Bryan Loses As
Lincoln Mayor
By 4 to 1 Vote
Commissioners Name Zehrung
As Chief Executive While
Crowds Outside Hall
Clamor for Bryan.
Lincoln, Neb., May 10. (Special
Telegram.) As hundreds stood in
the hallway of the city hall Monday
afternoon shouting, "We elected
Bryan for mayor, we want you to do
the same," the Lincoln city commis
sioners behind locked doors voted,
4 to 1, fop Frank C Zehrung for
mayor. The one vote for Charles
W. Bryan for mayor was cast by
Bryan himself.
Prior to the vote taken by the com
missioners. Bryan reviewed the re
cent election, pointed to political
meetings at which he and Zehrung
were introduced as candidates for
mayor and then pointed to the vote
for Zehrung and the vote for him
self. Zehrung was low man with a
vote of 3,900. Bryan's vote was
4,600, more than half of the total of
9,000 votes cast,
"Both of us declared openly we
were candidates for mayor and the
vote clearly indicates which of us
the people wanted," Bryan said.
Continuing, Bryan pointed to the
issues. He advocated a municipal
coal yard and a municipal ice plant.
"The people voted against the or
ganized greed of these interests and
now what will you do?" Bryan asked.
At noon the city hall was crowded
with men and women anxious to wit
ness the election of a mayor. They
stood patiently in the stuffy hallway
until 4 o'clock, when the word, was
passed out that the meeting was be
ing held behind locked doors in the
mayor's office. Then, they began
shouting for Bryan.
The final outcome of the Lincoln
election caused state-wide concern
among democratic politicians. Hitch
cock democrats were understood to
1)C heartily in favor of Zehrung's
election, fearing that the selection of
Bryan might cause trouble in the
coming senatorial combat. Bryan
stated tonight that he probably
would resign in a short time. Fol
lewing the election ot Zehrung, the
other four commissioners appointed
Bryan, commissioner of streets.

Omaha Lad Accused
Of Passing Spurious
Checks in Sioux City
Sioux City, May 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Carl Adamson, "alias James
Hamilton, 17, of South Side, Omaha,
has been arrested here on the charge
of passing several bad checks.
At a hardware store Saturday it is
alleged Adamson ordered a lawn
mower sent to a blind address and
paid for the machine with a check
made out to him and signed Hamil
ton. He then ordered, at a furniture
store, a baby carriage, to be delivered
to another address. In each case the
check tendered in payment was
drawn for several times the value of
the article purchased. Adamson en
dorsed the checks and pocketed the
change.
Today Adamson returned to the
same hardware store he had visited
Saturday and was about to buy a
garden rake when the police arrived
in response to a summons by the
clerk, who recognized the customer.
When the store delivery wagons
had taken the articles purchased Sat
urday to the addresses given they
found nothing but vacant lots. An
investigation showed the checks to
be worthless.

Nonpartisans
Start Move to
Repeal 3 Laws
League and Labor Men Seek
Referendum on Anti-Pick-eting,
Registration and
Bank Statutes.
Lincoln, May 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Circulation of referendum
petitions on three laws passed by
the recent legislature will start to
day, it was announced last night
by C. A. Sorenson, secretary of the
Nonpartisan league, following a
meeting of party .leaders and labor
leaders from Omaha at a Lincoln
hotel. The three bills drawing fire
from the league are:
The anti-picketing bill.
The state-wide registration bill.
That portion of a bank bill which
gives discretionary power to the de
partment of trade and commerce to
decide when there is a public neces
sity for granting a license to a new
bank.
It takes signatures of 5 per cent
of the total vote on governor at
the last election to insure a referen
dum. If 10 per cent is obtained the
law automatically is repealed until
after the referendum. A total of
40,000 signers represents the 10 per
cent.
"We have 2,000 men to start
circulation of petitions as soon as
they are ready," Sorenson said, "and
we shall endeavor to get 10 per cent,
as that will make the laws inopera
tive, no matter what the results may
be, until after election."
The leaguers object to the state
wide registration as that breaks their
strength in the country where it is
declared leaguers, under the cloak
of republicans or democrats, get
elected and the new law which
forces farmers to register will make
it impossible for league farmers to
call for democratic or republican
ballots. They must register their
political affiliation when the pre
cinct assessors call on them.
The leaguers object to the anti
picketing bill because the labor
unions don't want it and A. J. Dono
hue, president of the Central Labor
union, J". N. Gibb, president of the
Building- Trades union, and A. S.
Bigelow, labor union attorney, all
from Omaha, were present at the
meeting with a request to put this
bill in the referendum list. The
leaguers object to the discretionary
