One came from a farm in Vermont, the other from a small bustling Ohio town. Both represent the best in American,tra ditions and training. TWO—Both have spiritual qualities which fit them for leadership. By the light of a flickering oil lamp on his father's farm in Vermont, Calvin Coolidge's first statement as president to the American people was: "I have faith that God will direct the destinies of our nation.” The remarkable tribute which General Dawes wrote of his son at the time of his death was indicative of the man: "My hoy lived long enough to 'w'in out.' Whatever the years would have added wjula be only material, in a man's character is his real career.” THREE—These two men are simple and direct. There is a com mon bond between the man who wrote to thp cobbler at Northampton, "I want you to know that if it were not for you, I should not be here.” and the man who, scorning titles, shouted to a congressional commit tee: "Don't call me General." FOUR—Calvin Coolidge took his place on the republican ticket ns vice president in 1920, a nationally recognized progressive. Both Coolidge and Dawes stand for sound progress. They stand for sim plicity, the absence of red tape and quick, forward looking action. FIVE—A high type of courage is required of men who serve as president and vice president of the United States. Courage has marked every step In the lives of Coolidge and Dawes. Particularly did Cool idge prove this when he made and upheld the great issue of law and order during the police strike in Boston. SIX—Both men are essentially human. Of Coolidge It has been said: "He personifies the plain, simple virtues of our citizens at their best He is close to the American people because he is so much one of them." General Dawes has proved the human quality of hie mind In many ways. He and Mrs. Dawes have adopted two children on whom they lavish affection. In honor of the boy that General Dawes lost he has erected five large hotels where the man who is "down but never out" can pass a night In comfort and cleanliness for a nominal cost, SEVEN_Both are men of decision. They have demonstrated this in the effective way in which they served the nation and their com munities. Coolidge served as state senator, lieutenant governor and governor of Maasarhusetta. Then he became vice president and ns president of the United States he h :s won widespread admiration by the fearless, honest way in which he lias stood for the best Interests of the. people. EIGHT—Dawes as comptroller rurrenry under President Me. Kinley, made known the need of a federal budget system ns a curb on government extravagance. As general purchasing agent of the A. E. F. in France and as director of the budget In President Har ding's administration, he proved his unquestioned ability for high public service. NINE—When Europe needed help to solve the complicated prob lems of reparations, Charles Gates Dawes was selected for the jpb. TEN—Their futures may tie safely forecast by their accomplish ments. Both have proved their filness to lead. I __*\ CATTLE GAIN OF 11,000 IN MONTH Receipts of cattle at the Omaha market for the month of October were 229.000 head or 11.000 more head than for October, 1923. Corn fed cattle comprised the greater por tion, range cattle receipts falling con siderably short of *a year ago. Receipts in the hog division re vealed a noticeable decline with the year previous. One hundred seventy seven thousand porkers, arrived at the yards, a decrease of 19,000. The receipts a year ago for October were 193,368, the heaviest October run in the history of the market. The sheep and lamb division for the month slumped over the same period a year ago. Receipts were 253,000 head or a decrease of 170,000. HOMESTEAD LAW IS GIVEN PRAISE James Walsh, who came from Aus tralia to Nebraska in 1873 and took up land, spoke before the Coolldge Pawes Union J*nbor Republican club Kriday night and praised the repub lican party for passing the homestead law, thus bringing land within the reach of the poor* man of pioneer days. M< Mullen Only Man in Gubernatorial Hon' Who Was in Primaries \____—---J "Vote for governor'’ Sure 1 11 vote for the only man now in the gubernatorial race who was nomi nated at the polls last spring That was the statement of one Omahan who had been accosted by n friend on the sheet. "Adam McMullen is the only man we can vote for who had his name on the primary ballot." the Omahan continued. “Charlie Rrynn, you remember, hogged the chance to be nominated by supporters of both the pro press!ve and the democratic parties. Then ’llrother Uharlle’ awoke to great ambitions and became candi date for vice president of tin* United States. That eliminated him. "Dan I’.ul In* grabbed the pro gresslve nomination by saying he wanted It and some of our leading demos told us that, should \\t* de sire another democrat in office, we might eays 'yes* for .1 N Norton. "I believe in thfi primaries and 111 vote for Adail McMullen ” • VENDOR OF CANNED HEAT FINED $1,000 Promising the court that he would | refrain, hereafter .from dealing in! horn© brew and seek to earn an honorable livelihood. F. J. Bertelsen. 102'J South Sixtii street, was given a suspended fine of $oOO and costs yes terday in feder«l court when he pleaded guilty before Judge Martin J. Wade to a charge of violating the Volstead net. Bertelsen s fine Is to stand on exe cut ion until the next term of court j in February.

J)nug McClelland, painter, who is serving a 30-day term in the county jail for an alleged attempt to smug gle liquor to lodgers at the city Jail, was arraigned before Judge Wade on a charge of having a quantity of "canned heat" in his possession when arrested during a denatured alcohol "spree" In Payllss park.

Norton Plea to Labor in Poor Taste Such Is Charge of Former President of Omaha Central Labor Union and State Federation. Record in House Bared Charles A. McDonald. 1715 North Thirty fifth street. has been active In organized labor affairs for 25 years. He was president of the Nebraska State Federation of Labor, served as president of the Omaha Central Labor union and thrice was honored with leadership of the local carpenters' union. He believes that It romes with poor grace for .1. N. Norton, democratic candidate for governor, to endeavor to get the votes of laboring people. In view of his record In the state legis lature. Familiar With Record. Mr. McDonald is thoroughly familiar with the Norton record at Lincoln. He knows that in 1911 Norton voted in favor of House Roll 72, an act to permit the garnishment of wages of laborers who are heads of families. This hill was vetoed by flov. Chester Aldrirh, hut Norton voted to pass the bill over the veto. He also knows that In 1913 House Roll 151, a bill similar to the one vetoed by ihe governor in 1911, was Introduced und .Norton voted in favor of it. In 1917 House Roll 41 was in troduced by Relfenrath. This was a bill amending tile workmen's compen sation act, and It had the active sup port of all labor organizations. House Roll 525, a similar bill, was introduced by Howard. These two bills were considered together in committee of the whole, whereupon Mr. Norton offered an entirely new bill as a sub stitute for 44 and 525. Statement Prepared. The substitute bill offered by Nor ton had the support of all insurance conjuanics and the manufacturers' association of The substi tute hill offered by Norton appears on page 742 of the House Journal for 1917. Mr McDonald has prepared the fol lowing statement on Norton a legis Is five record: 1 J. N. Norton, democratic candi date for governor, in a recent sneerh at the Labor temple, stated that he invited a public inspection of his legislative record on labor measures. In view* of this statement of Mr. Norton's T would ask your indul genre to publish this letter in the columns of your paper in order tlmt laboring men and women may be informed as to Mr. Norton's record. In 1911 Mr. Norton was a mem ber of the house. In that session House Roll 72. an act to permit the garnishment of wages of laborers who are heads of fami lies was introduced and passed both houses. Norton voted in favor of this measure. This bill was so vicious that Governor Aldrich veto ed the same, anti thereafter Mr. Norton voted in the house to pass this bill over the governor's veto. Xiitfmr of Hill. In 1913 Mr. Norton was the an thor and one of the Introducers of House Roll 347. This was a bill authorizing the employment of con victs upon all roadwork in counties. The hill further authorized the em ployment by municipalities of con vict labor upon all streets and n 1 leys of the city. Despite Norton a efforts, this bill failed to pass. In 1917 organized labor, through its representatives, prepared nd had introduced House Roll 4 1. the same being amendment* to the workmen’s compensation net. This bill, among other thin -*, provided that when an employe received in juries due to the willf 1 negligence of the employer that he injured employe might elect afi . the Injury whether to accept • umpenaatlon provided by the act or to sue at law for his damages. The bill further provided an increase In the amount of compensation of 15 per cent over and above the old law. Organized labor throughout the state was back of this bill. With I'oor Grace. Mr Norton, who represented a i county In which there were no labor organizations, submitted a substi tute bill for house roll 4 4 which eliminated the features which organized labor asked. The sub stitute wni backed by the insur ance companies of Nebraska and manufacturers’ association of this state. The Norton substitute was adopted by the house over the pro test and ohji i tlon of all of the j friends «*f organized labor. If comes with poor grate for a man with a record such as Mr. Norton'a to endeavor to secure the votes of laboring people, based upon that record. I have been familiar with the last few : fsslona of the Nebraska legis lature and I fail to recall any vote fa*! by Mr Norton, when he was a rn« mhci of the legislature, that } ln*t a ta d he w as friendly to labor.
