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. A. H.
Jones presided as toastmaster.
