Y THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 191.1. ( -VT Nebraska ' . v DRYS TRY JM EXPLIN IT .y Lincoln People Resent Outside Interference. BIGGER MAJORITY THAN BEFORE Action on Municipal OvrnrrnMn Not So Clcnr, but l"lKht llnd Dtconif UlinnxIniiH tu SInnr Pcnam. (From a Staff Correspondent.) MNCOL.N, May 7.-(8peclal.)-The dry forces and the Municipal Ownership league of Lincoln arc wondering this morning what hit them yesterday. After putting up one of the hardest and sup. posedly most thorough fights In the his tory of the city, the municipal league comes out of the fight with only one candidate to the good and he wins by only a small majority over his next con testant below, Representative Mockett. The majority in favor of saloons for the coming year Is about 831. Two years ago, when the last fight wns mode, the wet policy won by 605 The three wet candidates for members of the Excise board, Harry Porter, Will Jove 'and Nicholas Ress, have majorities ranging around the 1.000 mark. The business men's candidates for places on the commission under the new charter, Dayton, Henbley, Schroeder and Zehrung, won easily with- majorities ranging around 800, while O. J. King, one of the candidates of tt)e Municipal Own ership league, was the fifth man, with a vote over Mockett of 203. In the selection of departments over which the successful candidate will pre side, Zehrung will probably have charge of the executive branch. King of the police department, Schroeder of the 'water department, llensley of the streets nnd Dayton of the financial department Dayton Is the present city treasurer, while Schroeder and Hansley, as mem bers of the' out-going council, will hare charge of the water and street depart ments, with which they have looked nfter, while members of tho council. The reason for the town going so Btrongjy against the municipal ownership league candidates, Is laid to the fact that the fight was carried on to such an extent that It became obnoxious to many, whllo a dry advocate lays the result to the saloon fight to too much activity on tho part of the evangelist, who sold he "proposed to stay In Lin coln until he made the town dry." The butting In of outsiders, who made b. general attack on the morality of the city had something to do with It, ac cording to many, while the Saturday night dry meeting, in whlcT affidavits from prostitutes containing language of nn Indecent aharacter were read before a mixed audience composed of many young people of both sexes, is also claimed to have done the dry cause much harm.

BLATZ COMPANY 802-810 Douglas Street, Phontt Douglas 6662 Nebraska Oordeal Believes Lincoln's Action Settles Removal (From n Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 7. (Special.) Senator Cordeal left this morning (or his home In Red Willow fully convinced that there Is nothing really serious about the code Insurance bill that peiple need to worry over. In speaking of the city tltetlon yester day In Lincoln, the Red Willow states man said he thought that tho mutter of removal of the. state university had prac tically been settled by Lincoln giving such a strong majority for the saloons. "It means that Lincoln people have by a very strong argument, which cannot be controverted, said that thoy prefer the saloon to the uplvcrslty," said the senntor, "nnd tho people of the statf. looking upon the matter in that light, will speak In no uncertain language when they get a chance to express their prefer ence at the polls at tho next general elec tion when they will vote upon the propo sition of removal to the state farm. Continuing he said; "1 have found only one man since I returned .to my "homo who Is opposed to removal. Ho tukes a certain democratic paper published in Lincoln and has been reading some of tho stuff published therein about what It will cost to move the university to tho farm, and Is opposed to spending 3,000,000 for the removal. As soon ns ho gained a clearer knowledge of tho real conditions he promptly changed his mind, and It Is my opinion that ns far as the fanners and the people of the smaller towns are concerned tho, vote will be practically unanimous for removal to the stnto farm when the true facts are made known as to tho cost on the two propositions. The result of tho election in Lincoln yester day will place the mnttrr of removal to the stato farm beyond the question of a doubt."
