Outside of the Omaha district there is only one democratic candidate for the state senate in the state of NfihraBka who is not yet publicly pledged to vote for ratification. That is the democratic candidate in the fifteenth senatorial district, comprising refforson and Thayer counties. It is to be hoped that these six democratic candidates will publicly pledge themselves be fore election day to carry out the will of the leonle as expressed in Nebraska two years ago; If not, the democratic voters of Nebraska can ie of more service to their country at this time jy voting for the republican members of the legislature, who are pledged to ratification, than thoy can by voting for the democratic candidates for the legislature who would vote to defeat the tmendment and retain the saloons. A largo majority of the candidate i to the Nebraska house of representatives are pledged to ratification, and more of them are making iledges each day. Nebraska voters should exaniine this list of candidates, and if their candidates are not in cluded in this list, the candidates should be im mediately called upon to express themselves upon this important quostion, and if they do lot pledge themselves to ratification, every pos sible offort should Tie made to defeat them at the lolls regardlessof what party they are affiliated The Nebraska legislature will ratify "the na7 tional prohibition amendment as one of the first orders of business when the legislature leets m January. It is gratifying to the dry forces of Nebraska who have been waging the contest against the distillers, brewers' and saloon keepers to know that their fight ha.S been prac tically won. The 'vote in the Nebraska legis lature for ratification should be unanimous in ioth houses, and if the voters do their dutv on the Gth day of November, the vote for ratifica tion of the national prohibition amendment in the Nebraska legislature will be unanimous "in lotii houses. ,t The candidates for the senate and house Pledging themselves to vote for ratification are is follows: .

The Gorman array Is headed for the Rhine auout as fast as the allies will lot it go, but it is suspected that it is not so much a case of horaes'cknesB as a desire to find something in which to drown their grief. This ought to be a good time for all those chaps who have been saying for a good many years that they proposed to retire to a farm some day and go to raising things to perform their patriotic duty. ' The Louisville Courier-Journal is now an open advocate of woman's suffrage, but there Is a strong suspicion that Marse Henry Isn't writing the editorials giving the reasons why the women should have the ballot.
