in Alloting Position to. Parties.
LINCOLN PAPER SPREADS RTJMOR
Takes "ample Ballot Yrtnte4 by
Private Concern Without Au
thority as . Baals for
Scare Head Story.
(From a Staff Correspondent!.
' LINCOLNr Oct. li. (Special.) It Is
said that trouble or sudden fright will
turn one's hair gray tn a short time but
It remained for a newspaper article to
make Secretary of State Walt red
headed this morning when he read in
a morning Lincoln paper that republi
cans at state headquarters were "indig
nant" and that "Indignation prevailed
over the form of ballot aa prepared by
Secretary of fltate Walt"
On investigation of the matter and
upon consultation with Mr. Wait it was
disclosed that the ballot prepared by
the secretary of state conforms to the
requirements of the law and that the
democrats had first place, the progres
sives second and the republicans third,
based on the vote of the last state elec
tion, and the people's Independent the
last plaoa.
, Mr. Wait has made a thorough Inquiry
and has discovered that soma private
concern which had no authority to do so
has printed a number of sample ballots
placing the people's Independent party
second in the circle designation for
straight party voting. Someone at
republican headquarters got bold of one
of these ballots and fired the Informa
tion out for publication that the secre
tary of state was preparing a ballot de
signed to give the democrats and people'!
Independent candidates the best chance.
Naturally Mr. Wait . Is considerably
agitated over the matter and deaires to
ba plaeed in the proper light before the
people of the state.
Documents Indicate Intention
of Belgium to Join England
ROME, Oct. 14.-Vla Paris, Oct. 16.)
Alleged documents of the Belgian general
staff Inscribed "English intervention in
Belgium," which are said to have been
found by German military authorities In
Brussels, are cr using comment in Ger
man newspapers, some of which were re
ceived here today.
The Kreua Zeltung says the documents
show that long ago It was decided In
oaea of war Belgium would side with
Franc and England. The Deutche Zeltung-
deolarea It hopes now that the neu
tral states will oeose to speak about "the
brutal violation cf poor, Innocent little
Belgium."
"The document show," says the Vos
slache Zeltung, "the duplicity of England
and Its Indifference at planning a viola
tion of Holland. They also ehow the
wisdom of Paron Grelndl, (the Belgian
minister to Berlin), who had the right
opinion about trusting English protec
tion. His prediction was realised. Bel
glum bleeds from a thousand wounds re
ceived in behalf of British Interests snd
(he Indignation of the English statesmen
over the sanctity of a treaty Is mere
hypocrisy."
