LINCOLN BUSINESS MEN
ARE AGAINST REMOVAL
, Besides the opposition or
Morehead to the proposed removal of the
University of Nebraska to the state farm,
there will be a distinct opposition to the
movement from some of the business men
of Lincoln, according to members of tho
Douglas county delegation to the state
legislature, who are spending a few days
In Omaha. They say many of the Lincoln
business men are going to lobby against
the removal and will use their Influence
to whatever extent they can on tho Lan
caster county delegation. They are mak
ing the plea that the young men who
work their way through the university
would be at a disadvantage it the Insti
tution were moved to tho state farm
Just outside the city limits.
Most of the Douglas county delegation
wlU spend today in Omaha. They came
over Thursday evening or Friday morn
ing, taking advantage of the adjournment
until Tuesday.

his predecessor in tho war ministry, M.

Premler Polncalre himself admitted t
that hud the minister of war conferred
with him ho could not have seen his way
clear to ratifying tho ro-lnstatement of
