WOMEN CANNOT
VOTE FOR EVERY.
STATE OFFICER!
Republican Women's Commit
tee Issues List of Constitu
tional Offices Eligible for-.
Feminine Ballots.
So much confusion has arisen. .in
the ranks of the newly fledgtd
women voters of the state over the
definition of the term "constitutional
officer" that the republican women's
committee, has issued a list of those
officers and also a list of the officers
created by the legislature.
Since the constitution of Ne
braska can only be amended by di
rect vote of the people and the leg
islature can only give the right
of suffrage for such offices as are
created by the legislature, the law.
which has given the right of suffrage
to Nebraska women refers only to
those offices created by the legisla
ture. Women, then, may vote for pres
idential electors, county attorney,,
county clerk, county assessors, clerk
of the district court, registrar -oL
deeds, county treasurer, county
sheriff, county superintendent of
public instruction, county surveyor,
county commissioners, public de
fenders, city commissioners, mem
bers of the Water board, members of '
the Board of Education, judges of
the municipal court and constables.

States senators, congressmen, gover-

CLARK INTIMATES
MOREHEAD PLAYS
BIPARTISAN GAME
State Democratic Gubernatorial
Candidate Frankly States
His Position.
Ralph Clark of Stella, candidate
for the democratic nomination for
governor with the support of the
Hitchcock organization, made a
frank statement yesterday of the pe
culiar circumstances surrounding
the candidates of himself and former
Governor Morehead.
Clark intimates that , Morehead
was playing a bipartisan game in
co-operation with Arthur J. Weaver
of Falls City, republican, and
changed his mind twice in a few
days times. He says:
Some Surprise Expressed.
"Some surprise has been expressed
to me by democrats because two
candidates for governor, namely,
Mr. Morehead and myself, are in
the primary contest from Richard
son county. This condition is pe
culiar and calls for an explanation.
"While I had cherished the am
bition to be governor of my state
some day, it was not my intention
to be a candidate this year because
my Richardson county fellow
citizen, Mr. Morehead, was regarded
as a candidate for governor by
myself and by miny friends of his
throughout Nebraska. So long as
Mr. Morehead had any intention of
being a candidate I was for him
and had no thought of entering the
race myself.
"For several months Mr. More
head had been urged by his friends
to run and petitions were filed and
it was generally understood and be
lieved that he would be a candidate.
Suddenly, on the day before the fil
ings for primary nominations closed.
Mr. Morehead positively declined
in writing to be a candidate. When
I learned of this, I ' immediately
filed as a candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for governor.
Further Frank Statement.
"In this connection I deem it but
fair to the loyal democrats of Ne
braska to make a further statement.
Arthur J. Weaver of Falls City, a
close personal and business friend
of Mr. Morehead, had been talked
of as a prominent prospect for the
republican nomination for governor.
Mr. Weaver's friends proposed the
elimination process by which all the
republican candidates were asked to
decline and leave the field on the
republican side to Mr. Weaver and
Governor McKelvie. Mr. More
head declined to be a candidate for
governor in the democratic primary
on the very day that the press
brought the news of Mr. Weaver's
probable success is eliminating the
other republican candidates aside
from Governor McKelvie. But the
other republican candidates finally
refused to be eliminated and Mr.
Weaver thereupon withdrew his in
tention to be a candidate for gov
ernor in the republican primary. To
my surprise, Mr. Morehead changed
his mind immediately after Arthur
Weaver had withdrawn and made
his belated filing as a candidate for
the democratic nomination.
"I am now in this fight to the end
and ask the support of all fair-minded
democrats who love their party
and are jealous of its honor."
FROST FAILS TO
WHOLLY DESTROY
NEBRASKA FRUIT
Blizzard and Freezing Tem
perature of Saturday and
Sunday Hurt Fruit, But
Not Irreparably.
Ktports of a total loss of the Ne
braska fruit and berry products as
the result of the blizzard and freez
ing temperatures which swept over
the state Saturday and Sunday were
declared "grently exaggerated" by
J. J. Smith, local fruit grower and
secretary of the Nebraska Fruit
Growers' association. The loss,
while heavy, Mr. Smith said, would
not be over 50 per cent.
Mr. Smith's estimate of the proba
ble damage done by the storm is
based on reports he has received
from throughout the state.
These reports indicated that tem
teratures ranging around 18 to 23
degrees had killed growing buds and

South Carolina Lady Suffered
Until She Couldn't Stay Up
or Go Anywhere. Tells How
Cardui Helped Her
Get Well.
Batesburg, S. C In telling how
she found relief from troubles that
had caused her much suffering, Mrs.
E. E. Oswalt, of this place, says:
"Each month I would begin to
suffer with my back and head. My
limbs would ache and I would chill.
I wouldn't be able to stay up, no
matter what I wanted to do, or
where I wanted to go. My people
tried giving me different medicines
and teas and tonics, yet I didn't
get any better.
"Some one told me of Cardui.
onJ I began to take it. 1 noticed it
helped me. I kept it up. After a
few months I didn't have any trou
ble. For about six months I used
it, before . . ..
"I found I was all right, and from
tl ?t day to this have never had any
trouble at this time. I have taken
it since, a bottle or two in the win
ter, especially when I have been
exposed, and would take a cold, for
I consider it the best thing a wom
an can take to tone up the system,
keep off nervousness, and increase
the appetite. ,1 certainly knowit
has been of great benefit to me."
If you are weak, nervous, or suf
fer from womanly troubles such as
Mrs. Oswalt mentions, take Cardui,
the Woman's Tonic.
All good druggists sell Cardui.
