er of Douglas, II. E. 239, which not
only covers the same subject in much
the same way but amplifies the issue
and goes even farther than the gover
nor has gone in the measures sub
mitted today. So similar are these
two proposals that when the gover
nor’s bill was read to the House today,
Stoecker cried out, '“Look up my bill,
No 239. I have one lust like it.”
But Stoecker’s has lain unnoticed in
t he tiles for a long time with none to
i o it honor. An hour before the gov
ernor’s bill reached the House, the
Senate in committee of the whole had
recommended for passage S. F. 317
by Brown of Lancaster, a bill prov id
ing for the control of the issue of
stock, and bonds by corporations, a
measure covering practically the same
issues. A knowledge of these facts
leads the careful observer to suspicion
with good reasons that the governor’s
dramatic entry on the field of legis
lation was little less than palpable
play to the galleries.
The governor's bill was rushed
through the House in record time,
and sent to the Senate at the close of
the week, where out of deference to
the chief executive it will no doubt
meet with a similar experience.
County option was again beaten in
the House during the past week, the
Boyd bill, H. R. 249, being indefinitely
postponed by a vote of 52 against to
39 for. The Boyd bill was an exact
counterpart of Senator Miller's bill
defeated in the Senate some time ago.
Both houses are now on record in the
matter of county option, having de
feated the measure in both branches
of the legislature._
Many of the appropriations of in
terest to the various cities in the
state are on their final passage in the
Senate at the close of the week.
Among them the following have
passed both houses: $70,000 for new
buildings at Beatrice, Feeble Minded;
$40,000 for new buildings at Peru Nor
mal; $50,000 for the Kearney Normal.
The House has passed the bill by
Kelly of Furnas appropriating $100,
000 for an agricultural college in the
western end of the state. The bill
has yet to pass the Senate and receive
the governor’s approval.
Doyle’s Platform.
To the Electors of the City of O’Neill:
At the earnest request of the few
zealous friends of mine, I permitted
them to circulate a petition placing
me in nomination of the office of
mayor at the eleventh hour. At this
day and age a man asking people to
vote for him should announce in ad
vance his position on important
questions.
If elected to the office, it shall be
my endeavor to bring to the city of
O’Neill what is known as the day
light saloon. That means a saloon
operated from six o’clock or half past
in the morning until seven or half
past in the evening with a license at
$800 with not to exceed three saloons.
The saloons in the capital of the
state have been so operated for the
past year and have given eminent
satisfaction. This would in part do
away with that scene familiar to all
who are not scriptually blind, of the
string of famishing horses in the cold
wintry nights standing perishing at
the hitching posts. And in the wee
small hours of the morning the
owners with their little batch of groc
eries. ride out over the hilt toward
home as did John Cilpen. Sometimes
they reach home in safety while Mary
and the children watch at the gate
and at other times they laod in Eter
nity. While from our homes at mid
night, it is not unusual to have the
air tilled with shouts and curses and
an occasional crack of the pistol.
With the daylight saloon this would
partially come to an end.
If elected, I will re-appoint the
entire set of city officers with the one
exception of Mr. Kane the present
nightwatch. I shall promise a ration
al economy in the administration of
the city’s finances and will publish an
exact account of each meeting, setting
fortii tiie amount of money used and
to whom paid.
I shall also publish a statement of
the proceedings had during the last
three years showing the amount of
money taken in and the amount paid
out and to whom it was paid. 1 will
say that there were more taxes col
lected the last three years than in the
preceding ten years, today O’Neill is
the only city in the state of its popu
lation who has neither a lighting
plant nor tire protection. In verifica
tion of this statement read the cor
respondence between the tire depart
ment and the mayor of three weeks
ago, where through shear neglect on
on his part, they accepted the only
honorable alternative left, and tend
ered their resignation, which he
promptly accepted, after years of
faithful service without pay.
With the men engaged in the saloon
business in O’Neill at the present
time, we have no contention. They
are the least offensive and conduct
their business as well, if not better,
than any saloon keepers the city has
ever had. But the hour for the ex
tinction of the saloon has struck and
we, having within our gates a hun
dred children who have come here to
receivea religious and moraleducation,
it behooves us as a people to say to their
parents and those who sent them that
O’Neill has taken advance ground on
the greatest question that confronts
our people today.
I have not sought this nomination
and to prove to you that 1 am in
earnest, if Mr. Biglin will promise
the people that he will bring about
a daylight saloon, with the reforms I
have here suggested, I will withdraw
from the contest and vote for him.
Rumor hath it on the street that
my petition will not be filed. The
citylclerk being a servant in the court
of the high priest may throw it out on
an alleged technicality but should
that contingency arise, those who
wish to vote for me can write my
name on the ballot. I shall' not so
licit even so much as one vote nor will
I thank any man who will vote for me,
if he is not entitled to vote. If your
sympathy is with the reforms here
suggested, vote for them through me.
If not, be it done unto you as you will.
I will tell you of a truth; if by your
vote you open the saloon door and
through its evil influence my son is
lost,expectiDg even an exact justice
from on nigh, who will say that ypu^
son will not meet a like fate. 1’here
will be a few Pharisees sneer at this
saying but I warn you in the future.
Then perhaps in tears you will re
member the truth of it.
Compare the conditions that exist
today to the conditions that con
fronted me when I was elected mayor
four years ago.The business was then
operated by bandits and ^-Pharisees.
Closed windows. Sunday the big day..
Gambling and robbery every night oc
currances. When I tore off their cur
tains, and threw out their cards and
card tables and let God’s sunlight
pour in upon them, it drove some of
them out of the country and others
into retirement.
Yours with much respect,
D. A. Doyle.
