^ omen Hold Jamieson Bi" Thorn in Side Anti-Female Suffrage Work of Democratic Congression al Candidate Returns Like Banquo’s Chost. Omaha women who are being asked to vote for W. N. Jamieson, demo cratic candidate for congress in this district, are wondering whether Jatnleson believes their memory is so short that they have forgotten the role he played in connection with the referendum petition against women's suffrage filed with the secretary of state during July, 1917. A memorable action was brought In Lancaster county against this peti tion hy Edna M. Barkley, president of the Women's Suffrage association of Nebraska, against the secretary of state and various other defendants and Intervenors. District Judge Leonard A. Klansburg entered a de cree on January 25, 1919, holding the referendum petition Insufficient, and his ruling was sustained hy the su preme court. Jamieson Had Charge. The transcript of the case won by the suffragists covers thousands of pages and shows that Jamieson had complete charge of the actual field work and the circulation of petitions, this being testified to by Mrs. L F. Crofoot, who said she employed Jamieson for her association. Tesll mbny shows that Jamieson was paid $2,150.17 for his work of -dx walks and four days in preparing a refer endum petition which Judge F.ans h$irg held was invalid because of “fraud, forgery, false and detective Certificates, signatures of minors or persons who were not electors, signa tures procured through false repre sentation of the circulator and signa tures with Incoriect or fictitious ad dresses.’’ The court found that 29,147 legal signatures were necessary upon the referendum petition in order to con stitute 10 per cent of the legal voters of the state, and that there appeared tm the petition 3,840 names in ex cess of that number, and the court further found that considerably more than 3,840 names on the petition were invalidated and could not be counted. The decree reads that in the case of a circulator named Barclay, 28 of his petitions appeared to be each in the same hadwriting; that 105 wit nesses denied the signatures on these petitions purporting to be theirs, and that most of the 105 signatures were proved to be forgeries. Controlled All Movements. Miss M. G. Paul, who had charge of the office of the Anti-Suffrage as sociation during the circulation of the petitions, testified that Jamieson was “the person who hired and con trolled the movements of the circula tors.’’ "And when the work was going on by the circulators, who controlled their movements as to where they Should go and what they should do?" •&iiss Paul was asked during her testi mony. "With the exception of just a few, he (Jamieson) did entirely,’’ she re plied. "And when Informatftin was desired.

"I would go to Mr. Jamieson, so that he was really the person In charge of getting signatures." "Who employed the circulators who were paid?” "Mr. Jamieson did." During his own testimony Jamie son stated that ho believed he was employed on this referendum petition work by the antisuffiraglsts because he had filed the referendum petition against the workman's compensation law. Fraud Was Apparent. Mrs. C. C. GeArge testified to vari ous instances of petitions being re ceived at antisuffragist headquarters and that their fraudulence was so ap parent "that any child could have seen that, and they were all put In the waste basket. "Jamieson,” she testi fied, “had charge right up to the end and he went to Lincoln and filed the petition.” Paul Sutton, then operating the Sutton Detective agency, testified to signatures of persons who did not exist. J. B. Haynes, who started the referendum petition work, testified he quit because he could not get reliable men to do the work and he so in formed the women. The women who fought for the enactment of the limited women's suffrage law by the legislature in 1917 and who defeated Jamieson’s fraudulent referendum petition, are out in this campaign to remember the democratic nominee for congress but not in the way that he would prefer. The women who engaged Jamieson in 1917 also remember that they paid him $2,160.17 to do work which Judge Flansburg held in his decree contained "fraud, forgery, false and defective certificates.” Omaha women assert they will not forget W. N. Jamieson, democratic candidate for congress, on election day next month. Rev. Bryant Howe to Remove From Columbus to Holdrege Columbus, Neb., Sept. 26.—Aboli. tion of Columbus district of the Methodist Episcopal church In the in terests of administrative economy, announced at tha closing session of the annual Nebraska conference at Omaha, necessitates removal of Rev. Bryant Howe from Columbus to Holdrege where he becomes super intendent of the Holdrege district. Columbus district was created eight years ago. It was found advisable to reduce the number of districts In (he Htato from eight to seven as a matter of economy. Beatrice— A car beiinging to H. Heyn, Fllley farmer, parked on South Second street, was stolen. 4 And the verdict of Hie sweetm noys t—Byford, 14; Stanton, 13, and Harry jce, 8—Is hard, cruel, following the teachings of the Mosaic law. "I reckon we don't ever want to see her again." It was Byford, voicing the opinion the three hold of their mother! the mother who administered poison to the father who romped with them. "We re not going to jail. N'o, she killed my father. We don't care what happens to her. If she ever gets out, I'll never live with her again." * Honor Thy Father. The pastor, however, finds plfy and understanding. Instilled perhaps by the holy lessons which they learned at his knees, prayers move the lips of the three who called him father. "Honor thy father and thy mother." It is the doctrine of the church he once represented and his children re fuse to cast it aside. At the home of their married sister, Marie, at Eaton, where the despond, ent daughter, Mildred, 16, and the son, Robert, 14, found sanctuary, they try to see clearly, calmly. "If wre could only understand,” Marie cries, sending the boy away that she might speak what Is In her heart. In the last year he has been queer. He couldn't sit still. He was not sleeping and he wasn't eating. Mother asked him what the matter was and he said it was funerals and church troubles that were bothering him." "He wai awfully affectionate,” she said. “He'd come in and put, his arm around mother and Buy 'Hello there, sweet honey,’ and she'd push him away and tell him to stop. Always Sick. "And he'd tell her about the peo ple in his congregation. As to women, we never knew a thing. Grace Elliott, the Centerville girl, whose picture they were trying to identify, was my especial chum and I was with her at the picnio when (hepicture they found at our house was taken. "Elsie Sweetin was like a girlfriend to me. Her house is on the hard road, and I d go there and sit on the porch and watch the cars go by. She once said that she wished I was her girl. She'd always put her arm around me. but she never talked about my father. She respected him. Mother thought she wan a real good friend. After her husband died she was always making some excuse for not visiting un. And she was always sick after he died. T guess It was hep < onsvienee. She'd route to rhurch and she'd get so slek she'd have to go home. "When mother was taken sick Klsie ramr (o see her oner She stroked mother's arm and held her hand. She put her arms around me and told me not to cry; that mother might get well." Had l.lke a Brother. “Yes." Marie Interpolates. “and when I got faint she took me out on the hack porch and brought me to. I'd like to have her now. What business did she have mixing up with a married man? It's a woman's busi ness to stop such things. "Dad was like a brother to Robert. The day he signed his confession was Robert's birthday and il almost killed him. Tomorrow is my birthday. What a holiday for us!" Then inherent love for the father, which nothing the world may think or say can quite efface, breaks through to the surface. "Oh, we do want to see daddy," Marie says impulsively, snd her sis ter nods assent. "He’s getting all the blame. No one is feeling sorry for him. We don't want him to hang We don't feel that he ought to be out because he killed mother." To the future the. Hight children so far have had but little opportunity to look.

Perhaps I may get a chance to catch the old rascal on his way back to the Green Forest." 1 So Reddy didn't go far. Of course he discovered almost as soon as it happened that Bowser the Hound had stopped following him. That was be cause Bowser's master had stopped him. Farmer Brown's Boy had chain ed Bowser up.
