paign fund, an army of government
employees drawing their salaries from
tho treasury; three-fourths of the
newspapers or more agnlnst us, and
the coercive power of concentrated
wealth."
He advocated tho organization of
permanent Democratic clubs In every
county, tho establishment of a Demo
cratic paper In every community and
the continuation of the educational
work as the things necessary for fut
ure Democratic success.

SHELDON TQ THE LEGISLATURE.
Outflolnq Governor Urges sterilization
of Dellnauent Criminals.
Lincoln, Jan. 8. Governor Sheldon,
In his iiipRsiiKO to tho legislature, has
Bomo strong recommendations to innko
and does not hesitate to toll whoro ho
stands on sovcral questions which
bnvo been agitating tho political at
mosphere In Nebraska for tho past
few years. Tho liquor traffic Ib partlc
ularly obnoxious, In his mind, and for
that reason ho recommends that an
absolutely stnte-wldo prohibition law
bo passed, and Insists on a strict en
forcement of the law which provides
that no man shall tako a drink In a
saloon that ho docs not himself pay for.
The social question Is then touched
upon and tho retiring governor handles
It without gloves. Ho says carolcss
and 111 advised marriages cause untold
hnrm and In this connection Bays: "I
thereforo recommend for your earnest
consideration a change In our mar
riage laws, so that it will bo impossi
ble for any man or woman to marry
until a certificate from a physician
licensed to practice in this state has
been presented, containing u state
ment that their health Is good and
that they aro cnpablo of producing

LEGISLATURE DOWN TO WORK.
First Important Business to Come Up
Is Canvassing of Vote.
Lincoln, Jan. 11. Tho legislature
got down to business today, both
branches having been fully organized
last week. The first business of im
portance to come up is tho canvassing
of the vote on constitutional amend
ments. Extraordinary Interest is
taken In this cnnvnss, because It Is
snld that tho Democratic majority
will attempt to unseat the Republican
supreme Judges selected by tho former
administration, as provided for In tho
amendment adopted at tho last olec
tlon. The Democrats declare tho
amendment does not becomo law un
til tho vote is canvassed by the legis
lature, and that the judges appointed
by Governor Sheldon do not properly
hold their seats. Thts matter may bo
conio tho cause of a bitter struggle.
The banking law will probably bo
introduced this week. Tho bill will
provide for "prompt", but not "Imnie-
, dinte," payment of depositors In the
Vent of latlures. This has been nc
cfdod on after an extended 'conference
between William J. Bryan and former
State Chairman P. 1 Hnll, the latter
being a banker. It Is said that the
bunker finally succeeded In bringing
theVominoiier to his vvny of thinking.
