THE BEE: OMAHA. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1916 Nebraska ALLEN MAKES HIT . IN LINCOLN SPEECH ' -r-V- Reference to United States and Monroe Doctrine Brings Cheers. WATCHFUL WAITING POLICY (From a 8taff Correiipondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 1. (Special.) The speech of Henry J. Allen, delivered here last night to a crowd which comfortably filled the lower floor of the auditorium, while several people occupied seats in the gallery, was one of the greatest political arguments Vr harH W tUtB nnl .vn(nn ... ....a VAIHIB that of many speakers of national ' reputation. Mr. Allen did not deal very kindly with the president's policy in Mexico and brought round after round of applause ashe showed up his unAmerican attitude both in handling the situation in Mexico and with foreign powers. Monroe Doctrine. Ancu'Arimr elnirnn nf .1.. A Stfar, Mr. Allen called attention to the Miactthat pvprv nrpsirtpnf the TTnttnH (jiiaics naa ever naa witn two or tnree exceptions, had kept us out of war. wmu ttiicuuuii 10 inc lacr mar when Great Britian demanded that the Monroe doctrine should be al lowed rn hp hrnltfn in C,,,tK A,a ica, Graver Cleveland sent word that me united states would protect those countries according to that doctrine -. oiiuiii stilus ui war to enforc it and at a time when tngiand tiad no other complications to cause it to back down, yet it did back down when President Cleveland gave it to understand that while the United States was not looking for war, it would enforce the Monroe doctrine even at the ooint nf a rani non's mouth. T. R, and Germany.. Mr. Allen called attention to the time when Germany also desired to make trouble for a South American country and . President Roosevelt gave ten days to back up. Seven days elapsed and then the German ambassador informed the president that there was not time to do. "You have but three days left to recede from your stand," said Roosevelt, and when the ambassador remonstrated, Mr. Roosevelt told him you have but two days to send word to your coun try, and the result wasviliat Germany receded simply because it knew that the United States would do just ex actly what the president said it would do. i He called attention to the "too proud to fight" policy of President Wilson, saying that when the first ship was sunk by a German sub marine, Mr. Wilson sent word to Ger many that they must not do it again, and then when another was sunk the word went across the water that Ger many would be held responsible if another American life was lost, and when the Lusitania was sunk our president told Germany that they must be more careful, or the United States would hold them accountable, and then another ship was sunk with an American consul on it on his way to his mission and President Wilson still was too proud to fight. Then another and still another ship went down an dthe president sits supinely by and listens not to the afflicted, or appears to care nothing for the honor of being an American citizen and the protection which a country owes to its subjects on land or sea. His review of the Mexican policy of the president and his order of Admiral Mayo out to sea with his vessels when American lives were in danger at Tampico-, gave his hearers an insight into watchful waiting which brought thunders of applause from the entire audience. Peterson Electrifies ; Big Wausa Audience Wausa, Neb., Nov. 1. (Special.) To a large audience at this place to night, C. Petrus Peterson, city attor ney of Lincoln, attacked the demo- vi.uv. siuge, wnson kept us out of war. A large number of Scandina vians were present to listen to the ad dress and the remarks of Mr Peter son were greeted bw applause. 'Mr. Peterson also spoke lin a humorous vein and this portion of his address caused much laughter. ' In part he said: "Democratic campaigns are always conducted on a slogan and the argu ments are built, not upon premises ot tact, but upon the assumption that the slogan is true. The. democrats Io not tell us the meaning of the phrase, 'Wilson has kept us out of war. The reason is, Wilson has been president and we haven't had war, therefore Wilson kept us out same Dasis ot reason ing if the building doesn't bum down before morning, even though there 's a fire in Chicago or New York, the, owner of the building should s-y. Thank God for the janitor, he savd my building from fire when vZl Wt, T Chi8or or New i, Tl,at a fac Allows another lact does not establish the relation of cause and effect." 1 Mr- Peterson emphasized the im portance of the election of John L ate William P. Warner to congress, ami the selectioirof Robert W. Devoe lor attorney general. Victor Wilson Misleading Public on Bank Bill (Prom h Staff CorrcBpomlpnt ) Uicoln Nov. Specia1.)-That V ictor 1- ,lSOI, ,s deliberately mis leading the public when he makes the statement that lie was the author of the bank guaranty law, appears to be a Itc. A recent article in The- Bee showed that Mr. Wilson had no con nection with the law, except to be the author of another that was inde finitely postponed. A very well known member of the joint committee, which was created to draw up the bill stated to The Bee today that the article was correct, in every particular with the excep tion that it did not make it strong "I iust want to say in .answer to the claim by Mr. Wilson that the bill as prepared by the joint committee was a copy o his bill," said the man who happens to be a democrat, "that the only part of his bill that the com mittee could have used was the en acting clause. Mr. Wilson gave notice to the committee that he would fight the bill on the floor of the1 house, and we simply told him to go ahead. As far as Judge Albert's connection with the bill is concerned, the judge acted as our attorney to go over the bill and pass upon its constitutional ity, should it become a law." Mr. Wilson has persitently claimed throughout the campaign that he was the author of the present bank guar anty law, even going teo far as to advertise that he was the author in his advertising scheme, but accord ing to the records and the informa tion given by the member of the com mittee referred to above, he was not even in sympathy with the commit tee's final efforts.

DISCUSSES CAR SHORTAGE , Hastings, Neb., Nov. 1. (Special.) More than a hundred men attended the banquet given by the business men and shippers at the Clarke hotel last night. Addresses were made by Henry T. Clarke, president of the Ne braska State Railway commission; U. G.. Powell and H. G. Taylor, asso ciate members of the commission. It had been planned that Hal V. Minor of Hastings would speak from the local side of the rate question, but Mr. Minor waived his right in favor of Mr. Powell. Chairman Clarke complained that in its ruling raising freight rates in Nebraska the Interstate Commerce commission had violated the mandate of the United States lupreme court and that it had used unwarranted statistics in fixing the rates. The rates, he said, now amount to the "rigid distance tariff," which the most eminent traffic experts in the country have condemned as unfair and impracticable. Principle Wanted. "The principle for which we must fight," declared Mr. Clarke, "is that where a, state fixes a scale, before it can be upset by the Interstate Com merce commission, the latter must prove that the rate fixed by the state is unreasonable." Replying to a question by J. C. Hedge as to why there is a shortage of cars now for the transport of grain, a condition that did not exist in August, when there was more de mand for cars for carrying grain, Mr. Powell said: "While it is true that there is less grain to haul now than there was in August, it is also true that there is more demand for cars for other com modities. On the average 191 cars daily are started from Nebraska towns. It is also true that the rail roads have not kept pace with the growth of commerce in acquiring freight car equipment. Lack of Co-operation Factor. "On the Union Pacific 57 per cent of the freight cars are required to transport coal. In some instances we have found that lack of coopera tion of divisions has been a factor in car shortage. Also, the situation is abnormal. A hearing on car short age will be held Thursday." Hans Hansen askey why freight transportation is slower now than it used to be. Mr. Powell explained that it was due to the increased num ber of trains due to the increased volumne of transport. The Union Pacific now operates twenty-five more traip crews than it did a short time ago. Now the railroads think they are doing well if they move a freight car twenty-eight mile! in a day; formerly thirty-five miles was considered normal. - At a station on the Union Pacific last week the commission met, seven freight trains, and five passenger trains.Il was stated that the North western this season has had less dif ficulty than any other Nebraska road in the matter of grain car shortage. -"Superintendent Bignell of the Bur lington was present during a portion of last night's discussion.
