Coolidge Is Only k O S' Hope for People, Sen. Capper Says President’* Eleelion Alone Can Prevent Deadloek, He Warns; Situation Deplorable. Hy Asmirlntrd PreM. Columbus, Neb., Sept. 25.—Speak ing in advocary of the election of i ’oolidge and Dawes, Senator Arthur '"upper of Kansas declared here this afternoon that the “situation the voter faces Is Coolidge, or no election by the people.” Senator Capper declared that this year's election brings the most re markable situation in half a century and that the "danger Is that the La Follette movement, by dividing the vote of the western states might bring about a deadlock. t "The house probably would not be able to elect a president. Then the senate possibly would manage to elect a vice president, and then he would become president.” The Kansas senator declared this situation “deplorable for many rea sons, but chiefly because of the dis turbing effect upon the country. Coolidge or Deadlock. "It would not be an act by the peo ple. The plain fact is that Coolidge is the only man the people can vote for directly for president, with a chance that the man voted for will J'e elected.” Senator Capper said. The Kansas senator declared that the republican administration had solved many problems and had suc cessfully faced many circumstances. “Before a government can do any thing else or branch out In progres sive ways. It Is its duty to get It down to a solvent basis. The ad ministration has thrown its whole en ergies to getting down to a cash basis, reducing expenses, balancing Its budget, giving the country lower taxes and paying debts. Twice In the last three years congress has been able to cut taxes, and both Presidents Harding and Coolidge. after budget systems had been enact ed by congress, have refused budget estimates and lnstructed-that they be cut by hundreds of millions of dol lars. Expenses Cut a Billion. “As a result of this pressure for lower costs, the government expenses have been cut down In three years by more than *2,000.000,000; the bonded debt reduced *2,750,000,000 and taxes cut by more than 25 per cent. “And In place of a chronic deficit In the treasury, a surplus was piled up In three years. Credit for these , governmental economies must go to President Coolidge. The Coolidge ad ministration has enacted and put In effect more constructive legislation for rebuilding ths farming industry than enacted during the entire halt century preceding 1921.” GAGE COUNTY FAIR’ DRAWING CROWDS Beatrice, Neb., Sept. 25.—I,arge W'~ ~'rowds are attending the county fair1 here.

Robert Hopson, 11, testified In divorce court Thursday against his fath er, William Hopson, air mail pilot, and In favor of hl« stepmother, Jeanette Hopson,who Is seeking a decree of separate maintenance and custody of the boy. A murmur of admiration went about the crowded courtroom at the boy's appearance and clear, decisive answers. Close to the end of his ex amination the attorney asked: "With whom do you want to live, Robert?" The boy’s lips trembled and tears sprang to his eyes as he said: *T want to live with my mother. I love my mother.” Mrs. Hopson wept and the boy quickly came from the witness stand, past his father without a glance, and put his arm about Mrs. Hopson, pat ting her cheek and kissing her. Mrs. Lillian A. Garrison, who re cently won a decree of separate main tenance from Robert Garrison, an other mall pilot, testified for Mrs. Hopson. She said she saw Mrs. Howard Granden with Hopson frequently ahd on one occasion saw them in an au tomobile, Mrs. Granden with her arm around Hopson's neck. Mrs. Granden's name has been men tioned throughout the case, but she has not appeared In court. Her hus band is Hopson's constant companion. Hopson rooms at the Granden home. Robert Hopson Is a pupil at thS Central school and was brought from school to take the witness stand and was taken right back nfterward. "I'm proud he is my son,” said Hopson afterward. Robert testified that his father kicked his mother out of their auto mobile on Fontenelle boulevard on one occasion, that he struck her at Seventeenth and Douglas streets when she found Mrs. Granden in the Hopson automobile, and that "he kept hitting her all the way home.’ "Mother always has taken care of me. Mother never uses improper lan guage. She is the best mother in the world,” said Robert in his grownup way on the witness stand. He was dressed In a neat English suit of gray, sport shirt with open collar, and woolen hose reaching to below the knees. Hopson offered to' bring his books Into court to show his income, which, he says, has been as high as $700 a month when he was tjoing test flying for the night air mail. Decision in the case will probably not come until next week at the earliest. •) WHEELER HERE EARLY SATURDAY Senator Burton K.
