"HUGHES SPEAKS
; AT SOLUVAN, IND.
i Republican Candidate Says the
United States Will Maintain
" Its Self -Respect.
! PEOPLE RIGHT IN LONG RUN
' Sullivan, Ind., Nov. 1. Charles .
i Hughes today declared in an open air
; address here that while the United
States does not wish war, it proposes
J to maintain it self-respect. ' The
j American people have realized at this
j time in our history it is very impor-
tant that there should be no question
j of their attitude with respect to the
! maintenance of American rights," Mr.
j Hughes said. "We desire peace, but
j we desire an honorable peace.' We
! do not wish war, but we propose to
! maintain our self-respect. .
"We know perfectly well that there
is no future for the country unless we
; enjoy the friendship of the world.
You evoke only contempt, either si
i lent or expressed, if you do not main
tain firmly and consistently your
j rights. There is no lasting peace
for a decadent people." ,
it Mr. Huehes said that he was sure
I the American people were coming to
i ;their own conclusions with respect to
j the various claims made in the cam-
oaia-n and that in the long run the
; American people do not make mis
stakes. ;
people uenerauy Kignt.
"Nothing is more striking," he
said, "in the course of a political cam
paign in this country than the way in
which the American people gradually
form the judgment. We have at the
outset many confusing voices, and in
the course of the campaign there are
many extravagant claims nut forward,
j but the American people recognize as
tne campaign progresses tne dominant
issues that concern their welfare. You
can be sure that in the long run the
American people do not make a mis
take witn respect to wnat. is neces
sary to their orosoeritv and the fu-
; ture of the country. ,
i "I. have felt in theses days a. grow
ls' ing sentiment. There has been a very
ft perceptible current of opinion and It
I' givey me an assurance that the Amer-
1 lean people nave been sitting the va
! rious claims which have been made,
J and have been coming ,to their own
; conclusions. They know perfectly
" well that we are now in a very unsat
' isfactory condition. It is not in my
heart to talk to you in a narrow, par
1 tisan way. As I understand myself, I
. am nere- anxious to serve tne wnoie
)' people of the United States, and what
I have to say is just as important to
! : the interest! .of democrats as repub
. licani. 1
"The American people are realis
3; ing, and I believe are coming swiftly
J. to a judgment that this country will
!, need a basis of prosperity that is not
to be found in a European war. We
, know perfectly well that at this time
we arc in a very unhealthy condition.
: You are interested my largely in
j; farming. When I-was governor of
"New York here was nothing to
!; which I gave greater attention than,.
'. to the development of our agricultural
activities, and if I am elected I pro
pose to do all in my power 1 to pro
mote the interest! of agriculture.
, "It is perfectly idle, however, for
anybody to say that he is a friend of
the development of agriculture in this
country wtien he framed' an Under
wood bill, -which puts most' of our
agriculture products on a free list, or
on such a low rate of duty as not to
furnish our farmers with the protec
tion to which they are entitled. We
have got to have a basis in this coun
try for the development which they
need."

Twenty-four members of the Polish
Citizens' club, twelve of whom are

JOHN COPELAND IS
ACQUITTED BY JURY
Alleged Murderer of William
Black Found Not Guilty
After Eighty Hours.
TWO OTHER MEN ACCUSED
.Galvestosi, Tex., Nov. 1. John
Copcland, 'charged with the killing of
William Black, an anti-Catholic lec
turer, was found not guilty by a jury
in the district court here early today.
.The jury reported lifter deliberating
eighty-four hours. Black was killed at
Marshall, lex., February i, 1915.
Twice during their deliberations the
jurors had reported to Judge Clay
Stone Briggs that they could not
reach a verdict, and each time had
been sent back.
Copcland received the verdict with
a smile -and turned to his wife and
little daughter. The three shook hands
with the jurors and thanked them.
Black was killed in a hotel at Mar
shall while Copeland, who was a bank
cashier at that pice, and other men
were calling on him in his room to
ask him to cease his lectures in Mar
shall. Whether the state will insist upon
a trial of the cases of George Ryan
and George Tier, both of whom are
also charged with murder in connec
tion with the killing of Black, will
probably not be known until the De
cember term of court.

Reports from Bucharest and
Berlin Claim Important Vic
tories for Each Side.
INTENSIVE FIGHTS IN WEST
London, Nov. I. Important suc
cesses for .both the Teutonic and
Roumanian armies are claimed in to
day's dispatches relative to the fight
ing along the Roumanian Transylva
nian frontier. ,
Official Berlin announces an Aus-tro-German
victory southwest of
Kronstadt, where Roumanian posi
tions west of the Predeal road have
been captured.
Southeast of ' Rothenthurm pass,
also, General von Falkenhayn's troops
report progress.
Reports of Roumanian success is
based on a Bucharest dispatch re
ceived in Rome. It declares the Aus-tro-German
forces have retired from
the region of Campulung. in northern
Roumania, pursued over the frontier
by Roumanian troops, which wiped
out four hostile battalions.
Further Russian attacks on the
troops of Prince Leopold, defending
fthe approaches to Lemberg, have
been repulsed, Berlin declares.
Intensive Fighting in West
On the Somuie front there, has
been a renewal of intensive fighting.
The French again exerted pressure
near the point of the entente wedge
into the German lines between Sailly
Sailliscl and Les Bocufs, advancing
last night, according to Paris, in the
vicinity of the last-named place. Ber
lin records the failure of British at
tempts to advance along the mile and
a half line running northwest from
Les Boeufs to Cueudecourt and at
Courcelette.
The Germans were on the offensive
at Sailly-Saillisel, but Paris reports
they were defeated there in a violent
engagement. ,
Battles on Struma.
In Macedonia, on the Struma front,
northeast of Saloniki, British troops
have pushed further into the Bulga
rian lines, capturing the village of
Barakli-Azuma, according to Paris to
day. Three, hundrej prisoners were
taken by the British.
Doctors For Hughes by
An Enormoiis Majority
Hughes won by a large majority in
a straw vote taken the German
home Tuesday evening, when the
alumni of the University of Nebraska
medical school met for a social eve
ning. A straw vote was taken, which
gave Hughes 44 votes to 27 for' Wilson.
Jefferis Makes
Speech to Crowd
At Logan Rally
Logan, la., Oct. 31. (Special Tele
gram.) Logan had a regular old
time republican rally here tonight,
when a torchlight procession with
red fire and many torches preceded
the speech of A. W. Jefferis of
Omaha, before 'a crowd which taxed
the capacity of the largest building
in town.
Mr, Jefferis talked for two hours
on national politics and was applaud
ed throughout. He showed up the
weakness of the Wilson administra
tion, and paid splendid tribute to
Charles Evans Hughes. Chairman
Blackburn of the republican com
mittee, reports Harrison county to be
lined up in fine shape for the entire
ticket. . .- - I
