(From a Staff Corraapondsnt)
' Lincoln, Neb., July 14. (Special
; Telegram.) The progressive state
committee after a short executive ses
sion last evening passed the follow
. ing resolution offered by M. F. Stan
ley of Aurora, which was unanimously
-: adopted on roll call:
T "Resolved, that the state committee
of the progressive party in Nebraska
- hereby approves and endorses the ac
tion of the national committee taken
at Chicago June 26, 1916, whereby it
endorsed the candidacy ol the Hon.
Charles ErHughes for president, and
we recommend to all progressives that
they give him their loyal and hearty
support in the coming campaign.
The meeting was well attended and
harmonious to the fullest extent on
the adoDtion of the resolution.
F. P. Corrick presided and N. T.
Ifyorson was secretary.
Candidates Endorsed.
Bv unanimous action the- commit
tee endorsed the candidacy of A. L.
Sutton for governor, John L. Ken
nedy for the United States senate,
Addison Wait for secretary of state,
George W. Marsh for auditor and
W. A. Reynolds for state treasurer.
The , progressive candidates for
these offices had tendered their regis
nations, but for the other offices no
resignations had been received, and it
is probable that no acceptances have
been made. The executive committee
was empowered to act in the place
of the regular committee.
Wolz Nominated.
For presidential electors the same
course was taken as on the other of
ficials. In the Third district, H. Gor

to run and the committee nominated
George F. Wolz of Fremont, repub
lican elector from that district.
The party organization will be
maintained during the campaign, and
Chairman Corrick was instructed to
call the state convention according

Fight Against Sale.
Of Patent Medicines
(From t Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, July 14. (Special.) From
June IS to July 1, the state food de
partment ordered off sale in Nebraska
1,492 packages and bottles of patent
medicine goods which did not com
ply with the law as regards handling
and sale. '
"Nebraska is taking a lead along
these lines," said Commissioner Har
rnan, "and every court decision made
so far has been in accordance with
the policy of the department regard
ing unsalable goods. I propose to hold
the dealers responsible and the goods
cannot be sold in this state unless
they meet requirements.
"All dealers will be prosecuted, but
first given a chance to get the stuff
off their hands, either by sending it
back to the wholesaler or destroying
it. A whole lot of patent medicine is
being sold by druggists which will not
stand the test and while I shall prose
cute to the fullest extent, I shall give
them a chance to get the stuff off their
hands.
Driver of Automobile
Helped Victim to Hospital
(From Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, July 14 (Special.) It is
probable that no inquest will be held
over the death of Mrs. 1. v. Mem
men, which occurred last night from
being struck by an automobile.
The first report that the occupants
of the automobile had speeded up and
ffot awav were unfounded. On the
other hand, the party stopped and as
sisted in getting the woman to a hos
pital and the driver ot the car, Donald
Pettis, stayed at the hospital anxiously
waiting tor intormation asto her re
covery
This is the third death in the family
within a year, a son being drowned a
lew months ago and a daughter pass
ing away recently.
It is understood that no blame is
attached to the driver of the car for
the accident, as bystanders say the
car was going about en miles an hour
and Mrs. Memmen stepped in front
of it so suddenly there was no time
to stop.

Dasscd a ersolution not to endorse the

commissioner and Henry T. ClaVke

As to attornev general and the en
dorsement of R. W. Devoe, the re
publican candidate, it was left to the
executive committee to look into the
record of Mr. Devoe and if it was
shown that he had a good record
from the dry standpoint" it would
probably endorse him.
State Superintendent 1 nomas was
nominated at the primary as the pro
gressive candidate and so no en
dorsement of him is necessary .
