Br International News Service. McCook, Neb., Oct. 1. —Senator George W. Norris, in an exclusive statement today refused to comment upon the declaration of Senator Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa that Charles G. Dawes, republican vice presiden tial candidate, had "wrecked the re publican campaign, especially In the northwest," and that Norris should be substituted In Dawes’ stead. The Nebraska senator was asked If he favored the Independent ticket of La Follette and Wheeler, but declined to answer the question. He said, however, that rumors of his Intention to come out later for the Wisconsin senator were without foundation. Smith W. Brookhart, Iowa senator, is indulging In personalities Instead of discussing the Issues of the campaign, was one of the comments heard Wed nesday morning In connection with the outbreak of the Iowan against Charles G. Dawes, republican candi date for vice president. Several Omahans asserted that either Inability or disinclination to dis cuss Issues drove Brookhart to the cheap expediency of going into per sonalities. The tactics used by Brookhart against Dawes, according to one Omahan, reminded him of a "little yel low dog barking at the heels of a mas tiff." Some Expressions. A few of the expressions heard around town Wednesday morning aro given: O. E. Engler, republican county chairman: "Lacking sound argument. Brookhart finds himself in the posi tion of being compelled to resort to personalities.” Mrs. L. M. Lord, vice chairman, county central committee: ”Mr. Dawes stralght-from-the-slioulder policy Is showing the people the danger to the constitution of these talks by La Follette and Brookhart.” Amos Thomas: "Brookhart’s letter reminded me of a small dog harking at a real man’s heels. Brookhart Is dealing entirely In personalities rather than the Issues of the campaign. A campaign la neither won nor lost on personalities.” Uncalled-For Attack. Robert Smith: "I admire Dawes very much. His attitude Is that of a gentleman towards an uncalled-for attack, an attack without foundation. Dawes stands for common honesty, as Indicated In hie Lincoln speech.” John Dillon, prominent republican. ”Thla Iowa senator Is the true wrecker of the republican party. He himself long ago assumed the role which he now ascribes to General Dawes.” Dr. Harry A. Foster: “Senator Brookhart’s speech was a dastardly attack, It should have been beneath the dignity of a United States sena tor. Such an attack on a man of hla own party Is incomprehensible.” Business Men’s Club Organized at Scotia Scotia, Oct. 1.—Business men of Scotia have organized a club for the purpose of developing co-operative spirit among themselves and between merchant* and customers.

Mine Bureau Head Denounces Blocs Such System Is Bad Govern ment and Will Not Survive, Says H. Foster Bain. Sacramento, Cal., Oct. X.—Breaking the increasing momentum of their business sessions and halting until tomorrow the gathering mass of sug gestion for Improving the mining in dustry, delegates to the convention of the American Mining congress this afternoon hit the gold trail to Au burn for a celebration based on the early mining days of Placer county’s seat. Principal speakers at the brief ses sion this morning were H. Foster Bain, director of federal bureau of mines, who described the relation of the bureau to the mining Industry, and A. O. McLaughlin of Los An geles, who spoke on "Who Makes the Profits from the Oil Industry.” Bain, although he was careful to explain that he did not have the authority of tho Department of the Interior to announce policies, de nounced the “bloc system” In gov ernment, saying: "We will win the confidence and the help of our fellow-citizens just In proportion as we are careful to ask action only ns citizens zealous for the common good, rather than as a special interest. “For the moment the power of organized minorities and of blocs is in the ascendancy, but bloc govern ment is bad government: it is selfish government. It is the government of the hijacker and the holdup, and it cannot be more than a passing phase of political history in a nation that is to prosper. As mining men who are citizens we have much more to lose than to gain by strengthening the trend toward class rule.”' Speakers Engaged for Sidney Teachers’ Institute Shenandoah, la., Oct. 1.—Promi nent educators will address Fremont county teachers at the inspirational institute October 2 and 3 at Kidney.

If this aim be Ideally realized, league competency should, as a matter of principle, be extended to all varieties of differences between nations. “Our stand was not at all inspired by the ulterior intention of lining up the world’s nations against America In connection with the enactment of Japanese exclusion provisions of the immigration law."
