Majority of Two Would
Be Wiped Out.
WYMORE, Neb., April 20. (Special.)
At a specisl council .meeting a strenuous
effort wii made to have the votea on the
wet or dry question recounted. Adam Mc
Mullen appeared before the council and
gave his opinion lo the effect that the
council had a perfect right to recount the
rote In question. A resolution diving the
mayor power lo get the ballots and have
them recounted whi passed, two council
man voting for It. two against It, and the
mayor for it. Mayor Rawllngs Instructed,
the clerk to get the ballots and bring
them to tha council room, but Clerk Han
sen flatly refused to do so, and read . a
letter ha had racelved that day from the
city attorney. In which was the statement
that tha clark will be - liable to Indict
ment should he allow the ballots to be
tampered with. Thereupon Mayor Rawl
lngs took Night Watch Hatch and started
tooths First National bank, where the bal
lot are stored in the vaults. He returned
Ina few minutes and stated that the bank
reiusod to' t u f ii.1 the1 ballots : over to him.
H' promised to have the ballots at coun
cil' meeting next Wednesday night and
hate the. n loco idled then, and council
adjourned.
It Is highly probable that if the "drys"
of the city will not allow the votes on the
wet and dry question cast at the recent
city election to be recounted, saloon II
censes will be granted. An affidavit has
been filed With the .council by ona of the
clerks af election to the effect that he
tallied ona vote "against license" to make
his book tally with the other clerk. The
wet members of the council may take this
affidavit as counting for one wet vote,
which would make the whole vote a tie
as It now stands two majority for 4he
drys. ' The dry people do not want the
vote to be recounted and are fighting very
tard to prevent such procedure.

Daylight Rill -Dbplrun Water Fee

' Measure fSarrraor

i From a Staff Correspondent.)
IJNCOLX, April JO. (Special.) Neer
was a political party any more up In the
air over a question than Is the democratic
party at thfs time over, the temperance
question. The daylight saloon bill was
passed with the Idea that It would satisfy
tha temperance people of the state and
entice them Into the democratic party.
But the legislature, reckoned badly and
Governor Shallenberrer, who signed the
bill, has begun to reap the reward of the
man who goes back on his friends. Sun
day night the pulpits of Lincoln were oc
cupied by lay members of the various
churches, who dtscuesed the temperance
question. C. C. Flansburg, who Is the
head of the temperance forces In this sec
tion of the state, denounced the I o'clock
closing law as one that would prove un
satisfactory. He told the audience that
he 7 o'clock closing law had been unsat
isfactory In Lincoln and that It had not
curtailed the sale of liquor, but, on the
other hand, he said the statistics kept on
one saloon showed that the crowds which
went to Hie bar and boueht liquor Just
before the closing hour and carried it away
made the total sales equal to the sales
under the old rules. Consequently he gave
to Governor Shallenberger no credit for
signing the act the legislature passed.
To complicate natters for the democrats.
Richard L. Metcalfe has made a definite
statement of what he believes should be
the attitude of the democratic party In the
next campaign.
"The democratic party should declare fo
county option." said Mr. Metcalfe. "Per
sonally, I am opposed to state-wide prohibl
tlon, because It cannot be enforced, but '.
am In favor of county option, and if the
democrats are to be successful they must
declare for county option. TJie o'clock
law la a move in the right direction, but
It will not satisfy the peoplo who want
county option." 1
Arthur Mullen, Governor Shallenbergcr's
overlord. Is for the 8 c'clock closing law
and he believes the passage of that bill
by the democrats Is sll the party has to
do In the temperance line for many years
to come. It was His Idea thst the passage
of that measure would put the republicans
up against It, but the numerous knocks
coming In agalns the governor Indicate
the daylight bill is taken as a "sop" to the
temperance people and a double-cross to
the men who nominated and elected the
governor. '
When the democratic state convention
meets under the law It will have nothing
to do except name a .slate committee, but
the democratic leaders will get togethe
nd decide upon a course of action.
Metcalfe will Insist that the party should
oppose prohibition and stand for; county op
tion and other leaders of the party will
insist that the party should stand solely on
the I o'clock law.
Normal Board Not (taallg-ed.
Tho members of the new normal board
may be (constitutionally appointed and
the law may be good, but the members
of the board have certainly failed to
qualify as provided for In the bill and as
other officers have qualified in the past.
The law provides that the old board shall
serve until the new board is appointed
and qualifies. The new board met In the
office of the governor and organized, but
there has been no oaths duly signed and
filed with the secretary of state. Con
sequently the new board has failed to
qualify, as have the other state officers.
All the atate officers from the justice
of the supreme court down take an oath
of office and the same Is filed with tho
secretary of atate, but Mr. Mullen's new
normal board has overlooked or looked
dowA on thle custom so far. This over
sight, it is believed, still leaves the fkl
board In charge of the guns.
Ralstoa Case Poatpoaed.
The hearing of the Ralston rate case
has again been postponed until May 11.
This la the second time the case lias
been postponed owing to the Illness of
soma of those Interested in the mat
ter. Hearlag oa Rate Claaalflcatloa.
May 12 the railway commission will
hear arguments for and against the West
ern Traffic association's rate classifica
tion 44. Thla association geta out a
rate classification .about once In six
months and then the matter has to come
before the commission before the rates
may be enforced in Nebraska. The com
mission will notify the railroads and alao
the shippers of the coming hearing, so
that all Interested may be on hand to
offer arguments.
Separation of Receipt.
The State Railway commission met
with Edson Rich and Mr. Stebblns of
the Union Pacific today to discuss a
method by Which the railroad company
could divide its state and" Interstate re
ceipts and expenses and report them to
the commission. Mr. Rich informed the
commission his company was willing to
separate tha Items If the board would
suggest a way, but the company did not
feel like assuming the responsibility of
saying how the division should be made.
Another meeting will be held later

Although the new fire escape law says
that building of three stories or more must
be equipped with "one more fire escape."
Deputy Commissioner Maupin says he will
not- enforce it In the case of a building
this is. In his judgment, adequately pro
vided. But the Bureau of Labor Industrial
Statistics, which Is given the matter of
enforcing the fire escape law, will see to
It that buildings within the meaning of
the law are equipped. A number of Owners
of buildings have been notified to erect
escapes, and unless steps are soon taken
to obey the order and the law the deputy
commissioner will begin prosecutions.

Victor Wilton Sounds Call to Dem

torney General.
(Froiji a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 20.-(Bpecial.)-Victor
Wilson, several times spoken of as
democracy's next candidate for governor,
has broken Into the limelight by Issuing
a circular letter to the bankers of the
slate asking them to contribute to a fund
to employ lawyers to assist the attorney
general In upholding the legality of the
banking law passed by the late legisla
ture.
This Is the first time any one ever
started a fund to employ counsel to help
Attorney General Thompson try any case
though the legal department of the state
of Nebraska has won some of the most
notable victories of any state In the union
The action of Mr. Wilson, calls atten
Hon to the fact that the legislature ap
proprlated . $300 to employ. ,.in attorney to
draft the banking law and had there been
foresight Instead of hindsight In the mat
ter, the contract would have -contained
clause for the attorney to follow up the
work by establishing the constitutionality
of the law In the courts.
Mr. Wilson's action Is due to- the state
ment that the executive committee of the
.bankers' associaion has decided to fight
the law In the courts. In his appeal to
the bankers Mr. Wilson says:
rou nave aountless been made aware
of the fact through the press that the
executive committee of our state bank
ers' association Is fathering a gigantic
and bitterly hostile attack In the courts
upon the guaranty bank deposit law duly
enacted In pursuance of the people's ver
diet at the last election. I am not adverse
to, and on the contrary favor, the eary
settlement of the constitutionality of the
new legislation, but, I believe the con
testants of the, measure unequivocally de
manded by public opinion should conduct
themselves In a friendly rather than hos
tile spirit."
Mr. Wilson said the ablest counsel
money could employ would be hired to
fight the law. He issued his appeal, he
said, after a consultation with the gover
nor ana the attorney general, both of
whom endorsed his plan.
