Prohibition Turned Down Bv Nebraska Decisive Vote by the People of the State on the Proposed Dry Law OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 8. (UP) The proposed law to ' return prohi bition to .Nebraska went down to a' whacking defeat as voters better- ed pre-election estimates by rolling up a three-to-one' majority against it. : ; . i: , Anti-prohibition appeared general throughout the state. Returns from 1,38ft of the state's 2026 precincts gave: ' 5 Yes, 86,851; No, 258,636. I Distrust of the effectiveness of dry laws, resentme'nt 'against the proposal's presentation during war time( and apprehension over new or increased taxes 'to ' replace liquor revenues appeared to be responsible for the large plurality. The vote capped a bitter scrap. John B. Quinn, manager of the committee of men and women'again st prohibition, .had warned of an invading hoard of outstate boot leggers, operating under syndicate protection, if the .state went dry. Harold Br Wilson,1 head of ' Ne braska's Allied Dry Forces,1- re nounced an anti-prohibition petition signed by members of the 134th In fantry, and requested the war .. de partment institute court martial charges against its commanding of ficer, Col. Butler Miltonberger. Both Wilson and former Gov. Keith Neville, chairman of the anti prohibition committee, expressed satisfaction at the outcome. I Wilson claimed dry campaign ac tivities were intended to be educa tional and pledged support of exist ing regulatory laws.- "The people of Nebraska seldom make mistakes in their mass decis ions," Neville jubilated. "It is be yond the realm of possibility they would make the same mistake twice."

Fauquet on the operation of the office of the county judge. The talk was most in vesting, showing the various steps that are taken in the handling of estates in the court and the care and watchfulness that is necessary. Judge Fauquet also touched on the matter of child delinquency as many cases of this nature are brought be fore the county court. Judge Fau quet urged a greater interest in the home for the child and to place a restraint on the children being per mitted to find ! their own activities and associations. The program chairman was James G. Mauzy, who presented the guest speaker. - ' . ...

A total of 341,111 "votes were tal lied on the issue in 1,570 precincts as compared with the 379,641 count ed in the decision that Cornhu6kers be allowed to continue enjoying alco holic refreshment. The jres vote on the gasoline tax. amendment was 139,704. The prohibition yea .. vote was 94,351. The gas tax campaign appeared to have little of ; the bitterness ' which marked the struggle of The Drys vs. The Wets. Defeat of the amendment will continue the routing of one cent of every five, collected from taxes on gasoline, to state assistance. BACK THE ATTACK WITH BONDS i LI V7? Judge Diinbar Is Elected By Very Large Vote Prespnt Disrtict Judee Finds Large Support in all Counties of the District j A great deal of interest has been ' attached to the race for judge of the district court in which Judge Thom as E. Dunbar, of Nebraska City, the appointee to the bench by Governor Dwight Griswold, was a candidate for the election and had as his op ponent John L. Mattox, Nebraska City attorney. I The candidates have been visiting the various counties of the district !and Judge Dunbar has found a warm support among the members of the bar of the district. J The total vote in Cass, Otoe and ' Sarpy county showed Dunbar, 12,644 and Mattox, 4.008 and the several counties voted as follows: Cass county Dunbar, 4,217, Mat tox, 1,520.

Olsen went back to his bus boy job at the Martin-Nebraska bomber plant today, soundly defeat ed in his bid for the democratic gov ernorship of Nebraska. ' The stubby gray-haired, Danish- born Olsen, who based his non-ap-1 pearance campaign '6n the" assertion that he could square a circle, trailed the democratic state ticket In losing to Gov. Dwight Griswold; republican, who won a third' term. ' The gubernatorial vote from 1390 of ' the state's '2,026 precincts gave:; Griswold, 264,100; Olsen, 84.72S. GrisWOld's plurality ' was expected to rise" with tlie receipt of each new batch of votes from outlying pre cincts'. ' ' i1 : ' ' '' ' ' Olsen, who campaigned "by delug ing Omaha newspapers men-- with mathematical formulae . attempting to prpve his i circle-squaring stunt. ceased watching returns at 11 o' clock ia3t night and went to his hotel room at Plattsmouth, 20 miles from Omaha, and went to bed. 'I'm not conceding anything," Olsen said. "Election returns do not interest me tonight any more than they did on April 11 ,in the pri mary returns." (He won the nom ination by 374 votes in anapathetic primary to climax 32 years of cam paigning for a half dozen offices.) ; He said he wanted 10 get his "regular night's rest" so that he could resume his work "helping build B-29 bombers.

There was even a chance t'aat final counts would leave Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, defeated Republican candi date, with fewed than the 10 states and 82 electoral votes which Wendoll L. Willkie captured four years ago. For, with Ohio and Michigan still a tossup, the Roosevelt "win added up like this late Wednesday: For Mr. Roosevelt: 35 states with 413 electoral votes.

Dwight Griswold was overwhelming ly reelected to a third term in lead ing the entire state republican ticket to victory in Tuesday's election. The proposed prohibition law, placed on the ballot by initiative peti tion, was soundly defeated. Only a handful of counties of the state's 93 supported the proposition that would make Nebraska bone dry. The gasoline tax amendment to the constitution that would segre - gate all gas and motor vehicle taxes for the purpose of constructing, re pairing, and maintaining public highways and "for no other purpose whatsoever," also was defeated. 1 All incumbent republican congress men were returned to office.

Mrs. Gillespie had counted on a heavy vote , in normally democratic . Poug las county (Omaha). Instead, incum bent Buffett carried the county.. Gov. Griswold polled the largest vote in the state. This was attribut ed to the weakness of his opposition and his own popularity gained from long activity on the state political scene. His opponent, George W. Ol sen, Plattsmouth, made no campaign speeches nor public appearances, and confined his campaign to deluging Omaha newspapermen with mathe matical formulae attempting to prove his statement that he could square a circle. Gov. Dewey led the president of the state's electoral votes from the first return. The state long had been written off by tne democrats as a loss and his victory was not un expected. Chief Justice Robert G. Simmons running for reelection on the non- political ticket, was returned by a three-to-one vote over Paul Manhart.
