Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 16.—Republican nembers of the legislature will meet as soon as the soldier vote has been can vassed and the fate of several whose seats are endangered because of the closeness of the unofficial vote. The meeting 1* for the purpose of agreeing upon legislation to redeem the specific platform pledges of the party. One of the big pieces of legislation has to do with curbing the greed of the whole salers In fruits, vegetables and other foodstuffs. Investigations made by Senator Pe terson, of Lancaster county, who also has been county food administrator, convinced him that the middlemen were charging entirely too much for their services. A Nemaha county veg etable grower came to Lincoln recently and wanted to sell a carload of turnips at. 1 cent a pound. He found neither the wholesales nor the retailers willing to buy. Turnips are selling in the lo cal market at 5 cents a pound. The grocers won't buy because if they do the Jobbers will tell them to get all their produce from the producer or from them, and will also work off on those who buy from growers the culls and poor quality of goods the grocer must purchase from them. Sentiment is divided among legisla tors over the question of which is the proper remedy, regulation of the whole salers and their prices or the creation of cooperative associations to take their place. The state constitution contem plates only Joint stock corporations, and gives stockholders a. vote for each share. This interferes with the success of cooperative associations because when they get to be successful stock control Is purchased and they pass Into private hands. The plan is to give these the legal status of limited part nerships, where the vote rests with the individual and not on the basis of stock held. 8EMI-OFFICIALRETURNS ARE EXPECTED TO STAND Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 16.—Unless the soldier vote contains some upsets, the one election contest that the first avail able figures did not end has been de cided.

The state canvass of votes will not begin for three weeks. Under the soldier voting law the men serving abroad have until the fourth Tuesday of the month to send their ballots. Only l,300 of the 12.000 on this side of the water took advantage of the opportunity to vote, and it is figured that the total from the other Bide will be slight. The home soldier vote is now being canvassed by the state commission created for that purpose. —f— NORRIS ELECTION COST $2,570; FRIENDS HELPED Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 16—According to the report of the treasurer of the Norris League, It cost $2,676 to secure his election at the hands of the people of Nebraska.
