Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 24. In
dianapolis put on a red and yellow
dress to welcome Charles E. Hughes.
His special rolled into the station
an hour ahead of schedule time and
the celebration upon which republi
cans here have spent days of pre
paration was on. .
They met him with a bedlam" of
.cheers, yells, factory whistles and au
tomobile sirens. They lighted their
fireworks and plastered 1 patch of
flaming red on the Indiana sky. They
stood iy the tens of thousands, in
the streets and cheered him along the
way. Most of the ime they couldn t
see him for the smoke, but they knew
he was there with Charles W. Fair-f
banks, his running mate, in one of the
first automobiles and they shot up
more rockets and burned more red
fire and made more smoke and
cheered some more.
Line Over Two Miles. ;
Scores of flags bedecked automV
biles swung into line behind the nomi
nee's car for the parade through the
city to Tomlinson hall. Behind the
cars came the men 6n foot, thousands
of torch-bearing marchers. - Republi
can leaders, who staged the big dem
onstration said that the line of march
ers extended for more than two miles.
The streets around thes station and
alone the line of march were choked
by throngs the like of which the nomi
nee has not met anywhere since the
.., day he starred on his presidential
campaign. Bluccoats by the hundred
- kept the way clear. s'
Noise and Fire a Tonic.
The red fire, the cheers of the
crowds, the marching thousands, how
ever, acted as a tonic. Mr. Hughes
was smiling from the time he left
the train. H..spent most of th time
during the"' -parade standing up "in
his car waving his hat in acknowl
edgment The speech which' Mr. Hughes de
livered here tonight wound up his
Indiana campaign so far as this trip
is concerned. Mr. Hughes will re
main here as the guest of Mr. Fair
banks till early Monday, when he
will leave for Dayton, O. y.
When introducing Mr,' Hughes,
Charles W. Fairbanks, the chairman
.of the meeting, said of him: "We
recognize in him a man who is in
sympathy with our highest ideals
the advocate of every good cause; the
sincere and helpful friend of the great
body of wage earners in America. He
stands for policies which mean better
wages for more people and for more
of the time, than do the policies of
, the democratic party. -
Enemy of Grafters,
"Able, straightforwird, unafraid in
every responsibility, able as governor
of the great empire state; the enemy
of graft and grafters everywhere, I
present to you a man who is a pro
found student of the problems of our
government, who will act in every
exigency when he has mastered the
truth."
It was 8:40 o'clock before Mr.
Hughes addressed the crowd. The bi t
audience had waited patiently from 7
o'clock. Many had stood the entire
tiime. Thousands were turned away
unable to get int the hall.
"This great demonstration seems to
me," Mr. Hughes said, "a sincere,
cordial and enthusiastic manifestation i
of an intense desire for the success j
of the republican ticket in November.
I consider it a happy augury of suc
cess in state and nation."
Refers 4o 1907. ;
"How about 1907?" asked a man in
the balcony, when Mr. Hughes as
sailed the democratic party for the
business depression of 1913.
"How about 1907?" the nominee
quickly repeated, pointing his fingerat
the questioner. "We had a monetary
condition in 1907, which the republi
can party the very next year recti
fied by the Aldrich-Vreeland bill
which saved this country from panic
in 1913." The crowd yelled.

Strong tor Republican f dates
Week Spent in Rock, Boyd,
Keya Paha and Holt Coun
ties Shows How Public
Sentiment Trends.
By HARRY O. PALMER.
Campaigning with Moses P. Kin
kaid and John L. Kennedy is always
refreshing and has' from the beginning
been interesting to me, but I want to
rsay that it sometimes becomes pretty
strerfuous. Since the first week m
September I have been following in
the foot steps of statesmen, gather-;
ing data from the different communi
ties visited as to the condition of the
public pulse, and at the same time in
forming myself as to the needs of Ne
braska. During this time I have spent
some very interesting and instructive
hours with Congressman Moses P.
Kinkaid and John L. Kennedy, repub
lican candidate for United States sen
ator.
Last week we have visited Boyd,
Keva Pahai Rock and Holt counties,
and I now feel safe in prognosticating
that Moses f. Kinkaid will be re
elected from the Sixth district. Some
days ago I read aloud, from an
Omaha paper, a bit of political gossip
to the effect that some young fellow
out at Kearney was going to give Mr.
Kinkaid merrv run tor his political
life. This happened in 'a barber shop.
The barber was then shaving a Kin-
kaidcr who laughed outright with such
violence that he almost lost his life in
the chair. I would suggest that these
humorous bits of democratic political
bunk are dangerous to life and limb
and should be used only with abun
dant caution. "Kennedy and Kinkaid"
is the slogan of the Sixth district re
publicans. They tell me that they
want a man like John L. Kennedy to
co-operate with Mr. Kinkaid in the
great work that can be done for the
Sixth district at Washington.
This is a country of magnificent
distances, sure enough. I am writing
from Basse(t, up in Rock county. Ob
serving that the voters are not 'as
numerous here, as elsewhere in the
state) I asked Mr. Kennedy why he
was spending so much time here. He
quickly put me right on this, saying,
"It is my opinion that too many men
have pretended to represent a state or
a district without being familiar with
its needs and possibilities. Before this
campajgn is over I am going to know
Nebraska familiarity from one' end to
the other'.' Now Mr. Kennedy it right
in this and the people up here ap
preciate it, too,I want to tell you.
We left Lynch the other day, piloted
by Bill Hum- of that place., and we

... Lead Corporation
An Omaha man is slated to be head
of a $50,000,000 corporation.' The cor
poration is .the National Lead com
pany, which does t e big end of the
lead business throughout the country
and Edward J. Cornish is the Omaha
man, who wilt be, if he is not al
ready, the new president.
Mr. Cornish as vice president of
the National Lead company, has
come into line for promotion by the
recent death of President Lawrence.
A meeting of the directors was to
have been held last Friday, Mr. Cor
nish in the interval being the acting
head, it bting understood that he
would be form.-ily elected cither at
this last meeting or the njxt one.
The understanding is also that a
salary, goes with the presie'ency cor
responding to a $50,000,000 corpora
tion. '
Mr. Cornish, who practiced law
here many years, got in touch with
the lead business through the Carter
White lead works. He for a long rime
was president of the Omaha park
board and with Mrs. Cornish has
made many liberal contributions tow
ard the enlargement and development
of our park system. His sister, Mrs.
J. M. Metcalf, resides here and his
brother. Albert J. Cornish, is district
judge at Lincoln.
Flyer Killed by Fall
! Three Hundred Feet
1 North Yakima, Wash., Sept. 24.
George Rolla, an aeronaut of Spo
kane, fell 300 feet at the state fair
yesterday and was killed. He had
been using four' parachutes in his
flights. Today he went up 500 feet
and when he left the balloon 'the first
parachute opened, but when he at
tempted to shift to a second para
chute it failed to open and he was
dashed to the ground.
Chicago, Sept. 24. Charles A. Coey,
an amateur aeronaut, was rescued
unconsciousfrom Lake Michigan yes
terday after his baloon sprang a leak,
and tumbled into the water. Coey
had ascended from the ground' where
a society fair was in progress. He
vas rescued by life savers. ,
Congressman 'Frear
' Speaks af Fairbury
Fairbun' Neb., Sept. 24. (Special
Telegram.) Congressman James
Frear of Wisconsin addressed a large
crowd of voters on the south side of
the square here yesterday. The
Fairbury bandentertained the crowd
with a concert preceding the speaking.
Mr. Frear talked for more than an
hour on national issues and took the
president and democratic congress tot
r . T I j 1 '
wan ur cxiravagance. nc uruvc iiumc
the fact during his extended talk that
in thirteen southern states thirty-one
chairmen out of thirty-two most im
portant committees in the house of
representaives arc located. Congress
man Frear asserted that the Wilson
administration increased the cost of
running the government nearly 30 per
cent over the Taft record.
Victor Wilson, democratic candi
date for state railway commissioner,
spoke at the court house in the eve
nin". -
forded Boyd and Keya Paha counties
that day. Bill is one of those seriou:.
minded drivers, apparently, but in fact
full of surprises. We drove over sand
roads with a vengeance and oc
casionally Bill found it necessary to
ask the distance to the next habita
tion. Over near Burton he asked a
wayfarer the distande to Springview
and was told some figure which was
larger than the distance we had been
given some mile back. Bill looked
at me without aiy show of humour
and remarked, "Harry (you know in
politics you always call a fellow by
his, first name) we aren't gaining a
damned bit."
We spent a night in Bassett, near
the old homestead of Judge A. L. Sut
.on, republican candidate for gov
ernor. Now let me tell you they arc
certainly for the judge up here. Both
republicans and democrats are for
him. I learned that they were very
much put out because of an attempt
by liquor people to spread a story to
the effect that (the judge was not
making this campaign in good faith
so far as the dry amendment was con
tented. Jf the opinion of a man's
homesteader friends may be relied on
as the true test tf his strength, Judge
Sutton will be elected governor. Mr.
Kennedy has been giving the assur
ance all along the -line that if Judge
Sutton is elected there will be no un
seen power or boss of any interest di
recting his arm as governor. I am
convinced that if Judge Sutton is not
embarrassed by tho overzealous
activity of certain of his supporters
he will be elected. I talked with sev
eral Bryan democrats in Newport,
whose names I am not at liberty to
disclose, and they assured me that
thev would not vote for Mr. Hitch
cock for the reason that he had never
been a democrat to begin with, and
that he had been a stumbling block
for Mr, Bryan and the Wilson ad
ministration and at the last minute
had begun to talk Wilson as the issue
in the hope that he might thereby
make amends.
Now in short the voters all through
the state are doing a lot of quiet
thinking about politics. The world
war and the sufferings of mankind
have softened hearts everywhere.
This is one thing -which is going to
make the anti-liquor vote so heavy
this fall. It i, this that is going to
elect John L. Kennedy and Judge Sut
ton. The people can't stand the sus
pense much longer, and 'the uncer
tainty of the attitude of the demo
cratic administration is going to cause
voters to vote the republican ticket
as a m.anl nt iretftnff relief. These
are" the views of the people up in these
parts asj find them.

aerial fighting around Verdun and
succeeded in bringing down four Ger

feat he recently received a war cross
and military medal from the hand of
General Joffre, who referred to him
as "a bold and courigeous pilot." He
had been mentioned frequently for
bravery in the official reports.

NEW YORK'S LINES
BRANDED UNFAIR
Labor Leaders Take Action
Leading: Up to Expected
Contest.
WILL "DISCOVER PATRONS"
New York, Sept. 24. Traction lines
of New York, upon which a strike has
been in progress since September 6,
were officially placed upon the unfair
list today by the conference of labor
leaders which yesteiday called for, a
suspension of work by approximately
600,000 workers to aid the striking
carmen.
Arrangements have been made to
picket the subway, elevated and sur
face lines, it was announced, for the
purpose of "discovering the patrons."
Penaltiesi for riding upon these lines
will be imposed upon members of
unions by their respective organisa
tions, it was stated by Ernest liohm,
secretary of the Central Federated
union.
The proposal to suspend iwork is
based by labor leaders upon the con
tention that union men have no right
to tide upon cars operated by strike
breakers and protected by policemen.
They assert, in addition, that by using
such means of transportation they are
menacing their personal safety. '
Members-of the labor conference,
which is said to represent eighty
unions in Greater New York, con
tinued their plans today to- put the
sympathetic strike into effect at '8
o'clock next Wednesday morning.

the so-called 'tanks." The complaint
wjll be on the ground that use of
these new engines of war is contrary
to recognized methods, of civilized
warfare.
