Plot to Throw Election Into House Is Bared Democrats and La Follette Conspired Months Ago to Block Voters’ Choice, Sears Charges. That the candidacy of Robert Marion l.a Follette was not the re sult of a sudden impulse, but h*d been determined upon many months before it was sprung. That the possibility of throwing the election of president Into con gress was considered in councils at Washington for a long time before any convention was held. That a complete and perfect un derstanding between the democrats and the La Follette group existed in congress and out of congress. That all the president's endeav ors to get through laws that would help the country and Im prove the condition of agriculture were thwarted because of the con spiracy that had been entered Into In advance of the coming together of congress in December last. That John M. Nelson of Wiscon sin, labeled a republican, was the known leader of this conspiracy In the house, and was then, as now. the active field director of the La Follette forces. That Nelson aided in defeating the effort to unseat Sol Bloom, a New York representative, a demo crat, because to give the seat to the contestant, a republican, would change New York from the demo cratic to the republican column In the case of an election in the house. These charges are made by Con gressman Willis G. Sears and sus tained by records of the case of Chandler against Bloom, tried before elections committee No. 3 of the house of representatives, of which Richard N. Elliott of Indiana is chair man and Congressman Sears a mem ber. It is of interest to note, in passing, that John M. Nelson of Wisconsin is chairman of elections committee No. 2. and that a contest tried before his committee was not reported on at the last session. This involved the suit of I.a Gunrdla, a socialist and a member of the La Follette bloc. Fraud Was Flagrant. Judge Sears, who sat through the entire hearing of the Chandler-Bloom case, says the fraud perpetrated in behalf of Bloom's election was gross and flagrant, and was clearly proven by the evidenre; so much so that the committee reported in favor of un seating Bloom. Nelson came to the committee after its report was made up and got the evidence for his own examination. When the case came on before the house, Nelson appeared on behalf of Bloom, and, with three quarters of an hour allotted him from the democrats’ time, pleaded on the floor for the retention of Bloom in his present seat. And the La Follette group voted with the democrats to hold this seat, even though it had been secured by the most outrageous abuse of the election laws. New York newspapers at the time expressed the utmost as tonishment at the action of the house. But It was necessary in order that the great conspiracy bargain between the democrats anil the La Folletteltes might be carried out. Sears Reveals Story. Here Is Judge Sears’ own story of the proceedings In the contest, as re lated by him to The Omaha Bee: “La Follette’s candidacy was un doubtedly under meditation and engi neering control for a long time, and was not a new thing sprung during the summer months. I can demon strate that it bad been concluded by or before the tlmo of the hearing of the Chandler-Bloom election contest 111 the house, which, as I recall was April 10, last. "Mr. Bloom, a sitting member from a downtown district in New York city, is a democrat. Chandler, the contestant, is republican. The hearing was long extended, taking some nine or 10 days. The under standing was that wo would try and ! get the contested cases disposed of . early. There were two oil before the [ committee on elections, of which 1 was a member—Elliott’s—and at ( least one other—La Guurdlu'a before Mr. Nelson's committee. La Gunrdin was a member of tlie so called’ La Follette bloc. "There was no suggestion whatever of any fraud being perpetrated on | the part of Chandler or Ids forces. Apparently there could have been no more high minded campaign Ilian was ’ had In his bolmif. It was a special ' election and those were the only con * teetsnts, so that whatever frauds there were could be readily charged I (Turn la Tusa Two. Column One.) Coolidge or Despair in All Europe —Charles Nagel Election of La Follette Spells Doom for Present System of Government, Former Cabinet Officer Says. “Demo Attacks Belated” St. l.ouis, Oct. 15.—In a statement issued here today by Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce and labor dur ing the Taft administration, he de dares his intention of supporting Coolidge and Dawes for president and vice president. He announces also that he will support the republican candidate for congress in his district and the republican candidate for gov ernor of Missouri. Nagel, while ordinarily a repub lican, has several times been "off the reservation.” The most conspicuous instance of his "crossing over" Was his support of Senator James A. Ttced. In his statement, Mr. Nagel said: “1 have been asked what my posi tion Is in this campaign. This ques tion has almost come to be (he rule rather than the exception; so broken are old alignments, and so conflicting are determining factors. I shall vote for Coolidge for president; for New ton for congress, and for Baker for governor, and I may add that this conclusion Is not governed by past party affiliations. Having voted for Tteed for senator, I should not hesi tate, if conditions demanded, to cast an equally independent vote now for the national and state tickets. "It has for some years been my opinion that a realignment of the great parties, in obedience to well detined convictions, is desirable, and that it would make little difference how that result Is brought about. At that time, however, there is danger that we may reach no popular deci sion at the polls, and according to nil Indications the success of Coolidge can alone save us from that imme diate very threatening situation. Approve* Foreign Policy. As between the old parties. 1 bnve less difficulty than usual. In foreign policy they are separated as widely as they were in 1920. That in Itself would determine me. In many other respects they occupy common ground of complacent conservatism: although President Coolidge has the advantage of a very definite plan for domestic economic rehabilitation. Beyond that the distinction seems to be that re publicans frankly avow what they want, and democrat* would like to achieve the same thing without say ing so. There i* considerable virtue in the attack* made h.v Davis upon corruption; hut such an attack from democrats is rather belated. Indeed, one of the chief complaints against the Harding administration is that it failed to expose the stag gering corruption of the preceding democratic administration. Again, the democratic candidate s advocacy of free speech and like con stitutional guaranties would he more persuasive, of the denial of these sacred principles had not been had chiefly under a democratic adminis tration of which he was a distinguish ed member; and if these appeals had not been made after President Cool idge had released political prisoners, and after his Attorney General Stone had restored the Department of Justice to Its constitutional Integrity. I admit that the republican admin istration neglected great opportunities fo restore the confidence and good will of the public; and that, particu larly with respect to problems grow ing out of the war, it permitted war atmosphere to cloud Its vision and to paralyze its conduct. But I do not find that the democratic party offers one Inspiring challenge to invito In dependent support. However. I regard it as of pri mary importance that the popular vote result in a choice of president, and that the elections he not thrown Into the house and the senate. Inas much ns Davis appears to have no practical prospect for victory at the polls, It will he more profitable to give reasons for preferring Coolidge ,Turn to l‘n*e Sfirn. Column One.)

By P. C. POWELL. stuff CorreHpemlent The Omulis Hee. Springview, Neb., Oct. 15.—Out here on the plains, 30 miles from a railroad, farmers and townspeople from three counties gathered today to hear Adam McMullen, republican candidate for governor, speak on state issuls. Counties represented were Keya Paha, Holt and Cherry. In honor of the candidate the citizens of Springview staged a huge barbecue. Two beeves were killed, dressed and quartered Monday. The next day Frank Boyd, noted through out the short grass country ns the "Barbecue King." arrived at Spring view. A tent was pitched, proper hole dug and a grate prepared. At 9 o’clock Tuesday night the meat be gan to cook. At 10:30 this morning, half an hour after the McMullen party arrived, Boyd told the 50 boys, who had been dismissed from achool and were watching tlie cook, that the meat was ready'. The news soon spread over tha town and housewives, with vegetables and fruits for the remainder the dinner, began hurrying . to tit* hall where the dinner was to be served. Seven hundred were present at the dinner and remained for the speaklg. "Oh hell, that ain't nothing," Boyd, the cook, said when congratulated on the excellency of his meat and the extent of hfs job. “I've barbecued 3.000 pounds of meat at one time In the early dava around here and it was all gone in two hours. As fast as we ate the meat we threw the bones to the Indians." Springview claims the distinction of heing the liest inland town in the state. It sports a new courthouse, gravelled streets, water plant, and three lawyers. These represent the entire lawyer population of Keya Paha county. In addition lo closing the town school in honor of the occasion, coun ty schools for miles around were emptied and teachers and pupils were given a holiday. The Bassett hand was on liand to furnish music, aug mented by vocal and Instrumental se lections by the townspeople. Mr. McMullen spoke particularly of the wonderful waterpower possi bilities of the Niobrara river. He ex plained that at present every effort was being made by private corpora tions to gain control of waterpower sites, and particular care should be taken by voters in pledging legisla tive candidates to protect public watherpower sites against legislative encroach men ts.

Lakehurst, IS'. J., Oct. 15.—The II It 13 slumbered tonight, safely cradled in the Lakehurst airdome after a memorable flight across an ocean. Its German crew slumbered, also, and its four American passengers. The dirigible, which had set a new record for sustained flight, appeared none the worse for the effort. It swayed croonlngly to and fro to the hune of soft creaking tackle. Its luminous sides shimmered under thq beams of a moon that penetrated its glass-domed hangar. But the humans whom It had car ried bo far sheltered beneath its pro tecting hulk—they were red-eyed and weary. They had traveled 5.066 miles undef- hazardous circumstances and they had done it in a single con tinuous flight of 81 hours and 17 minutes. Official Record Kept. This was the official record, as computed by Dr. Hugo Eskener, com mander of the dirigible and president of the Zeppelin interests, and by Com mander J. H. Klein, jr., of I-akehur.-t field, who made the transoceanic flight. The ship's log recorded that it left Eriedriehshafen, Germany, at 6J15 a. m.. on Sunday, October 12, the time being one hour east of Greenwich. It touched earth here at 9:25 a. m., east ern standard time, today. Dr. Ecken er was authority for the statement that the mileage was 5,066. Thus the average speed of the ZR 3 for the whole distance approximately 62.33 miles per hour. The approxi mate average of the British R-34 dur ing its westward flight of 3,200 miles across the Atlantic in 108 hours, made in 1919, was 20.63 milts per Jiuur. As a further indication of the strides llghter-thanair aeronautics have taken during those five years, the fuel tanks of the ZR-3 were one quarter full when it berthed. They held 712 tons, enough, according to Lieut. Commander S. M. Krauss. to have carried it 1,800 knots farther or a goodly part of the distance to the Pacific coast. All Tell Stories. When the R 34 reached its destina tion at Mineola, L. I., from East fortune, Scotland, Its fuel tanks held Imrely a half hour's supply. For It to have proceeded further would have been to court disaster. Each of the 32 passengers on the ZR 3 had his story to tell when he disemliarked within the Lakehurst hangar today. But the most com plete of them all was the story told by the diary log of Capt. George W. Steele, prospective commander of/the dirigible. He related liow on October 10 the date set for the flight, such crowds surged at the gates of the Friedrieh shafen airdrome that he was lost In the crush; how the big bag failed to rise because of atmospheric condi tions: how the takeoff was i«>stpone<l for two days, • — NEW ANAESTHETIC IS DISCOVERED Wurzburg, Germany.

In a state ment he termed Harrison a ‘carpet bagger’ and de clared the regional director was seeking to wreck the campaign in Nebraska for ulterior motives. Pertinent para graphs from Mutz’s statement fol low' : “He has constantly en gendered discord. “He assumes a czar-like attitude in all campaign matters. “He keps no record of money received or ex pended. “He seeks to wreck the La Follette party in Ne braska as he has practically wrecked it in other states. “His charges against me are premeditatedly false. “He has opened my mail, taken money entrusted to M/ ^zFt&nk.

Speaking under the auspices of the republican county committee, with Representative Ogden L. Mills presid ing. Secretary Hughes declared that the republican party must bear the brunt of the independent attack, as it “seems probable that the demo cratic party in this election will be virtually cut to pieces in the west and will be honeycombed in the east.** “He upheld the activities of the Harding-Coolldge administration in detail defending it against charges made during the campaign by Davis and I*a Follette. The address, which was broadcast by radio stations in New York and Washington, also took cognizance of criticisms "made by John W. Davis, the democratic nominee of the eco nomic and foreign policies of the Coolldge administration. Secretary Hughe* paid tribute to the president as a “strong sagacious man. long tried and trusted, of unimpeachable integrity and with the highest stan dards of honor, calm and deliberate but inflexible in well chosen pur poses.” He predicted a republican victo.v “because the people have learned to know and trust Calvin Coolldge.” He opened his address with a plea for support of Col. Theodore Roose velt for the governorship, not only because of his reord in industry, bus! ness, n the field of battle and in pub lic office. “lie knows the government of the state and he knows the federal gov eminent.” Secretary Hughes said. “He will bring to the executive office not only the highest ideals but an important experience.” In this connection, the speaker paid a tribute to Colonel Roosevelt for bis services In preparing naval data for use of the Americai representatives at the Washington conference on lim itation of armaments.
