Nebraska i BOARD IS PUSHING FAIR PREPARATION Nebraska Exposition Will Be Held, Strike or No Strike, Says Mellor. NOTE MANY BETTERMENTS (From u Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 1.—(Special.) — Everything is being rushed at the fair grounds preparatory to the opening of the big show next week. Secretary Mellor and his office force .moved from the state house this morning to the administration building. Telegrams have been coming in this morning asking about prospects jor the fair. The Nebraska fair will go on irrespective whether a strike is called and exhibitors of live stock will be taken care of in case they cannot get away after the fair closes. Improvements made during the summer at the grounds are very no- ticeable. Cement walks and cross- walks have added to the appearance of the grounds and the comfort of the visitors, while the new eating house erected in place of the old ones adds much to the appearance of the grounds. § The show will be held,-rain or shine, strike or no strike. Denial That Mayor Bryan Ever Said Brother Would Come (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 1.—(Special.) — Mayor Charles Bryan today, over his signature, calls down Chairman Lang- horst of the democratic state commit- tee for making a statement for pub- lication that W. J. Bryan would come to Nebraska and speak for the demo- cratic ticket, The mayor wants the people to understand that he did not tell Chair- man al.nghorst that Mr. Bryan would speak for Mr. Wilson, the candidates for congress and the United States senate and members of the state ticket, and that Langhorst had no authority to make such a statement. Mayoh Bryay wants it distinctly understood that he will not sand for any statements made by the state chairman regarding what Mr. Bryan is going to do and that he has no authority to make such statements. Thus the attempt of the democratic state committee to make the people think that the democratic path is smooth falls by the wayside.
