Elmer E. Thomas manager of the
Douglas county dry committee, and
prominently identified with the com
mittee of 300, charges the hyphen
ited World-Herald with .distorting
'political news in its issue of Saturday
morning, for the purpose of further
ing the candidacy of Governor Ne
ville, tailend member of the Hitch-cock-Mu!lcn-Neville
machine, which
tried to dominate the democratic

Not Dry Federation,
The Omha organ of the wet der.o
mts on Saturday 'morning, under
Lincoln date line, stated that circulars
bad been issued, ostensibly by the
Nebraska Dry federation, and m be
half of Charles W. Bryan as against
Neville for governor. The circular
In question was issued by the Anti
JSaloon league and part of its text is
a letter, dated May 24, 1918, denounc
ing the governor for alleged anti-prohibitory
politics. This letter was pur
ported to have been signed by the
Nebraska Dry federation, by W. T.
Thompson, president, and C. C Crow
tll and A. C, Epperson of executive
committee. - :
The circular includes this statement;
fDemocrats should nominate Charles
VV, Bryan, who is dry and will en-

force the law effectively." The cir
cular bears the name, of the Antl
Saloon league of Nebraska as its au
thor. It is noted in this connection that
the committee of 500 of Omaha in its
recent list of endorsements, made no
reference to gubernatorial recom
mendations. Mr. Thomas has asked The Bee to
publish the following as his reply
to the Hitchcock-Mullen-Neville or
gan, which was sent to the editor of
the World-Herald i
Thomas Sends Letter. '
i "Under the headline 'Bryan Cir
tular Fake," in this morning's paper,
tou have tried to make your readers
believe that a circular was falsely is
sued, showing that the Nebraska Dry
federation and Mr. W. T. Thompson,
its chairman, had endorsed Charles
W. Bryan's candidacy for governor.
You did not crint the circular, and
your readers do not know that it is
a circular gotten out by the Anti-Sa
loon league endorsing Mr. Bryan for
srovernor as against Keith Neville.
enclose copy of the circular in the
nope that you will print it ana let
your readers determine whether your
article is fair.
' "The Anti-Saloon league circular
endorsing Mr. Bryan for governor
does not represent that the Dry fed
eration or Mr. Thompson endorsed
Mr. Bryan for governor. It quotes
a letter under date of May 24th, which
carrier the names of Nebraska Dry
' federation by W.T. Thompson, presi
dent. Anti-Saloon league, and other
dry organizations of the state. While
that letter did not endorse Mr. Bryan
; for governor, it - did , condemn
Governor Neville and the wet legis
lature for refusing to ratify the na
tional prohibitory amendment, and for
having accepted the support of the
' German-American alliance at the last
election. This letter is set t out in
the Anti-Saloon league circular which
then goes on to recommend Mr. Bryan
and to condemn Governor Neville
because he defeated ratification an.
because he appointed men to enforce
the dry law who were known wets,
and because he received the endorse
ment of the German-American alli
ance and because he . favored per
mitting the brewers to make near
beer, and but recently announced him
self as against prohibition. . .

tion."
