Griswold Sees
Possibility of
Another Party
Those on Relief Are Likely to Desert
the Administration When Cut
in Relief Roll Comes.
Smashing of the new deal in 193 6
thru the rise of a radical third party
composed largely of dissatisfied re
life workers was predicted Friday
night by Dwight Griswold when he
and Robert G. Simmons spoke at a
smoker attended by republican leg
islators and members of the Young
Men's Republican club at the Lin
dell hotel, Lincoln
Griswold asserted that when relief
rolls are cut, those who formerly
received funds will turn against the
administration. A democratic defeat,
he said, is inevitable because per
sons on relief will either form a
j separate party or join forces with the
' republicans.
Turning to conditions in Nebras
ka, Griswold pointed out that no
governor or legislature ever faced
more difficult problems than now
confront Governor Cochran and the :
1934 lawmakers. Griswold disagreed
with Cochran on several issues, say
ing he opposed local option as tho
best way to destroy the bootlegger
and was against extension of the two
year mortgage moratorium.
Simmons told the audience that
the republican party "must start i
working from the group up in or-
i der to organize for victory." Repub
lican leaders in congress and on the
national committee must be alive to
the desires and aims of the field
workers,. Simmons, said-...,-,. , '.
The two speakers were introduced
by William Matschullat. State Sen
ator Van Kirk presented republican
senators, and Representative Reid
introduced house republicans attend-
ing. John Mockett
presided at the
meeting.
II0USL PASSES BILL
W;ishington. The house passed
and sent to the senate the $777,237,
5 62 independent offices measure
which includes $705,420,000 for the
veterans' administration. It allotted
$2,000,000 for the securities and ex
change commission. The approria
tions committee had recommended
$1,679,244 and the commission had
sought $4,000,000.

in this vicinity.
Had a Pleasant Evening
On last Friday night at the parlors
of the Greenwood Christian church
there was held a social meeting that
took the form cf an old fashioned
spelling bee. A large crowd was pres
ent and during the spell-down therJ
were many surprises in the way some
of the contestants chose to spell the
more common words. To some of the
older heads it seemed like old times
when the spelling bee was one of the
popular forms of amusement, long be
fore automobiles and other modern
day conveniences were even dreamed
of. And, by the way, as much good
wholesome fun can be had out of
! these older amusements than ans-
thing modern day folks can think up
to take their r'ace.
