Complaint on Roads.
Throughout the western county
(here Is much complaint over the
lethargy of the state administration
in road building. The Bryan trick
in holding up road building until just
before election hasn't prftved the least
bit popular, and it is generally believ
ed that delay in awarding road con
trails will leave many unfinished
roads when winter arrives and work
on l he roads must end.
Mr. McMullen in his talk today con
tinues to stress Importance of safe
guarding water power site* In the
state and repealing the intangible
tax law.
He also pointer! to the fact that
road building must continue and out
lined the plan of the Farmers' union
for rutting auto licenses In half and
imposing a gasoline tax as a means
of raising revenue or road building
for consideration of the. voter*.
Must Study Plan.
"This plan must be studied thor
oughly by communities and before the
next session of the legislature public
opinion should be crystallised suffi
ciently so members of the legislature
mav know what you want done re
garding road building, road mainte
nance and paying for this work," Mr.
McMullen told his audiences.

Editor of Literary Digegt, in
Telegram to The Omaha
Bee, Scoffs at Charge
Election Poll “Faked.”
“Conspiracy Impossible”
William Seavrr Woods, editor of
the Literary Digest, in a telegram to
The Omaha Bee Monday Indignantly
denies the charge of Harry B. Fle
harty, democratic candidate for at
torney general of Nebraska, that the
presidential straw vote Is being
"faked,” or that the magazine is be
ing imposed upon.
The New York editor clearly ex
plains In his telegram, the Impossi
bility of postmasters engaging In a
conspiracy to give Coolidge a' bigger
vote in the poll than he Is entitled
to. Wood's telegram follows:
Text of Telegram.
“We are surprised that anyone
should have been Imposed upon by
the charge alleged to have been made
by Harry B. Fleharty, democratic
candidate for attorney general of Ne
braska, that the nation wide poll of
the Literary Digest on the presiden
tial candidates Is 'a farce and the
lead of the republican candidates is
due to the work of partisan postmas
ters all over the country voting bal
lots which they have been unable to
deliver.'
"We have not yet bad the oppor
tunity of reading Mr. Fleharty’s
statement in full and all we have seen
of it is what appeared in a special
dispatch to the New York World of
October 6, but if, as he Is seid to have
alleged, republican postmasters all
over the country are engaged In a
conspiracy to mark the Literary
Digest ballots for Mr. Coolidge, will
Mr. Fleharty please explain how It
happens that the ballots from Wiscon
sin ehpw a very strong tendency in
that state for Mr. La Follette? Will
Mr. Fleharty explain also how the
ballots In California show that Mr.
la Follette la running v^ry close to
Mr. Coolidge?
"Conspiracy" Ridiculous.
■'Human nature being what It is,
It is not beyond possibility that of the
370,0U0 postal employes in the l.'nlted
States some should be weak enough
to tamper with the mall but It is safe
to assume that there are not so many
such weak ones as to make possible
such a conspiracy as Mr. Fleharty
accuses the postmasters of being en
gaged Vi- But even supposing there
was such a conspiracy, the con
spirators would get nothing for their
pains except perhaps the loss of
their jobs, because no fraud can get
past the lynx-eyed vigilance of the ex
pert tally clerks employed on the
Digest poll.
"Another point! Supposing there
are a few recreant postmasters, as
Mr. Fleharty charges, the number "f
ballots they could mark would be in
significant In a poll of such enormous
size as that of the Literary Itigest. As
to the charge that the ballots of the
present poll are undelivered because
the addresses are taken from old lists,
we should like to emphasize the fact
that the lists from which we have
taken these addresses were complet
ed in the state of Nebraska during
the past summer.
"We have no reason to believe that
they would not he made as correctly
In such towns as Norfolk and Fre
mont In Nebraska as In other part* of
the country.
Investigation Faully.
"A* an Illustration of the value of
the Investigation described in the
Omaha dispatch to the New York
World, we beg to call attention to the
following: Postmaster Bartllng ol
Nebraska City Is quoted as saying
that from 400 to 600 ballots were re
reived there and 136 are undelivered.
Now the fact Is that our records show
that 2,404 ballots were sent to Ne
braska City. If 136 are undelivered,
everybody who is farnlller with large
mailing lists knows that a non-deliv
ery of only 136 out of 2,404 ballots
mailed is « remarkable showing of
efficiency and the accuracy of our
lists. Whenever we have had a na
tion wide poll during the past years
there always appeared critics who for
this reason or that attacked the hon
esty of the poll. The best answer to
such attacks Is the record of the Di
gest polls which shows that although
they nre merely straw voles they in
variably have come pretty close to
forecasting the results of the actual
election.

I
rioover Suggests
National System
of Radio Programs
Secretary Opposes Attempts
to Monopolize Air, Says
Local Stations Are of
First Importance.
Washington, Oct. 6.—Organization
of a national system of radio pro
grams through a broadcasters' associ
ation, to give service much as press
associations do for newspapers, was
suggested by Secretary Hoover to
night In an address opening the third
national radio conference.
The conference is attended by
representatives of all branches of the
Industry and was called by Hoover to
consider the numerous problems of
radio development in the United
Slates. Beginning tomorrow morning,
the general sessions will»he open to
the public for presentation of any
problem involving the industry.
The sddrosses tonight were broad
cast through a system of 16 radio
stations, others In addition to the
secretary scheduled Jo speak being
C. P. Edwards of the Canadian de
partment of marine and fisheries and
Pedro P. Torres of the Cuban radio
service.
lyoral Stations First.
In presenting his fierts tonight
Secretary Hoover reiterated his oppo
sition to any attempt to monopolize
the air, declaring that, local broad
casting stations are of first import
ance and must not be driven fn-m the
field.
The secretary's suggested plan for
a national program association would
provide for a self sustaining system
of interconnection of radio broadcast
ing stations and the offering through
those stations the best the nation has
in music and entertainment.
"My proposition,” Hoover said, "is
that the local station must he able
to bring to Its listeners even' Im
portant national event with regular
ity. The local station must be able
to bring to Its listeners the greatest
music and entertainment of the na
tion, but far beyond this it must be
able to deliver important pronounce
ments of public men, It muat bring
instantly to our people a hundred and
one matters of national Interest.
"To this It must add matters of
locrl interest. This can only be ac
complished by regularly organized In
ter-connectlon on a national basis
with nationally organized and direct
ed programs for some part of the
day in supplement to more local ma
teriai
Not Governmental Place.
"It may he stated with assurance
that the greatest advance in radio
since our last conference is the com
plete demonstration of th* feasibility
of Interconnection. We owe a debt
of gratitude to those who have blazed
the way. The ploneera have been the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company In wire Interconnection,

the Jury quick In rearhlng a deci

Old John Quincy Her lit Bull, the pels

a passing order of things and hot

The trial was part of the festivities
which marked the stop of the pure

across the slate. Is loaded with pine
hred dairy sires from the college farm
of the College of Agriculture of the
University of Nebraska at Lincoln.
When the train stopped here, 2,0110
persons were st the station to greet

of citizens of Sewart Hnd vicinity.
More than 1.500 persons turned
out to greet the train here. They
were anxious to hear the advice of
the experts who accompany the train
and seemed eager to do everything

Coolidge First, La Follette Next
in Nebraska, Predicts J. H. Allen
Lincoln Political Seer Fore
casts Victory for McMul
len and Norris in
Races.
"Tower and Power" Allen, pictur
esque democratic leader of Lincoln,
and one of the real political seers of
the west, believes that Nebraska will
give majorities to both Coolidge and
McMullen.
He was In Omaha Monday and
made his pre election prognostication.
"Coolidge will carry the state with
ease," he said. "La Folletfe will be
second and Davis third. McMullen
will be the next governor of Nebras
ka, and Senator Norris will be re
elected to the United States senate,"
Wrong Once In 30 Years.
"Tower and Power" signs his
checks J. H. Allen, hut he has been
known by his unusual sobriquet for
many years. He takes pride In his
ability to pick election winners. In
1896 he made a wager that Bryan
would rarry Nebraska by 10,000, and
he also won an overcoat that year by
making the closest guess as to the
Commoner's majority over McKinley
In this state.
"The only election bet I ever lost,"
Allen said, "was In 1918. when I pre
dicted Morehead would defeat Norris
for the senate.”
Allen Works for MrMullen.
On one or two occasions "Tower
and Power" has supported republicans
for local or judicial offices, but this
Is the first year he has ever been for
a republican gubernatorial nominee.
He is not onlv In favor of McMullen,
but he Is out In the state working
for him. For the last five weeks he
has made an extensive tour of Ne
braska. He will campaign for an
oth»r week before returning home.
‘Trading will not do any good,"
I —!
said Allen. "The people of Nebraska
have faith In McMullen's honesty and
bis solid convictions in the same
manner that they believe in Coolidge.
"I've never been wrong in my judg
ment of Nebraska elections but once
in 30 years. This year is an off year
for democrats. Mark my word and
do your laotlng that way."

Washington. Oct, « —With Presi
dent t'ooliilge as its presiding officer,
the fourth annual Red Cross conven
tion opened today, attended by hun
dreds of chapter delegates from nfl
parts of the country. As honorary
president of the Tied Cross, Coolidge
was the first speaker and in hi* ad
dress commended the organization
and its work
Among the other speakers was
Brig Hen. Frank T. Hines, director
of the veterans bureau, who ex
plained what steps have been or are
being taken to promote the welfare
of America's veterans. Many of the
recommendation* passed at previous
Red Cross conventions for the bene
fit of veterans, he said, had been
put Into effect either by congres
sional legislation or by the veterans
bureau itself. He quoted as instances
the hospitalisation and the de.-entral
la.itlop programs of the bureau. At
present, he declared, 38.000 rehabil
itated soldiers are In better positions
and earning liefter salaries than be
fore tlie war.
Director Hines said up to 1921 war
veterans had lieen housed In ordi
nary existing hospital*, but since
then $40,000,000 had been spent for
the construction of suitable hospitals,
with the result that at present 25 of
these are completed with an accom
modation of in.oon beds. Other hos
pitals are still under construction
capable of housing l.ioo more pa
tlents.
Marquis Hast on. chairman of the
Chicago chapter, was elected tempo

New York. Oct. G,—When you art
old and feeble, and the gray whisker?
are hanging low, and yhu can't tod
die out to the ball yard any more
and you have to sit back and lister
to the young folks gabble about theii
great players—tell 'em about Frisch
When they get to talking of the
wonderful plays they see, about the
slashing stops, and the marveloui
throws their players are making—
tell ’em about FrisAl
When they start speaking of sec
ond-basing in particular, and brag
glng of the way second base Is play
ed in their time—tell 'em about
Frisch!
Tell 'em most specifically about the
way Frisch played second base in the
third game of the world series of
1924. playing it at the Polo Grounds,
for the New York Giants against
Washington's American league cham
pions.
Tell ’em how he not only played
all of second, but some of the cent«i
field, and a good slice of right field.
too.
‘'Seven l>egeed Devil."
Tell ’em how Frisch played seoom
—center—right for the Giants unt
il* took on in the eyes of the Wash
ington fans sitting in the grandstand,
the aspect of a seven-legged devil
though in truth and in fact he sat
only a slim young fellow with a pleas
ant smile, a few years out of Ford
ham university.
Tell ’em—these sapient young fans
who will not have seen Frisch, "the
Fordham flash”—how he played so
much of the baseball field in one
game that he was at least 99 per cent
of the Giants' winning that third
world series game by a score of G
to 4.
Tell ’em this 99 per cent represent
ed Frisch's work on defensive behind
some loose pitching by various Giant
pitchers. The other one per cent of
the New York victory you may as
sign to the general futility of the
Washington pitching as produced by
five different Washington pitchers.
Yes. sir. tell 'em about Frisch!
Tell 'Em Over Shoulder.
Tell 'em how he twice raced int*
the outfield and pulled In wicked
twisty, fly balls, taking 'em coming in
over his shoulder.
Tell ’em how time and again he
plunged far to his right, or farther
still to his left, and bagged bounding
balls that biased with disaster for the
Giants.
Tell 'em how he burned up that old
hall field with his speed, and accur
acy. and finally, when he came to bat
In the eighth Inning, his little cap
perched high on hi* head, 50.000 pen
pie joined In a spontaneous burst of
applause, tribute to a great vourg ar
tist of the game, and how he blushed
a deep red clear down the back of
hts neck.
His young legs, and his wonderful
baseball hands, as delicate In thei
way. a* sure, and true as the hands of
a treat pianist, had kept that game
frmp wriggling away from the Giant*
on numerous occasion*.
l’oor Game a* Whole.
It was a pood game, taken as a
whole, but Frisch splashed a thrill.
Mood red and tingling, through ntos'
of It. In the seventh inning when
Washington had two men on base*
and two out, he covered an amaxing
stretch of ground in a few leaps
grabbed a bounding drive from
''Goose” Goslin s hat. and ended the
Inning with an astonishing threw te
first.
Others made sensational plays
notably 8am Rice, who caught a ha
with one hand up against the concrete
wall in right field, but Frisch made
such a auccession c sensational plays
he was one continuous sensation.
