Papier thanRea Tnae This Year. GRAND 1SUAND, Neb.. Oct. 31.-(Spo-I11I Telegram.) Several thousand Issues of the Grand Island democrats were sent nut this week to old soldiers In other parts of the state, containing several articles of a grossly mlsrepresentatlve nature and un justly assailing the record of Governor Sheldon. Most of the articles are written by a socialist member of the home nnd a few by democrats. That the pseudo-sympathy of the democratic party will have little weight here Is a foregone conclu sion. Its anxiety for the welfare of the old soldiers Is such that is denounced by them, two years ago, for voting for the legislative candidates, declaring that they had no right to vote for these and lesser officials. It said: "This year the majority of the taxpay ers said they wanted Ryan and Thomssen (legislative candidates) and Cleary to rep resent them, hut the home, which has no financial Interest In the county affairs said: No. you can't have them we will decide that matter for you, for of course we know best what vou need." The Anxelger Herald, democratic, was even more specific In Its hope that the members of the home could be prevented from voting In the future. It said: Our election of last Tuesday has evi denced once again that the citizens and taxpayers permanently located here have really nothing to nay by reason of the fact that the old soldiers, sustained by the state, prescribe (or us whom we shall have for officials. In spite of the fact that nearly every democrat was elected It Is of no avail, for the Soldiers' Home comes down with 200 solid republicans and throws aside the will of the taxpayers. I'nder these circum stances the entire republican ticket was elected, with the exception of F. W. Aahton for senator. Could we throw out the Soldiers' Home the enttre democratic ticket would have been elected. The genuineness of the sympathy for the old soldier, whom these papers are now trying Inveigle Into a vote for the demo cratic ticket Is thus apparent. C. G. Van ness, a member of the Home, and republi can committeeman, vigorously denounced the Issue of the democrats as mlsrepresen tative of the old soldiers of the Home as a clars. "We know," said Mr. Vanness "that Governor SheMon was not responsible for the turmoil that has been created In this matter, and we also know that the cowardly, untruthful, scurrilous and malicious attack made by the Democrat Is made for political purposes only and not one of sympathy with the old soldier, either with reference to pensions or anything else. And I want to urfcu upon all old soldiers over the sttte not to .be misled by this sheet. If the,- do permit themselves to be deceived they will be doing an Injustice not only to themselves, but also to us." AVOCA. Neb.. Oct. 31. (8peclal) C. A. Robblns and the republican candidates ad dressed the voters at the opera house Thurs-day night. Every seat In the house was taken and many were compelled to stand. The audience gave the speakers the closest attention. H. G. Wellensick pre sided t the meeting and the Slemer'a band furnished the music. BEATRICE, Neb., Oct. St. (Special.) Preceded by a spectacular torch, light and fireworks demonstration, a big republican meeting was held at the Paddock opera houso last evening to wind up the cam paign In this city. Senator Burkett was the speaker of the evening. D. J. Killen. Adam McMullln and Lloyd Crocker, county candidates, also making brief addresses on state and local Issues. Senator Burkett declared Bryan doesn't know what he Is talking about. He doesn't know what laws have been passed, doesn't read the federal statutes, and has proposed a lot of re forms long after the republican congress has enacted them. Democrats demand pop. ular election of senators,' but the southern democratic members wont vote for It: they demand guarantee deposits, but only nine democrats voted for It In the two houses of congress at the last session. The rise and fall of 16 to 1, Imperialism, mili tarism and democratic Issues were humor ously dealt with by the speaker. ST. PAUL. Neb..
