THE PUBLIC LIBRARY The public library is perhaps, the cry busiest place in town after school each day, until closing time ncl for two ours in the evening. Under the supervision of the librar- an and her assistant and with the co-operation of the teachers, much of tudy and prepartory work for school ? done here. Our library has over 6,000 volumes, and has about 3000 adult subscribers. During the month of Jan. 3,732 books were exchanged an increase fo 319 over the same month a year s,o. In the preceding month. Dec. 927, 489 more books were exchang ed than over the same time one year before. However if we would lay aside all hat thi,s exchange of books means to so many people and only consider what it means to our young folks. n so many ways, our public library is the best investment the taxpayers make. Our library ranks fourth in he state, only Omaha, Lincoln and Beatrice are ahead of us. The ever increasing need for more ht If room for books is at present one of the immediate problems of tne ibrary board. In order to meet the requirements that seem, automatical ly to enlarge each year, more book pace must be provided as weir as other things. To do this, inside the financial limit, is rather interesting work. Everyone is welcome at the li brary and anyone who would spend an afternoon or evening there, would probably have a revelation regard- ng the activities and range of sud ects covered. The librarian is al ways glad to give any information n any way associated with the li brary and its work. SUFFERS BROKEN WRIST From Wednesday's Dally This afternoon Father W. S.

Former Gov. Bryan Issues His Statement Says He Feels Is Complying With Re quest of the Democratic Party and Individuals. r'iiui-iu v itrvan. former gover nor Tuesday announced that he had decided to become a candidate for, the gubernatorial nomination and, filed his acceptance of the petitions i filed by his friends, with the secre tary of state. His statement: 'T have reluctantly accepted the filing for governor made for me by taxpayers. t .inirHmr tn ct mid as a demo- I iu utviuuib -u ! I !. . J I .1 . . fj- rrnwppnnr this Ul itlli; uanuiuaic iv . year, I feel I am complying with) what appears to be the unanimous ( request of a united and harmonious democratic party, and of many in-1 dividual citizens affiliating with other political parties. I am request-( ed to continue the fight waged two years ago for a reduction in state taxes and for honesty in public of fice. The people of this state were deceived by their state officials dur ing the campaign two years ago as to the condition of the state finances and as a result of that dishonesty and deception the governor and a couny less army of politicians are holding office today at the taxpayers expense and sorrow. "As a result of a reckless disre gard of the taxpayers interest state taxes have been more than doubled since my administration three years axo. to pay deficits that the present erovernor and his republican asso- ciates solemnly declared did not exist and to pay hundreds of employees at mcreased salaries that were not needed during my administration and will not be needed or retained if I "The entire deficit of four and a half million dollars which the tax payers are now paying in addition to an increase of thirty-five per cent in the cost of the present state ad ministration is due entirely to the extravagance and inefficiency of the republican party since the close of my administration. Says Deficit Increasing. 'There is at present another de ficit in the states finances of more than a million dollars and it is in creasing and will have to be paid by the taxpayers next year.' "The board of control has now a deficit in its funds of over two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars and it is increasing and will have to be raid by the taxpayers next year. The ftate road department on account of ts vast unnecessary army of political employees and extravagance in buy inw road machinery and excessive contract allowances is running be hind and cannot pay its bills or con tinue road development, altho it is receiving three million dollars extra a year from a gasoline tax. 'The state auditor's reports for the past four years have been pre pared in such a way as to prevent the people from knowing what the cost of state government is and fig ures have been juggled to cover de ficits and baud them over from one year to another and from one sue ceeuing republican oniceiioiaer to an other. The state business records should be audited by an independent national auditor and the public should demand it. "It will be a great hardship for the taxpayers to pay for the past dishonesty- and indefensible extrava gance but they will have to do it, but they have a right to demand that the dishonesty and extravagance be immediately and permanently stop ped. It will take an honest audit and a public branding of officials to put the state's business on an honest and economical basis. Republican officials will not punish each other. "The people of the state were shocked and humiliated by the dis honesty of the republican officials and party leaders in the recent state campaign. They saw a state treas urer under party pressure stulify himself by upholding the dishonesty of his party associates and destroy the confidence of the people on the integrity of the state government. "I have accepted the filing for gov-! rnor to help the taxpayers reduce the cost of state government and re duce the taxes down to where the people can pay them. The democratic party gave the people of Nebraska the guarantee of bank deposits law, and the republican, officials and cer tain bankers have almost killed the law, and will kill it if its operation ind administration is not immediate-, ly put in the hands of its friends.! If elected I will use every power at my command to strengthen, uphold and enforce the guarantee of deposits law to the end that bank deposits are paid in full and promptly on demand of depositors. I "If I am elected governor I will discharge my duties under the con stitution of giving the people of Ne braska "an efficient and economical administration" before undertaking t9 usurp the duties of the president and congress. I "I am opposed to any increase in axes for any purpose, city or state until the people are able to pay the taxes they now owe. The most im portant state business is restoring honesty in public office, reducing state taxes, protecting depositors in banks, preventing profiteering by trusts and monopolies and to pro tect and develop the states natural resources, and the protection of the farmers and wage earners from un-, scrupulous gougers. "IT I am elected and the voters' will give me a legislature and state) officials who will support my enorts I will carry out the above program for the benefit of the people of Ne braska. "I will outline and discuss other states issues later and will challenge republican officials and candidates to.
