(From a P'jtlt Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Oct. 28. (Special.) Chairman
Warner of the rpubllcan Mate committee
Is sending out letter to chairmen of every
precinct Hi-gin them to get out the voM
and leave no atone unturned to make Judge
Letton'a majority aa Urge aa that of Prea
Ident Roorelt. While the democrata ap
parently a-e doing absolutely nothing ex
cept looking after the fights In the countlea,
Mr. Warner la urging his lieutenants to be
careful and be not over-confident. The poll
of the atate shows a gratifying Increase In
the republican vote over last year and It
will be woe to the precinct chairman who
aenda In an increase and then falls down
In getting out the Increase on the final day.
The chairman haa requested every county
chairman to let him know of any trouble,
and ao far every chairman haa reported
that republicans were supporting their
ticket and no fault was to be found. The
only danger Is overconfldence, and thla
Chairman Warner la urging the chairman
In every county to look out for.
A number of democrata this year will
cast their votes for Fred Abbott of Co
lumbus for regent of the State university
and have ao announced themselves In this
county. This because Mr. Abbott was exr
tremely popular when a student here and
because of his well known ability. He has
hen a friend of the students and when he
takes his place the students will have a
regent on the board to whom they can take
their troubles with assurance of a careful
hearing. He, probably, better than any of
tha candidate-', knowa the needs of the uni
versity, for since leaving school he haa
been alwaya In touch with It.
Chairman Roberts of the Lancaster com
mittee Is going over the county with a fine
tooth comb just to keep In practice, and he
la stirring up the animals to beat the band.
He expecta every republican to convert a
democrat and thus increase the vote In thla
county over that of any previous off year.

MAILS WILL NOT BE INTERRUPTED
Plan fnr Removal Made by Local
Aathorltlee Works to Perfec
tion When Pat to
the Test.
CHICAGO, Oct. 28-The gigantic, though
delicate task of moving; the Chicago post
office Into the new quarters In the recently
completed $6,000,000 federal building, with
out delaying or disturbing: the handling of
approximately 2.nno.nno pieces of light mall
and 200 tons of heavier matter, which the
office handles dally, began today. Fred
erick K. Coyne, the postmaster, was
authority for the, statement that so elab
orately have preparations been made In
volving the minute calculation of innum
erable details, that the intricate work of
the postofTice, which collects and delivers
mall over a territory of 1M square miles,
would proceed without a moment's delay.
Without a hitch the removal of some di
visions, such as the stamp department, the
registry and Inquiry divisions, was ac
complished by the simple expedient of di
viding the office forces of these divisions, f
the force In the new building taking up
the work promptly when the clerks In the
old building ceased.
When the carriers left the old building
the delivery clerks Immediately moved to
the federal building and two hours later
the carriers reported back, not to the long,
low, red brick shed that ' had been their
headquarters for a decade, but to the new
building. This change of base, although
only eight blocks In distance, necessitated
a change not only In the nice calculations
governing the routes and amount of mall
to be carried by half the carriers in Chi
cago, but In the work of railway mall
clerks whose runs center In Chicago.
Practically Complete Sunday.
By Sunday all mall. Including the out
going, with the exception of certain kinds
of second class matter, which will be
handled from the temporary structure for
some weeks yet, will be cared for In the
new structure.
The moving began without ceremony, al
though United States Senator Hopkins nnd
the majority of the Chicago congressmen,
together with representatives from the post,
master general's department were present.
There Is, In fact, only one official sentiment
connected with it. Fernando Jones, one of
the wealthiest citizens of Chicago, waa
the hero of It. Mr. Jones not only has the
distinction of being one of the few cltlsens
of Chicago who remember when the Chi
cago postoffice force consisted of one man,
but he owned the first private box In that
postoffice, having himself constructed the
"box" out of a bootleg, and numbered the
box "36," that he might Impress his east
ern friends with the Idea that the hamlet
waa progressive. When congress supplied
the lonely postmaster with a clerk, Mr.
Jones in elation entertained tho entire force
at dinner. For these reasons Mr. Jones was
singled out by Mr. Coyne for the only for
mal Invitation Issued In connection with
the occupying of the new quarters. As the
postoffice force now numbers nearly 6,000
people, however, Mr. Coyne excused Mr.
Jones from repeating the act of hospital
ity of many yeara ago.
Nfcw Machinery Installed.
"Our Installation here today," aald Mr.
Coyne, "marks a distinct chans-e in meth
ods of handling mall In Chicago. Work '
that haa ' been done by hand ever since
there waa a postoffice here will be done by
machinery. I believe we now have the best
equipped office mechanically In the world.
Not only have we the latest machinery on
the market, but we have some that waa
specially devised for this building by ex
perts hired for the purpose. With pneu
matic tubes running from the postoffice to
all the principal railroad stations and with
the prospect that within a few weeka all
heavy matter will be carried by electric
cara to the depots through the tunnels of
the Illinois Tunnel company, I believe that
the beginning of the new year will find
mail handled faster In Chicago than in any
other place In the world."
A further time saving scheme, which Mr.
Coyne says Is receiving encouragement
from the postoffice department at Wash
ington, la contemplated. It Is to do away
with mall boxea In the central district cov
ered by the boxes, replacing the boxes by
chutes, which carry mail matter direct to
the tunnels, where the matter will be col
lected by electric cars.
During the day visitors to the postoffice
were shown through the miles of tunnels,
which, forty feet beneath the city streets,
are being utilized by the postoffice.

Von Bnelow for Peace.
Maanwhllo Prince von Buelow, the
kaiser's chancellor has apparently been
making strenuous efforts In the direction ot
peace. Interviewed at length by the Temps
representative, he was asked whether Ger
many would in the future put any obstacle
In the way of French colonial expansion.
He replied:
There la no foundation for such anxiety,
but that colonial policy must t, as In the
case of Morocco, be made tt.i occasion of
proceedings detrimental to lermany. Thla
connect Is not neccb uul la abnormal.
Today as yesteraa. . lUed that your
colonial policy rep. s our commercial
Interests which giv. -ny and our dignity
which we rank still mure highly, not only
will we not embarrass you but we will aid
you in Morocco and elsewhere.
You have spoken to me ot another caso
of mistrust. You ha-ve told me that the
question is asked In France: "Has not Ger
many some design of leading you to take
sides with her against Great Britain and of
involving you In a conflict which Is declared
to be Inevitable?" I will dual with thla point
willingly.
There are neorjle I know who predict
an unavoidable war between Germany and '
Great Britain. Signor Tlttonl said that he
did not believe In such a war; 1 for my part
will go farther and will Bay tnat it is a ;
piece or stupmity 10 proclaim sucn a war
aa inevitable.
Germany and Great Britain would do
too much hurt the one to the other. They
will not essay the experiment, and although
1 do not underestimate the violence of the
campaign in the presa and the nervousness j
or tne puonc, 1 amrm inai ine government
of London and of Berlin have too much re
gard for their responsibilities to allow
themselves to be influenced by such vio
lence. Your country, moreover, haa a useful part
to play ln,,,almlug Instead of exciting pub
lic opinion. International solidarity Is too
strong for any power to flatter Itself at
being the tertlus gaudems In any quarrel
whatsoever. If there are between Germans
and English prejudices which I repeat will
sooner or later disappear France can help
to dissipate them.
Suggests Double Alliances.
Allow me to add that we have the exam
ple of France to prove that It la alwaya
possible to effect a reconciliation with
Britain. The same considerations apply with
regard to Russia. We have with your ally
relations which are excellent even 'among
the excellent. This Is a aituatlon which is
natural and traditional.'
Why should you take umbrage? Did we
take umbrage at the Franco-Russian alli
ance? No, because this alliance has never
had in regard to Germany the aggressive
character which has attributed, I know not
why, to certain rapproachments which with
out having the value of an alliance, have
appeared more disquieting.
A double system ot alliances, both of
which are pacific, assures the equilibrium
of Kurope. Friendships can and must over
lap these alliances. You stand well with
Italy; nothing could be better. We stand
well with Russia; that Is perfect.
I have told you the origin of our differ
encethe dissatisfaction of Germany at see
ing herself left systematically on one side
and the impossibility of our allowing the
announcement of our isolation that la to
say our moral and material diminution.
Our reply has been in a shape which cir
cumstances presented. There may have
been unpleasant hours on one side or the
other, but when all has been said a useless
conflict has been avoided and peace haa
been maintained. That la tha essential
point.

representatives of the people. He Insists
that there Is no need for nnv Irish repre
sentatives to go out Into the desert to se
cure an audience for his Ideas. No Indi
vidual who does not aspire to be a dictator
has need of a fairer arena or a better
medium than that afforded by the Irish
party, the National Directory, and if
necessary the national convention. . Seces
sion from the party, repudiation of tho
pledge, personal attacks upon the men who
have spent their Uvea In honest service In
the cause can be Inspired only by the Lo
tion, he says, that tho judgment of the
Individual is worth more than that of tho
combined Judgment of all of the other
representatives, Parliamentary and other,
of the Irish people; and that the Individual
judgment Is worth more than unity In
the ranks nnd unity In the face of the foe.
The pretension Is so startling that It
seems on the face of It to be an argument
against the wisdom of any man that would
act upon it, Mr. Devlin urged, and to
discredit antecedently any policy put for
ward by him. If the policy lias any ele
ments of good In It they are only prejudiced
by the refusal of the constitutional meth
ods of propaganda provided for in the
organization of the united Irish movement.
Mr. Devlin says that It "Is the slmpln
duty of every Irish nationalist to dedino
to be drawn Into useless controversies ovei-
i dead Issues, although those who have been
atttacked may find In the discussslon of
those matters their best vindication." But
it Is believed that there la really no di
vision among the masses of the Irish peo
ple on the Issue between a pledge-bound
and a go-as-you-pleaso representation; or
to the merits of the policy of land pur
chase on a 20 per cent reduction to the
