House Members
On account of the great number of
house members it is an impossibility
to thoroughly investigate their posi
tion and therefore our people are
advised to ascertain in person where
they stand before they give them
their vote. Wherever there are Ger
man societies or church organiza
tions or where there is a German
newspaper this task will be much
more easily accomplished.
Members of Congress
The election of members of con
gress we must entrust to our peo
ple, but would recommend to them
that they should pay great attention
to the advice of the German press.
The officers of each one of our sub
ordinate German-American alliances
are herewith most earnestly advised'
to call a special meeting of their so-
j clety in order to read this letter be
fore them to Impress upon them the
great importance of getting out the
Cull vote.
And finally one word more: Let
every one do his duty, let every one
vote, no matter what the weather
may be. If It rains, or snows, if it
is cold or warm, your votes or the
votes of your sons, your friends and
your neighbor are needed. If we
wish to strike down the uativlstlc
prohibitionists and to .help win the
victory for those candidates who are
Inclined to our way of thinking. The
polls throughout tho state are open
from 8 o'clock in the morning until
8 o'clock in the evening. Let every
onq do his full duty.
With true German greeting.

braska German-American Alliance.

for election by the German-American

SENATE'S LAST CRY "NO RATIFI
CATION" From the Nebraska State Journal.
April 9.
On account of the failure of Gov
ernor Neville to include ratification
of the national prohibitory amend
ment in his call for a special session,
and also on account of the refusal of
the senate to consider that subject
the federal amendment must await
the action of the next regular -session
of the legislature, or some sub
sequent session. Tho house of rep
resentatives ratified the prohibitory
amendment, regardless of the gov
ernor's refusal to place that subject
in his call, but the senate repeatedly
refused to consider this subject.
Had it not been for a resolution
by Senator A. J. Sawyer of Lan
caster the special session might have
adjourned without passing a reso
lut on commending President WilBon
and the war. As the senate had
previously shut out consideration of
the joint resolutions, for fear ratifi
cation of prohibition would go
through, the Sawyer resolution on
the war had to be adopted as a sen
arate affair in each house. P
1MEMBERS OP DRY COMMITTEE
CALLED IT GERMAN VICTORY
Prom the Nebraska State Journal
In a communication to the State
Journal Elmer E. Thomas and H. P.
Carson, members of the dry legisla
tive committee, declare that it is not
too late for the people of Nebraska
to assemble at the state house and
demand to know whether the legis
lative body of the state is going to
stand by the American army or
"complete its surrender to the kaiser
and continue the retreat ordered by
the members of the state senate
Monday."
The communication reads as fol
lows: It Is unfortunate that just at the
time when the alien-owned breweries
of the United States were able to
control the governor and a majority
of the state senate in such a shame
ful and, unexplained manner that
there has come to light the remark
able document from the Omaha Tri
bune, showing that the German
American alliance to put their hench
men into office in this state and have
such unlimited power over them
that they could compel them to sup
press democracy in the state of Ne
braska and to override the will of
the people as expressed by thirty
thousand majority; override the
standard of decency and morality set
up by the people of this state and
humiliate the true patriots of Ne
braska by showing to the world that
the organization which Is being in
vestigated by the national govern
ment for sedition and treason against
the American people, while we are
engaged with the war with Germany
is powerful enough in Nebraska to'
compel men who have taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States
i ..... , , .... . ,
lutionai amendment tnat was aaopi
ed almost unanimously by the house
of representatives and is demanded
almost unanimously by the people of
Nebraska as a patriotic measure.
Are the people of Nebraska going
to submit to the dictation of an or
ganization that has been shown by
the testimony of its nationalpresi
dent to be engaged in sedition against
the United States? Are they going to
permit this organization to postpone
the ratification of the prohibition
amendment which means giving to
the alien enemies, who harbor in the
United States, a hundred million dol
lars a month profit, the effect of
which is the shooting of our Amer
ican soldiers in the back while they
are fighting for the democracy of the
world? Are the people of Nebraska
going to permit this anti-American
organization by its power to postpone
the ratification of prohibition, worse
than waste food grains that are equal
in value to six million loaves qf
bread a day, sufficient to feed the
American- and allied armies? V
Is the Nebraska house of repre
sentatives, that has testified to its
Americanism and its loyalty to the
stars and stripes, going to permit
itself to be slapped in the face by
the audacious Hindenburg forces and
made to give up its place in the front
trenches where it is fighting for dem
ocracy, and permit the alien enemies
of this government to take charge of
the Nebraska legislature and state
house and to give aid and comfort
to the enemies of the United States
by permitting them to continue their
source of revenue that is being used
against the American soldiers and
the American people?
The so-called Nebraska legislature
is still in session. It is not too late
for the people of Nebraska to assem
ble at the state houBe and, demand
to know, and they have'avrjght to
know, whether the legislative body
