(From a Ptaff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oit. Jl.-(?pec:al.)-In a statement Issued today "Vnclo Walt" George, chairman of the republican sinte committee. Issues a statement in which he states that he believes the whole re . publican state ticket will be elected. He draws attntlon to pat history and fee's j that the state will be safely republican when he votes are counted next week, i Tomorrow ho will issue his final state ment of the campaign. In which he wl'l quote some figures, which he hopes the election will prove him a prophet. The statement today Is as follows: "Nebraska Is a republican state. It in one of the states In this union in which the democrattcs have never elected their state ticket The democratic politicians through all these pant years have sought tho party nominations. They have l smiled optimistically In each campaign. They have talked hopefully to each other and to the people. They have worked with more or lens energy and t'lithus'r.sm In each state contest. They have p'.eaOed with the voters to glva them a trial at the state government. But they have never gained the confidence of the voters enough to carr ya single state election In all these forty-seven years of the state's history. They have been able a few times In all these, forty-seven yearr to get one man elected now and then, but always that ono man, after trial, has been repudiated by the voters and dis missed with a single term. First by Fraud. "Governor Blyd was the first democrat to get an election certificate, but It Was conceded then and Is yet that his pro tended election was a fraud. They stuffed the ballot box with 4,000 votes that were never polled. They counted old honest John Powers out and called It a democratic victory, for the one man. tho first one-termer, Boyd. They elocted Shallcnberger, their second one-term vie tory. and thfn repudiated him at the next state primary because ho signed the S o'clock closing law. The third and last democrat elected to a state office, John JI. Morehettd, is now pleading for that which ho pledged himself never to take, and which was denied the other two, a second term, and his backers pro fess to believe In his election, In splto of all this past history, in spite of the fact that he Is now more discredited by the voters than waa either of the other two democratic governors, and In spite of th further fact that his party in this state Is now more fundamentally divided than ever before In all thdse forty-seven years. '. . . "Shallenberger and Morehead, each In his team, 'loaned on Mr. Bryan for the last hard pull, leaned oh Tilm and pleaded with him' for his : endorsement, while all the time-each of them was a part of tho conspiracy that has at last left him no control of the party In this state and no function as a Nebraska democrat except as they can use him to beg the people for an endorsement of his enemies. One word now from Mr. Bryan of his honest convic tion as to the' Morehead combination would make the chances of the governor's re-election as absolutely hopeless as those of Maupln, Pool, and tho rest of their state ticket." Americans Lose Out On Large Order for the English Army (Correspondence of tho Associated Tress.) LONDON. Oct. IS. The failure of Amer ican manufacturers to take advantage of tho war situation has already caused them the loss of large orders. The other week the war department searched Lon don for agents of American mills to sup ply fdO.onO pairs of blankets to Lord Kitchener's new army. No agents were found and the orders went to British mills, which were unable to give guar antees as to when the order would be fulfilled. Not only the British government, hut also the French and Russian are now call- , Ing wildly for supplies of nil kinds, camp j equipment and accoutrements. But the Americans, by what Is considered here a surprising lack of enterprise, have not 1 been on hand. It Is not a question of i seeking business, but of having It thrust i at them. There is likely to be a continuous do- j mand for blankets, olive drab uniform cloth, which Is now manufactured for the American army, canvas, cooking titen- i siln, army shoes and materials which the United States has never heretofore cx- i ported to England. General trade opportunities are also offered to America, since England, Ger many and France have largely supplied pain and Italy and tho lesser countries of Europe, to say nothing of the trade with Africa, the orient and South America.
