TO BE LiS
PROCLAMATION PUTTING AMEND
MENTS IN FORCE.
E CONTROL BOARD
Popular Vote Shown By Canvassing
Board to Be Less for Wilson In
State Than for Bryan.
Tho state canvassing board com
menced tho tremendous task of check
ing and verifying tho vote at tho elec
tion early this month. Tho board
started its labors by canvassing tho
returns on tho amendments.
Governor Aldrlch, as soon an tho
board officially verifies this voto, will
Ibsuo a proclamation, which will put
into legal effect the amendments and
will mako them laws of tho state.
It is thought that Governor Aldrlch
will lose no time in putting the
amendments on tho statutes of tho
state. Whether ho will then make an
attempt to nppolnt tho members of
tho Stato Board of Control, which
body was created by one of tho
amendments Is not known at this
time, tho governor having so far( re
fused to commit himself.
Secretary Walt and Stato Auditor
Barton aro tho two members of the
canvassing board who wero on tho
Job. Whllo tho task is but a matter
of form there Is considerable detail
work In Us connection.
Nebraska's total voto on president
this year is 11,653 below that cast In
Nebraska in 1908, when W. J. Bryan
was tlio' nominee. Tho total number
of ballots cast this year vas 259,838,
whllo four years ago tho total was
271,491.
Wilson's vote In this state was
109,053, as compared with 131,099 for
Bryan In 1908, a decrease in tho dem
ocratic presidential vote of 22,046.
These comparisons wero shown when
the stato canvassing board began its
work hero this afternoon.
Thlo falling off Is attributed hero to
tho fact that Bryan received a big
"state pride" voto, many of these vot
ers having cast their ballots for
Roosevelt this year.
Tho combined voto for Roosevelt
and Taft was a trifle under what Taft
received in the state four years ago.
Roosevelt's voto is 72,714 and Taft's
54,272, making an aggregate of 124,
986 for both. Four years ago Taft
got 126,997.
Opposes Frisco Building.
Commissioner of Public Lands and
Buildings F. B. Cowles Is not enthusi
astic over the suggestion that the leg
islature appropriate $50,000 for the
eroctfon of a stato building on tho
San Francisco exposition grounds.
Tho commissioner's stand on the mat
ter waB announced after he had re
ceived a lottor from an Omaha roof
ing manufacturer asking for the pos
sibility of getting tho contract to use
nsbestos shingles on the new struc
ture. Mr. Cowles replied in a brief
letter stating that nothing had been
dono and nothing would bo until an
appropriation had been made. "I
hopo thoro will not bo an appropria
tion," said Mr. Cowles, "for an
appropriation of $50,000 could be used
to better advantage for tho wards of
tho state."
Agricultural Statistics.
Frank G. Odell, statistician for the
Btato board of agriculture, says that
thero Is something wrong with tho
present mothods of gathering agri
cultural statistics. Ho finds a, wldo
variation botwoon tho so-called "of
ficial reports" Issued by tho United
States department of agriculture and
the stato bureau of labor, which is
the official statistical department for
Nebraska.
