THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 2!). 1916. 7 D STATE GENERALLY LINESWITH G. 0. P. In Its . Twelve Presidential Campaigns Nebraska Has Mostly Cone Republican. NOTE THE VOTE BY YEARS By A. R. GROH. Nebraska has participated in twelve presidential elections since she be came a state and she cast her vote for the republican candidate in ten of these. The onlv elections in which the majority of this grand old state's vote went tor the democratic aspirant were in 1896 and 11X18, when Bryan, our na tive sonj. carried the state by narrow margins. In 1900 our native demo cratic son lost the vote of his own state. In 1912 Wilson carried the state owing to the temporary rift in the re publican party. But the vote of Taft and Roosevelt together was 17,897 greater than Wilson's vote. Some years the republican candi date's vote was more than twice that for the democratic candidate. Grant's vote was two and a half times as great as Greeley's in 1872, and in 1904 Roosevelt's vote was two and three fourth times as great as that for Parker in Nebraska. Incidentally it is interesting to note how the state has grown, as indicated by the vote cast. In 1868 the votes for the two principal candidates to talled 15,168. In 1912 they totalled 235,91.1. In 1868 Nebraska had three votes in the electoral college. Today it has eight. Here is the way the good people of our g. o. p. state voted for president: 188 U. S.

OATS ADVANCE A LITTLE New top prices were marked up on the Omaha Grain exchange when Xo. 2 hard wheat sold at $1.84; durum. $1.90, and corn, $1.01 per bushel, cash. Although it was the regular Sat urday short session, it was a regular run-away market, the bulge starting at the opening and continuing to the close. Wheat receipts were moderately heavy for a Saturday, sales being made all the way between $1.80 and $1.84, an advance of I' to i cents over Friday. Of this grain there were seventy-six carloads on the market and everything was sold out during the first hour. The sensational advance of the ses sion 'was the price of the durum wheat, selling at 8 cents over any former high price. Corn Brings $1.01. When a dollar was paid for corn during the exchange session Friday, a temporary reaction was looked for, but instead of its coming, prices com menced to climb as soon as the gong sounded and prices rapidly worked up all the way between i cents and $1.01 per bushel. The bulk of the sales were made at $1, or better. A car of Nebraska new corn sold at 96 cents per bushel, the same grade Friday selling for 7 cents less. Oats shared in the advance, but it was less pronounced than on wheat Illlilllilllllll fll!l!!l!ll!lllllil!IIM YOU can save a third of your COAL Bill by keeping the stove, furnace or boiler free from soot.
