^Constitution or Red Fla£ D Named Issue t'ocialists Backing Wisconsin Senator Merely to Gain Ends, General Dawes Tells Omaha Audience. Behind Lii Follette stands the red menace of socialism with Its opposl tion to private property, its antago nism to religion. This, in shorf, is the message Charles G. Dawes brought to Omaha. Answering former Senator Gilbert M- Hitchcock who, through his spokesman, had said that socialism "as not an issue, Mr. Dawes de clared: "The time to stop a prairie fire is when it starts. You know what that means out here in the West.” Dawes had In his mind the Im mense poll for La Follette revealed in the straw vote being taken by the Literary Digest, the Hearst news papers and other newspapers throughout the country. La Follette Passes Davis. These polls reveal that La Follette has swept past Davis In popular sup port and is actually* contending for the presidency. Thus Dawes feels that as a prairie tire it is more than just starting. It has grown to alarming proportions. ** Other points in Dawes’ address were: A revelation of the "boring from within” taetirs of the soeialists.. Ail exposure of the lav Follette Red trade, whereby La Follette gained the support of the socialists. The scheme of the socialists to break down the constitution through using La Follette’s popu larity. The expressed reservation of the . socialists to support La Follette in tills campaign for their own pur poses only, they to "adhere strict ly to socialist principles" and keep tlie red flag flying. The danger to established civili zation should the La Follette vote be as big as the straw votes indi cate. General- Dawes ssid the govern ment which lasts Is the government whose action is dependent upon com mon sense. He defined a politician .:s one who appeals to passing fan cies, and a statesman as one who ap peals to the ultimate judgment of the people. One is , for the rule of the mob. the other for the rule of the people. “Nail by Wind." ”\Ve would be in great danger," he declared, "if we would throw away the compass of the constitution and Bail by the wind.’’ The vice presidential nominee was given a warm reception at the audi torium, which was crowded by the time he arrived. O. E. Kngler. chair man of the Douglas county republi can committee, presided, and General Dawes was introduced by Harry E. Hackett, chairman of the republican state committee. e General Dawes swung immediately Into the attack. He said that the La Follette demands for emasculating the supreme court were made because in no other way could he have se cured the support of the socialist party.

Is When It Starts,” General Dawes . j^Oscar t^6ngkr4 (jencrai'ihiioes and Bonafiot}^ Sincerity of Dawes Makes Hit With Thousands at Auditorium The incMvertoss of Geri. Charles G. Dawes’ declarations carried conviction to an audience that cheered him to the echo in the Auditorium Friday night. 4* The event, which was generallj agreed to be a notable one In thd Nebraska campaign, did not have the. ordinary vote-getltni; ring. Dawes placed the paramount issue in the plain, simple basis of patriotism and in that respect he obtained an cn thusiustic reaction. The distinguished speaker said what he had to say and then stopped. Hi* speech was shorter than some of the recent campaign addresses heard in the Auditorium, but it took the gathering by the ears, so much so that groups of flbcple tarried on-street corner* after the meeting to vent their feelings over the splendid ex position of the man who left Chicago last Monday for a strenuous tour througty JO states. There was a group at the Audi torium waiting for admittance when the doors were opened at 7. The ar rangements were ideal. ,ie-* - Palmer, Joseph Marrow. \V. ,t. Hunter, M. J.

Dona hoe, prominent lalsir leader of this citv and a railroad man In the yards; Congressman W. G. Sears and C. W. nelamnfre. Joseph C. Cook of Fremont, Dodge county republican chairman, chatted after the meeting with Robert Smith and other friends. "[ believe there was more pith in that address than in any other I have ever heard," Cook said. Congressman W. G. Sears stated that the address was "thoughtful and earnest and should lie seriously con sidered by all who love their eoun try," "Wasn’t that a splendid presenta tion of the case?" exclaimed County Chairman Engler. Walter 8. .iardine expressed the thought that it was the best address delivered in Omaha during this cam paign. James Walsh; "He told us the real issue In a f* w words. The issue is whether we are to have the Ameri can flag or the red flag and I have faith to believe that we are funda mentally sound." Mrs. ij. M. I.ord: "His defense of the constitution .was splendid. Wo men generally will agree with thp sen timents expressed by Mr. Dawes." c. H. Kub-it, county 'commissioner: "He discussed the real issue of this campaign and he discussed it in a way that has mads Dawes a truly great American." MRS.

Beatrice, Neb., Oct. 10.—Driven to his act by what lie said was a long continued "triangle situation” involv ing his wife, Kdward Schuerman, middle aged and wealthy Grant town ship farmer, tills morning shot and killed George nheinniiUer, a young Rock Island employe at DeWitt, north of here. Thereafter the farmer made his way to the Blue river and waded some distance into the stream with the intention of drowning himself. The thought of his four children haunted him. he said, and he could not compel himself fb take his own life. Driving to Wilbur, he surrendered himself to Sheriff Greer or Saline county. Slayer Held at Beatrice. Sheriff Sailing brought Schuerman to the county juil here to he he^l pending an early preliminary hearing, since the crime was committed on [this side of county line. Nchuerman’s reaction to the1 ghast ly tragedy in which he had played a leading role seemed to be grief over the ending of what he termed "years I of happy home life," rather than re morse over the crime itself. County Attoftiey Mattoon obtained a complete confession, he said, but he will withhold it until the trial. No inquest was deemed necessary. The farmer, who is 46, said that Rhelnmiller, who was 29, had on sev eral occasions been -driven from the Schuerman home and that both the railway employe and Mrs. Schuerman had been warned that heir alleged intimacy must cease. Pair Ignored ^Warnings. They Ignored these warnings, said the husband, and continued with what he said was a Clandestine rela tionship for two years or more. Reaving his farm a mile north of DeWitt early this morning, Schuer man, according to his story, drove to a point near the Rock Island viaduct, near the village, with the Intention of finding Rhelnmiller, while the latter was on his way to his work. The farmer said he passed Rhelnmiller, who was on foot with Foreman Charles Ross, and drove a half mile further on. He then turned back, and driving up to the two men, halted his machine. Schuerman, armed with a repeat lng shotgun, leaped from his auto mobile, turning his weapon on Rheln rnlller. The first shot went wild and! Rhelnmiller Is said to have tried to protect himself behind Foreman Ross. The second shot, however, struck Rhelnmiller In the snulder, hurling him to the ground. Schuerman than shot a third time, the charge striking Rhelnmiller back of an ear. Death was probably immediate. It was after the shooting that Schuerman, according to his confes sion. drove to his home, told his wife what he had done, loft his gun and then went to the Blue river.

Oct. 10—Ralph Shndel, 17 yearold lover dt Mm. Har vey Willow, more than twice hi* age. was found guilty by a Jury today of murder In the second degree. The woman's husband was found shot to death In the woods near bis farm a year ago. Mrs. WIIow will go to trial for her share of the crime on Mon day. In this state, the punishment for second degree murder la imprison ment for from five to 20 years. All day long Ralph Shadel sat be tween hls mother and father within the railing of the county courthouse. He heard uupaeeloned speeches that were more petitions for clemency than arguments for defense, heard the calm and fair Instructions of Judge Potter, saw the 1J men peas to the Jury room to deliberate on a verdict, and never once raised his head. All (he time, while tears poured down the cheek* of his father, and hia mother's convulsive sobs wracked her slight frame, he stared at the floor with knit brows, the picture of a schoolboy being scolded. He did not seem to realize that he was in the very shadow of death at the hands of the law. A. F. Hilbert, defense counsel, placed all thV blame on the woman Levelling his finger to one and then another juror, the attorney exclaimed: "I would pity you. and you, and you. if Harvey Willow had employed a boy of yours. He would be In the chair of the prisoner today.” From a Bible the attorney read Solomon’s portrayal of the temptress, an exact parallel of the picture he had painted of Mrs. Willow.
