PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. MONDAY, OCTOBER, 23, 191 PAGE 2. SMYTH TELLS OF SUTTON'S RECORD Omaha Attorney, Speaking to People of Tolk at Osceola, Does Not Mince Words. , Osceola, Neb., Oct. 19. Waiving the prohibition question on the theory that it is not a partisan issue, C. J Smvth trained his euns on Judge Abraham Sutton, republican candidate for governor, before a crowd that filled to capacity the big court house last night and asked the people of Nebraska to look into the record of "this man who comes before you as the sanctified exponent of the uplift movement." 'Has Mr. Sutton ever given a single thing, has he ever done anything to in dicate that he is in any way better qualified to serve as chief executive of the state than Mr. Neville?" in quired Mr. Smyth. "Mr. Sutton says he stands on his record," continued Mr. Smyth. "That King the case, then I have a right to bring his record into this room and lay it before you. "Mr. Sutton was a member of the legislature in 1902. He voted against the maximum freight rate bill, he voted against the 2-cent passenger bill, he voted against the appropria tion of ?20),000 for sufferers in west ern Nebraska, and he voted against the bill providing passes for stockmen accompanying their stock to market. Yet he voted against the abolition of the railroad pass system. When the bill came before the legislature raising the age of consent from 15 years to 18 years, a measure intended to ex tend greater safeguards about our sisters and daughters, Mr. Sutton op posed and voted against the bill. "Now, tha,t is his record. In every instance his vote was cast against the interest of the masses. But he says he is in favor of the prohibitory amendment and he wants you to en trust him with executive power of the state on his legislative record. Are the intelligent people of Nebraska will ing to overlook such a record when they go to the polls in November?" Mr. Smith said the liquor question was not an issue in the present cam paign as iar as partisan politics is concerned. The voters will settle this question themselves through the ini tiative and referendum, he said. "If the prohibitory amendment car vies, my friend, Keith Neville, ha toii you win consider it a command from the people of the state," said the speaker, "and he will do everything he can to carry out in an effective manner any decision you may make at the polls. He can be counted upon to do this with ability, firmness and vigor." -wr. .-mytn maue an eloquent and logical appeal for support for Senator Hitchcock. He deplored the thought that any man would vote against the senator merely because of differences that the senator may have had, in the past and forgotten, with certain men of his own party. He declared that the defeat of only eight democratic senators this year would throw the control of the senate into the hand of the most reactionary element of the republican party. "Are you willing .that the senate of the United States shall pass into the hands of such men? Are you willing to risk this because Senator Hitch eck and someone else have had little differences in the past?" asked Mr Smyth. -nr. a my in oeciareu mat ne was confident that Senator Hitchcock would be his own successor "just as certain as the sun rises tomorrow, and he will be on hand the next four years to help Wood row Wilson carry on this glorious program of construction that he has already begun." . .re jou going 10 approve or are you going to repudiate the very things you battled for in your fight of'1912?' ;;ked Mr. Smyth. He told the audi ence that republicans in the nation who were more interested in their country than in their party were going to vote for the re-election of Wood row Wilson. He referred to the republi can presidential nominee as Charles "Evasive" Hughes, and in answer to Mr. Hughes criticism of the eight hour law declared that this law was largely a copy of the eight-hour bill presented by William McKinley in 1890. and placed upon the statute loks, but which was never effective because the republicans had failed to attach a penalty for its violation. He took John L. Kennedy, repub lican nominee for the senate, to task for attempting to inject into the cam paign a suspicion that President Wil son has been partial to the south. He said he thought that these United States were one great nation and that the great struggle of fifty years ago Jiad ceased to be an issue in the politi cal affairs of the nation. He said it rcdiculo'is for any man to stand was before an intelligent audience and make such a charge against a presi dent of the Unuited States. Mr. Wil son's three supreme court appointees, he said, were from the north, while seven of his cabinet members were northerners. The recently enacted child labor law, he said, hit the south harder than any other section. The meeting last night concluded Keith Neville's tour of Polk county. When W. S. Heitzman, chairman of the county committee, presented Mr. Neville as the "next governor of Ne: braska," the large crowd cheered en thusiastically. Mr. Neville talked on state issues, and was given another ovation when he concluded. Edgar Howard, candidate for lieu tenant governor, made a heart-to-heart talk to the audience, and pleaded for the support of Keith Neville, the "man whose heart is with you and who will serve you well if elected." W. H. Clemmons of Fremont, candidate for state superintendent, delivered a brief address, eloquent and strong in logic in which he praised the presi dent for keeping us out of war, and made an earnest plea for his re-election. WAR EXPECTED TO LAST A YEAR British Front in France, Oct. 18. (Via London, Oct. 19.) The war will last another year, according to the concensus of opinion among the Brit ish soldiers and their leaders. It is also the opinion of the Germans, if the views of prisoners count for anything. Before the grand offensive started a hip-h authoritv informed the corre spondent of the. Associated Tress that the German line would not be broken this summer and that slow operations, wearing down the Germans, would be inaugurated and would probably last through another summer. With the approach of winter conditions, which would make military movements diffi cult, this officer recalled his prediction, and speaking of the situation today, he said: "We know what the German re sources were and what ours were and the time required to force a decisive victory for our arms is calculation." a matter of Germans Change View. German prisoners taken during the summer invariably spoke of peace be ing a certainty in the autumn. They regarded the Somme thrust as a final effort of the allies for a decision and that after this peace would be made. Their tone has been entirely different of late. They recognize it is a fight to a finish between the man power and resources of the two foes and that an ultimate decision will come from the fearful attrition of the western front which now will make no inter mission until the end. The Germans are determined to make every village on the western front a fortress which will yield only when reduced to pow der by shell fire, and every gully am crater a machine post to secure their defensive against a critical defeat. At a period when the weather is adverse to offensive operations else where the Germans are apparently concentrating every man and gun against Rumania. The -view of the British officers is that the Germans hope to crush Rumania so that when they have to face a common allied offensive in the spring they may not have to defend the immense length of the Rumanian frontier in addition to what they have had to defend this summer. Many German Prisoners-. ii is me universal remark among the British that never has the morale of the prisoners varied more than now. "You will notice that we are always taking prisoners and that the Germans get very few of ours," said a staff of ficer. "Though small parties of our men are bound to get into hazardous positions in this kind of intricate op erations at close quarters, they die rather than yield. This shows their morale and the temper of the situa ; , o nun. come uermans nave never fought better and some have never fought so badly as in the last few weeks. Today, for example, twenty Germans practically threw up their hands, walked into the British lines But the soldiers who took them pris oners or their commanders, had no illusion that their prisoners typified the condition of the German army as a whole. There were other Germans who were ready to fight with that ferocity which expects no quarter." However, whether it is a German who throws up his hands on the ap proach of a British charge or the sur vivor of a score who fought to the death, the opinion as to the duration of the struggle remains the same. All believe that the war has entered a stage where no compromise is to be expected and where victory will go to the side with the ability to stick the longest. Robert Stivers of Cedar Creek was in the city today for a few hours, hav ing some business to look after with the merchants. COMBAT BETWEEN TWO WOMEN WITH OUT SERIOUS DAMAGE This morning in the court of Judge Archer a neighborhood quarrel among some of the residents in the west part of the city was brought to -the at tention of the court and is the out growth of a combat between two ladies residing in that 'locality. It would seem from what could be as certained of the affair that one of the ladies had sold several heads of cab bage to a family residing nearby and for which she was to receive butter in an amount sufficient to pay' for the cabbages. The cabbage was delivered the lady stated to the court but the butter was not forthcoming and right there was where the war commenced. The lady with the butter refused to part with it claiming that there was not more than she needed for the use of their own family and at the same time objected to the owner of the cab bage taking back the cabbage. This led to a few words and finally a war like demonstration was made by one of the parties and the two women came to blows with the result it is claimed that the lady who possessed the cabbage proceeded to pound the head of the other woman on the floor with great violence and in the melee both parties lost considerable of their flowing locks which were pulled out during the opening stages of the bat tle. The lady who owned the butter called the police and made a complaint against her friend who . had owned the Luxurious heads of cabbage, but she failed to appear in court to con test the case and the defendant was allowed to return home with a lecture from the court to hereafter avoid af fairs of this kind which do not in the least add to the peace and quiet of a neighborhood. HON. H. 8, WERNER TO SPEAK HERE SOON One of the closing addresses of the campaign will be offered in this city on Thursday evening when Hon. H. B. Werner, of Ohio, will be sent to this city to address the voters on the issues of the day. Mr. Werner is. speaking over the srate in the interests of the democratic ticket and is a very interesting and forcible orator who will present to the voters the work of the administration and corgress dur ing the last three years and which is proof convincing of the ability of the democratic iitlminisirali"n. This tal ented gentleman will if possible dur ing his tour visit a number of the smaller towns of the country and ad dress the citizens, and where he has appeared during the past few weeks he certainly has had a very flattering reception from the voters.

Bowdish, who have for the past fewyears been mak ing their home in this city, will depart tomorrow for Milford, Neb., where they expect to reside at the Soldier's Home, which the state is maintaining for the aged soldiers of the republic. The health of Mr. Bowdish has been very poorly of late and it is thought that at the Home it will be very much easier to care for him. It is with,re gret that the friends part with these two estimable people, who have during their residence here made a great many warm friends, and they will take with them the best wishes of a large circle of friends.

Hall and his son-in-law, Herman Smith de cided that the gasoline tank, on the auto of Mr. Hall's needed fixing and accordingly they set about to prepare to patch the tank up. As a matter of safety they removed all the gaso line from the tank and washed it out thoroughly as they thought and sudi- cient to guarantee against explosion. The work was not sufficient, however, as when the gentlemen started in to work on the tank a loud explosion took place and the tank was blown sky ward and lrom a square tank was soon reduced to a mass of ruin. For tunately, however, neither of the men suffered any injury from the accident. BARB WIRE CUTS AND WOUNDS Are troublesome to cure. lct a bottle of Farris' Healing Remedy costs 50c make it at home.

Catarrhil Deafness Cannot Be Cured 4 by local applications, as they cannot reach 1 the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal clearness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an In flamed condition of the mucous liningr of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely ' closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, ht-arinc will b destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
