PROMINENT REPUBLICAN
DECLARESFOR WILSON
Ex-Mayor llmatrh Makes a 8wci-
ing Statement in Which He Says
He Is For the President
Lincoln. Ex-Mayor W. J. nroatch
of Omaha, throw a bomb shell into
tLe republican camp thla week by do
clurlng in a swooping Btntemont that
he was for the re-elect Ion of Presi
dent Wilson, and would both support
and vote for him. 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. Other former prom
inent republicans who are support
ing Mr. Wilson are: Judge Arthur
O. Wray of York, Hon C. VanDuson
of the Iilair Pilot, Will S. Jay and W.
C. Crooks of Lincoln. O. O. VanMetor
8ecretary of the Progressive state
committee rour years ago, and many
others who might be named.
Charles W. 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.
