AN OPEN LETTER To All Beer Dealers in Nebraska: •TIT i*- ■; Our Committee has now been In operation Dearly six months. Our accomplishments during that period have proved beyond a doubt the wisdom and eiiectiveness oi the work which we are doing in the public interest and in the interest oi the beer business in Nebraska. From state, county and municipal officials, at well as leaders of thought throughout the state, we have learned that by re fusing to sell beer to retailers who abuse the privilege of a license, our Committee has strengthened the position which the beer industry occupies in the social and economic structures of Nebraska. A very large share of the success of our program is due to the splendid co-opera tion of beer retailers, the vast majority ol whom realize that in supporting our ob lectives. they are protecting their own business. I wish to express my appre ciation of this support and to urge your continued assistance. Sincerely yours. ChazlM t Sandal! STATE DIRECTOR 710 FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING I LINCOLN. NEBR.

In the next unicameral the farm ers will predominate with 13 mem bers. There will be 11 lawyers and three newspaper men. Two mer chants were selected. The following vocations have one each: insurance, doctor, accountant, automobile dealer, grain dealer, art dealer, im plement dealer, restuarant owner, oil dealer, trucker; while J. Lyndon Thornton of Fairbury is listed as an ex-postmaster. George B. Gross of Valentine is a former county of ficial. Twenty are former members and nine served in bi-cameral legis latures, fourteen are without pre vious legislative experience. The republicans captured twenty four, while the democrats have 19 members. While the senators were elected on non-partisan ballots, it is expected that there will be a mark ed political undercurrent at the next session. Members who have comP'to the state house predict that the feeling will be strongly against the gover nor and the cities of Omaha and Lincoln. With the exception of the office of lieutenant governor, every place on the state ticket went to Omaha or Lincoln candidates. In addition, Governor Cochran wig gled through with the abnormal vote given him in Omaha. Previous to the election, the con servatives in the legislature, feel ing certain that Amos Thomas would be reelected, had ambitions to make him speaker. After the re turns came in, the Omaha and Lin coln legislators-elect shied off and decided not to support any Omaha or Lincoln man. “I feel certain,” said Lester Dunn of Lincoln, "that Amos Thomas prefers the chairmanship of the judiciary committee, while Frank Brady will get the appropriations committee, and Leland Hall prob ably will be chairman of the com mittee on banking.” The leading candidates for speak er are O. Edwin Schultz of 'Elgin, Dan Garber of Red Cloud, W. H~ Diers of Gresham, Dr. A. L. Miller of Kimball, and Hugh Ashmore of Palisade. A caucus is held on the evening preceding the first session of the legislature, and the speaker and employees are then chosen. There will be as much suffering this winter among the needy as was witnessed in the v, inter of 1890 -91,' declared Dwight Felton, state WPA administrator. “The various agencies should quit wrangling and get down to business.” Direct relief funds are non-exist ent in most counties, he said. More than a thousand must be cut off the pay rolls Dec. 1. The new bud get law forbids the counties to go in debt for food or fuel.
