to The NOWH : Col. James C. Elliott ,
republican candidate for congress
? from the Third Nebraska district.
WUH born In Palmyra , Lebanon county
it
ty , Pa. , June 21 , 18G.r > , and IH there
fore at this time In his forty-sixth
year. Ills birthplace wan the farm
where ho spent the first olghton years
of ills life , excepting those Intervals
of time In which ho attended the
common schools of his neighborhood
and taught several tornm in the Im
mediate vicinity of his home. Ills ear
lier education was obtained primarily
In the public schools of his county
and at a private academy. He then
entered the Htato normal school at
Kutztown , Pa. , whoso principal at
that time was the famous Dr. Nathan
C. Schaefer , now superintendent of
public Instruction for the state of
Pennsylvania. From this school Col.
Elliott graduated with honor after
preparing himself for entrance to the
University of Pennsylvania. His ca
reer as a teacher embraced several
years during which ho taught In the
country districts and later in the
schools of his native town. He , for
some time occupied the position of
professor of grammar , English and of
constitutional law In Palatinate col
lege , MyorHtown , Pa. , now known as
the Albright Institute.
His attention being directed at this
tlmo towards the study and practice
of law ho came west , establishing his
residence at West Point in June , 1887 ,
where ho pursued and completed his
legal studies and was admitted to
the bar before Judge M. P. Klncaid ,
now congressman from the Sixth NQ-
braska district , presiding , in the year
I88S. Slnco that tlmo Mr. Elliott has
practiced law , edited n republican
newspaper and been three times hon
ored by the appointment of postmast
er of his adopted city. During his
long residence hero ho has held vari
ous offices of trust ; besides numer
ous local offices he has been president
of the State Firemen's association and
Is now president of the State School
Officers' association. His honorary
title of colonel was conferred upon
him by the Sons of Veterans with
which organization ho has boon close
ly identified since Us Inception.
Mr. Elliott has always been a
staunch republican , holding sound
and pronounced views upon the topics
and policies which are now agitating
the public mind. In a recent conver
sation Mr. Elliott said : "I wish em
phatically to state that if there bo a
man In this district who expects me ,
If elected , to go to Washington and
vote against a man , or men , who has
made an honest dollar with the brain
and talent God has glvon him , ho will
bo mistaken ; on the other hand I do
not believe in men absorbing a sin
gle dollar that rightfully belongs to
the people and I will do all I can to
secure legislation to the end , that the
Put the Ban on Trading Stamps.
Deadbeats , green trading stamps and
peddlers wore thoroughly discussed at
the meeting of the Norfolk branch of
the Nebraska Federation of Retail
Dealers , hold In the Commercial club
rooms last evening. Thirty Norfolk
business men out of the membership
of forty-six in the Norfolk branch
were present at the meeting and they
harmoniously and enthusiastically dis
cussed the various topics of interest
of retail dealers. The credit system
proposition took up much time during
the evening and it was reported that
this system is now In such shape as
to put a check on the work of the
chronic deadbeat.
A feature of the evening's meeting
was the resolution abolishing trading
stamps. Tliis resolution was adopted
after it became known that agents of
these stamp schemes have threatened
several Norfolk business men with
starting competitive stores unless the
local men take these stamps. Three
or four Norfolk business men have
refused the stamps and the .matter
was discussed last night with the re
sult that every business man present
pledged himself to refuse to buy the
stamps.
One grocery dealer declared that af
ter he had refused to take the stamps
the stamp agent declared ho would
start a grocery store in Norfolk. A
jlry goods dealer reported that the
agent made him an offer on two occa
sions to start a grocery department In
bis store if ho accepted the stamps.
A furniture dealer reported a similar
Incident and all have so far turned
the stamp man down.
A ban Is to be put on peddlers who
make a nuisance of themselves in the
residence portion of the city where
they peddle without licenses. Fake
advertising schemes and solicitors
are also to be barred and fifty cards
are to bo printed , worded to the ef
fect that the owners of Norfolk busi
ness houses are prohibited by agree
ment not to deal with any solicitors
who have not previously received an
endorsement from the Commercial
club.
Precinct Candidates Named.
For justices of the peace , George C.
Lambert and C. F. Elseley.
For constables , A. W. Flnkhouso
and Gordon W. Perriott.
For road overseer , Roy Carter.
These were the nominations made
at the republican caucus held at the
city hall at 3 o'clock Friday after-
noon. Burt Mapes was chairman ,
Jack Koenlgsteln secretary.
ITALY'S ARMY TO USE BOMBS.
Dirigibles and Aeroplanes Will be Em
ployed for Amy Service.
Rome , Oct. 14. ( Via Frontier. ) It
Is seml-officlally asserted that Italy
has notified the powers that she will
send n fleet to attack Smyrna and
Snlonlkl if there are other massacres
of Italians , like those reported by
consuls to have taken place on the
Hodjas railway , on the boundary line
people may get and keep control of
what IB right fully thelrB. "
On the ( mention of protection and
Incidentally of revision of the tarlM
Mr. Klllntt IH exceedingly outspoken ,
lie asserts that the people have been
deprived of nnii h of the benefit and
the benign Influence of the protec
tive tariff as It was designed by Its
framerK , by unlawful combinations of
protected ciipltal and he thinks that
the people bhould be relieved of this
burden without further delay.
If any elector of the Third district
expects Mr. Elliott to become the
pliant tool of the so-called special In
terests , combines and unlawful aggre
gations of capital ho will bo at per
feet liberty to vote for his opponent.
On the great and vital proposition
of the Increased cost of llvlni ; Mr.
Elliott has some very pronounced
views. He assorts that unhampered
and unrestrained storage of food prod
ucts , conserved with a view of en
hancing the price of the same to the
consumer should be forbidden by law
that a check , a reasonable restraint
should bo placed upon such storage
of food , that the principle of cold
storage should bo confined to its legi
timate exercise , namely to preserve
perishable products only for so long
as the condition of the markets re
quire It and not to be used as a fac
tor In creating artificial shortages of
food to the end , that the demand
therefor may permit higher prices to
be demanded from the consumer.
Mr. Elliott's personality is pleasing ,
Ho is nosscssed of that fellowship
which Is so rare ; which appeals to
the popular heart and makes and re
tains friends. His personal popular
ity In nis home county is great and
predictions are now being confidently
made that ho will carry this demo
cratic county by a handsome major
ity. One feature of the campaign in
tills district , is already beginning to
bo apparent , namely , that the fac
tional fooling of Into indulged in by
some members of the republican par
ty will be eliminated in great part
and that harmony in the ranks will
prevail during this struggle. The re
publican party believe that this dis-
t'ict belongs to them rightfully and
If party jealousies and factional strife
cease no doubt whatever can be rea
sonably entertained of the success of
the ticket , both congressional and
state.
Mr. Elliott is married to a most
estimable lady of West Point and is
the proud possessor of three stalwart
sons. As a puollc speaker he is ex
celled by few , having the happy facul
ty of clothing his ideas in crisp , force
ful language , calculated to reach the
hearts and Intelligence of his hear
ers. He Is most decidedly a man of
the people the common people , and
during his whole life has consistently
advocated their cause.
between Egypt and Syriaoccur. The
consular reports state that thirteen
laborers were massacred at Keraka ,
Syria , in October.
Gen. Vallerich was entrusted with
the entire work of reorganizing the
occupation of Tripoli. It Is said the
cost is estimated at $00,000,000 and
the occupation is expected to occupy
at least twenty months before Tripoli
can be entrusted to a civil administra
tion.
In addition to eleven aeroplanes ,
two dirigible balloons will be sent to
Tripoli to bo used in scouting and also
to drop bombs in camps of the enemy.
The bombs have been expressly manu
factured for this purpose and it is
said their explosive force will cover
a wldo range. The foreign military
attaches are taking keen interest in
the plans for aerial attacks upon the
enemy , believing they will demon
strate the practical utility of airships
In warfare.

grees.
Rival Managers Talk.
The rival managers , McGraw of the
New York Nationals and Connlo Mack
of the Philadelphia Americans , had
their word to say early today.
McGniw never predicts and seldom
makes any claims beforehand.
"It looks to me as If It wore going
to be a nice day , " was his cautious
comment this morning. "You want to
know about the Giants ? " ho Inquired
politely. "Well , they are ready. Ev
ery man on my team is fit and I am
satisfied with them. 1 don't predict
victory In the series. It Is a bad habit
and besides , I am superstitious. "
Connie Mack was likewise pleased
with the weather. "A fine day , " bo
declared , "and that augurs good luck
for Philadelphia. My team Is pre
pared for the world's championship
series except for one man , but I am
making no excuses. If wo are beaten
it will bo because the Giants are bet
ter. "
Fabulous Prices for Seats.
"Giants against Athletics at the Polo
grounds , " was the legend that drew
thousands to the first game of the
world's series today between the New
York National club and Philadelphia
team the pennant winners of 1911 in
their organization. A 'few , perhaps
twenty-five , camped out all night
against the fences at the Polo grounds
to obtain the coveted bleacher seats
placed on sale this morning. Down
town speculators reaped a harvest and
charged fabulous eleventh-hour prices
for chairs in the grandstand.
Counterfeit Tickets Appear.
Forty thousand persons was the New
York club's estimate of the number
that would pack the new Brush sta
dium to see the contest. Scores of
persons appeared at the grounds with
counterfeit tickets which they had pur
chased from speculators. They were
turned away by the police.
Mathewson ve. Bender.
Mathewson for the Giants and Ben
der for the Athletics seemed the likely
choice of pitchers for the day's game.
The Giants ruled favorites in bet
ting at G to ri , although some wagers
were made at even money.
The October sun beamed In a sky
veiled by a thin fleece of white clouds.
The Batting Order.
The batting order of the teams , un
less there were last minute changes
by the management , followed :
Giants Devore If , Doyle lib , Snod-
grass cf , Murray rf , Merkle Ib , Her-
sog 3b , Fletcher ss , Meyers c , Mathew-
son p.

lins 2b , Baker 3b , Murphy rf , Davis Ib ,

Umpires Klem and Brennan ( Na
tional league ) ; Connolly and Dineen
( American league ) .
By 7 o'clock 500 persons were in
line behind the vanguard which had
endured the all-night vigil. Eight pa
trolmen , a sergeant and a police cap
tain had been on duty all night , and
there was no disorder. A college pro
fessor and three women were the most
conspicuous figures in the long line of
loyal "bleacherites. " They admitted
that they had been on the grounds
since G o'clock this morning.
All the Giants reported at the club
house In fine condition , and Manager
McGraw said the team would take the
diamond in its best playing form. The
players wcro confident , but they were
not making any boasts.
Players Get Ovation.
The New York players came early to
the grounds In hope of avoiding the
crush about the gates. But they had
to edge their way through the waiting
throngs , and when recognized were
given receptions that would have
ended disastrously for their playing
arms had not the police Interfered.
Mathowson and Marquard , on whom
McGraw depends to bear the weight
of pitching labor , told the manager
that they were willing to work on al
ternate days and felt able to pitch
every other game. The manager smiled
and remarked that Ames and Wlltz
were in good form. The Philadelphia
players at their hotel had a good
night's rest following their arrival
from Philadelphia.
Connlo Mack , manager of the Ath
letics , inscrutable as ever , smiled most
cordially preliminary to giving a re
porter his views.
Trouble for New York Club.
Mack sagely observed : "It will be a
fine game. "
Until the championship Is decided
those who believe tney were treated
unfairly In the dlstrluutrbn of tickets
may withhold their complaints , but ap
parently there Is a reckoning In store
for the New York club's management.
The national commission , the postal
authorities and even the state legis
lature is investigating its methods.
