HAPPENINGS IN
THE JAGIC CITY
Campaign Goes Along Merrily,
With Democrat Meetings
Poorly Attended.
STUDENTS TAKE INTEREST
The last week of the campaign finds
the South Side in no particular excite
ment unless the chagrin or exaspera
tion of a few democratic managers is
considered. Democrats held three
meetings of unsuccessful nature. The
attendance at all three was very small.
At the stock yards a poll was taken
by a democrat Saturday morning
which showed a plurality for Kennedy
and Sutton.
Both the Hughes and Fairbanks
club and the South Side Republican
club will be active this week. Nightly
street meetings are planned, with
speakers of local and state prom
inence. Sweet Shop Girls Lose.
The A. B. Sweet shop girls invaded
the South Side after a season's leave
Saturday evening and suffered a de
feat at the hands of Oarlow s ret
Colts at the Brunswick alleys. John
ny Devine, probably the most consist
tent bowler among the younger heav
ers of the wooden sphere, held up the
alley shark's end and bowled a high
score of oZ9. f
Laura Bruch, as usual, was the high
point gainer for the Sweet Shop quin
tet, totaling 512 in three games. The
scores:

in class rooms presided over by Miss
Celia Chase, head of the department
of history.
An election will be held on Novem
ber 7, the ballot to contain the names
of the national, state and county can

leaders placed in charge. A raid was
made bv the republican forces on the
headquarters of the Young Men's
Hughes and Fairbanks club last even
ing and a number of Hughes pins and
a Quantity ot campaign literature tak

"My Conception of the Presidency"
By CHARLES EVANS HUGHES
One the eve of election day the American people
are entitled to a summary of the things I have stood
for in this campaign, as they are the things I shall
stand for as president.
No man can tell in advance what unexpected de
mands the next four years may present, but one whose
conception of the president's duty rests upon funda
mental principles can described with entire sincerity
how the problems of administration would be ap
proached and in what spirit they would be solved.
A man charged with the duty of reaching a desired
goal knows that the road to it is found in following
that path which sound judgment and clear vision open
up step by step. I can show the road I expect to travel.
I propose first of all to start right. The president
is primarily an executive. It is his supreme duty to
attend to the business of the nation, to safeguard it
interests, to anticipate its needs, to enforce its laws.
The first act of a president who takes this view
of his duties is to call about him the ablest cabinet
the country can furnish, men who can deal with the
tremendous international and domestic problems which
will confront us in the next four years.
My conception of the presidency differs absolutely
from that of Mr. Wilson. I look upon the president
as the administrative head of the government. He
looks upon the president as primarily the political
leader and lawmaker of the nation.
In the two departments of government most closely
touching our foreign relations the Department of
State and the Department of the Navy he choose
men whom he knew to be wholly unequal to their duties.
Administrative obligations was subordinated to politi
cal exigency. I can assure the country that any ad
ministration under my direction will stand upon sound
administrative ground with the ablest cabinet the
country can supply.
Across the road we are to travel this next four
years, even though we start right and move with
prudence and courage, serious hazards are thrown
like breaks in a roadway made by a torrential rain.
These all rise out of the war torrent which has over
whelmed Europe. The first has to do with our foreign
relations. It is the president's duty to safeguard the
interests of our own nation and to preserve the friend
ship of every other nation.
No man is more determined than I to maintain
the peace which the United States. Spain, Sweden.
Norway and all the American republics now enjoy. But
I should seek to maintain that peace by a firm and
courteous insistence on the rights of our citizens at
home and broad.
An American in Mexico is subject to Mexican
law, but he is an American still and is entitled to the
protection of his own government in his lawful busi
ness. For one I shall never consent to a policy which
leaves Americans helpless against the lawlessness of
any country in which they have a right to do business.
There confronts labor in the next four years a
condition more serious than any that American laboring
men have been called upon to face. When this war
began over a million American working men were seek
ing vainly for employment. When the war ends and
the developed energies of a new Europe are thrown
into commercial production, our nation will face a
competition such as it never knew.
One of two things must happen either millions
of men will be seeking work in vain or else there
must be thought out in advance the problem of com
mercial organization as France and England and Ger
many are seeking to think out the problem today. Every
one of these nations is preparing to defend its own
market by a protective tariff. The end of the war
will end also the opportunities for labor created by
the war. The millions in the trenches today will be
our industrial competitors tomorrow. If we are to
save our laboring men from a catastrophe we must
plan a tariff protection along sound, just and economic
fines. To this endeavor 1 pledge myself and the men
who are to be my colleagues.
In this matter again I differ absolutely from the
policy of the present administration. Democratic plat
forms have declared that the government has ' no
right to levy tariff duties except for income. This
is the fundamental faith of the democratic party.
1 pledge myself and those who stand with me to
deal with the needs of laboring men the country over,
whatever their trade or organization, upon the princi
ple of giving the largest protection possible to every
American working man and the largest participation
possible in the prosperity of our industries with special
favors to none.
Finally it is to be remembered that every European
government is putting itself behind its industries;
organizing them, encouraging them and suggesting
economies. When the commercial struggle begins
anew, the industries of every European country will go
into the world markets, backed by the effective co
operation and intelligent oversight of their govern
ment. Our national( policy requires that government main
tain a strict supervision of business organization. This
can be done effectively and yet leave the government
free to encourage legitimate and wholesome business
enterprise. I stand for such supervision and control
of business, but I demand also that business, great and
small, (and especially the small business) be treated
fairly and justly. Only under such conditions can
business pay living wages or compete with foreign
manufacturers.
In this respect again the present administration
holds a policy entirely opposite. It has viewed busi
ness enterprises with suspicion and has made the gov
ernment a brake to stop the wheels of legitimate in
dustrial progress. It has treated the business men of
this country as though they were suspicious characters.
It has assumed that capital and labor are natural ene
mies. In four years it has put this country further
on the road to class war than has been accomplished
in a generation before. The menwho stand with me
believe in the honesty of the American working man,
they believe no less in the honesty of the American
business man, and they believe that the common good
is to be found not in class war, but in mutual justice
and fair dealing, not as between capital and labor in
the abstract, but as between men and men.
You know the road we have traveled this last
four years. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Daniels are its monu
ments of executive efficiency. Our murdered and for
saken citizens in Mexico reveal a conception of Ameri
can citizenship plain enough to see, but a new one for
American patriotism to adopt; the monument of class
bitterness raised by this administration throws a sinister
shadow across our political horizon; the unjust ac
cusation against business men has left a bitter taste
in our national life. If you prefer this path it is
plainly marked.. And the end of it is class war.
You ask what road I propose to travel? These
are" the milestones which mark it an executive re
sponsibility to the whole nation, a cabinet chosen from
the ablest Americans, a foreign policy that stands cour
teously but firmly for American rights, a flag that pro
tects the American in his lawful rights wherever his
legitimate business may take him, a preparation for
trade competition which shall protect all groups of
American workmen, a government oversight of busi
ness which will fearlessly eliminate abuses, but will
act on t,he assumption that the average business man
is honest, and finally a domestic policy which looks
to industrial peace, and to sound and permanent pros
perity based upon the development of American trade
and the building up of American industries.
We Americans are in one boat. You cannot strike
a blow at one group without injury to all. Common
justice and fair play will settle our difficulties if sus
picion and bitterness are let alone. These are the prin
ciples by which I propose o be guided.
RESCUES PART OF

Hughes Leads in
Straw Vote Taken
By Big Drug Firm
Extra I Hughes elected 1
Calm yourself. It is only a straw
vote, but Charles R. Sherman (demo
crat) declares it is the first compre
hensive straw vote yet attempted and
executed.
Mr. Sherman's show windows at
Sixteenth and Dodge streets are
crowded all day with political fans
scanning the returns which now show
that Hughes is in the lead.
Louis K. Liggett, head of the
United Drug company, controlling
8,000 agencies throughout the states,
arranged a straw vote covering all of
these stores from ocean to ocean. The
returns were mailed and tabulated and
the tabulations sent back to all of
the drug stores.
This straw vote includes 135 points
in Nebraska and 300 in Iowa, and
the same proportion throughout the
country. It is believed to be the most
representative of any straw vote ever
taken.
Mr, Liggett, who handled this big
task, is a prominent Boston business
man and mentioned in connection
with the next governorship of Massachusetts.
Land of Ukelele Cursed
By Monotonous Weather
"Seasonal weather, even sudden sleet
storms, are blessings for Nebraskans,
according to W. A. Smith, vice presi
dent of the street railway company,
who, with Mrs. Smith, spent the re
cent month in Hawaii. The land of
the ukelele furnished a good time for
the Omahans, but the monotony of
the weather (it was always about 75
degrees) grew irksome.
Hawaiian farmers have the best of
Nebraska's rural citizens in the ma
turing of crops. Pineapples and sugar
cane ripen every month down in the
semi-tropics. Canneries and mills run
ten months of the year, closing eight
weeks for repairs.
To Start New Station at
Grand Island Next Month
Plans for the Union Pacific new
passenger station in Grand Islandn
have been completed and it is antici'
pated that work on the construction
of the structure will begin next
month, continuing so long as the
weather Will permit of brick laying.
The new station in Grand Island
will be of pressed brick construction
two stories high, ninety-four feet wide
and 150 feet long. The first floor
will be used for depot purposes and
the second story for railroad offices.
There will be a large restaurant on
the first floor.
Spiritual Vision
Is Life's Essence
A man might as well be one of the
blind fish in the Mammoth cave of
Kentucky as to be without spiritual
eyesight, a sight of the mind and soul,
according to Rev. Robert French
Leavens, newly installed pastor of the
First Unitarian church, who spoke to
a large congregation Sunday morning
at rwentv-eiRhth and rarnam streets
"Though Milton lost his eyesight,
as a poet and seer he had a wealth of
vision,' said the speaker. "Fulton,
Morse, Bell, Vail and Hill capitalized
their vision. It was vision that trans
formed the American desert into
fruitful farms and gardens. The
power of vision is needed just as
much in things moral and spiritual, in
the development of that which is es
thetic, social and religious. Prayer
is the means of unfolding and correct
ins such vision. The worst kind of
a rave 'is Dreiudice and orthodoxy.
Satisfaction with and support of an
established order is blinding.
