RANKS OF DEMOS
BECOME SHAKEN
Evidences on All Sides That
Harmony Is Lacking Among
the Bourbons.
BRYAN MEN DISSATISFIED
(Fiorn a Staff CormpowlonU
Lincoln, Sept. 26. (Special.) "We
are not doing any worrying over the
so-calied republican deflection of
votes to President Wilson," said Jess
Craig, manager of the speakers'
bureau of the republican state com
mittee today.
'It is giving the democratic press
a whole lot more concern than it is
us.
Every report we have received has
Eiven the state committee satislac
tion. It seems strange for ordinarily
one expects to hear from spotted Io
calities where some candidate has
aroused opposition, but not so this
year. Above all we have found the
people of Nebraska most receptive
to the candidacy of Justice Hughes
and he is apparently winning tresh
admirers each day' with his clean
cut denunciation of democratic abuse.
Democrats Split.
"Something else is giving us a lot
of satisfaction too. It's the number
of democrats who are flocking to re
publican state headquarters, and in
dicating that at least two democratic
candidates cannot hope for the united
suppor, of their party. -Apparently it
is the purpose of the democratic
press o hide he facional roubles of
hat organizaion.
"It's becoming more apparent every
day that hundreds of Bryan demo
crats will support the republican
ticket, at least." .
Constantly increasing demands for
literature have compelled the republi
can state committee again to enlarge
tne neaciquarters. i. jonns, wno
is in charge of the publicity bureau,
has been given separate quarters and
has a big force working to keep pace
with the requests for campaign ma
terial. Nebraska is going to receive a lively
bombardment from republican ora
tors within the next few weeks. Jess
Craig has a number of speakers ar
ranged for and is now completing
their itineraries.
Rail Commission Comes
To Deadlock With Reed
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Sept. 26. (Special.) The
railway commsision has asked Attor
ney General Reed tot prosecute the
Farmers' Co-Operative Elevator com
pany of Riverdale for failure to abide
by the state warehouse law although
Mr. Reed has pronounced the law un
constitutional and unenforceable. Mr.
Reed has indicated that he will not
prosecute, since he does not believe
that it can be done successfully.
The commission complains against
the elevator company on the grounds
that it is not submitting its monthly
reports.
Mr. Reed holds the law unconsti
tutional, because, in his opinion, a
grain elevator is not a common car
rier. The State Railway commission
has authority only over common car
riers, according to the state constitu
tion. , x , ,
Neville Speaks on Street;
No Hearers in His Hall
Bridgeport, Neb., Sept. 26. (Spcy
cial Telegram.) Keith Neville spoke
to a mere handful of people on the
streets this afternoon in behalf of his
campaign. The address was scheduled
to be held in the Miller opera house,
but owing to the fact that no hearers
put in their appearance, the speech
was delivered by Neville from his car
on the street. On the whole, theocca
sion was a fiasco.
Leslie M. Shaw to Make
Address in Capital City
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Sept .' 26. (Special.)
Word was received by the republican
state committee here late today that
Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of
the treasury, would speak in Eincoln
at the city auditorium on the night of
October 10. Republican managers
here plan to make the Shaw meeting
one of the big rallies of the campaign.
Had Bilious Attacks.
"My son, 19 years of age, suffered
frequently from bilious attacks. My
husband brought home a bottle of
Chamberlain's Tablets and began giv
ing them to him. They helped him
right away. He began to-eat heartily
and picked up right along," writes
Mrs. Thomas Camobell. Kirkville.

Federal Drainage for South.
Congressman Keavis stated that
; congress had appropriated $9,000,000
! to give drainage benefits tT the farm
I ers of the south, and that the farmers
I of Richardson and Tawnce counties
and the other counties in Nebraska
had been compelled to get the same
results by heavy special assessments
and charges against their lands. Con
gress, he said, could not be particular
ly generous to any one section and at
the same time be just to all. He as
serted that he had always voted
against such discriminating legislation
and that his opponent had always vot
ed for such legislation.
Both speakers remarked upon the
prosperity of today, but asserted that
it is nothing to brag about, as it is
built upon the graves of the best
young men in Europe and made pos
sible by the woes of a world. After
the war, with the present Underwood
tariff, they urged that the United
States would be inviting the countries
of the world to make the United
States their dumping ground, and that
then prosperity would not reign su
preme, as the present high prices were
due to 'the fact that all Europeans arc
now consumers and not producers, I
that the United States is exporting I
chiefly and because there is litt e im-;
porting. Only one thing will save the
United States from industrial disaster
after the war, thev said, and that is
the protective tariff for which the re
publican party has always stood.
Mr. Kennedy drew tie farmers to
him by .the declaration that he had
farmed in two countries and had an
eleven days' steerage passage in be
tween. Many of his hearers today have
enjoyed a similar experience.
Pawnee Candidates with Party.
In today's campaign two automobile
loads of Pawnee county candidates
have accompanied the speakers. They
are; Harry V. Scott, candidate for
county clerk; John Albright, candidate
for county treasurer; Frank A. Bar

The "Haddorff" Piano Plays

YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN PIANOS.
Some instruments give forth a hard, metallic
sound, and are stiff in key action and slow in re

strange as that statement may sound; Any good
musician will tell you that he can play much better
if the instrument is in "sympathy" with his touch
and technique.

ENTENTE ALLIES

TOWNOFCOMBLES
(CntlnuMl From Pur On.)

pushed their advance on the north of

hut finally the " ground north of
Combles and some distance to the

in a pocket of which the opening was
constantly being narrowed by the
drives of the entente armies.
Close Opening of Pocket.
Yesterday came the combined ef
fort of the French and British to
close the opening or at least render
it so narrow that what could be ex
tracted through it by Germans would
not be-worth while. Only two roads
remained over which the Germans
could withdraw their men and guns.
The single track railroad running
through the place had long since been
rendered useless.

WHY WOMEN .
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi
cine Co.
Women who are well often ask "Are
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful?"
" Why do women write such letters? "
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without tho
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink-
bam Medicine Co. is that Lydia IS. Fink'
ham's Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into. their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements, inflammation, ulceration.
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from tne blues.
It Is Impossible for any woman who
is well and who (STSyr
has never suffered TWaA
to realize how these
poor, suffering wo
men feel when re
stored to health;
their keen desire to
help other women
who are suffering as
they did.
