Sa HP HE WONDER CAR of the year, A the biggest little car on the mar ket. See this car and have a demon stration. We are carrying also the Willys-Knight, a larger car. We have two very good usea x tucks come Serious Auto Accident There was much excitement in Union last Sunday afternoon and Monday on account of the very ser ious accident which occurred about a mile and a half south of Union on Sunday evening, in which a number of people were very seriou.;ly injur ed and it was feared for a time that some of the occupants of t!e wreck ed cars would die. Miss Lovey Hiatt, of Sidrey, Iowa, was coming north and was accomp anied by her brother-in-law, Frank R. Gobelman, of Plattsmouth, and Mrs. Blanche Streight, of Sidney. Miss Hiatt was driving one of the new Fords, with which she was not overly well acquainted, having driv en one of the old style Fords prior to the acquisition of this one. At the same time Joseph Hill and family, of Percival, Iowa, were returning home from a visit with friends and rela tives at Murray and Union, and were going south, being just south of the narrow bridge near the home of Jay Austin. Another car was between them, occupied by Fred Cleveland, and in coming down the hill Miss Hiatt's car gathered a' lot of speed, causing her to turn out to pass the car of Mr. Cleveland and she did not notice the car of Mr. Hill until it was too late to avoid a collision. The cars came together with much force and in the shake-up, four were very badly injured, they being Mr. and Mrs. Hill, Miss Hiatt and Mr. Gobel man. The three former were taken to the hospital at Nebraska City, but Mr. Gobelman was removed to his home at Plattsmouth. The two Hill children, who were in their car at the time, escaped without serious In jury, as did Mrs. Streight, the other ocupant of Miss Hiatt's car. J. W. Hill, a brother of Joseph Hill, the injured man in the wreck, in company with his wife, daughter and the latter's husband, while en route to Nebraska City Monday to see the injured relatives, stopped at the scene of the accident and was struck by a passing car, with the re sult that his own bU3 was damaged as well as the occupants shaken up consiaeraDiy. Madison, Wis., Oct. 20. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, in a cam paign speech here tonight, renewed his attack on Herbert Hoover's pat riotism. "There is one consoling fact in this campaign." Reed began. "We have the chance to vote for one man whose citizenship does not require an official certificate. "Nobody has ever suspected Al Smith of being a naturalized British subject. "His name has never been certi fied to a British election board as possessing the voting qualifications of a British taxpayer. Never in Question. "Al Smith's place of residence has never been in question. "Smith has not been obliged to maintain a ghost habitat at Stan ford university, or at any other place. "Governor Smith has never been tendered an English titleb y the British government. "Al Smith's investments are not so large as to require syndication." Tonight was the first time since the democratic national convention that nominated Governor Smith for the presidency that the tongue of the grey and vitriolic Missouri senator had been loosed in such a bitter at tack on the republican presidential nominee's citizenship. Hoover Not a Republican Reed went even farther than that. He said that Hoover was not a re publican; that he was a changeling and an opportunist. In 1920, said Reed, Hoover was boomed by Colonel House as a demo cratic successor to Woodrow Wilson and Hoover was acquiescent. Senator Reed -quoted from public statements of Senator Charles Cur tis (Hoover's Tunning mate), Sena tor Simeon D. Fess, of Ohio, who delivered the keynote of the repub lican convention this year, and Sen ator William E. Borah, who is cam paigning for Hoover, to show that those men formerly were critical of the candidate they now are support ing. Belgium Imported Food. He set out to explode the myth that Hoover was the savior of Bel gium when he served as food admin istrator during the world war. "In the feeding of the Belgians," pReed said, "Mr. Hoover was, in fact, performing a great service for the British and French governments. The simple facts are that Belgium im ported a large part of her food sup plies. When Germany invaded Bel gium, England caused the closing of the ports of Holland through which Belgium received her supplies. "Accordingly, arrangements were finally made by which Germany stip ulated that supplies to the Belgians would not be seized, but the supplies must be sent in through an agency of neutrals." Reed said that France and Eng land wanted the Belgians to have food so that the morale of the Bel gian army would not go to pieces. Farmers Spffered During War. "He (Hoover) bled the farmers white during the war," said Reed. "He reduced the price of farm pro ducts far below the war level, whilst the farmers were compelled to bus at war level. But now comes Mr. Hoover and says he has a remedy for the farmers. He does not know just what it will be, but it will be some thing. Lincoln Star.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS will support Herbert Hoover as President and not annoy him, and thus our District will have an active, affirmative part in the affairs of government. Read this comment: "Senator Burkett, Eepublican Candidate for Congress, makes no apologies for the fact that he introduced bills and made speeches when he was in Congress. Over at the Bnrr picnic his opponent said that speeches and introdnction of bills was a useless extrava gance. When Senator Burkett came to reply, he said that he had always believed that the needs and ideals of his District onght to be advocated and fought for on the floor of Congress, and that he had introduced a good many bills and made a good many speeches in the past-and would do so in the future. He referred to his speech for free lumber, for rural free delivery, irrigation, more liberal pensions to soldiers, educational and agricultural bills all as worth while. "He stated that a good many of the bills that he had intro duced have become law, , such as the Postal Savings Bank bill, the Boiler Inspection bill, Freer Lumber, Teaching of Agriculture in Normal Schools, Pension bills and others, and that if the people elected him, he would be found in the future fighting for their in terests and their needs, just as he had done in the past" Talmage Tribune. .a
