Suchis tho state ment of Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, given to tho press Tuesday. Further VleWs. Mr. Dahlman oxprossed further views on tho University and Its fac ulty aB follows: , "If the peoplo of Lincoln- want to make it a unlvorsity town, it. is all right and thero will not be the slight est disposition throughout the state to support tho university, other than with liberal appropriations, but when the people pay their taxes to support the statesunlverslty thoy oxpect that those who attend and who are on the pay rolls will attend to business and not to politics, as the wholesale, interfer ence of tho unlvorsity professors and studonts in Monday's olectlon Indi cates that thoy did. . A University Town "Tho peoplo of a groat stato going; to tho capital from all the walks of life, from, all political parties and rep- resenting an laeas, expect to go to a city with metropolitan Ideas, and they are ontltled to havo such a city for tholr capital. But Lincoln, has dem onstrated that1 It is instead ya univer sity town, and, having chosen the uni versity, tho capital should go to an other, city, if for no other reason, - "Thoro aro plonty of centrally'' lo cated cities put" in the state that will gladly givo plenty of ground for the site of a new capitol building free of cost to the state, and when the new building, is put 'up the old capitol building at Lincoln can be turned, over to tho state university, without a cent of -loss to the taxpayers. The .'univer sity needs more buildings, anyhow, and surely tho Lincoln people will not object to anything that is 'done to help develop that great institution in thojr midst - 4 . .- "But the evil, offects of having the state capitol in a city filled with other state institutions Is apparent at air -times, especially when the legislature Is in session, and noticeably so 'on Monday. Lincoln has the state . uni versity, the state penitentiary, an asylum for the insane and a home or two besides .supported byf the state, and every time that the .legislature is in session the Lincoln friends of every body connected with all of these, in stitutions, and everybody from. whom they buy'supplles and ereryene else profiting from them iaii.-anywway -swarm down upon the legttattireand a big lobby is kept for Lincola free of cost to that city, hamming tae legislature at every tarn jlec bigger appropriations for the Ltacoln instl iutlons, greatly to tketdetrisaeat of the other state Institutions, located In other cities. The time has. aaqusstion ably arrived when the state capital should be separated from the imme diate influence of these. iasUtatioas." NsyeltlM it Pan-Hef.'
