Nebraskns: Be True to Nebraska
Candidates and speakers from outside the state, be
seeching Nebraska votes for one or the other of the non
Nebraskan candiates for president," have extolled the
v merits of themselves or of the candidate whose caus$
they champion. One candidate from California, the
other from New Hampshire. We have even had a Cali
fornian telling us why- we should not vote for the man
from his home state. - -
But, and here U the vital thing: Neither of these men
has given any reason whya Nebraskan should not vote
for a citizen of Nebraska.
Not a word of criticism has been uttered against John
J. Pershing. His attainments and qualifications are
not only unchallenged but have won the highest of ad-
miration and praise. , , "
To Nebraska voters he is commended with confidence -because
of his established ability in all things that gr
to -make a leader of men and for which the people seek
when choosing a president. In addition to this, he is a
citiezn of this state. . , ' ,
" Can- anyone give a .reason why a republican should ,
vote for an outsider in preference to the man from home.
Republican voters of Nebraska, men and women : Use
your common sense ; be loyal to your state ; vote for John '

TRADE BODY NOT

Supreme Court Declares Pow
ers Sought by Trade Com
mission Beyond Power
Of Congress.
Washiirgton, April 19. The su
preme court of 'the, District of Co
lumbia ruled today, that the federal
trade commission was without au
thority to enforce its order requiring
monthly reports of production costs
from coal mine companies and, other
industries. -
In granting application ' of the
Maynard Coal company of Ken
tucky and Ohio for an injunction to
restrain ,he commission from pro
ceeding to collect a penalty of $100
a day foe every day of failure to re
port, Justice Bailey declared that the
powers the commission sought were
"vast- and unprecedented," and be
yond the province ol congress to
convey. The court's decision affects
virtually every mining and iSanu
facturing company in the country, if
wa ssaid tonight, by corporation
lawyers.
Justice Bailey held that if the busi
ness of the concern rom which
product cost reports were demanded
was entirely in interstate commerce,
th$ committee's claim of authority
mighe be valtf, but that if the May
nard case the commission obviously
was demanding information from a
company whise business was both
1 intra-state and interstate.
J. S. Foster, general counsel, for
the National Coal association de
clared in a statement that the de
cision was far reaching.
"if the contention of the commis
sioTi had been sustained," he said,
"it would necessarily follow that the
commission had the right to require
not only such detailed reports of
cost of production which ship any
portion of (he products or articles
in which they deal in interstate com
merce and would force all such com
panies to report in dctnil every item
of cost and profit, as well as their
financial condition,"

General Pershing Certain

A
Says StatevGommittee Head
Mark W. Woods Predicts Lead, Over Jliram Johnson
' Which Will Surpass TotalVote for Wood Size
of Majority Depends Only on Number of Voters
; . Who Turn Out to the Polls. '
Lincoln, Neb., April 19. (Spe
cial.) John X Pershing will carry
Nebraska and the size of his lead
depends only upon the .number of
voters who turn out tomorrow,
Mark W. Woods, chairman of the
Pershing-for-Presidcnt club, de
clared in a statement given out to
day. "A definite trend toward General
Pershing which" set in a wepk ago
now makes victory certain," Mr.
Woods said. "There is a possibility
that his Jead over Hiram Johnson
will be more than the total vote of
Major General Wood. We arc
making no claims that exceed
demonstratable facts.
"General Pershing will poll 85 per
cent of the woman's vote v in Ne
braska, anil has behind him the ma
jority of the ex-service men, the
business men's vote, lanor and farm
ers. It is an unbeatable combina
tion - '
Realize Marvelous Possibilities.
"Reports from all over the state
indicate that Nebraska is just be
ginning to realize the marvelous pos
sibilities of the Pershing candidacy.
Throughout the country it is becom
ing increasingly evident that the
Chicago convention will see in Per
shing the republican party's great
est asset and nominate himv This
feeling has grown skice General Per
shing's definite promise to make the
race if given the Nebraska delega
tion to the Chicago republican con
vention, i . .
"General Pershing's position in
Nebraska is absolutely' impregnable.
His cause has moved forward with
out slump or reverse. Farmers in
Nebraska are for him because Persh
ing knows the needs of a distinctly.)
I TT f M
commercial siaie. nis grasp oi in
dustrial conditions and understand
ing of business problems commend
him to the business man. His ut
terances ' in appreciation o the la
boring man's part in war and in
peace make him strongywith labor.
His experience as .an executive of
the Moros and the A. E. F. is con
vincing as to. his ability.
Advocates Virile Americanism,
"General Pershing believes in con
stitutional government and virile
Americanism. He believes no class,'
color or creed should be discrimi
nated &gaist. We fe4- confident
that General Pershing will eirter the
Chicago convention with a following
so substantial, so loyal and signifi
cant in its nature that he will be
nominated. '
"No man will have a majority
when the Chicago convention opens,
bui if the people, of Nebraska, give
Pershing an overwhelming majority
he will possess such strength that
his nomination wfll be inevitable. It
is up to the people of Nebraska to
say whether they, want their son, in
the White House. ,
"There is just one final word to
friends, of General 'Pershing. Go to
the polls, and stay tkeVe until the
vdtcs have been cast. Sec that the
friends of General Pershing vote.
Let's astound, the nation, at the size
of Pershing's majority. A true ex

that it canot assume the mandate
