Knd finda that the vote on governor la about 2fl
greater than on any other office voted on In that cltv,
either for ronKre.n, legislative candidates or any oth-r
Mate off ii e. Further Inve.tlgatlon ahnwa that th

than the votes cast for any other iHndldate or propo
sition, or Just nbout the extent of Governor More
head'a nrnjorlty over Mr. Howell, lloea this strike oi
as significant?
Now for the facts, easily ascertainable by add
ing up the votes cast for all the candidates
under the respective office headings, which
gives the following totals:
F.r governor -M.918
For lleutonant governor X4.248
For secretary of state I44.s7
For auditor a i!l
For treasurer 21.W
For superintendent Xt.hA
For attorney general 24,200
For land commlnsloner 23.
For railway commissioner 23.fl.Tl
For congressman 24,263
The difference in the number of Douglas
county ballots marked for governor and for con
gressman Is only 6 55 and the difference be
tween the number marked for governor and
land commissioner, whose total is the leant In
this list, is but 1,550. With an eight-foot ballot,
voted by 25,000 people, this Is not much of a
discrepancy In fact, we challenge anyone to
show us 25,000 ballots cast In any other part of
the state in which there Is not a noticeable ex
cess of votes for governor.
So far os any discrepancy Is disclosed by
these figures, it has an entirely different ex
planation from that which the Hub and the
Journal so gleefully jump at. Realizing that he
needed to be bolstered up here In his home
county, the special friends of the republican
candidate for governor In charge of the cam
paign organization provided the republican
workers at the polls with a peculiar card to guide
the voters. This card and the paid workers
were permitted to distribute no other did not
ask anyoue to vote the republican ticket, or to
put a cross In the republican circle, but gave a
list of recommended candidates headed by How
ell, then dropping to congressman, omitting all
other candidates dm the state ticket. Any voter
who governed himself by this card would throw
away his vote for all state offices except gov
ernor, and presumably that Is what several
hundred did. being measured by any falling oft
In the total below that scored for the candidates
for congress. On treasurer, for example, the
number ot votea ao lost might have been 500,
but the suggestion that 2,500 ballots, or any
other number, marked for governor alone, served
as receipts for the distribution of $5,000 In $2
bills la a fiction of the yellowest order.
Come, Mr. Kearney Hub and Mr. Lincoln
Journal, do the handsome by taking It back and
apologizing.

consideration. The campaign will be
conducted nlong educational line, prin
cipally, as it hna been clearly shown, in
other cities, that the greatest reduction
In aecldents has been madn by teaching
the public to exercise constant care and

Justification for the work in this etate.
The number of accidents, fatal and
non-fatal, occurring on the streets ha. In
creased to an appalling extent in recent
years. Thia la due to narrow streets,
iiuiReat.on of traffic, the Increasing use
of motors and other fast traveling
vehicles, together with the thoughtless
ness of lare section of the public, both
In vehicles and on foot. The Nebraska
Safety league has the following ohjects
and with the full co-opcrntlon of the
K petal public, can do a great work In
lessening the'accidenta upon our streets:

One Touch of Winter.
Jolly Jack Frost has come a-leaping upon us
after an unusually long period of Indian sum
mer and his first frisky touch has made us all
kin. Nature has no single stroke that weaves
a more widely harmonizing spell about us than
this Initial burst of cold weather. It sends us
all alike on one mission bent bent over the
coal pile. But this Is once when we of the great
Nebraska Orange belt will hardly have the ef
frontery to complain not at this end of the
winter. For we have had all the better of the
bargain with the coal man thus far. What he
may do to us later Is beyond our ken now. But,
on the theory that "sufficient unto the day Is
the evil thereof," that Is not a matter to worry
over yet. 8o much material compensation comes
with the approach of cold weather, peculiarly so
this year, that It la not apt to arouse many or
loud murmurs.
Not Oar Casus Belli
What, If any, action the United States is to
take In the matter of the French and British
controversy with Ecuador and Columbia will
not be determined until after the result of the
8tate department's investigation of the charges
implied In the notes sent by the two nations. As
things stand now, the American idea is that this
la an Issue between the European and South
American government and not one that shall
call for direct interference from ue. The French
and British notes indited Columbia and Ecuador
on the charge of aiding German warships In
violation of neutrality obligations. Both the
European governments, in due conformance
with diplomatic agreements with us. advised the
United States of their action when it was taken.
Thereupon Secretary Bryan ordered our dlplo
matic agents in the South American countries
to investigate all the facts and report.
Very naturally, as usually happens in such
Ituations, many of our own people leaped at
once to the conclusion that the Monroe doctrine
was Involved by the French and British deliver
ances. That, however, is disputed by those who
take the position that while the United States
may commend the observance of neutrality
obligations, it . not called on to compel any
uch action by Ecuador and Columbia. It is
further believed that while a warning should if
necessary, be given these two little republics' It
should come, not from the United States, but
ron, France and Great Brtltan and their allies.
U is well. th9 meantime, for Americans to
reserve both their feeling, and the expression
of them and not become disturbed over the pos-
about V$? 0t UF MCred Monro
standing than anything eUe American.
Chicago has some lolkswbo think of going

SMILING REMARKS.

Western Laborer iF. A. Kennedy, defeated r' pub
lit an fop state senator): I made one speech of two
minutes at a nonpartisan meeting on Ames avenue.

candidate for governor, except the landslide year ot
IWXi. In the history or the stater Think of it: The
worst trimming ever given a republican candidate for
govermr! Ain't It awful?
Kevrral Way a to Ks plaint l(.
Nellgh Leader: For the first time In the history
of Nebraska the democrats have elected a majority
of the state officers and In addition will control both
branches of the legislature. That the plea of "sus
tain the president" had considerable to do with the
result by keeping democrnts In line Is probably true,
but a prime reason was that the head of th iepub
llcan ticket based his fight, not upon the real Issues
of tho campaign, but upon his personal differences
with other Omaha politicians concerning which the
leople of the state 'vera Indifferent The further fact
that several on the ticket had in the past been free
with their hammers against republican officials i'I.I
not help thera any when they themselves wanted
votea.
Rat Will They Happen to Ron Again?
Plattsmouth Journal: About every candidate that
the Newa supported In Omaha sicms to have gotten
it in the neck. The defeated will know what to do
In the future. If they happen to run again for office.
Majorities No Trlbale President.
Fremont Tribune: Congressman Stephens was
overgeneroua In his declaration that file majority in
the district was In support of Prealdent Wilson and
his policies. In proof of this statement, hitherto made
by the Tribune, It might be asked how It came that
Frank Reavts, republican, beat Magulre In the First
district, and Congressman Klnkatd, republican, In
creased his majority from the Big Blxth by 2,000 votes?
Jaat Coaldn't Bear to Deprive Vs.
Emerson Enterprise: The speeches that Howell
made through out the atate were too socialistic to suit
the republicans and others In Nebraska and he was
left In Omaha so that he could look after the water
proposition in that municipality. And, really, he Is a
mighty good man for the Job.
(...fat netrreen Two Fire..
Tekamah Journal: Mr. Howell hurt his candidacy
quite as much aa he may have thought he was bene
fitting It by alluding to his Omaha troubles In every
speech he made during the campaign. - Mr. Howell
waa defeated not so much by those republicans wh
did not like his attitude In the Taft campaign as by
the desertion of those democrats who he may have
thought would vote for him njid the refusal of the
bull moose element to give him its support Mr.
1 low ell had really no right to expect the loyal al
legiance from the old line republicans that he re
ceived, for he, while still national committeeman, de
serted the party la, the time of Its sore need. Al
though promising to abide by the result of the Chi
cago convention, he failed to make his word good
and did nothing whatever to aid the Taft campaign
He deserved Just what he received in the last election.
Twice Told Tales
Her Difficult Choice.
Mr. Plowden, the well known London magistrate,
who has just retired from the bench, has a great
repertoire of good rtorles.
His favorite one relates to a case In which he ap
peared as counsel. In the course of this case he had
to cross-examine the wife of a notorious burglar.
"You ore the wife of thia man?" he asked.
"I am." she replied.
"You knew he was a burglar when you married
him?" he proceeded.
I did," she admitted. '
"How could you possibly marry such a man?" Mr
Plowden demanded.
"Well, It was like this," the witness explained,
confidentially: "I was getting old and two chaps
wanted to marry me. It wasn't easy to choose be
tween 'em, but In the end I married BUI there. The
other chap wns a lawyer, same as you, sir."

"A vegetarian aenalor waa entertaining a half

hardly touched, the various courses of fish, beef and

crisp celery, the delicate cresa and the appetizing salad
of chicory and lettuce.
"A fat, ruddy constituent said:
" 'Senator, what board mought ye be raj'ln' here?"

PROTECT the Family
In Winter Driving--
Kveryliody knows the Hupmohlle
has long been the car of the Amer
ican family.
Now It la the winter car of the
American family, because the Sedan
top gives the family complete pro
tection on winter trips, saya the Cad
Iliac Co. of Omaha, the local Ilupmo
blle dealer.
I'd like you to see the car with the
top fitted, because I'm pretty sure
)ou will want one for your own
family.
The extra cost is so small that It
I. out of all proportion to the com
fort afforded and the colds and doc
tor bills It prevents.
Its appeaxance is bandsome it
harmonises perfectly with , the 1I5
IlMp's beautiful lines it is substan
tially built and firmly, though tem
pororily, attached.
Inside it compare, with the richest
limousine.
And when spring comes, take It off
and store it away for ute toe nest
winter.
If you care for your family, com
fort and your own, better see the new
car
