Director for National Commit
tee Commends Organiza
tion of Students.
The Nebraska State Central La
Follette and Wheeler committee com
mends the students on the formation
f TaTflllette and Wheeler cub in
a letter to James J. McCarthy, jr.,
from Frank A. Harrison, regional di
rector for the national committee. He

dential campaign as seen by the com
mittee. The letter follows:
"James J. McCarthy, jr.
Secretary University LaFollette and
Wheeler Club,
Lincoln, Nebr.
My dear Mr. McCarthy:
I wish to congratulate yourself
and your associates on the formation
of vour new club, and to say 1 win
take pleasure in calling the attention
of Senator LaFolette himsell to your
movement.
"The great issue in this campaign,
and in all recent years, is to bring
the crovernmetit back to the people.
j We are now confronted with a great
er orgy of dishonesty and official cor
Jruption than ever before, and the
only check this year must be at the
ballot box. To endorse what has oc
mrred in official circles at Washing
ton is to place more firmly upon the
people the shackles of corruption.
T ktit vnnr rlnb will do its
part in the campaign and that it will
grow bigger and bigger us election
day approaches.
' Yours very truly,
Frank A. Harrison,
Regional Director for the La Follette

HEAR SMOOT
National Organizer of Political
Groups Scores Old Party
Candidates.
LA FOLLETTE-WHEELER
CLUB BRINGS SPEAKER
Declaring that the candidates of
both the old parties represented the
large business interests of the nation
and that the only hope for the com
mon people was in voting for Rob
ert M. LaFollette for president, Wil
liam Smoot, national organizer of La-
Follette-Wheeler clubs, spoke to a
meeting of the University Larollette
Wheeler Ciub and citizens that near
ly filled the Temple theater Monday
evening.
Mr. Smoot. who was a member of
the Industrial Council during the
war, was especially displeased with
the manner in which the railroad and
tariff questions had been handled by
had forced the government to pay
the republican and democratic par
ties. He claimed that the railroads
them dividends on more than nine
billions of watered stock.
"Of the four billions collected in
tariff revenues under the McCumber
bill only one billion went to the gov
ernment. The other three billion do-
lars went into the pockets of the
manufacturers who control the gov
ernment," Mr. Smoot declared. "The
tariff cost each family over ?350
each year."
Declaring that the government had
lost its constitutional character and
had become the organ of big business,
Mr. Smoot called upon every man
and woman to register and exercise
his vote in the coming election.
Preceding Mr. Smoot s address,
the organization of the Lancaster
countv. of which Franklin J. Potter,
president of the University LaFoll-
ette-Wheeler Club, is chairman, was
completed.
Mr. Potter announced that the
University LaFollette-Wheeler Club
would meet Tuesday evening in Law
202. Either Mr. Smoot or Mr. G.
Bruno, editor of Pierson's Weekly
and representative of the LaFollette
Speaker's Bureau,. will address the
students. The executive committee
of the organization will be complet
ed at that time.
Mr. A. L. Patterson, also an or
ganizer of LaFollette-Wheeler clubs,
told the meeting of the necessity of
organization even down to the last
detail. It was the strong organiza
tion of the old parties, he said, that
made them so strong.
