After reciting an alleged promise by the senator to have Fink appoint ed revenue collector, "If I would go along with his plan to oust Daugh erty from office," and the alleged promise of Judgeship to Stern, the affidavit continued: "He also promised Miss Stinson If she would play the game as he want ed to, he would form a pool among his democratic senatorial friends and give me the money to go to New York and sell the market short In advance of the news of Daugherty’s resignation, which he would Im mediately enforce and that Miss Stin son would Immediately receive 25 per cent of the profits of this pool.” The affadavlt said that later Sena tor Wheeler arranged for a meeting between Fink and Frank Vanderllp, whom Wheeler called "the angel of this committee." Vanderllp Would Spend. Vanderllp, continued the affadavlt, "said he had decided to place one on his payroll, ns he was prepared to spend hts fortune In cleaning up the Department of Justice." The affidavit quoted Vanderllp as saying that Fink was the man to go to Paris "In an endeavor to obtain the testimony of a certain man, but Fink said he refused." In later conversations with Van derllp, the affidavit declared, he In formed Fink that “hi* plans were to organize a third party with Senator Borah as president, Wheeler as vice president and himself the power that pulls the strings." Fink's affidavit concluded with a recital of difficulties In obtaining money for his services In Washington and that upon his return to Buffalo he was taken to Rochester and sur rendered to the authorities by his bondsman, notwithstanding the fact the complaint In the stock transac tion which caused the warrant of which he had been warned, had ex pressed a willingness to withdraw the charge, which, he said, was based on a misapprehension. Fink said that before returning to Buffalo. Stern Induced him to sign ind swear to a "false statement." *- - ■ - * 0 < , i r * 1 Good advice any time—but better still if you’re wearing a genuine Earl & Wilson (E. & W.) Insured Shirt.

DAWES HITS NEW CAMPAIGN NOTE (Continued From Pas* One.) the La Follette following that has a ccihesive and solidified center of ac tion. is the socialist party. One of the central demands of the socialist party is the abolition of the American constitution. The constitu tion must he abolished before social ism could become operative. Victor Berger, one of the socialist leaders in Wisconsin, member of congress from the Milwaukee district, one of the men whose influence with the Wisconsin socialists is being exerted to give the electoral vote of that state to La Follette, has boldly stated In congress that the constitution Is a "wornout instrument" and should be completely made over. In its mak Ing over, of course, he has in mind that It would be redesigned In ac cordance with the socialists' demands. Needed Socialist Support. Then there is the third fact. This is the biggest fact of them all. I.a Follette needed the support of the socialists. He was gathering together an independent political movement. The only third party organization was the socialist party. With the La Follette name and the socialist na tional orgahizatlon, the building of an independent movement wns possible. Without them, not even In Wisconsin could La Follette hope to win. There fore. the amalgamation of the social ists with La Follette. This could not be accomplished, however, without La Follette giving something to tho socialists that would cause them to withhold naming their own candidate and making their own campaign. Nor was it accomplished without com promise. I.a Follette gave to the socialists just the thing they want most—an entering wedge to the destruction of the American constitution. The social fsts have political sagacity enough to know fiat a direct assault upon tho constitution would fall. They know that even an indirect assault made under the banner of the socialist IBrty would fail. But if the socialists are to come into power the constitu tion must go out. The constitution guarantees the people in the posses sion of their private property. Tho socialists are against private prop erty. The constitution guarantees religious liberty. The socialists are atheists and the enemy of ail churcfc es. Is Follette Opportunity. The La Follette ambition to be president, the faith of a great sec tion of the people in La Follette, of. fered the opportunity and La Folletto made the trade. He opened the door to the destruction of the constitution and thereby won the endorsement of the socialists. The La Follette plank, proposing to give to congress alone the right to interpret the constitution, the right to override the supreme court, and, of course, by that same power the right to override the president of the United States, Is Just the entering wedge the socialists desire so much. If that power can be gained for congress then little by little the socialists will take advantage of every period of depression, every period of political storm to push through con gress laws that will be In direct viola tion of the constitution, until at last the constitution ha# been undermin ed. When Dawes first begsn to call at tention to the socialists' bargain with La Follette. the Wisconsin senator said to the farmers and to the work ing men. who were aligned with him, "see, Dawes charges you with being reds. Dawss is a reactionary, vote for me.” Urged "Soft Pedal.” The "practical politician* sought to urge Dawes to "soft pedal” the talk about red*. Dawes only became the more adamant In his position. Not only that, but he declared that the reason La Follette and hi* social ist followers had become so bold as to attack the constitution was be cause of the cowardice of these same "practical'' politicians. To Dawes, the La Folletts-soclslist bargain Is a fact. A* a fact, it must be met and conquered. If eome of the farmers of the west and some of the workers In the cities have be come deluded by La Folldtte, the only way t owin them back to the consti tution Is to tell the facts and the truth about tbs facts. Facts, openly discussed facts, and tha truth about the facts. This Is the outstanding characteristic of Dawes. It is the reason for the dif ference between this campaign train and the campaign tralna of previous election years. Another difference wsa Illustrated today during the stop at Douglap, Wyo. There waa a Mg crowd at the train to iiaten to tha talk from the rear platform. The high achool had been dismlaaed that the studenta might be on hand. Among that crowd, too, waa a delegation of cowboy* and cowgirl*. They gave Dawea a real wlldwest welcome. Ranch Costumes. Both the men and women were dressed In the costumes of the ranch They sat on their horsea at "the front of the crowd while Dawes talked. When Dawes had finished, the loader of the "wlldwest” delegation, Lem farmer, took off his "four quart hat" and prnaented it to the vice presiden tial candidate, who put It on. to the great pleasure of( that Douglas crowd. Immediately Dawe* turned to one of hi" assistants. "Bring out one of those cap* in my room," he said. A few moment* later a cap was handed him. "No, not that on*,” he directed. "I visfbt to give one of my cape to this cowboy In exchangafor hi* hst, but I cannot give blm tijat one, It waa a present glv»n to me by my lit lie boy, who la dead." Finally, the other cap waa brought out and handed to Lam farmer. "You boya ass that he wear, that* cap now," said Dawes. There was another laugh from the Douglas, crowd. Just then a representative of the Ainerlealn Legion post of Douglas climbed onto the platform and pre sented Mr. Dawes with a real Indian peace pipe. "For what you have -done for peace," said the delegate who pre sented it. "I'll send you one of my pipes," said Dawes. Dodges Cameras, What a picture—Gen. Charles O. Dawes wearing a four-quart hat and holding a. pipe of peace in his hand. Immediately the cameras were brought into action. “No, no, both," said Dawes, holding up his hand. "You. can have a picture for your personal uses, but not for publica tion. No stunts. I am happy to have si athht,happy to have this pipe,, but I don't want any pictures in the1 payers. Y'ou would make me look like some politician making a cheap bid for votes." The pictures were taken, but unless someone breaks faith with Dawes, they will never be published. Then the train pulled out. *The wild westerners followed down the tracks, cheering. Yes, there is a marked difference, and that differ ence is Dawes. COOLIDGE STILL LEADS IN POLL (Contlnned From Fugo Onr.) in an issue late in October, 1920. In giving the figures I substitute ciphers for the rlghthand r.'gurcs, be cause these would not appreciably affect the percentages. In the state of New York the Digest poll gave Harding 21,000 and Cox 4,400. Thus as between these two candidates Harding received 83 per cent of the vote and Cox 17 per cent. But when election day came and the actual votes were cast, Harding received 1,871,000, while Cox received 781,000. Thus Harding got only 70 per cent while Cox got 30 per cent. Figuring In the same way for the state of New Jersey we find exactly the same re suits: that Is. the Digest promised Harding 83 per cent and he only got 60 per cent. In Ohio the Digest promised him 74 i>»r cent, while he got only 60 per cent. In Indiana It promised him 67 per cent and he got 58 per cent. In Illinois he was promised 83 per cent and got 73 per cent. In California he was promised 78 per cent and he got 73 per cent. It thus appears that the Literary Digest poll favors the republican candidate by anywhere from 5 to 14 per cent of the vote as between him and his nearest rival. “I am not meaning in this state ment to accuse the Literary Digest of deliberate unfairness; I have no doubt that It has done the best it can un der the circumstances, but I certainly think It is its duty to point out these circumstances to its readers."

(('•nllnnptf from l'*re One.) throe balls on him, 1 farris slugged a single to right, and the ensuing racket must have rocked the Wash ington monument. The two runners scored, Pecklnpaugh on the hit prop er and McNeely partly on the hit and partly on a ragged throw from the OJant outfield. From the breastwork of a one-mar. lead, Jonathan Thompson Zachary, the Washington lefthander, pitched well, Zachary comes from North Caroline and when he first entered the big league some writer thought he should have a more euphonious name. So this writer called Zachary ‘‘Jezebel Tecumseh,” but. that isn't his name, take it from Zachary him self. Confusing Delivery. He has the loosest pitching motion Jn all baseball and a splattering sort of delivery that Is mighty confusing. *The box score Indicates that Nehf outpitched him in the matter of hits but Nehf himself put the winning ton on the bases. Some thought Nehf Intentionally passed McNeely to take a chanco on Harris, as Nehf never gave McNeely anything near the plate. An inten tional pass at this particular moment seems unlikely. k In any event Nehf's fourth ball to McNeely was so wide it looked In tentionally wide. McNeely's steal of second was perfect, the young coast leaguer sliding In under Dowdy’s throw. Before he drove in the winning runs, Harris was caught napping off first base. Subsequent events indicat ed he would have scored. Thus the young manager's friends rejoiced when he won the game and averted any undue criticism because of his wool-gathering. It's a tough job man aging a ball club, and playing the game too.

Tear* streaming down his cheeks and his voice choking with sobs. Henry C. Luckey, business manager of Midland college at Fremont, relat ed to members of the Evangelical Lutheran synod In session at St. Marks Lutheran church, Thursday morning, how his parents had strug gled in the pioneer days of Nebraska, and by his story made a plea for funds for the college. The speaker recently made a gift of $50,000 to the college. A new dor mitory for girls now is being built with the donation. Members of the synod discussed whether ft should be allowed from the yearly apportionment of each cnmniiining member of the church for the Midland college fund. Ollier Funds Might Suffer. Rev. O. D. Baltzly of Omaha point ed out that. If the college should get this fund, missionary funds, the or phan fund and other benevolent fund* of the church would suffer. A resolution was adopted by the synod to allow the ft from the apportion ment of each member to be taken from that fund. "My parents came from the old country and tolled and starved in Nebraska," said Mr. Luckey. "They tilled the railroad land allotted to them with an ox team and worked to give their children a Christian education. They drove eight miles every Sunday by oxen to the church. "We haven’t been doing our duty as ministers,” continued the speaker. "Prisons and state Institutions are crowded. We may need state schools, but the young people learn every thing there except Christian educa tlon. The Christian Institutions must teach religion. Forty per cent of the young people today ate getting their religious teaching and 60 per cent are neglected. We lack spirituality today. The machinery of the ehurch is destroying the spiritual life. (Enrollment Increased One-third. Report was made that, an Increase of 33 1-3 per cent In the student body had been made In the last year at Midland college. Members of the synod will go to Fremont on Friday to be present at a dedication of a new $125,000 gymnasium and audi torium. Itev. W. I.
