By PAUL GREER.
Hebron, Xcb,, July 8. (Special
Telegram.) Clarence A. Davis it
seeking the republican nomination
for the United States senate with
clean government, law enforcement
and steady, consistent progress as his
slogans.
lie has back of him four years as
attorney general of Nebraska and is
willing to stand or fall by the record
lie has made. Setting out by automo
bile from Superior yesterday morn
ing, Mr. Davis visited Nelson, Clay
Center, Bruning and Hebron. Those
who heard him talk regarded him as
I shrewd, straightforward son of the
short grass country.
Hit home is in Holdrege, where he
has both farming and banking inter
ests. Out of this double experience
has developed ability to look at both
sides of the problems of agriculture.
Favors Co-Operation.
"The federal reserve system Is
splendid," he told his audience of 60
at Nelson, "but it is unsuited to the
needs of the farmers." He criticised
the limitations put on loans and made
the point that six months is too
v short t time for farmers who bor
row. Not only should western agri
culture be represented on the federal
reserve board, he declared, but the
directors of the district that includes
Nebraska should not be tied down
by rules suited only to manufactur
ing and commercial lines.
Encouragement of co-operative
marketing, to enable farmers to hold
their crops for rradual sale in the
effort to stabilize prices, is another
plan emphasized. He also opposes
the issuance of tax exempt securi
ties. Combats Howell Ideas.
If the paths of Mr. Davis and of
R. B. Howell ever cross, a most in
teresting debate might result. With
out indulging in any direct refer
ences, Mr. Davis is combating the
ideas of the manager of Omaha's
municipal utilities.
"I am against municipal, state or
national ownership," Mr. Davis de
clares. "I am definitely opposed to
public ownership of all railroads, or
of half of the railroads. As it is now,
many localities secure a great part of
their taxes from the railroad lines
passing through them. To nationalize
these lines would throw the entire
burden of taxation on the residents
of these communities. No private en
terprise can compete with a publicly
owned one so long as the publicly
ownec one is free from taxation."
, There- is a squareness about the
jaw of Attorney General Davis that
is correctly' read as indicating cour
age. He wants the people to know
where he stands, and he believes that
Irohibition is a real issue.
There are some parts of Nebraska
In which the wets are in the major
ity. Mr. Davis takes joy in reading
the riot act there to violators of the
liquor laws.
Enforced Dry Law.
"Two thousand liquor prosecutions
have been carried on by my office,"
he begins. "Several local officials
have been removed for failure to do
their duty in prohibition cases. One
of the reasons for trouble in en
forcing the hw is that so many men
elected to office are politically dry,
but personally wet.
"Just in proportion as you scoff at
r violate the prohibition act, just
o you strike at good government
nd all law," he continues.
"There is no more dangerous cit
izen than he who is encouraging or
i abetting the violation of the dry
laws. In one of the countries where
I spoke a few days ago, I saw a card
that had been passed out by a can
didate for sheriff. He had printed
there the statement that he believed
there were some laws which vio
lated the constitution and which
ought not to be enforced.
"A phenomenon in many counties
js the large number of candidates
for the office of sheriff. In one coun
ty, in the northern part of the state,
there are 10 republican candidates
and five democrats. Two of these
are rumored to be bootleggers. In
another' county the sheriff was asked
why there are so many men compet-
ing to fill his position.
' 'I don't know,' he said humorous
ly, 'unless it is-about the only place
a man can be sure of getting a
drink.' "
Discusses Home Problems.
Some drys out in the state claim
that lax enforcement of the prohibi
tion law is being promised by some
county candidates. There are many
places where interest in fights for
county offices is keener than for
state or national ones. In some of
these the issue of lower taxes is to
the fore. The realization has come
that most of the burden of taxation
is that imposed by local rather than
state expenditures.
As Mr. Davis says to his hearers,
some of the questions he discusses
are not strictly those with which a
United States senator has to deal,
but simply those which good citizens
must think about. He has prepared
a nonpolitical address entitled "The
Church and the Law," which he has
already delivered from the pulpits of
churches of various denominations in
North Platte, Beatrice, Gothenburg
and Lincoln.
Race, creed and class feuds, he
holds, drive a spear at the heart of
good government On national issues,
today, he registered opposition to the
league' of nations and to cancellation
of the allied debt to' the United
States.
At the close of his remarks ap
plause never fails. He steps into his
car and is off for the next town.
