(Special.) -The Washington Times prints the following' today: j "Charactericzing the move as a confession of weakness and .- one liable to still further reduce his vote inthat state, political Washington today was interested Sri another change in the plans of General Leon ard Wood's campaign which was re vealed by Wood's sudden entry into Nebraska after apparently having given up the fight there. On all sides it was looked upon as a move born of necessity to save the Wood cause after his disastrous route in Illinois. "At the capitol it was said that the loss of Nebraska would put Wood out of the running and his advisors, evidently nonplussed at the reports 1 that Pershing is certain to carry Ne- '- braska, with Johnson second, have! determined that Wood shall go to i Nebraska and by his presence there attempt to turn Jhe tide. ; "Nebraska was the big topic in all i corcles here today. Hiram Johnson has just finished a tour of the state which drew good crowds. General Pershing has made a dignified State ment that he would take the repub lican nomination if Nebraska gave him its vote and the convention called him and now Wood is on his way there without the special train - which injured his cause with the Illinois and Michigan voters." $1 Gas or Get Another. , Man for Job, Mayor Of Omaha Aserts Weekly State Newspapers Almost a Unit in Stand For.

Mayor Smith vesterday suggested that if R. B. , Howell, manager of the Metropolitan water plant, is un able td provide the city w'th gas at $1 per 1,000 feet that the water board might better employ W. H. Taylor, present manager of the gas plant His suggestion was a reply to the statement issued by Mr. Howell on April 6 to show ttoat the present net gas rate of $1.15 per J.000 would have to be increased under munici pal management. "If, tjie city had been operating the plant during the past three months and received the 'same reve nues and paid the same operating expenses, together with interest on $4,500,000 in bonds at 5 per cent, it -tfould have shown a net revenue of $9.V90" Mayor Smith declared. "This would indicate that the city i. can operate the plant at present rates t and cost of materials and make a ha.ittsome profit. f Bluffs Motormah's Wife Bound Over On $2,000 BonoM Mrs. Vina Pullen, wife of W.

The name of the "other woman" was not revealed in the preliminary Bearing. The Nebraska weekly press is for General Pershing, an examination of current issues of weekly newspa pers shows. A wide variety of rea sons why Nebraska should give its vote to its greatest citizen are cited. A few of the exchanges taken at random give their views as follows: Bertrand Independent: Shall Nebraska Support Tershing? This paper is no tmuch for party politics, but since we have the oarrv system and candidates must be nominated that way, we believe it would be he proper thing for Nebraska republicans to give their solid support to a man who stands -as the state's most illustrious citizen today Gen. John J. Pershing. ' We have looked, 'the situation over, and cannot see how any other choice is justified if Ne braska people are possessed of a normal state pride. John J. Pershing is one of the nation's foremost citizens, and surely lie is an honor to Nebraska and his state should delight in honoring him. . ' While General Pershing has achieved distinction throughout the world as a great military leader, he is not a military man in the usual offensive sense of that term. He is not the kind of a man who, as the nation's chief ex ecutive, would ever seek to fasten militarism upon the country as a policy. Though a soldier, his ideas are all in the opposite direc tion from that of building up a burdensome military system. Nebraska's candidate, therefore, is not only a man creditable to the state because of his high ability and capacity, as proven in many positions of large responsibility, but he is a safe man along lines that appeal to the great majority of our citizens. Whv shouldn't Nebraska sup port Pershing, and do it with a will at the primary election, now close at hand? Havelock Post: Some years ago when Lincoln had a candidate for the presidency in the person of a democrat, the slogan was "Stand up for Lincoln." Again there is use for the slogan in the candidacy of General Persh ing. The prevailing voice again is "Stand up for Lincoln and Ne braska and vote for-Pershing." s Harvard Courier: If half the reports are true that we read in the papers .these days there is no doubt but that the sol dier boys are turning for Pershing for President. Why shouldn't they be? No man could i have filled that position to the complete satisfaction of all, but Pershing seems to have filled it about as good as could have-Jjeen expected, and he had some wonderful high ideals as . to the morale of the army. This alone is worth more than anything else. It looks now as if Pershing was in. the race, and if he receives the nomination he will be our next president. Meadow Grove News: At the state primary to be held on April 20 we have definitely de cided to support Nebraska's candi date in the person of General Pershing. Should we not have ' pride enough to support our candi , date regardless of party if filia tion s? , Central City Republican: General Pershing has demon strated beyond a doubt his fitness to occupy the presidential chair. Sterling Sun: Nebraska is going to be a ter rible disappointment to smug poli ticians, for it is going to' give Pershing a big majority. Havelock Timet:' Geieral John J. Pershing is, in our opinion, sure to receive the endorsement of the republican party of Nebraska at the primary on April 20. Of the many repub lican candidates in the field, Gen eral Pershing stands head and shoulders above the rest. Though not a politician, he is a finished , diplomat, as was shown in the manner in which he disposed of the many delicate problems he was called upon to settle in France. , ' Waverly Watchman: ' Theodore Roosevelt first drew the people to him by the force of his physical energy. There is a spring in the Pershing step, a manifestation of perfject health in his every gesture that is a re minder of Roosevelt. The nation needs a well man in the White house. Raymond Review . ;. , Now, really, don't you jthink when you have a choice between Pershing of Nebraska, Wood of N Hamnshire and Tohnson of California, you would take Persh ing of Nebraska, and Pershing was the man who put over the5 biggest enterprise in which America ever engaged. Gering Courier I I'm going to vote for Pershing because he is a Nebraska man and that's a mighty good reason, too. California and New Hampshire are both too far away. That's why so many voters .are going to spilt the distance and vote for Black Jack Pershing. Ft. Calhoun Chronicle: John J. Pershing of Nebraska handled with 100 pet cent efficien cy one of the biggest jobs the U. S TOP! -Don't buy a new suit or dress.

Pilger Herald: President. Pershing, peace, (pros perity, and production? How is that Tor a happy alliteration?. If Pershing carries Nebraska by, trie majority he ought to have, he will he nominated at Chicago. General John J. Pershing was a man with the brains and deter mination tov bring victory to American arms. And we will need brains aqd determination, law and order in the White House for the next four years. ' . Vtrdigree Citixen: Nebraska gave until it hurt for every war activity. We can still give John J. rcrshing to oe r resi dent without hurting either Ne braska or the nation. Sterling Sun: Andrew Jackson was elected President because he was the hero of the battle of New Orleans, and because he understood conditions in the then , western part of the country, which demanded that a man be chosen who knew its problems, Pershing will be elected president because in addition to beinga great leader, he tinder stands the problems of the West ern .farmer and is alive to the in terests of the JkVest. , ; , 'Have Root Press.
