The Germans have blown three Strasbourg bridges across the Rhine it was discovered today when a heavy fog which had obscured the river lifted. The people of Nebraska have always approved good state policy and government. By the same token, they have invariably re jected bad state policy and bad government. It was characteristic of the wisdom and watchfulness of Nebraskans that they over whelmingly rejected the recent Prohibition proposal. The voters looked upon Prohibition as bad government. The Committee is well aware that this election was no triumph . for the so-called "wets." It was a victory for good government. Many of the most active workers against the return of Prohibi tion were themselves total abstainers. The result was a victory for the traditional common sense and practical judgment of our people . . . a victory all Nebraskans can be proud of.
