HARD FIGHT MADE BY “PROS” Meetings Held and Newspapers En-| listed, but Vainly. HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING LOST Proposition Included $315,000 Bonds for New Structure, $100,- 000 for Park and $30,000 for Sewers, (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb, July L—(Special)—Llhe defeat of the bond issue here yesterday has called forth many explanations of the vole cast. The proposed bond issuo in- cluded 315,000 for a high schoo! building, $100,000 for the extension of Antelope park and the purchass of Lincoln park, and 0,000 for the extension of the sewer system. Lincoln never witnessed a harder fight for & proposition than was put up for favorelle action on the bonds. For wecks @& crowd of boosters had been holding meetings in the churches, preaching “‘save the children,” the “duty of mothers,” and “a bigger Lincoln.” A big mass picnic Was held at Lincoln park which was addressed | by an Imported city beautifier, Horace Mc- Farland, & relative of one of the boosters: | The newspapers d instanices to those who something in oppositicn to the bond lssuz. The bounel‘l, who controlled & meeting held &t the Commercial club, denied speech to several who were known to be in oppo- eition to the proposition., Then as a final blow the papers announced that the fizht was between the “wets” and the “drvs, and those who opposed the bonds were “wets."” The boosters had the lower floor of the Ganter bullding for a headquarters and eonducted the fight from there. . The explanation offered for the vote by the morning paper here said it was dué to the “‘wets" being “sore” because saloons were voted out. The Star sized up those Who voted against the bonds in this wa “Note who are knocking on the bond vote. Are thev not the chronic kickers, the tax dodgers, the grumblers, the men who have lost the rent of some shanty - for saloon purposes, the men who hold their residence in some other town to avoid city taxes or the men who said the town was going to the dogs because it abollshed sa- loons and who want thelr prophecy to come true?

Of the $100.000 park bonds, $50.000 was to be uged In an exténsion of Antelope park, and as much as necessary of the other §0.- 00 Was to be used for the purchase of Lin- coln park. The general impression pre- | valled, and with some reason, that the “as much as necessary’' meant $45,000 for Lin- | coln uark. This park is frequently flooded and rendered unfit for park or other pur-| poses. Some time ago, when Dr. Winnett established a smallpox camp‘ there, it raingd and it became necessary for the pa- tients to be removed in beats. This land was formerly_owned by former Chief of | Police Cooper and he used if solely to get his lce supply. He sold it for $,500 to its “present owners, or (o thosé who sold it to the present owners.
