OVER NEBRASKA ELECTORS
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. (Special)—
Secretary of State Pool says that
unless objections are filed with him
within the time limit of the law, he
will approve the filing of La Follette
and Wheeler, nominated by a mass
convention. The law is rather
vague, und there is a chance for a
lawsuit, but the republicans and
democrats are quite willing to over
look the opportunity. The courts
have been liberal in their construc
tion of the election laws, in the in
terest of allowing freedom of oppor
tunity for voters to support whoever
they wish. If La Follette carries the
state, the governor says he will name
the electors put up by the mass con
vention. but the chance Is good for
an Injunction then as the law re
quires nominations of electors to be
made by a delegate convention.

LABOR VOTES TO KEEP
OUT OF POLITICS
Hastings, Neb., Sept. —Reiterat
ing Its decision to keep apart from
any political organization, the Ne
braska Federation of Labor endorsed
the legislative and political program
of the American Federation ot moor.
While this Includes the endorse
ment of LaFollette and Wheeler of
ficers of the organization declare
that they consider the candidates in
dependent. Lincoln was selected as
the next convention city.
Raggedy Andy went ahead through
the deep, deep woods, and behind
him came Raggedy Alin, Mrs. Ming
ie. Mr. Mungle, the Thingutn and the
Zumzee.
Th«y were following the crooked
legged man and the Snickle to the
man's new house where he had
taken Mrs. Mlngle's magic cupboard
f'id the magical hobby horse.
It was very easy to follow the
crooked legged man and the Snickle
for they never once suspected that
onr friends had found the magic door
which led out of the man's strange
little house.
"Ha! Raggedy Ann and Mrs. Min
gle and their friends will never get
out of my house!” the crooked 'egged
man laughed to the Snickle, "For
they can never find the little ma,;o
door which leads down to the brook.”
"And wv> shall have’the magic cup
board all for our very own!” the
Snickle laughed, "I could eat a lot
of cream pi right now if 1 had
Borne!"
"Ha! Then we will go right to
my house and get some out of the
magic cupboard!" the crooked legged
man said.
In a short time the two came to
the new house of the crooked logged
man and went insiibs. So Ragged/
Andy held up his rag hand for his
friends to stop.
"We will slip up quietly to the
floor," Raggedy Andy said, "Then
when I hold up my hands, we must
all rush Inside the house and sur
prise the crooked legged man and
the Snlokle.”
So all, walking upon their tiptoes
slipped up to the crooked legged
man’s house and stood waiting,, for
Baggedy Andy to give the signal for
them all to rush Inside.
But just as Raggedy Andy tsas
about to lift his hand as a signal,
the door flew open and the ciool ed
legged man and the Snickle came
flying out, turning head over heels
as they came
When thoy quit rolling, the crooked
legged man and the Snickle cried,
"WOW!” and Jumping to their feet
went galloping away through the
bushes, not stopping once to look
behind them.
“Well!” Mrs. Mingle said, T won
der what happened?”
"I don’t know!” Raggedy Andv
said, “They seemed afraid of some
thing; didn’t they?”
“Ha. ha, ha!’* the magical hobby
horse laughed as he heard Raggedy
Andy’s voice and came to the door
"I guess they were afraid!” Then
because the Raggedys and their
friends did not know the cause of
the fright, the hobby horse sa!r’:
“When the crooked legged man
locked me up with the magic cup
board here in the house and went
to hunt the Snickle, I climbed Into
the cupboard so when he came back
and opened the cupboard, I gave
both the man and the Snickle two
hard thumps with my wooden legs!
They expected to get two cream puffs
and when they received the hard
thumps, they went rolling out the
door!” •
"Thank you, hobby horse!” Mrs.
Mingle said. “Now we must put the
cupboard upon the wagon again and
hurry away before they return!” So
in a few moments the Raggedys and
their friends were far down the path
leaving the mean little crooked leg
ged man and the Snickle far behind.
'•Well!" Mr. Mungle said as he
came to a stop and looked through
the trees to where a large castle stood
upon a hill. “I wonder if that is a
giant’s castle?”
"It isn’t large enough for a giant’s
“It Isn't Large Enough for a Giant’s
Castle Is It?’’ Raggedy Ann Asked.
castle, Is it?” Raggedy Ann asked in,
reply.
“Here comes a man walking down
the path!” Mrs. Mingle said. "Let us
ask him about the castle.”
When the man came up to them
Raggedy Ann asked, "Who lives in
that castle on the hill?”
“Hum!” the man mused as he look
ed at the Raggedys and the Thingum
and the Zurnzee and Mrs. Mingle and
Mr. Mungle, “If you do not wish to
bo captured by the Genii who lives
in the castle, you had better turn
around and run home as fast as you
can go! The Genii captures everyone
who comes this way almost!"
“Then If he captures everyone, how
is it that he hasn’t captured you?"
Raggedy Ann asked.
“Ha!" the man laughed, “the Genii
knows better than to try to capture
me! I am going to be a policeman
next week and I would arrest him
sure pop!”
“Dear me!” the Zumzee and the
Thingum cried, “If we can't go any
farther, how can we ever expect to
find our Mama?"
“I’ll bet a nickel the Genii has your
Mama locked up in the castle!" the l
man said.
“Then we shall go right up tin re
and rescue her!" Raggedy Ann said,
“That's what we will do!”
“My goodness! the Genii will lock
all of you up, then no one will l>e
rescued,” the man said, “You’d bet jf
run back home real quick!”
But the Raggedya were not afraid,
neither were Mrs. Mingle and Mr
Mungle, the Thingum and the Zum
zee. They walked right up the hilS
and knocked with sticks upon th*
door of the castle.
"What do you want!” the voice of
the Genii cried, “Don't you know
that I capture everyone who come*
tiiis way?”
"You just come out here a minute,
Mr. Genii!” Raggedy Ann said.
When the Genii came out, ho tried
to grab Raggedy Ann, but Raggedy
Andy gave hirn a thump upon hi*
wrist with n stick. "Wow!” the Gen!*
howled as he tried to grab Raggedy
Andy. But Mrs. Mingle gave the Genii
another hard crack with her stick.
Then Mr. Mungle whacked the Gent*
upon the head and the others thump
ed him upon the legs and back, "Oh?
Ouch!” the Genii cried, “Please d®
not thump me again and I will not
capture you!”
So Raggedy Ann made the Geni*
promise to turn everyone in the cast!*
free. And when the Genii did this,
the Thingum and the Zumzee soon,
found their nice Mama. And as all the
prisoners had not had anything to
eat except fried chicken and mashed
potatoes and cream gravy for six
years, Mrs. Mingle with her magic
cupboard was soon able to give every
one a fine dinner. And everyone wa»
so glad to be free, they could hardly
tat for singing.
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy
made the Genii, who lived in th*
great castle on the top of the hill, let
all lus prisoners go, so the Zumze*
and the Thingum soon found theic
Jlama.
And Mrs. Mingle, who had com*
with the Raggedys to rescue th*
Thingum and the Zumzee’s nice ma
ma opened her magic cupboard an<*
gave everyone a very fine picnic
right out in front of the Genii's castle.
Kveryone was very glad to be res
cued from the Genii, for some of theirs
had been shut up in the Genii's cast!*
for six years, and that is a very long:
time.
When the Gcnni saw Mrs. Mingle’*
magic cupbcard, and saw that Mrs..
Mingle only had to make a wisl*
and reach inside the cupboard i»*
get whatever she wished for, the
Genii said to himself, "There Is some
thing I need!” And he sat down and!
scratched his head to try to think
of some way to get the cupboard
away from Mrs. Mingle.
"An easy way to do would be ti»
run up and take it right away from
her!” the Genii thought. “But if F
do that while Mr. r.Tunsle and the
Thingum and the Zumzee and Hi*
Raggedys are with ter. I am surer
they would take the cupboard away
from me and give me seme liar.”
tluimpa with their r’icks!” And whilre
everyone Was laugnlng and talking*
end happy because ;hey (had been res
cued from the Genii, the Genii wa»:
planning a way tc get tlio best -it
Mrs. Mingle, so he waited u itil every
one had had as many ice cream cones*
and lollypops as they wished andl
had started for home. Then when th»
Genii saw the Thinjum and tlu* Zum
zee leave with tlielr nice Mama., the
Genii walked to w\ tre the Raggedy*
and Mrs. Mingle Jnd Mr. Mungle
sat feeding the crumbs to the^ littleo
ants. "Won’t you come into my
castle and see the nice things I have
in there?” he asked our friends
“Thank you, Mr. Genii!” Raggedy
Ann said. “We would be pleased to*
see the wonderful things!”
80 the Genii led the way Into th*
castle and slyly locked the door ante
put the key In his pocket. Raggedy*
Ann saw him do this, but she diet
not say anything.
Then the Genii led the way into**
his magic room and showed the Rag
gedys and Mrs. Mingle and Mr..
Mungle his wonderful maglo merry
go-round, his magic chute the chuf<.a
and swings and soda water fountaitr
and talking picture book. Then wlie-t
all were listening to the magic talk
ing picture books, the Genii passetS
around a box of chocolate candy.
It was magic candy, but the Rag
gedys and Mrs. Mingle and Mr.
Mungle did not know It, so where
they ate the magic candy they all
went to sleep right wherever thov*
happened to be sitting.
Then didn’t the Genii laugh! “Aha.!”"
he cried. “That was the time t
fooled the Raggedys! Now I shalK
own the magical cupboard and I shale
begin to capture more prisoners right
away!” And leaving Raggedy Atm.
and Raggedy Andy and Mrs. Miagla
and Mr. Mungle fast asleep, the Genii’
walked out to where the woodei*
hobby horse stood beside Mrs,
Mingle’s magic cupboard.
