Republicans Active
In and About Deshler
'. . ,
Deshler, Neb., Oct. 20. (Special.)

organized here by the election of the
foil owing officers: President, F. W,
Viesaelmeyer; vice president, H. J.
Struve; secretary, Dr. F. B. Hense;
treasurer, Frank Hermenovei. Much
enthusiasm prevailed' at the meeting
and it was decided to wage an effec
tive campaign in an effort to carry
the county for Hughes and Kenned;
by a large majority. i
The recent visit of Judge Hughes
to this section, of the state has given
republicans increased energy, owing
to the fact that many long-time demo
crats have declared their intention of
supporting the republican candidate
for president.
M. B. Russell, Seward, and Burt F.
Powel, Hebron, organized the Dresh
ler club. Mr. Powell is one of Thayer
county's moat active and effective re
publican workers and is doing some
splendid work for the national ticket,

STORM FAILS TO
ST0PG00D WORK
Campaign of Kennedy and
Warner Goes on in State
Regardless of Blizzard.
HUGHES SENTIMENT GROWS
Dakota' City,,Neb, Oct. 20. (Spe
cial.) The onward march of repub
licanism goes on in spite of snow
and blizzard. Although John L. Ken
nedy, republican nominee for United
States senator, and W. P. Warner,
republican candidate for congress
from the Third district, were obliged
to abandon their automobile cam
paign temporarily they will continue
by train to hold meetings as planned.
Hans Knudsen, Jackson; J. J. Mc
Carthy, Ponca; Elmer' Robinson,
Hartington; David Paull, Concord,
and W. F. Filley,- Allen, report that
Hughes sentiment is growing in their
sections of the state, and that since
the speech in Sioux City, the party
sentiment has been crystallizing rap
idly, and that Hughes will get the
normal republican vote this fall, and
that Kennedy and Warner will run
far ahead of the republican state ticket.
Outside of one or two exceptions,
towns in which the saloons are plas
tered with Neville and Hitchcock
posters, Judge Sutton will get a heavy
vott for governor in the Third dis
trict. You can tell the saloons in
these towns a block away by the num
ber of Hitchcock and Neville posters
in the windows.
Comments on Partisanism.
Judge J. J. Eimers, Dakota City,
commenting on the partisanism of
the democratic papers, stated that re
cently one of these papers had placed
a head, showing an endorsement of
President Wilson and the democratic
administration, ""over a news story
which merely described an accident
in which two automobiles had run to
gether. Much displeasure is expressed
here because of the refusal of these
democratic pap to print the news.

der, following an the act of the Wis
consin legislature providing a similar
right to the Wisconsin soldiers, has
set the people in northeastern Ne
braska talking. They are wondering
why the Nebraska legislature is not
convened and the right to vote ex
tended to the Nebraska boys on the
border.
It is retorted here that in? border
soldiers are for Hugnes, and that they
want to get home in time to vote.
Box Butte Needs
Cars in Which to
Ship Out Potatoes
Alliance, Neb., Oct. 20. (Special.)
The potato industry of Box Butte
county will suffer a great injury un
less the car shortage situation is
changed at once. It is reported
through railway circles that no cars
of any kind or description will be
available for a week at least.
After a conference with Superin
tendents Weidenhamer and Young
Secretary Bushnell of the Commercial
club advised all farmers to prepare
everything possible to save the crop
their potatoes for storage and do
at this time. The railroad officials
are apparently doing all within their
power to remedy the situation, but
the nation-wide car shortage will pre-
t!"' he,lp 2T. l'le time.
I he Nebraska Railway commission
has been advised of conditions in the
hope that the potato growers can
protect their wonderful crop by re
ceiving cars at once to ship their po
tatoes. K
Aldrich Talks to
Newman Grove'Men
. i
Newman Grove., Neb., Oct. 20.
(Special.) Tuesday evening ex-Gov
ernor Aldrich delivered an address
to the voters of this locality. It was
an open air meeting.
The first snowstorm of the season
came yesterday. Corn husking has
just begun and the storm is going to
work considerable of a hardship
among farmers.
Since last week when the two extra
passenger trains were taken off, peo-
pie are again struggling along under
the most deplorable train service in
the state, depending upon a freight
train by way of Oakdale for the east
ern mail. This train does not arrive
early enough in the day to bring im
portant mail in time to be of any
value. ' .
