The fire alarm was turned in and

ELECTION DAY IS
QUIET AS GRAVEYARD
Only Interest Apparent in Board of
Education Ticket- Voters Do
Much Writing In.
From Tuesday's Daily.
The municipal election today was
one of peace and quietude and hardly
a riffle marked the surface of the vot
ing and the only race attracting
much attention was that for mem
bers of the board of education where
there were three candidates and.
therefore, a race.
In the various wards over the city
there was more or less independent
voting by writing in names of the
candidates desired for councilmen.
The election was in marked differ
ence to those in the pat,t when the
spirit of rivalry ran high for the city
offices and party lines were keenly
drawn and the campaign warm and
hectic between the parties and the
personal followers of the candidates.
Judge William Weber, who has for
many year3 been a staunch republi
can over in the good old democratic
second ward, remarked to the Jour
nal reporter the marked difference
between the present Quiet and unin
teresting elections and the stormy
days when each party printed their
own tickets and the voters were all
out in force. The judge related one of
his campaigns when Ije was a repub
lican' candidate ent.irian and
the leaders of the opposition, com
posed of such veterans as Col. Ed
Ruffner and Col. Fred Kroehler, were
pourinsr the democratic votes into the
had been marched up to the polls to
vote under the leadership of demo-
jcratic workers from the shops and as!? hPPy married life in the years
they neared the second ward polls a that are before them. ,
, I
number of the Weber workers started
argument with the leaders and
. while the scrap was raging other
'workers for the judge made good the
chance to siidti'v the voters? with the
republican ballots and had them vot-
ed before the storm died down.
At that the olacine of the two do
litical parties in the field gave the
voters the choice of men and the is-
sues made an election full of inter
est and strong leaders in the city
government.
FEDERAL FARM
LOAN BONOS CALL
ED FOR REOEMPT'N

bonds of the twelve farm loan banks
.issued May 1, 1918. The total of the
issue by the. twelve banks is $55,-
032,000.
The announcement said the bonds
may be retired by the bank of issue
or at the federal reserve bank of New
York. The securities bore interest at
the rate of 5 per cent and were due
to mature in 19 3 S. Provision was
made, however, for an optional call
of the bonds five years after their
issue.
The action of the farm loan board
in calling all of the 1918 issue of
land bank bonds for retirement was
accepted as foreshadowing an early
isseu of new bonds at a lower rate
of interest than the 5 per cent rate
carried by the obligations which are
to be retired. It also was regarded
in some quarters as Indicative of a
program by the farm loan board for
refunding the other outstanding
bonds when they reach the stage
where they are subject to call under
the five-year option.

LAWYERS TO AID

General O'Ryan Names Them to Hear
Complaints From Disabled Vet-

erans in ixeorasea.
President Edward P. Holmes of the
state bar association, at the request
of General P. O'Ryan, now counsel
to the federal senate committee in
vestigating government care of dis
abled soldiers, has named the follow
ing Xebraskans as assistants to the
general in this state:

Kinsinger of Lincoln, Larl Meyer or
Alliance, George Munn of Ord, Franfc
Warner of Norfolk, Robert M. Arm- '
strong or Auhurn, ana hiarry iiiis
of Holdrege.
General O'Ryan states his position
in a letter from which this is taken:
"I cannot attempt to perform the
functions of the veterans bureau in
Washington, nor can I, acting for the
committee, assume the functions of a
board of appeal in cases where sol
diers are dissatisfied. I must, how
ever, cause to be investigated a large
number of complaints that might be
considered as characteristic, for the
purpose of judging the merits of
complaints of each class.
"What I have in mind is to con
stitute a list of former officers who
are lawyers and who will serve in
the manner indicated (without com
pensation) to hear the limited num
ber of complaints 6ent to them, where
the circumstances warrant it, to se
cure the facts by affidavits, and to re
port to me briefly their conclusions
and suggestions. This latter will be
directed toward expediting prompt
action in any meritorious case that
has been neglected, but should in
clude observations of constructive
character which go to the root of any
organizational defect in the system j
of providing for the disabled." j
