Leader's Candi dacy by Nebraskans. Lincoln, Neb., April 7. Claude H. Wilson, prominent attorney of Lincoln, today announced support of Pershing for president, and ad vocated endorsement of the gen eral's candidacy by Nebraska republicans. "Nebraska has been honored greatly by Pershing," said Mr. Wil son, "and we should not fail in this opportunity to honor him by pre senting his name to the republican convention. I cannot believe that Nebraskans will falter in the sup port of the candidate of their own state." Following is Mr. Wilson's state ment: "I am expressing my preference for Pershing of Nebraska chiefly because I have faith in his adminis trative 'ability. No one can logical ly say that Pershing is not qualified as an administrator, diplomat and statesman, for the presidency. On the contrary, he has given greater proof of his ability in these lines than any of his opponents. "There is no doubt that Pershing would appreciate fully the" honor conferred upon him by his home state, by a unanimous endorsement at the primaries, and it is entirely fitting that we, as fellow Ne braskans, should unite in conferring that honor. "We cannot overlook the fact that Pershing is 'Pershing of Ne braska' before the voters of the United States, and we may profit ably reflect on how the other states of the union will scorn Nebraska if she fails in support of her own son, or how they will recognize Ne braska and respect her action if she follows the course of a loyal state in granting overwhelming support to a loyal son. I hope Nebraska will do her full duty and give to Pershing an overwhelming endorse ment for the republican presidential nomination at the primaries." Highjack Lemon Extract. Lincoln, Neb., April 7.

He entered the Anderson grocery store, 245 South Eleventh street, and find ing no booze, looted the place of its entire stock of lemon and vanilla extract.
