Iowa to Vote on Smith Brookhart and Sweet Today Supporters of Both Claiming Republican Nomination on Eve of State-Wide Primary. Bj A«hocUted Fmi. Dos Moines, la., June 1.—Candi dates seeking nomination for offires ranging from the United States sen atorship down to cobnty posts have rested their campaigns. Tommorow, in the state primary, voters of both major parties will deride the issue. As the campaign closed, chief in terest centered in the senatorial con test between Senator Smith W. UrooVhart and Burton E. Sweet, who seek republican preference. The re publican race for the gubernatorial nomination, with six candidates en tered. and 35 per cent of the total vote required for a decision, appar ently had become a state convention issue. On both republican and democratic tickets there are contests in the pri mary for most of the important of fices and democratic leaders have predicted for weeks that contests in their party at tills time marked the beginning of a revival of strength of the second party in Iowa. Sweet Claims Three Districts. Republican leaders however, con sider that with few exceptions, nom ination of their candidates In Mon day's primary is equivalent to elec tion in November, and the republican campaigns, therefore, have attracted a major portion of attention. ^ The Brookhart-Sweet contest was marked by quiet campaigning in all parts of the state up to a week ago, when supporters of Sweet launched ADVERTISEMENT. New Method Heals Rupture Kansas City Doctor’s Discovery Makes Truss or Operation Unnecessary. Kansas City, Mo.—(Special.)—A new discovery which, experts agree, has no equal for curative effects in all rupture cases, is the latest ac complishment of Dr. Andrews, the well known Hernia specialist of this city. The extraordinary success of this new method proves that It holds and heals a rupture. It weighs only a few ounces. Has no hard gouging pads, no elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel hands, and is as comfortable as a light garment. It has enabled hun dreds of persons to throw away trusses and declare their rupture ab solutely healed. Many of these had serious double ruptures, from which they had suffered for years. It Is Dr. Andrews' ambition to have every rup tured person enjoy the quick relief, comfort and healing power of his dis covery, and he will send It on free trial to any reader of The Omaha Bee who writes him at his office. 1501 Koch building, Kansas City, Mo.

' - ' " — Illinois Central System Gives Com parisons in Regard to Rates and Costs Anyone who compares the present costs of producing railway service with pre-war costs and compares the present rates charged for that service with pre-war rates will be struck by t he fact that railway service is being sold now at rates relatively lower than before the war. Below are the results of some representative cost comparisons as ap plied to this railroad. The Illinois Central System in 1923 paid: $2.44 for the same quantity of locomotive coal that it paid $1 for in 1913; $1.87 for the same quantity of materials and supplies other than coal that it paid $1 for in 1913; »*• 8 _ $3.28 in taxes for every $1 it paid in 1913; $1.96 for the same number of hours of labor that it paid $1 for in 1913. In transportation rates, the increase Is not so large. The Illinois Cen tral System in 1923 received only $1.5 4 for hauling a passenger the same distance that it received $1 for in 1913. It received only $1.38 for hauling a ton of freight the same distance that it received $1 for in 1913. The latter figures do not have reference to the charge for hauling any particular kind of freight, but they show that the average revenue which the Illinois Central Svstem received in 1923 for each ton of freight carried one mile was only 38 per cent greater than it was in 1913. This increase in rates compares, as noted above in dollars and cents, with increases in costs of 144 per cent for locomotive coal, 87 per cent for materials and supplies other than coal. 228 per cent for taxes and 96 per cent for labor. Only through increased efficiency and the installation of modern, cost ! reducing facilities has it been possible for the railroads to serve the public at the rates which they are receiving and at the same time to meet the great increases in the prices which they are compelled to pay for the things they , must have to produce transportation. The railroads have borrowed and expended many millions of dollars to improve their properties. They have done this because of their faith in the fairness of the American people. Given time and a chance to work out their destiny, the railroads will demonstrate their ability to serve the public ade quately and at rates so low as are consistent with their costs of doing business. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. • > \ C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System. -- - — —•* •r an intensive campaign which they de flare has bro'ught reports from all over the state that the Junior senator has been losing strength. One Sweet campaign leader declared the Brook hart followers had dwindled so rap idly In number that one of the sena tbr's closest friends had expressed concern as to the outcome. State Representative Clyde Doollt tie Issued a statement claiming Sw'eet would easily win three congressional districts, the first, third and fifth, and declaring that he expected to car ry the second, fourth, sixth, seventh and ninth. Brookhart headquarters here, In charge of Louie H. Cook, conceded a probable lead fdr Sweet in 13 coun ties, classed 11 as doubtful and gave the remaining counties to the senator. Counties that probably will go to Mr. Sweet, Mr. Cook said. Included Linn, Butler, Benton, Jones, Delaware, Du buque, Buchanan, Franklin, Bremer, Johnson, Grundy and Black Hawk. The doubtful list included Muscatine. Lee, Chickasaw', Pottawattamie. Mad ison, Mills, Fremont, Des Moines, Louisa, Scott and Hardin. Four Stand Out In Governor Race. J. H. Anderson, speaker of the Iowa house; John Hammlll, lieuten ant governor; Glenn Haynes, state auditor and W. J. Burbank, state treas urer, are regarded by most of the po litical observers here as leading can didates for the gubernatorial nomina tion on the republican ticket. Sotne of these observers and the candidates still hope for a nomination in the primary but even the stauncji supporters of the stronger candidates declare the selection of a candidate to succeed Governor Kendall, who is retiring, probably will be made by the state convention. • States Senator J. D. Muser of Conesvllle and A. J. Banks, who has based his campaign on a tax reduc tion platform, are the other two re publican candidates for the governor ship. Daniel M. Steck of Ottumwa, prom inent in American Legion circles, has conducted the most active campaign for senatorial nomination oti the democratic ticket. His opponents are John D. Denison, a Des Moines at torney and Charles R. Keyes of Des Moines. No Secretary of State Contest. The democratic gubernatorial can didates are Daniel Unsicker of Wright and J. C. Murtagh of Water 16b. Clem F. Kimball of Council Bluffs and John R. Price of Albia. a state senator, are republican opponents for nomination for lieutenant governor and L. A. Housel of Humboldt has no opposition oti the democratic ticket. There Is no primary contest for secretary of state, Walter C. Ram say of Belniond being slated to oppose Claude Lauderdale of Fort Dodge In the general election. They are re publican and democratic respectively. In the race for state auditor there is one demo'erat, E. T. Likes of Des Moines and six republican', including State Senator J. <Tuck of Corning, Representative J. C. McClune of Oskaloosa, William TI. N.ve of Rock well City, O. E. Wilson of Morning Sun, J. V. Lemley of Leon and G. H. Getty of Boone. Leon W. Ainsworth, secretary of the state senate, who was a candi date against W. J. Burbank two years ago; Ray E. Johnson, secretary to the executive council and G. G. Wolfe of Mt. Vernon are the republi cans seeking nomination for the state treasurership. The democrats and insurgents never could forgive themselves if they per initted taxes to be reduced by a re publican majority.—tile vela ml Times. "Right or Wrong, Mv Party,” Soviet J y Leader Declares Opposition to Bolshev ist Rule Growing in Russia, Trotzky Warns Communist Party Congress. By O. 1). TOIJ JSC HI S. VnlTeranl Servlet Staff Correspondent. Berlin, June 1.—“Right or wrong, my party.” In these words, I,eon Trotzky, after Benin the strongest man in the holshevlk government, summarized his political confessiori of faith in a speech before the con gress of the Russian communist party at Moscow. This flat declaration of party alleg iance, Irrespective of consequences, is Trotzky's answer to his enemies with in the party, who are trying to crowd hint to the walk. The opposition to the bolshevist rule, Trotzky also warned, is growing in Russia. That all is not well within the soviet party and with the soviet power is also seen in the speech of Zinoviev, before the same congress, in which he bared the strength of the Menshevist movement among the youth of the new bourgeoise, especial ly the students, and which, he an nounced, most drastic measures are being taken to suppress. Illuminating also is a secret memo randum which Trotzky sent to the central committee, in which he be comes an accuser of the soviet regime. The text of this memorandum is now made public by the German socialist paper, Vorwaerts. In this document Trotzky says openly land in the strongest terms that the soviet business management is in complete chaos, and that there is an unbridge able abyss between the industrial workers' and the peasants’ parties. He charges that the organization Is "stifling in an atmosphere of incom petent, but all the more dictatorial, bureaucracy,” and that the general dissatisfaction is growing to the point “where a crisis for the whole soviet regime is looming on the hori zon.” WELCH SUPPLIES PICNIC LUNCHES The Welch restaurants make a specialty of furnishing box lunches for picnics and outings. Many firms have partonized this service; among the most recent was the Omaha Chamber of Commerce outing at Elmwood park. One thou sand two hundred box lunches were furnished by Welch.

Church Celebrates Fiftieth Anniversary Columbus, Neb., June 3.—The Rev. J. B. Braun, for 50 years pastor of the Greutli (&eb.)

Moser, Norfolk. _ —■l— Is-J Adele Garrison ‘’My Husband’s Love” _:-' What Katie Displayed to Madge's Astonished Eyes. The attic at the farm rovers the entire house, with ample room for the storing of a whole houseful of furniture. Not having any furniture to store and Dicky having found it impossi ble to fill more than a quarter of it with his collections of theater pro grams and magazines, he has fitted up a space under the highest part of the roof for a. loafing place, where he can look over his beloved possessions. It was to this spot where comfort able, If dilapidated appearing, rocking chairs and a table were placed, that Katie led me. I seated mj-Belf re signedly, knowing that there was no hurrying my little maid. She would tell the story she was so anxious to relate in her own time, with all the digressions so characteristic of her volubility. "Sit down. Katie,” I said, drawing a chair near to mine. “You might as well be comfortable while you talk." “Dot's right,” she giggled, her fa cial muscles suddenly relaxing their tension. She slumped into the chair, folding her hands in her lap and patently pre paring to take my advice as to com fort, while I sent my mind dashing in a dozen directions, wondering whether Katie was Indeed menaced by some one, who. In her own phrase ology, “was trying to hang something on her," or whether the whole thing was a figment of her movie-fed ima gination. Yes, Madge Knows Mamie. But her first sentence brought me erect, tense, in my chair. "Missis Graham, you know dot Mamie 'cross road?" I did not answer for a second, for I was busy visualizing Mamie who had helped Katie and Mrs. Ticer “clean house" under Mother Graham's super vision before the arrival of the Braith waites. I had been much impressed with the bright mentality and re sourcefulness of the girl upon the night when the State troopers searched the home of her parents for the escaping murderer. Incidentally discovering a whisky still In full oper atlon. The discovery of a photograph closely resembling Mrs. Marks, my flamboyant neighbor of the rlty apart ment, and the statement that the pic ture was of Mamie's half-aunt had intrigued my interest. Also, I re membered the sudden whiteness of Mrs. Marks' face when I made a cas ual reference to the east end of the Island and the picture I had seen resembling her. She had denied ever being east of Patchogue and I had mentally commented that she was fal sifying. What might I not have stumbled upon? I was careful to make my voice casual, however. Katie must be per mitted to tell her story in her own way, or I should get nowhere. "Yes, I know Mamie," I said and stopped short. “You Shoost Valt!” r “You mean you tink you know her," Katie returned, with superbly , unconscious impertinence. ' Me, I I tink I know her. too; but I know notings. She deep vun, dot girl, und I tink she got mo In vun nice mess.'' "Oh, I hope not. Katie!” I ex dainied, startled out of my non-com mitted attitude, for the girl'# distress , was patent. "You shoost vait!" Katie's voice dripped mystery. "After you go, she alvays doing nice tings for me. all time coomlng ofer, vant me to go mit by movies and getting me Ice cream soda*. I smiled Involuntarily at the pic ture. for I knew that Katie never couid get enough of cinema* and sodas, nor could she persuade tired Jim to go with her more than once rr twice a week. The attentive Mamie must have appeared a fairy to my little maid. "Und I sooch fool." Katie went on, "I nefer saw she vas shoost playing me for vun nanny goat, not efen ven she coom mit sooch a long face und soy; 'Oh, Katie dear, I got t some tings I don't dare keep by me j home, for my mudder she lick me j eef *ho find dem!

"You laugh Oder side of your mout' pretty qveeck. I tink maybe dot all right first time, but ven she coom ofer two, tree time# I begin to smell vun dead mouse, maybe more. She refer have all dose tings herself. I peeked In bun dles dis morning und I know dot und I get so scared. I no dare tell old womans, und Jeem, I tink he take bedslat to me eef I tell him." Katie e gigie showed how much this la*t possibility troubled her. "Und 1 so glad ven you coom! Now you shoost sit still vunce while I show you sometings." She rose snd went to the extreme end of the attic, coming back with a bulky bundls which she had hid den. With a dramatic gesture she undid it snd displayed, to my aston ished eyes, three fur cloaks whose value even my unprncticed eyes knew ran into four figures.
