Drys Do Not Like
Wilson's Answer
To Their Question
Beresford, S. D., Oct. 5. A re
sponse from Secretary Tumulty in re
gard to President Wilson's attitude
on prohibition received today by
.the prohibition national campaigning
forces failed to .satisfy them, and
charges that the secretary had evaded
the issue were freely made.
What the prohibitionists, through
Oliver W, Stewart, their campaign
manager, asked the president almost
two weeks ago was whether tha Cal
ifornia wets were authorised to use
his name as being opposed to state
wide prohibition. A reply by tele
graph at Bakersfield, Cel., on the fol
lowing day was requested, in order
that the answer might be used in the
'California fight.
Tumulty's response went to San
'rancisco by mail and did not reach
the party until today at Parker, S. p.
No direct reference was made to
the California situation in Secretary
I umulty a reply. He merely acknowl
edged receipt of the telegram, en
closed two form letters on the presi
dent's position and said that there
waa a third the Grogan letter
which was inaccessible.
The letters enclosed were written
at different times to Rev. Thomas B
Shannon of Newark, N. J., and W. B
Haldeman of Louisville. In the Shan
non letter, written in May, 1911, the
president declared for local option
and declared that the liquor question
was not susceptible of being made a
part ol a party program. The Halde
man letter of tour years later said
that the president would not attempt
to approve or disapprove statewide
prohibition in state where he did
not know conditions. It also made
reference to the Grogan letter, which
it appears, Mr. Haldeman did not
think squared with the Shannon let
ter.
The prohibition campaigners de
clare. after receiving Tumulty's letter.
that if the president does not take a
Stronger stand than for local option,
they can onlv classify him as a friend
of the 'met interests.

BEACH SEES ONLY
GAINSJOR TICKET
Reports at Republican Head'
quarters Give Great Encour
agement to the Chairman.
ATTACK (W STTTTOH FALLS
(Pram B Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Oct. 5. (Special,) Re
ports of republican gains all over the
State and of general lining up of the
voters for the republican candidates
from Hughes down the line to the
legislative candidates, continue to
come to the headquarters of the re
publican state committee.
The frantic efforts of the democrats
to turn something to account is not
getting very far and the attack upon
Judge Sutton, brought out the follow
ing from Chairman Beach of the re
publican state committee this morn
ing: "A local democratic newspaper has
been trying for several days to work
itself into a frenzy over some alleged
votes that Judge Sutton, the repuli
can candidate fpr governor is said to
have east whilt a member of the
state legislature some twenty-five
years ago, It is having an awful
hard time trying to attract attention
from somebody to its dirty political
methods. This paper pursued the
same course in the last campaign
for the election of city commissioners
in the city of Lincoln. Its vicious
attacks on Mayor Charles W. Bryan
was probably more than any other
thing, the cause of his large majority,
and its present attack will produce
about the same result. This paper's
pet candidate for governor, Keith Ne
ville, is absolutely safe from any such
attacks as he has no past. He is dis
covery of the democratic boss, Ar
thur Mullen, and if such a calamity
should happen that he should be
chosen governor of Kebrasak, is there
any one so unsophisticated aa tn sup
pose for. one minute that he would
refuse to take orders from the demo
cratic boss who discovered him?" '
"We see a general tendency toward
the republican ticket," said Secretary
Beebe. "When a man begins to study
the situation carefully there is but one
result, he sees the weakness of the
democratic claims and the strength of
the republican arguments. The demo.
cratie party has not . changed ma
terially from what it has always been
The present administration is running
behind every day and the rerson is ap
parent to anybody who will take the
trouble to study the matter just a
little."

Dominant Figure in Republican
Politics of His State
Meets Death.
WAS G. A. R. COMMANDER
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 5-Major
William Warner, former United
States senator from Missouri, died
at his home here yesterday.
For many vears Major William
Warner was a dominant figure in
republican politics in Missouri, serv
ing his slate as representative in con
gress and United Slates senator. His
prominence in the republican party
was such that his name was suggest
ed several times in connection with
the presidential nomination in Grand
Army circles. He was the first de'
partment commander of the nrganiia
tion in Missouri and in 1888 was
elected r national commander-in-chief.
Born in Wiaconsln.
Major Warner was born in Lafiv
ette county,, Wisconsin. lune 11, 1841)
He was the youngest of six children
and his father worked In the lead
mines of southern Wisconsin. Five
years after William was bom his
father died. When 6 years old the boy
began working in the mines.
When he was 10 years old he was
offered a place in a grocery store.
The position paid him more wage"
and gave him more time for stuJy,
and he took it. For four years he
worked and studied and saved enough
money above his board to pay a year's
tuition at a neighboring college.
Joins the Army.
At Shutlsburg, Wis., he organised
a company and was unanimously
elected its lieutensnt. The Thirty
third Wisconsin infantry was formed,
Lieutenant Warner's company was
assigned to it, and he was elected ad
jutant. In the army he was engaged
in active service from the start. A
month after he was mustered out, as
a major at Madison, Wis., at the

Enclosure.
If you happened to stroll down
town last evening evidently you noted
there were a Tew people on tha
streets. If by rare fortune you man
aged to get in the Jubilee grounds
you saw what is generally called a
crowd.
After King Ak had delivered prob
ably the most splendid electrical pa
geant in the history of the kingdom,
a big representation of the throng
beat it for the jubilee grounds.
Those turnstiles sounded like the
speeding engine of a racing machine
as the folks streamed through inside.
Talk about fun I Say, if there ever
was a livelier, more orderly good
natured bunch of merrymakers than
those that smoothed the cobbles of
the carnival section- last night, It has
never so far been recorded.
