Why does he not publish an engraving of the original notes and checks? He ha the originals In his possesion. It Is now fourteen days since I asked him to publish engravings of the originals. Surely if I have been guilty of anything of that kind Mr. Hitchcock could immediately catch me at It. The fait is thai Mr. Hitchcock Is power less to prove his assertions. The engrav ings which I published in The Omaha Bee and Lincoln Journal were taken from the io-tcinal Dhotographs. The same engravings appear In the Teles-ram this week. Mr. Hitchcock did not know that I had any photographs of his letters, notes and chocks with reference to the borrowing of the slate money. He bulldozed Hartley Into sivlii him back all the originals. Had he known photographs had been taken he would not have been so bold In calling me a liar. Now he la In a desperate situation. He lias confessed that he did have deal ings with Hartley, after swearing that he never had such dealings. He has con fessed that he received moner from Bart ley, after swearing that he never secured a cent of money from him. Having 'con fessed so much, what shall we now say when in the last hours of the campaign he still pleads that the records of his shame have been mutilated, while steadfastly re fusing to grant my i-equeat of him to pub-) lis!) the originals? Dnasi He Dare Not. 'If the man Is innocent, why does he. not ' s.tHblixtl nls Innocenoe' by lotting thH peoplS see all tho original evidences of his dealings with Hartley? "It Is because he dare not. Every move he makes plunges him deeper and deeper Into the intra of his own shame. That Is why 1 asked him to print engravings of all tho written transactions he had with Bart lev.

That was the letter he blackmailed Hartley Into giving hlin when he settled his Srt.Ort) account with Hartley, as late as 1!X, paying Hartley only S1.O0O In full settlement of the Sti.OOO which ho Justly owed to the state treasury. "Why has Hitchcock refused to publish Vie original evidences of his own srullt? "That question can be best answered by asking another question: "Who ever knew a criminal to produoe In court any evtdenoe against himself?" i More "l)r" Letters. The Telegram prints a cartoon made by a local artist showing Hitchcock In the act of burglarising his way into the I'nlted Stales senate with Hartley s 83,000 loan sticking out of his pocket with this addi tional explanation: "We can Imagine the men who are stand ing Just Inside the senate door, waiting for Hitchcock to break In. The one most anxious to welcome Hitchcock to the senate Is Lorlmer of Illinois. He wears upon his brew the brand of shame, placed there by the fact that his seat was purchased with the money of the big trusts and the crimi nal corporations. I x rimer would rejoice If the people of Nebraska would elect a bird of hta own feather to alt beside him In the senate. "It is up to the people of Nebraska to ay whether or not our state and the demo oratlo party of Nebraska ahall be dis graced by sending Joe Hartley's partner to Join Lorlmer In the national senate. No democrat who lores his party can afford to cast his vote In favor of a man whose election would be a lasting dlsgraoe and ahamo to the democratic party. "Mr. Hitchcock Is now sending thousands of personal letters to the voters In IMatte county, appealing for their votes. In each letter he addresses the man to whom the letter Is sent very affectionately as 'My IVur Mr. Brown," 'My Iar aw. Jones,' nd my dear' everybody. It will be re membered that he always addressed Joe l.artley In the same affectionate terms. But thoe 'dear' letters will not catch any fish In Platte county. The people of Platte tounty do not belong to the sucker family." They Paid It Hsrk.n There are ether articles In the paper bearing on the same subject, one, beaded, "They Paid It Back," as follows: In lssf.. following the hot-wind scourge In Nebraska, the legislature loaned from the state treasury a few thousand dollars o farmers who could not buy seed wheat nd oats for that year's sowing. "The record reads that every farmer In Nebraska has paid back to the state treas ury the money he borrowed front the state. ."Mr. Hitchcock still owes to the state money, principal and Interest, more than 16.0UO a this time, money that he borrowed from Stale Treasurer Hartley. "Is the law of the state made to make farmers pay back the money they bor rowed from the atate treasury, while per mitting men of the Hitchcock kind to re pudlate their drbta due the atate trasury? "V hat do you think of It. boys you who struggled through that awful Mlluation In 14 and 18SS? Think It over, boys. Did the farmers do right whoa they paid bark the money they had borrowed from the stale treasury, or la Hitchcock doing right In the World-Herald office to prevent further offenses. Mr. Hitchcock's effectiveness as a keeper of promises has been as evident In his efforts to help forelRn born cltlrens In In thirty-eight states the political armies are drawn up for the buttle w hich will be decided Tuesday, and which, in many re spect", Is the most Important off-year fiplit the country has seen In ninny years. Not only are state officers to be elected, and a new congress to be chosen, but It Is the general belief that tho lines on which the nstlonal campaign of 1'.tl2 will be fought will be determined and to a large extent the men who are to head the next national tickets will be Indicated by the results of i the battle of ballots Tuesday. Governors and full state tickets are to affairs at the Immigration office. Bequests I be chosen In twenty-eight states. for aid from him as congressman from th s Judges of the supreme court, railroad district have never resulted In anything but disappointment. Senator Bnrkett has been an active and useful friend to people of every birth and religion and he has been Instrumental In helping his constituents when they were Interested In cases of de portation and discrimination among newly arrived Immigrants. Senator Burkett In all cases In which demands to help representatives of any nation or creed has always responded to the best of his ability. , Mr. Hitchcock's responses have been pretenses and he has accomplished nothing. Minnesota Girls Become Robbers In Stillwater, Clara Jeremy and Clara Boyd Confess to Looting Nine Dwellings. 8TILLWATER, Minn., Nov. (I. (Special Telegram.)

The taking of large quan tities of Jewelry and household linen has followed. Clara Jeremy was found by Chief Harnen at her home In Stillwater and the Hoy I girl was Interviewed by Mr. Barnes at the home of George Wallace In St. Paul. The police have not decided what further action will be taken. commissioners and other state officials are to be elected In thirty-eight states. Maine. Vermont, Arkansas and Georgia have held their elections, but the two latter states on Tuesday will elect their representa tives. In Indiana state officials, except gov ernor, will be elected. The terms of thirty United States sena tors wllld expire March 3, next. The democrats In South Carolina and Louisiana have the easiest ' time In this election, for they have the field to them selves, as the republicans did not bother to put up tickets.

This maneuver, while angering the local democrats still standing by Bryan, has not placated the Pahlman managers. One of the mayor's friends at the meeting served notice of their feeling toward Bryan by shouting, "We'll show you where you get off at next Tuesday!" Now the resentment of many of the hot test Dahlman men has spread to Include Hitchcock. By putting two and two to gether, the Dahlmanltes have reached the logical conclusion that Bryan was brought here to boost Hitchcock and knock Pahlman, and they axe determined to retaliate. "It was disgusting to hear the whine of regret for the breaking of a twenty years' friendship that Bryan let out of him when he swung his meul axe on Dahlman," said a close friend of the mayor. "The crocodile tears In his voice did not make a bit with anybody who knows Bryan for Just what he Is, an egotistical lngrate, In vulnerable alike to gratitude or any admonition of political sanity.

Hitchcock Dear Sir: I am in receipt of yours of November 4, asking for a personal vindication at the hands of the people of Omaha and soliciting my support. I shall not comply with your request for many reasons. First I believe you guilty, as charged. You have not answered the accusation except in a puerile way and j-our excuses would only be accepted by the extreme partisan or an idiot. Second If you were innocent of using state money, you are guilty, by your own confession, of accepting money from Joseph b. Jiartley when you were m hnaneial distress and this debt you repudiated, and you admit that you repudiated it. My dear sir, there is no statute of limitation for an honest man and there is no hiding behind a foreclosed first, second or third mortgage with the man who receives and appreciates a kinduess, when he, at a later date, becomes able to make good. Third I have never believed you sincere. I, like you, have lived in Omaha a good many years and I have not forgotten how you came to become a democrat. "When Attorney VVayman is Charged with Fixing Jury Chicago Has a Sensation in Which a Public Prosecutor is Forced Into Court to Answer Charges. CHICAGO, Nov. 6. (Special Telegram.) State.. Attorney Wayman waa put on trial before the nrlevance committee of the Chi cago Bar association today on the charges of Jury fixing made ngalnat htm by Attor ney Charles K. Krbsteln and Arthur Mc Brlde. It was a strange and anomolous situation, absolutely unprecedented In the legal an nals of the county, for only a few hours before Krbstein and Mc-Urlde had surrend ered and given bond1 for J1U.000 on charges of conspiracy, based on the very accusa tions they were pressing before the bar committee. McBrlde took the stand as the first witness and pointed out Way man, as a jury briber. He told of meeting Wayman during the trial of George Katz, two years ago, before Wayman became prosecutor. Ho said Wayman took him to a barrel house, drank whiskey and urged him to j bribe a Juror In the KaU case. He then testified that he did "fix" this Juror, and the result was a verdict of acquittal for Wayman's client. The name of the Juror Wayman Is alleged to have "fixed" through Mclirlde was fin ally brought out after an hour's argument. McBrlde sutd it was Frank Ware, the com mittee ordering him to reply to the ques tions as to the name after repeated objec tions by Attorney Krbsteln. It was stated that a lawyer and two detectives were sent by Krbsteln to the Pacific coast yesterday to bring Ware back to Chicago, when the trial will be resumed and sensational ex posures are expected.

Nov. fi. (Special.) Among Senator Burkett s activities In con gress l.ave been his efforts to secure 1m provements In our educational system. Three years ago he introduced a bill to place agricultural and Industrial work In the normal schools of the country. This hill provided that each of the 150 state normal schools of the I'nlted States should have from fci.oou to J15.0U0 annually, ac cording to the sljse of the school, to sup port a department of agriculture and a department of Industrial education, also education In home milking. The theory of his hill was to prepnro teachers quail- fled to give Instruction in agriculture and homo making In schools for the country youth and to prepare teachers to give economics to the city youth. The state normal school people nat urally took this hill seriously and have urged senators and congressmen In their respective states to pass It. When the bill came to be discussed It was found that agricultural education and education In the Industries were becoming so popular that the bill has been gradually broadened so as to Include secondary schools. At last Senator Burkett and others took hold of the matter in the committee on agri culture In the senate nnd made a very broad and comprehensive vocational edu cation bill and placed It on the senate calendar with the committee's recommenda tion that It pass. This bill, now before the senate, not only provld-s that agri culture, home economics and the trades and Industries shall be taught In the -state normal schools, but that money be ap propriated with which the high schools of the country shall offer studies along these lines to all the youth of the land. Senator Burkett and his associates realize that the acts of congress In 1M2 and 1RS7 establishing the state colleges of agricul ture and mechanic arts and the state ex periment stations did a great deal of good. They see also that these colleges are now mainly devoted to higher education In agriculture and In relation to the Industrial vocations. They also assert that one of these colleges in each state can accommo date only a very small fraction of the farm and city youth who need education In .leffersonlan voMer from 715 South Four teenth street; Joseph l'.Mttlglln. democi at.

Will Hitchcock Put it Back? In a Nutshell. St. Paul Republican. Nine years ago G. M.

It pre sented glaring headlines calling the re publican party and this candidate "part ners of Hartley." The republican state HCotil.mil rage.) as when you solicited my vote for James (. Blaine. They haveia'y double dealing to make su not changed and I submit that if there was nothing else against .."dlocrat! fu" .w. your record mat a man wno is so seliish as to throw to the winds all hs and his family owe to a gTeat political party, repudiating its principles for which you and yours had previously contended, just because you were unsuccessful in your political aspirations such a man is, to say the least, too narrow and too small to be entrusted with national legislation. v Xo, sir, Mr. Hitchcock if the rest of the people of Omaha and the state of Nebraska feel about you es I do, instead of your receiving a vindication at their hands they will bury you under an avalanche of negative votes. Yours truly, E. Ii. WOODS, 540 llamge Building. O. M. Hitchcock Is a candidate for the refused to ask his retirement. This In a nutshell Is the Hitchcock matter. What do the people think of It? as but a sample of many. At the gathering or the democratic county committee Sunday after noon In the Paxton mutterlngs, not loud but deep, were easily to be heard among the mayor's frlendr. The Hitchcock men are singing: "We got him where we want him now," concern ing Bryan. His Indorsement of Hitchcock was unequivocal, without any sort of qual ification. Bryan actually seemed to have fuig'Xton the severe Btrictures he had made on the editor-congressman so re cently, and he Issued full pardon for the serious Indictment of the Hartley disclos ures. This brought wondering comment tContlnued on 6econd Faga) Koraethlng Hotten There. Albion News. Mr. Hitchcock admits he borrowed money of State Treasurer Hartley. The money Mr. Hartley loaned while he was state treasurer proved to be state money, and ha was un able to get It back to repay the Btate. It's u lame argument for Mr. Hitchcock to kv I tilted States senate. He was charged by u waa uuey, private money which he EdKar Howard, a leading democratic editor j borrowed. Anyhow, what could have been of the state, with having borrowed money tno exlHtlng conditions which would lead from ex-State Treasurer Hartley and never ,h pUnI1her. of tne 1(.adlll democratic having paid It buck. His answer was ln,,,aler ln the ate to uo , a repubUclu effect that he had never had any dealings , 8tut(J offlcla, for favor of mm k(n(, witu caniey anu puim uiau ui.i was a liar. Howard printed some of the photographs, showing letters, note and checks which passed between Hitchcock and Hartley, and Hitchcock the acknowl edged that he had borrowed money from Hartley, but that he thought It was private money. The note outlawed while Hartley was In the penitentiary and Hitchcock refused to pay It, settling for a few cents on the dollar, making a stipu lation of the settlement that be was to re ceive back all his papers. Hut Hartley had them photographed without Hitchcock's knowledge. The democratic state commit tee refuted to act. refused to investigate, Obviously, the grim and weather-beaten brick building at 718 South Fourteenth street Is a stronghold of Jeffersonian democracy, leastwise the foregoing list of forty-two dyed-ln-the-wool democrats would not have registered from there as voters ln the forthcoming election. The chances are that Mr. Oulseppe Pln occhlaro, Mr Francesco I'aneblanco, Mr. Sebastiano Pugnarelll, and others from 718 South Fourteenth street could not today, If asked, tell the difference between the Monroe doctrine and Dr. Cook's North pole expedition, and for all they know of Ameri can history, Thomas Jefferson may have been stabbed to death by Aaron Burr In a poker game yet they registered for the purpose of helping the people of Nebraska elect publlo officers. Are neal Tendrrfeet. It Is even doubtful If these Fourteenth street democrats know whether Bert Hitch cock, William Jennings Bryan, Tom Flynn, flick Metcalfe or Admiral Dewey won the battle of Manila bay, and for all they know, tho Alamo may bo located at Sheridan, Wyo., Instead of San Antonio, Tex. More over, It Is perhaps a matter of doubt with them whether Hitchcock ever Intended to put the money back, and It Is quite likely that they think Joe Hartley was sheriff of Dawes county instead of state treasurer. An American tenderfoot In Italy would be Just as unsophisticated, and considering the brief sojourn of these Fourteenth street Jef fersonlans In the I'nlted States, It is no reflection on their Intelligence to say that they are wholly uninformed as to the is sues of the campaign In which they have registered as voters. As already told ln The Bee, It Is freely admitted In and around 718 South Four teenth s'reet that a large crowd of home sick Italian laborers are assembled there awaiting preliminaries Incident to making the return trip to Italy. They are recent arrivals In the I'nlted States, and falling to l.ke this couniiy they are going back to their nutlve land within the next ten days or two weeks at leaat that Is the In formation given to a Bee reporter by the shoe on Othr Foot. Blue Springs Sentinel. Of course It waa all wrong to catch would-be Senator Hitchcock in assisting Hartley to steal the ermanent school fund of the stale, when Hitchcock tells It, but when Goold, who was man enough to pay his buck, became a candidate on the re publicua: ticket, he had committed a hlen ous offense, according to this same Hitch cock, who repudiated his debt and who now wants the voters of the Siate to throw ! man In charge of the macaroni store which about hlin a mantle of charity and send I occupies one of the ground floor rooms of him to the United Slate senate. jtne bulhllng at 718 South.
