask that the form of your petition
be such that it disfranchises the class
in question (the foreigner not fully
naturalized), and in no way attempt
to rewrite the election laws unless
you preserve to the women of the
state the rights now granted them
under the partial suffrage law."
