(From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept- 25. (Special.) The nonpartisan movement among the farmery, and others ofNebraska is not getting very far, according to i well known organizer for the farm era' union who has been in Lincoln for a few days. . . According to this man, the effort to have the farmers' union endorse the new movement is not advancmar, He says the farmers' union was or ganized and one of its fundamental principles was to keep out of the political game so far as its members running for office. On the other band the one great object in the non partisan organization is' running for othce. The two cannot mix any more than oil and water will mix.v The farmers' union is interested in politics just so far as getting the right men into office, but it reserves its privilege of selecting the men from the nominations made by the political parties. Should neither of the can didates for an office be acceptable, the union might then select a man, but that would be looked upon as a sort of emergency proposition. The nonpartisan .movement in the 1 Dakota's has not panned out in the way its promoters desired -it-to in that a legislature elected and controlled by the nonpartisan party was unable to do anything. Many of the laws passed were unworkable and one cf the most important laws passed by one of the legislatures of those states was so crude and impossible that a governor elected as a nonpartisan candidate was forced in the interests of the state to veto the bill. Request to Equip Guards - Brings Storm of Protest Columbus, Neb., Sept. 2S.i(Spe cial.) The county board and the city council have been asked to make an appropriation to assist in equipping the home, guards. As a result the proposition has met with a storm of protest fronvKed Cross leaders m Columbus. Their disapproval is so -great that a committee of Red Cross workers have called upon Mayor Ker senbrock and other city officials re monstrating against this action on the part of the city. 1 They also state their intention of making a like pro test to the county board. "If Platte county and the city of Columbus have any extra money, let them make an appropriation to the , Red Cross where -it will do the most good," said a prominent Red Cross worker today. "Appropriating money for equipping trie home guards is a useless expenditure of money and in extremely bad taste 'in view of the recent appeals from the state and gov ernment foryconservation," she con tinued. ''In order to provide for the comfort af our .own boys' who wl soon- b"$ m the trenches, Red Cross si workers throughout t,he' county have I been forced toMhe necessity of ac cepting dimes and nickels. In order to raise money for the yarn fund, Columbus ' workers were :-recently forced to give a, pavement dance, Pos sibly the dance was not the proper thing, but under the circumstances, what are we to do? The money must be raised, and raise at once. "Besides, what is the use of equip ping the home guards with uniforms and guns?", she asked. "It is the rankest kind of foolishness and we protest against such a useless expen 1 diture of money. The Red Cross "needs money far more than the home guards need uniforms."
