by people all over the country and
also greatly enjoyed. The sermon
which was delivered by the minister

discourse, and could not help but be
enjoyed by anyone who were fortun
ate enough to be listening in. The
chorus which was the product of the
choir, was very inspiring, and was
just like being in the building to
those whose radio was working well.
It is a good practice to have these
programs as many hear them whe
never darken a church door.

Miami, Fla., July 11. America's
Elks in session today voted to es
tablish a $20,000,000 trust fund for

Democrats Get
Organization All
Ready to Function
General Headquarters Probably Will
Be at New York Western Of
fice May Be at Denver
New York, July 12. After a
round table discussion of campaigr
strategy with Governor Smith, mem
bers of the democratic national com
mittee left for home tonight, deter
mined to lose no time in getting their
state and local organizations in full
steam operation.
For more than an hour in his
campaign headquarters at the Bilt
more, the presidential nominee dis
cussed the outlook with the com
mittee men and women, who yes
terday, at his suggestion, made John
J. Raskob, financial director of Gen
eral Motors, their chairman and en
trusted to him the management of the
campaign.
Raskob, who earlier in the day
had conferred with some of the com
mittee members was present unti
forced to leave to catch a train for
his summer home in Maryland, where
lie plans to spend the week end. In
attendance also was Herbert Lehman
the committe's new director of fin
ance. Senator Gerry of Rhode Island
who has been placed at the head of
the campaign advisory committee, and
George R. Van Namee. Smith's pre
convention manager, who is expected
to be in charge of eastern campaign
operations.
Robinson Not on Hand.
Senator Robinson, the vice presi
dential nominee, was not on hand
as he left for Washington during the
night.
Dates for the notification of both
the governor and his runnin mate
were not discussed, and it was in
dicated later that it probably would
be some days before they would be
fixed.
Committee members reported thai
the general opinion was that it would
be unwise to establish regional head
quarters in the south, as Senator Rob
inson has proposed. Representatives
from the "solid south" for the most
part felt that there was no chance
of losing any states in that section
Predictions were made by com
mittee that general campaign head
quarters would be here, rather than
in Washington, where the republi
cans will have their main base, and
the suggestion came from several
sources that Denver would be a gooc1
location for western headquarters.

nouncing his candidacy for re-election.
Senator Dill, democrat of Wash
ington, today declared his opposition
to the position of Gov. Alfred E
Smith on prohibition, but said he
agreed with the party leader's stand
on waterpower, farm and labor ques
tions. Senator Dill said that if re-electee1
he would do everything in his powei
to prevent modification of the pro
hibition lav.-, except to make It more
stringent.
"Al Smith is running for president
as an executive," Senator Dill said
"As such his business is to enforce
the law. He may make reeommeudo
tions to congress which that body in
its wisdom may act upon."
Senator Dill declared that if the
New York governor were elected he
would sign legislation that would
"protect the people from the grea'
power octopus that menaces the
economic life of this country as noth
ing has done since we abolished sla
very. He would sign a farm bill thai
would place the farmers on a basir
of equality with other citizens. He
would sign a bill to prevent the ar
bitrary use of court injunction in
labor disputes.
JUDGE OPPOSES PROBERS
Chicago. July 12. An indication
that he would establish in his ruling
the legality of the special grand jury
investigating primary election disor
ders, was given tonight by Judge
Frank Commerford. He is hearing the
plea of two men indicated by the
special jury that that body is illegal
because the regular grand jury was in
session when the special jury was
inpaneled.
In indicating that he would deny
the Indicted men's plea. Comeforf
said his deciison would be in favor
of the state if there is any doubt in
his mind at the close of the argu

resumed tomorrow at which time the
state will argue that the Jury :s legal.
"I am strictly opposed to grand
juries." declared Judge Comerford.
"Today the grand jury is a smoke

A crooked state's attorney could use

Plattsmouth
Judge Has Good
Public Record
Sarpy County Agriculturalist Tells of
Work of Xudge Bcgley on the
Bench in District.
Judge James T. Begley of Platts
mouth, who delivered the main pa
triotic address at the city celebra
tion at Brown Park in South Omaha
on July 4 has established an enviable
record as a public speaker. His de-j
livery is unique and original. The;
best tribute which can be paid to a
public speaker was given by a Sarpy
county farmer fho heard the Fourth
of July oration, who said. "It is a
noticeable fact that his audience does
not become restless, as many I have
seen have become." ; - j
Judge Begley is a Sarpy county
product and has many friends In this
county. He has held many public
offices with distinction, and has an
enviable record as a law enforcement
officer.
In 1908 as village attorney of Fa
pillion, he drew, had passed, and en
forced. an ordinance prohibiting the
holding of public dances in any
building connected with a saloon. In
1912 as county attorney, he drove
the law violators out of Sarpy coun
ty, and for the first time in its his
tory enforced the Patrick law pro
hibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquor within two and one-half miles
of Fort Crook. He was offered a
bribe of $250 per month to permit
the hootlogpers to operate, and im
mediately prosecuted and convicted
the offender.
As district judge he has been call
ed upon many times to construe the
liquor act. He was the first district
judqc to construe the act as permit
ting evidence of smell to be received
instead of the liquors, and also was
th firpt judg to hold that a mort
gage lien on an automobile was lost
when the auto was confiscated and
proved to have been used for the il
legal transportation of intoxicating
liquor. This case was appealed to the
supreme court and at the request of
the county attorney he wrote the
brief nr. behalf of the state and also
the brief on rehearing. The supreme
ccuit sustained the main contention
that the legislature had such author
ity, but. by a divided court, held that
it" had not so clearly stated in the
act. The legislature then being in
session, at his suggestion the present
amendment was placed in the liquor
act expressly stating that all such
lieii3 are lo;rt when the auto is thus
used. This is -the backbone of the
liquor act and without it enforce
ment would be difficult.
In 1023. on petition of the people
cf Cass county, he called a grand
jury to investigate law violations,
and when the prosecuting machinery
of the county broke down, appointed
able prosecutors to represent the
state. He gave every man indicted
an opportunity for trial within 20
days and bad all trials completed
within 90 days. Wheu you compare
this record with that of the Teapot
Dome scan'lal3 which occurred in
our national capitol at about the
same time, and where only two trials
have been had and nobody convicted
up to date, you can appreciate what
law enforcement means.
Judge Begley has never paroled a
liquor law -iolator, and has conduct
ed trials promptly and speedily. He
has a record of having tried and com
pleted three separate jury trials in
one day on several occasions, thus
saving thousands of dollars in costs
each year. Saipy County Agricul

Real Activities
at Metzger Hog
Ranch at Cullom
Sixty Car Loads of Cattle and 600
i Head of Hogs Shipped Out
During that Time.
j The Metzger Hog Ranch up near
Cullom, looks like a deserted village
at this time, as all the fat cattle and
hogs have been moved to market.
Mr. Taul Smith, who has been in
charge of the ranch, and Mr. C. E.
Metzger, the owner, were in the city
last Saturday, and they tell us that
the place has been completely cleaned
out during the past two weeks.
Sixty car loads of fat cattle were
shipped to Chicago and fiOO hogs
were also sent in to market, and
business around the ranch will be
practically closed until some time in
January. At this time new grass
range stuff will be shipped in from
Colorado. Mr. Smith will leave in a
few days for Hudson, Colo., where he
will engage in range work until the
grass fed cattle move east, at which
time they will move about 1800 head
to the Metzger ranch for winter and
spring fattening.
Mr. Smith is employed by one of
the largest, if not the largest cattle
men in the world today, Mr. Klint
Heard, of Denver, who has fed and
shipped the past season a total of
5,000 steers and 25.000 sheep, and
while the little bunch shipped out of
Cass count' seems very small to the
total number, it will represent about
one-quarter of a million dollars, fat
tened at the Metzger ranch. This is
the largest number of cattle ever
shipped out of Cass county at one
time, too.
Mr. Heard ships these cattle from
his Colorado ranges to the Metzger
ranch, and Mr. Metzger feeds them
for him on contract, and we are in
formed that he is very well pleased
with the outcome of this' bunch, as
several of the shipments topped the
Chicago market, and all brought
prices that were very gratifying to
him, and we are pleased to know
that he will ship an even larger num
ber into Cass county this winter. Mr.
Smith will return at that time to
manage the ranch.
