Former Boone County Man
Savs Europe Has Proved
Evils of Socialistic
Government.
All analysis of the issues, men anil
parties in this national campaign will
lead thinking men and women to vote
for t'oolidk'e and Dawes, is the opinion
of William C. Gregg of Hackensack,
N. J., who has been on a speaking
tour in Nebraska.
Mr. Gregg was here for a few hours
Wednesday afternoon, on his way to
Minneapolis. In Nebraska he spoke
at Neligh, Central City, Columbua
Albion and other towns, under the
direction of the republican state cen
tral committee.
’ "I have been to Europe four times
since the armistice," said Mr. Gregg,
"and I observed what socialism has
done overseas. I rode 100 miles on
a government-owned railroad for 6
cents. We don't want Da Folletteism
in this coutnry. Da Follette waves
the red flag. His election would re
sult in business chaos."
Investigates in Wisconsin.
In a recent issue of his publication
I,a Follette stated that "Wisconsin
is the best seif-governed state In all
* of the world.” Mr. Gregg recently
visited Wisconsin to obtain evidence,
if possible, of that claim. He said
he found taxes higher in Wisconsin
than in adjoining states. He found
no better conditions on account of
state supervision of all public utili
ties.
"Omaha has lower electric rates
than are charged in Milwaukee,” Mr.
Gregg stated. "General conditions in
Omaha are comparable with condi
tions in Milwaukee. I failed to find
the boasted improved conditions in
Wisconsin."
Mr. Gregg formerly lived In Boone
county, Nebrasl a, and is now en
gaged In the manufacture of railroad
equipment for the export trade. He
classes himself as an independent in
politics, but during this campaign he
is speaking for Coolidge and Dawes
because he believes the best interests
of the nation will be conserved by
retaining Coolidge and obtaining
Dawes at the November election.
Eastern Farmer Suffers.
"I have been telling the Nebraska
farmers that they are not alone in
encountering problems which seem to
be particularly ldentifed with agri
culture,” the New Jersey man added.
"The farmers of the east have had
their troubles.”
Mr. Gregg had an article in Sep
tember 3 Issue of The Outlook on
• Nebraska. More Prince. Than,
Pauper." which has been extensively
reprinted.

Mfn to “Use Heads” in
All Cases.
"I'se your heads,” is Judge Robert
Patrick s advice to volunteer traffic
officers.
Judge Patrick gave this admonition
aa he reprimanded William Vaughn

Judge Patrick dismissed tlie reck
less driving charges against Mrs.

Sixteenth and Corby streets.
"This sort of thing is the limit.”
declared City Prosecutor Brungardt
in police court Wednesday. “This
officer jumps on the running board
of this woman’s car, orders her to
chase a speeder, and then arrests
her when she hits another oar.
"You fellows ought to get your
brains moving,” he told Vaughn.

and Nil ton had been unable to agree

that he was told to arrest both of
them, when he called the police cap
tain for advice.

StaTf ('urreponrient The Omaha Iter.
Central City, Neb., Sept. 24.—The
republican invasion of the Third con
gressional district under the leader
ship of Adam McMullen, candidate
for governor, continued today. Audi
ences have been increasing in size
daily as the country and townspeo
ple realize that in Adam McMullen
they have a candidate who stands
for a return to truth in state poli
tics.
The energetic E. C. Houston, can
didate for congress, and L. B. John
son, candidate for secretary of state,
continued to travel with Mr. McMul
len and will remain with him until
the Third district tour is completed
Saturday at Fremont.
The itinerary of the candidates to
day Included Genoa, St. Edwards,
Cedar Rapids, Belgrade, t/bretto and
Albion where a night meeting was
held under auspices of the Boone
county republican central committee.
Miss I.uncli to Hear MqMullen.
The reception accorded the candi
dates at St. Edward was extraordin
arily cordial. The St. Edward band,
stationed in the middle of the street,
struck up a lively air. Despite the
fact that (he candidates were behind
schedule and arrived exactly at noon
fully 300 men and women forswore
their dinners and listened for an hour
to the addresses. George Williams, a
• ___
member of the republican state cen
tral committee. and H. F. Lehr.
Boone county chairman, met the can
didates at St. Edward and escorted
them on the remainder of the day's
trip. *
Those in charge of the S*. Edward
meeting were L. V. Styles, Bruce
Webb, A. A. Smith, Howard Cham
berlain and former State Representa
tive Aubrey Brown.
At Genoa, the first stop, George
Rose introduced the speakers. Fully
200 were waiting to meet the candi
dates when they arrived in Genoa.
At Cedar Rapids R. D. Hadley, F.
D. Burgess, jr., H. L. Robinson, G. A.
Rine and C. A. Storrs formed a re
ception committee which Introduced
the speakers to a large crowd wait
ing at a street corner to meet them.
I’upils Dismissed.
Students of the Cedar Rapids high
school had been dismissed to listen to
the addresses and Mr. McMullen devi
ated from a political discussion to ex
plain intricacies of state government
to the pupils.
Former State Senator B. J. Ainlay
and E. R. Brock were in charge of
the meeting at Belgrade. From Bel
grade the candidates drove 33 miles
to Loretta and then back to Albion,
arriving at the latter town two hours
behind schedule, due largely to the
extent and warmth of the reception
accorded them during the day.
Mr. McMullen, In his speeches to
day, stressed the Importance of main
taining roads in Nbraska which al
ready represent millions of dollars In
Investment. H pointed out that In
the last year and a half the road
maintenance department at the state
house had been entirely wiped out
and practically no road building had
been done in that time until In the
last month when numerous contracts
were awarded just bfore election.
Houston Active.
Such procedure is poor economy,
he said, and cannot be followed for
any reason except for the purpose of
making a false showing. Mr. Hous
ton continued his energetic campaign
during the day. His talks are brief
and pointed. Before a meeting is
concluded he has met and shaken
hands with every man on the
streets. Despite Mr. Houston's 60
odd years he runs around with as
much agility as a young man of 25.
After he concluded his speech from
a wagon at St. fcidward he didn't
stop to clamber down as the others
did. He leaped from It the same as
a boy does. The principal plank In
Mr. Houston's campaign for congress
follows: “If elected I pledge my best
efforts to place agriculture on an
equal basis with alt other Industries
and will support any legislation that
will bring about this result.”
