VOTE FOR
NEBRASKA'S WAR GOVERNOR
BECAUSE
1. Every pledge made to the people haa been fully
and faithfully redeemed.
2. He has given whole hearted support to the Federal
Government, and his experience is an asset in the prose etir
tlon of the war.
3. He has made it possible for Nebraska's heroic sons
in the service to exercise the right of franchise, and hiv
protected their property rights in their absence from tho
State.
4. He will exert every effort to protect the people
of Nebraska from organized profiteering.
5. He has vigorously opposed all things calculated to
embarrass the Government in the prosecution of the war.
6. His administration has been clean, honest and
businesslike, free from graft, favoritism and ostentation.
7. The General Fund levy for 191S has been reduced
to three mills, and the amount raised in taxes for the Gen
oral Fund, will be the least raised in thirty years.
8. Hundreds' of thousands of dollars were saved to
the farmers through the embargo placed upon seed corn
in 1917. The pYice per bushel in Nebraska ranged from
$3.00 to .$5.00, while in Iowa and surrounding states, the
prices reaped by seed speculators ranged from $5.00 to
$12.00.
9. He appointed a committee of prominent stock
feeders to confer with the Federal Food Administration,
and a market for heavy beef cattle was created, averting
disaster to the stock feeding industry of Nebraska.
10. The State Hail Insurance law has been adminis
tered in an efliclent and businesslike manner, and all losses
sustained by policy holders during the past season will be
paid in full. No other State selling hail insurance has ever
paid 100 per cent of its losses.
11. The Seed Analysis Branch of the Pure Food De
partment has, during Governor Neville's administration,
made more than 5,000 seed tests, without cost to the farm
ers of Nebraska.
12. Being advised that there was a shortage of hog
cholera serum and virus, and that Nebraska hog raisers
were experiencing difficulty in securing promjt delivery of
the product, Governor Neville recommended to the Regents
of the State University, that the state serum plant bo re
opened. The Regents acted favorably upon the Governor's
recommendation, and immediately directed the reopening
of the plant.
13. Prohibition has been energetically enforced
throughout the State. There have been 4,527 prosecutions
and fines have been assessed aggregating $125,000s00.
14. He was born and reared in Nebraska, and under
stands the needs of the people.
15. It is unwise to change horses in l! ' - ; "
a stream.
Nebraska has excelled all othfr '
of war work endeavor. Tho re-oleot -governor
will mean a continuation 0 '
m this work.
