Oct. i9.-Special.)-The ban quet to bo Riven on the night of Novem ber during the meeting of the Stale Teachers' association will be the best affair of the kind ever held In Uncoln.

Senators Burkett and Brown and Governor Sheldon. No matter what tho outcome of the election Mr. Bryan has promised to be on hand and It is barely possible, though the master of ceremonies is not responsible for the statement, lie might announce his candidacy for the nomi nation In 1912, also Ms platform. .This "might" has added interest to the oc casion so everybody wants to come. The following letter by Mr. Fowler, written to ti Omaha woman. Is characteristic of doiens ; that Mr. Fowler has sent out: My Dear Madame I am lust In rrreint of your letter of recent dnte asking me to reserve four places for you nt the t'nion School banquet, and enclosing jour P. O. money order for it. hut I regret to Inform you thafc all the places left with nie for wcrvstions have been taken and paid for. It ia hardy possible, but quite unlikely, that you can secure reservations at oiv of the tables reserved for the educational institutions of the state, each of which was allotted a table for its own uso with a definite number of plates. I regret that I am compelled to return herewith your P. O. money order. How ever, on account of the extraordinary de mand for pUces at this banquet the com- mil I'M has derided to open the gallery of the Auditorium after 7:.T0 o'clock for spec tators holding membership tickets in tho ."MeorasKa mate Teaeiiers association, ma gallery Is a much better point of view than could possibly be obtained on tho main floor. extracts from the Commoner in the Con gressional Record. This wae from Mr. Bryan, and, after discussing the bill, he said that It waa a very meritorious meas ure and deserved the support of every democrat. This bill, which was known as the Williams bill, was generally re garded, and rightly so, as representing Mr. Bryan's Ideas on the subject covered. The democrats made -no effort to push the bill and finally a republican member of the bouse from California moved to substitute the Williams bill for the re publican currency measure. There was quite a stir on the democratic sldo of the house. The result of the vote on this proposition was that only six democrats voted to substitute the Williams, or Bryan, bill for the republican bill. Twenty-nine voted not to do so and 94 simply voted "present." AlBCRN. Neb.. Oct. .-(SpeclaI.)-lIon. Ernest M. Pollard addresaed a large audi ence at the court house at this place last night. His address was well received by the enthusiastic crowd, and his explanation of the republican platform was clear and easily understood by all. RCSIIVILLK. Neb.. Oct. .-(8pecial Tel egram.)

C. II. Chase was next In troduced and briefly stated his position as candidate for state senator. Ktnest Myers, 1 candidate for state senator In the Four teenth district, followed with a business like talk on matters of state Interest. He waa received with applause. Ex-Senator turnery conciuara me program with an energetic talk on both state and national lines, scoring Mr. Bryan and the democratic party on their record of inconsistency and Insincerity, lie concluded amidst applause. The meeting was the best held In Rushvlllo during this campaign and lias made a good impression. FARE ACCOUNT OF COERCION Lurid Yarn About Grove-Wharton Construction Company Denied. AFFIDAVITS PROM THE WOEKMEN Firm Dearie Brer Harta Soaght ta lalaeaos Employ' Politico aa Latter Sastala Statemeat. Uader Oath. ' Just another World-HraIJ fake. Just anoUiar campaign lie. made out of Khole cloth, for the purpose of catching K few possible votes for the Peerless Leader Mid the congressman frtm the Second Ne braska, who flnda hlmsejf In imminent need of votes to bolster Ms fast waning fortunes. But not a word of truth in tha sensational story f n b,aiuvict l cotjeerned. That Ja nothing new to the people of Omaha, for they hare long been accua W tomed to such performances by the World v Herald Just on the eve of elections. This I time the double-ender printed a sensational tale to the effect that the Grove-Wharton Construction company was threatening lte men with instant dismissal in event or Bryan's election. It paraded tha story with all the force of a double-column heading, and big type, and brought out a man from Council Bluffs who expressed a willingness to hit all tba men discharged by the ' Grove-Wharton company. This lattr mart , waa no doubt misled by the World-Herald'a account, just as . that paper Intended he should ba. But President Grove of the company Involved puts a deep dent In the yarn, by his signed statement and the affi davits presented herewith. These will never leach the same readers the World-Herald'a fake am did, but are printed that other v may know the desperate ends to which tha democrats are going In order to deceive tiie voters. . , Text at the Latter. Mr. Grove writes: OMAHA. Oct. 28. To whom it may con. earn: Referring to the article which ap peared in the morning 'and evening issues Bt the world-Herald under date of Or.to bar IT. beg to state that they are but un Mher example of the way the World-Herald fell! distort facts to meet their own ends. No one connected with the Orove-Wharton Construction company haa ever directly or Indirectly threatened any employe with dis missal on aoooiint of political views, or tried to Intimidate ' them Into voting the Lepublican ticket by any such threats. Our uok keeper and at leant one out of our five foremsn (there may be others aa we have Vol canvassed them are democrats who Will vote the democratic ticket. We attach an affidavit from Mr. Oliver Rouse, our bookkeeper, which completely covers thla point. Relative to the further statement In the World-Herald that "an employe of the Grove-Wharton Construction oompany who was to have been married in a few days lit 3 been forced to tell his prospective bride Ut tha ceremony cannot take place until pnor;nrc of campaio.v iv statfj GlTea after the election." we wish to state that this Is sn absolute falsehood. gone over our last payroll and find that the omy unmarried man thereon contemplating marriage soon (at least to our knowledge) Is Richard J. Schneider, for whom this statement undoubtedly wss Intended. Yo enclose an affidavit from him also, in which he branda the report a lie. further ws will give a reward of 1100 to anyone who will produce two reputable witnesses who will awear that we forced any man In our em ploy to postpone his wedding or even ad vised blm to do so. Monday arternonn some one from the World-Herald called up Mr. Grove and stated that It had been renorteil to tliem that we would discharge all our employes if Mr. Bryan was elected president of the United States. Mr. Grove denied this, but gave It, in response to further questions, as his personal opinion that work would alacken down in the event of Mr. Bryan's election, thus carrying a reduction in our present force, but. any reduction, if there should be one, would depend on the amount of work; not whether Mr. Bryan la or la not president, and the way a man voted would have no consideration In the .order in which the force will be reduced. Any one would be an Idiot to. believe that wo would reduce our force fust because Mr. Bryan iB'ieJeqted, if 'he shouldi toe,.. unless we are lorcea to Dy lac or worn. It la true that we are In favor of Trillin H. Taft for president and believe that his election will insure and continue the present prosperity, put we are coerctna no man Into voting for lilm, nor will be discharge any man ror voting ror Mr. tiryan.

Sloan of Geneva spoke to a crowd that filled Clay Center's spacious opera house last night. The Clay Center band discoursed excellent muslo and the Repub lican Glee club rendered some excellent campaign songs and ' responded to the hearty recalls of the audience. The speaker, who is our neighbor and one who haa for yeara been actually Interested In matters affecting the farmers, discussed the po litical Issues as related to that large branch of our state voters. Local democratic la sues were being made on the relative In crease of farm and railway valuations. Mr. Sloan showed that Nettleton and Jennison, who voted for the increase of railway values for municipal taxation, had been nominated by the republicans for re-election, while Mr. Ashton, who had voted against such Increase, had been rewarded by tho democrats of Clay county and the rest of tho Fifth congressional district by tho nomination for congress. SEWARD, Neb., Oct. 29. (Special.) Hon. K. 11. Henshaw spoke hers last night to an audience that crowded the opera house. R. 8. Norval, chairman of the meeting-. In making the opening introductory remarks referred, to the article from, Seward, pub-1 lished in the Omaha World-Herald, saying that the 2,000 employes who were said to work In the Seward Bottling works were only the father, son and a single boy. The MUford Flambeau and Taft and Sherman clubs were here and, headed by the band, marched over town firing skyrockets. Some time ago John Fleener tacked a ntice on Thomas' pop factory saying that "unices Brysn is elected thla factory with Its 2,000 hands will be closed down." John did thla for a Joke and the .World-Herald correspondent In Seward sent it Into that paper, which printed it in that sheet with large headline. Then Bryan's Commoner printed It. The only mistake made by the World-Herald correspondent was that he added three ciphers too many, as the fac tory only employs two men about three days In the week. But this Is as near aa the World-Herald ever cornea to the truth, and Its readers make allowances accord ingly. The factory will continue to operate with its two hands just the same, no mat ter which Bill is elected, but probably with better success If Taft is elected. GENOA. Neb., Oct. 9. (Special.) The false and misleading report in Tuesday's World-Herald of the republican rally held here last Saturday evening Is about on a par with what may be expected from demo cratic sources. The facts are that,, despite the rain and mud, the large opera house was filled and It was found necesssry to bring In many extra seats. The meeting waa far superior, both In point of numbers and enthusiasm, to the democratic rally Qf the previous venire, when they had the advantage of nice weather. Senator Brown made an Interesting, forceful and telling argument, holding the undivided attention of the large audience for more than two hours. Our democratic ft lends are certainly welceme to all the consola tion they can extract from Senator Brown'a speech and the results of the meeting. LOWLLI Neb., Oct. 2.-(8peclsl.)- Grant Martin, assistant attorney general together with the local candidates, held good meeting here last night. Tills waa the third meeting held by Mr. Martin In this county. He la a clean cut, logical speaker ana his (epeeohes have been well received. Tne large attendance that haa greetd the ii publican speakers In this county Is good evidence of the intereat that the farmers are taking in this campaign. Conditions are so favorable and times so prosperous that there seems to be no sentiment for a political change in this part of Nebraska STEIN AL'ER, Neb.. Oct. HS.-tSpecial.)-Congrcssnian Pollard addressed two large audiencea yesterday. Ha spoke at Crab Orchard In the afternoon and at Stsinauer In the evening. Mr. Pollard was In the city a tew nours this morning. He said that everywhere he has been there la evidence of a growing sentiment towards the republi can atate and national 'tickets. He said j that the sentiment for Judge Taft is grow ing stronger every day that the campaign progreases. The farmera and business men are afraid of the effect the sucoess of the democratic party might have. NEMAHA. Neb.. Oct. .-(Special.) with the leaders of his party In congress. John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, the leader of tha party In th house, Intro duced a bill which had a guaranty pro vision In It. Mr. Williams asked per Congressmait Pollard apoke here yiter day. afternoon. , He had a good-alxed au dience and waa given close attention. I(e took up the various issues of ins cam paign and among them the bank guar anty plan. He said that a bill was be fore congress laat winter which well illustrates the attitude of the democrat in Washington in regard to Mr. Bryan's ideas ou currency legislatloa and the bank guaranty proposition. Mr. Bryan was In Washington and held a conference niissiou, ahlch ess given, te print um DEMOCRATS FORCED I.TO CORXER. Records Absolutely Disprove Their Tax Statements. TECUMSEIT. Neb., Oct. 2!.- (Speclal.) Demoerats have been compelled to admit here the rankest kind of misrepresentation, as a few days ago they Issued a circular which alleged to show that railroad taxes In Johnson county hsd increased only 18 per cent, while they claimed farm land taxes had Increased 25 per cent. Confronted with the records the demo crats admitted they were squelched. The county clerk Issued a sworn statement which was put alongside the statement made by the democratic '"county ccntial committee. The democrats based their argument on the fact that taxes In 1I07 weie very much less than in 1908. The fact of the matter was brought to public attention. A i-mlll road levy was nade this year none was made last year, This Is the only increase which anyone has attempted to show after the records were produced. As to the increase In railroad values County Clerk W. C. Redfleld waa able to swear that railroad values are adjusted each year, and there has been no change In land values In four years. This com pletely threw the uemocrats out on their statement, made on handbills, that the railroads were getting out easy this year. While the democrats claimed taxes on farm lands had increased the county clerk swore that tho following was a good ex ample of the way In which the taxes hare decreased1: ' Tax Owner.

The red Ink header across the front page, together with three slug heads on same page, two of them over double-leaded columns, would justify one In supposing he was looking at a democratic sheet near election time. This conclusion would be Justified also by reading a two-column story on tho Inside, in the "News from Over the State" space, but bearing a New York date line, with a bold faced heading "A Bitter Fight Against Hughes." A reader might conclude ho was mistaken upon reading thu two or three editorials bearing on politics, bat upon leading a second tlmo lie would change his mind, as they are of the milk- and-water variety that are not even "im portant It true." The Hughes story bears nil the earmarks of being paid matter edited by someone on tho democratic publicity bureau In Nebraska. The Bee's exposure of this plan to "sell out" several such papers was timely, and I truant it wjll keep up tho vigilance. Youia truly, A SUBSCRIBER.
