Local Democrats Wonder What
Effect of Eastern Elections
Will Be on Nebraska.
DEM FACES VERY LONG NOW
(Vom a Staff Correspondent.) '
LINCOLN', Nov. S.-KSpeclal.) People
In Lincoln more or less Interested lit
the result of the elections in the east
re wondering what the effect will he
on Nebraska and the work of W. J.
Bryan tn endeavoring to make out of
the democratic party a prohibition or
ganization. Many are of the opinion that Mayor
Charlie Bryan pulled a "bonehead" when
he grot !n a hurry and Issued his famous
pronunclawent last Sunday morning. In
the opinion of men Interested In the move
ment it Is felt that Mr. Bryan might
have awaited with profit the result of
the outcome of the ex-secretary's work
in Ohio in favor of prohibition before
taking the step he did.
Had he waited a week and there was
anything in the result of the Ohio elec
tion which would have been looked upon
a a victory for the dry forces, Mr.
Bryan could haive Issued his order to
domocrats and had a foundation to stand
UDon.
Many democrats are wearing full
fledged smiles today. They claim that
Bryan and Bryanlsm has been repu
diated. They see in the elections in the east the
downfall of the democratic party also.
The election of McCall in Massachusetts
with a full republican ticket ehlnd him
and Increased power in the legislature,
while in other places republicans have
made gains which mean disaster to demo
cratic hopes in 1916, does not look good
to the average state house democrat.
The showing of the bull moose party
in states where bull mooseism was so
strong two years ago, goes to show that
republicans are back in line and that the
old democratic ship will have to go up
against a solid battery of republican guns
when the next battle begins.

paper man who covers the - Btate house

years, and is well known to all of trie
prominent publlo men of the state, win

Ratenbrck Critically 111.
Game Warden Rutenbeck, who has been
very ill for a week or more with typhoid
pneumonia, is still in a critical condition
at his home. ' He la under the care of
two physicians and two nurses and today
the chance for hla recovery appeared to
be small, though it Is still hoped that

conscious most of tha time for the last
few days.

FRANCE WILL HOT
STOP TILL YICTOR
Briand Reiterate! Government's As

Fight to End.
MUST HAVE DURABLE PEACE
Bl M.KTIN.
PARIS, Not. 3. A resolution ex
pressing confidence In the new
Briand government was adopted this
evening by a vote of 615 to 1.
PARIS, Nov. 3. "France will not
sign a peace agreement until after
its restoration by right ot victory and
until it shall have obtained guaran
tees ot a durable peace," said Pre
mier Briand today.
This statement was Included In
the ministerial declaration ot the
new cabinet, which was read before
the Chamber ot Deputies and the
Senate by the premier.
"We are at war," said the premier.
"The house is for action. Only by close
and Incessant co-operation will victory
be obtained. Everyone must accomplish
his task. Once all responsibilities are
established, evey fault, every failure,
will be punished.
Salute the Army.
"That Is the program of the now gov
ernment. The government aided by Par
liament, must furnish all means to the
army, whom we salute with emotion and
pride."
With such an army, with such a
chief, with a navy which so efficaciously
supports It, all hopes are permissible,
and the country, assured as to the out
come of the war, will follow its develop
ments with serenity and lmpurturable
calm.
"This high standard of national con
duct, which has been In evidence for
fifteen months, obliges the government
to consider the question of the censor
ship. The government, with the colla
boration of the press, will find in the
application of the laws the necessary
reconciliation between Ilberalty and
authority.
"We appeal to your co-operation. We
know that your foremost Intention is to
second the action of the government.
On its part, the government is ready to
accomplish the whole of its task and
assume all responsibility.
"It Is by a union of the nation, the
Parliament and the government that we
will pursue the war to the end, to a
victory that will drive the enemy from
all invaded territory.
Not Disturbed Peace,
"France has not disturbed the peace.
Resting all provocating, it did everything
possible to maintain It. It was premedi
tated aggression. It accepted war with
out fear and it will not cease the strug
gle until the enemy has been mastered.
This end the allied nations will reach by
a close union,
"We are In full accord with the Brit
ish government concerning the conduot
of military operations In the Balkans.
France and Its allies will never abandon
the heroic nation whose resistance com
pels the admiration of the world.
"The present enterprise of Germany In
the Balkans attests the failure of that
nations efforts in the principal theaters
of hostilities. Thus because its offensive
haa been . broken on the French front
and on the Russian front, it attempts
this diversion.
"Its hopes will he shattered. The cen-

A PURE WHITE MINERAL OIL
Your Doctor Prescribes It
THE highest medical authorities everywhere now endorse puro
mineral oil as a remedy for constipation,
Nujol conforms to the requirements of the mineral oil treatment as
prescribed by its discoverer, Sir William Arbuthnot Lane. It gives
permanent, not temporary, relief from constipation, with none of tha
harmful after-effects of laxative drugs.
Nujol is odorless and tasteless, absolutory neutral, and is not digested
or absorbed into the system. It acta merely as a mechanical lubricant.
Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not give quick, temporary relief.
But Nujol is a genuine remedy in that it relieves constipation in tha
most natural way by lubricating the lining of the intestines, softening
the intestinal contents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel
. activity.
