NKVI1E IS SATISFIED WITH
OUTLOOK FOB SUCCESS.
(Lincoln Journal.)
Regardless of any and all Impres
sions to tho contrary Keith Neville,
democratic nomlneo Tor gcovcrnor, Is
satisfied with tho democratic outlook
and with tho party organization back
of his candidacy. If the demcratlo
nominee has a grlevancb,fsuc'h' griev
ance Is directed at the anti-saloon
league of Nebraska. Such satisfaction
and such grlovance weY3 aired' by Mr.
Neville in his room at tho Lincoln ho
tel Friday afternoon.
Keith Neville Is doing tho picnics.
Ho atended a gathering at Eagle
Thursday night and is booked for a
celebration at Dorchester Saturday.
His timo in Lincoln was spent on a
get-acquainted itour with democrats.
Ho spent much of tho afternoon at
tho city hall.
Regardless of rumor that Candidate
NovJllo did not pay a visit to Mayor
Bryan at, tho city hall and that the
mayor did not call at tho'candldate's
quarters at tho hatol, It was assured
by the candlduto himself that all is
harmonious within tho ranks and that
lines of ens to and discrimination liavo
been washed away. If tlioro Is a rlfflo
on it lie democratic sea, such rlfflo Is
without and boyond tho knowledge of
Mr. Novlllo.
Tho head of tho democratic ticket
is outspoken In denunciation of tho
campaign methods of tho anti-saloon
league. Tho latter organization Is ac
cused of alleging that a candidate Is
unsafe unless ho stands firmly In fa
vor of the adoption of tho proposed
dry amendmont, Mr. Novlllo Is op
posed to tho amendmont as a political
jlicasuro. "A man's porsonal vlowa
should not ontor Into a stafo political
Issue," says tho candidate. Mr. Nev
ille argues that tho fundamental prin
ciple of tho Initiative and referendum
is that all issues submlbtod to po'pu-.
lav voto shall bo non-partisan,
The head of tho democratic stato
ticket bolloves ho Is a safo man. Ho
argues that 'since ho carried his homo
city, 420 to 04, at tho rocont primary,
such tribute should carry somo wolgty
ns to his ability and qualification to
vcarry out tho will of tho people. Ho
Insists (lint both .himself and tho re
publican nominee are pledged by tho
eamo bond. To enforce tho amend
ment if It carries and becomes a law.
Slnco both democratic and republican
uro bound by the samo 'plodgo ties,
Candldnto Novlllo cannot appreciate
tho stand taken by tho anti-saloon
league,
Although opposed to tho amendment
ns a political issue, Mr. Neville said
that tlmo for a discussion of tnorit of
the mcasuro must bo reserved for
election day. Ho would not venture an
opinion as to the likelihood of pas
sage of tho amendment. "It's too early
to venture a prediction." Although
Friday was a comparatively cool) day
In Lincoln tho democratic candidate
was found in his room collarlass and
in shirt sleeve. Atmospheric condi
tions had small effect on a political
battlo In which tho heat was nlrealy
notlcablo.
Mr. Neville expressed satisfaction
over progress already made. He was
pleased with tho personnel of cam
paign managers. He Is of tho opinion
that tho democrats will win this fall.

promlso that "whosoover llvci and
bollevcth In mo shall never die," sho
has passed to hor roward tho life
