ENTERTAINS FRIENDS From Thursday's Dally Miss Emma Johnson was hostess at a very delightful bridge party "at Senator Banning Has Given Real Public Service Candidate for Re-Election in the Second District Has a Not able Record. The voters of the counties of Cass. Otoe and Sarpy which comprise the second senatorial district, have a re presentative in the legislature of which they can feel proud in the person of Senator William B. Banning of Union, who is now seeking re election on the democratic ticket for that office. Senator Banning by his long serv ice in the legislature has risen to be one of the outstanding figures in the state law making body and in his service he has won the respecv and admiration of hts associates, both republicans and democrats for his untiring devotion to the public interests. William B. Banning was first elect ed to the legislature in 1909 and re elected in 1911, serving with dis tinction in these two sessions, and in the memorable session of 1909 was one of the democratic leaders that secured the passage of the bank guarantee law which had been spon sored by Governor Shallenberged, at that time the head of the state gov ernment. Senator Banning was again re elected to the sessions of 1922 and 1924 and occupied a place of lead ership and while one of the few minority senators his advice and as sistance wa3 highly valued by his republican associates. He was a lead er on the finance, agricultural and insurance committees of the senate and was able to assist in the secur ing of valuable legislation. In his service as a public official Senator Banning has been non-partisan and worked as earnestly for re publican progressive measures as those that might originate from his own party. With his high etanding with the leaders of both parties Senator Ban ning will be able to give the very best of service and his wide exper ience in the affairs of state govern ment would be most valuable for the district and state. The voters will make no mistake in returning Sena tor Banning to the legislature as he is a real representative of the people regardless of politics. His strong stand in favor of the bank guarantee fund law as well as the direct primary law stamy2 him as an outstanding progressive leader.
