It will be remem bered that the Kx-Mayor of tho Ne braska metropolis two years ago was the candidate for state treasurer on the progressive ticket. Ho received next to the highest vote of any candi date on his ticket. Mr. Droatch for jenro has been prominently Identi fied with the republican party, up ntll the time he took up tho pro gressive movement. Hon. J. C. Uarpham of Lincoln, who was a pro gressive candidate for railway com missioner two years ago, receiving the highest vote or his party, recent ly announced that ho was for Presi dent Wilson.

Pool, secretary of state, last week completed the mailing or the Initiative and referendum pam phlets, one of which was mailod to ach voter who cast a ballot in 1914. The number u ailed was 256.311. on which the postage was $2,503.11. The argument on the question of the prohibition amendment was made by the commlttcoes appointed on each aide ot tho question, and tho argu ment on the I -roposivl amendment taking t ! 'u Food department out of polu... s w:s made by Clarence 10. H.irman. lit lo embarassment has been cau.e.l Mr. Pool because ot the claim t f u misunderstanding, that be wrote t lie urguii.rnts both li' and against the prohibition amendment and tor the pure rood amendment. The secretary of date has nothing to do with the questions at issue, and not one word or either argument was written by him. Hy virtue ot his office he is obligated by law to sign bis name and ottlclal title tc. the amendments and that Is as tap-us he la supposed to bo interested in the matter. Tho work of preparing and mailing this more than a quarter of a million ciremulars was a Job that re quired much time and extra help. During the tirteen years prior to 113, the bit nnial deficiencies or the atatc government amounted to more than a million and a quarter dollars. So rapidly did those deilciencies grow that during the latter years ot the above mentioned period, the succeed ing legislatures found it to bo one or the most complex as well as strenu ous problems with which they had to deal. Turing these years or wholo aale extravagance and officii'. I incom petency it was the regulr.r policy to deplete the funds or the various de partments appropriated by the prev ious session, in order th:t those hold ing executive and departmental of fices could go berore the Incoming Jegieluture and plead ror larger ap propriations. W hen Governor Mon head was inauguarted into otlice and during hi first term ho made a fight to overcome this tendency to wasteful extravagance, and succeeded to welll. that although practically uil the offices except his own appolnttees iiit hv renublicans. the 1915 legislature found the doflolenc) claim reduced more than one-half over the previous biennium. When Auditor Wm. 11. S.iii J ''twk over the .-.editors oflice he ma l itplain that unhs a real emergency arouo he would not recommend deficiency claims to the legislature. As a result of this stand and the ract that he has been backed by a corps of democratic oflicials. the legislature ot 1917 will have a small er number of deficiency claims than any session has had in more than 20 rears. The report of State Auditor Wm. H. Smith shows that warrants issued In September numbered 3.419. and the amount expended for the month totaled $430,628.26. Of this amount $208 145.97 was drawn out of the general fund; $170,606.86 was ex tended for the state university; $20. 342.73 for the state normal schools, and $16,845.57 for state uid bridge. From its cash funds the fire commis sion spent $399.90; the motor vehl .i rDniiinitiiin den:irt inent exDense amounted to $6,432.84. mostly for automobile plates, while from the in stitution cash fund $7,863.43 "was ex pended.
