SAME MAN AS YEARS AGO Republican Nominee Says That Rights Cease to Be Rights if Not Enforced. DEMO PROMISES UNKEPT New York, Nov. 4. Charles E. Hughes, republican candidate for the. presidency, invading the downtown business section of New York dur ing today,' made five speeches, in which he attacked the Wilson admin istration, declared for the mainte nance of American rights throughout the world and asserted he was "op posed to treating the American busi ness man as a suspicious character." Large crowds of business men and women on their way to and from luncheon today cheered Mr. Hughes at every stop. Mr. Hughes declared he did not want anybody to talk to him about class antagonism in this country, "who does all in his power to stimu late class antagonism." "We'll all prosper together," he added, "or we won't prosper, at all." Mr. Hughes expressed himself as confident of being elected and said that he did not propose to deal with the international situation in an "aca demic" manner. Enemy of Privilege. "I came into public life," declared Mr. Hughes-, "as the enemy of abuses and special privileges. I am just the same man today as when I was gov ernor of New York." Mr. Hughes rested at his hotel this afternoon before reviewing the pa rade which will precede the big mass meeting tonight at Madison Square Garden, where he will make the clos ing speech of his campaign. "Does any one tell us that Ameri' cans need not fear the competition which wilt ensue when the iwar closes.' Mr. tiugnes asked. buch suggestion must be deemed appro' priate only when associated with those who are unintelligent or have failed to carefully observe the trend ot attain "What are we going' fo do about it? What do our opponents say? Why they said, let us be efficient and alert and skillful. We must be effi cient and alert and skillful; we must greatly improve in every direction, but we cannot, in many of our in dustries, hope to compete unless our labor is either protected or the wages ot American labor are reduced. What Confronts America. "That is the proposition before the American working man; before the American business man; before the young man of America. It takes not only America alert, efficient and skillf lik and American resource ful to develop American prosperity. it taKes sound governmental poli cies. , ' "We have, got to have a condition in this country where industry is not dependent upon war orders. You can see today, all through the land, the men who will be laid off from our shops and factories at the close of the war. "I want to see wholesome condi tions in our industry. In a word I want to have a basis for honest en terprise, for prosperity conserved by solemn governmental policies and the American name honored throughout the world." , Greene Quits Rockefeller - Foundation New York, Nov. 4.

WELSH, Meteorologist. The Danes- Come Back Omaha, Nov. 4. To the Editor of The Bee: We notice in the World-Herald that Sophus F. Neble is out with a statement to the effect that the 1.400 voters in 11 Douglas county of Danish birth are going to vote tor Mr. Hitchcock. Mr. Neble is hopeful but prone to overestimate. The Danes are two-thirds republican and only a small per cent of the total sub scribe to Mr. Neble's paper. How, under these circumstances, is he going to deliver? Mr. Neble ridicules a letter sent out by some Danish-born vqtrfo including the undersigned, fava . Kertnedv'3 fiat90? M signed by only six people. We w to say that we did not seek sigv tures at all, nor did we circulate the letter. But we will say that none of the six of us has any children or other relatives who will clamor for state appointments after election. S. A. CORNEER, P. S.-BOIEN, JOHN MATHIESEN. SWEDISH PEOPLE ROUSEDAT FRAUD Letters Using Names of Lead ers Without Authority Cause Indignation. MINCE NO WORDS ON THEM Indignation exceeding that housed by any of the campaign tricks of the Hitchcock crowd to influence voters in his behalf is manifest over the letters sent to Swedish voters and purporting to, contain the endorse ment of leading Swedish men of Ne braska for Hitchcock. Here is what Rev. A. T. Seashore of Wahoo, president of Luther col lege, has to say of the fraud: Branded as Thieves. "Luther College, Wahoo, Neb., Nov. 4. To the Editor of The Bee: I find that a certain American Inde pendence Conference, with headquar ters at Chicago, has .been using my name on its letter-heads as a mem ber of the conference, and this for the intent and purpose to give color and endorsement to their nefarious acts, especially for the endorsement of Hitchcock. "The fact is I do not know any thing about this alleged conference. Never,, until yesterday, did I know the name. I do not belong, nor have I endorsgd Hitchcock. I resent the thoughfof having the names of rep resentative men stolen and used for endorsement of acts for which we never would stand. A conterence that Will do that and a candidate that accepts that deserves no credit. "Since this letter was written in the Swedish language and widely cir culated among our people (I have received two copies) in the eleventh hour, I wish in this way to disclaim any connection with said point; Hav ing stolen my name,' I brand them as thieves. "I am elad to sav that our people are well informed and will not be led I astray so easily, few, it any, ot tne Swedish people will vote for Hitch cock this fall. This I conclude from what, I have heard while I have vis ited ill our Swedish settlements this fall and mingled with! the leading men. But the letter is Receiving and puts our people, our institution, which I represent, and myself in a 'bad light. I do hope that all our people who may read this will hasten to set our people wise before election. Yours for righteousness. A.T. SEASHORE." "A Dirty Hitchcock Deal." The following" letter with caption attached by the writer shows how he viws the matter: "Wausa, Neb., Nov. 3. Editor, Omaha Daily Bee: Perhaps the dirti est deal of the present campaign was the sending out over (he mails to the Swedish speaking voters in Nebraska a circular letter in Swedish, warmly endorsing the candidacy of Senator Hitchcock, which letter is printed on a letter head bearing the heading, The American Independence Conference, and is signed, in print, by said "con ference," with a postscript added bear ing the signature of a supposed doctor in New York City. The letter head also carries the names of a number of Swedish speaking ministers of this state, among them being Rev. A. T. Seashore, president of Luther college, Wahoo, Neb. As Rev. Seashore was known to have publicly endorsed Mr. Kennedy he was called up over the telephone and asked to explain him self. Seashore was dumb-founded at the audacious liberty taken with his name. He declared he was not a member of any such "conference," that he didn't even know of any as sociation by that name and he didn't believe there was any such. He char acterized the deal as, "the devil turned loose barefooted in broad daylight. The letter is dated November 2, and mailed at the Omaha postoffice November 2, but is supposed to have been in New York to get the signature of a Dr. Johannes Hoving. The head quarters ot .the conterence is sup posed to be in Chicago. Yours truly, "J, E. BAGGSTROM." Lack of Brainwork is Cause of the High price of coal is the result of democratic folly and ignorance. Charles A. Westerfield, coal dealer, not only believes this but proves it. He says: "We are paying $4.50 for Illinois coal, the Same brand that we bought last year for $175. And the mines in Illinois are only working one day a week. Why is this condition? Because of the shortage of cars. And why is there a shortage of cars? Be cause the fool policy of the demo crats allow them to be used for stor age. Back iu the cast, there are thou sands of cars laden with grain for ex port. The railroads have charged no demurrage rates on stuff awaiting export. But some of those cars have been standing there for nine months, helping to paralyze shipping facilities in the west and other parts of the RECITE FURTHER HORRIBLE DEEDS V OF VILLA CREW Carranza Soldiers Unspeakably Mutilated by Bandits and Women -,5treated, it 1 V-H VoUTOR KILLED Victims Choose Death When Told to Accept That or Lose Their Ears. CHINESE AND ARABS SLAIN Chihuahua City, Nov. 4. (Via El Paso Junction.) Dr. Fisher, an American physician living at Santa Rosalia, was killed by the Villa nan dits under General Raudelio Uribe, according to the statement of a Mexr can refugee who arrived here from Santa Rosalia late today. Dr. hisher was one of the few Americans known to have been in Santa Rosalia at the time the Villa bandits captured the town. San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 4. General Funston received a report from Gen eral Pershing today on the recent en gagement at Santa Ana between 110 cowboys doing guard duty on the Babricora and Namiquipa ranches and a band of about titty Villa sol diers. The report said several of the bandits we're killed, in addition to those taken prisoner and turned over to the Carranza military authorities at Juarez. Execute Chinese and Arabs. Chihuahua City, Mexico, Nov. 4. Villa mandits m the command of Gen eral Baudelio Uribe executed a num ber of Chinese and Arab residents of Santa- Rosalia on October 26, refu gees arriving from Santa Rosalia overland 'reported here. General Uribe in a speech declared after the capture of the town, accused foreign ers of being enemies of Villa's cause and then ordered the summary exe cutions of the Chinese and Arab resi dents, the refugees added. It is not known whether foreigners of other nationalities were excepted. Given Choice. After capturing the town,' General Uribe gave all prisoners the choice of having their ears severed from their heads or of being executed, the refu gees stated. Many of the prisoners are said by these refugees are said to have accepted death rather than life long mutilation. The town was then looted, the refugees reported, and the women camp followers of the Carranza troops there were mistreated by the bandits, according to eyewitnesses who arrived here. 1 They reported Uribe's command had moved south toward Jimenez and Parral. 1 Captured by Villa. El Paso, Tex., Nov. 4. Government agents here received what they ciaim to be reliable information today .that Sant Rosalia, Parral and Jimine have been taken by Villa bandits. It is not known whether these towns were held by the bandits after their cap ture. American mining men also re ceived what they claim as additional confirmation today of the report that Parral was taken on Tuesday. The government airents claim in have reports showing that General i-uis nerrera moved out of Par he fore the approach of the Villa ban dits and retired to San Francisco Del uro, m the mountains near Parral.

Woman Asks Ten Thousand for Slander Making allegations that Edward Argamian intended to injure her good name by accusing her of having given iaise lesnmony at a Bankruptcy hearing in federal court, Bessie Ad lcr, 2201 Burdctte street, has filed a petition for $10,000 damages for slan der. M iss Adler is a bookkeeper. It is suited in the petition that Argamian made the alleged slanderous remarks in the presence of her father, Jacob Adler, and several other persons on October 10. by Democrats High Price of Coal country. If'a republican administra tion were in power, you can bet that the Interstate Commerce commission or the Railway commission would slap a demurrage charge upon those idle cars and you can also wager that those cars would be promptly un loaded, even if storage sheds had to be specially built for the receipt of their contents. The railroads now aren't allowed to levy demurrage rates on export goods and, under the brain less democrats' administration, the cars stand still when the whole country, especially the west, wants them to move. "I was talking with the agent of the Northwestern railroad today and he told me that out of 5,000 cars owned by the road, only 1,800 were available. He said that. 3.200 were tied up in the east, just laden vvivii export goods." . ' 9 Jm UM'Htf; l ll i v TSr wiv I Jibs 7 Nebraska Do not overlook the fact that Nebraska needs Hughes more than Hughes needs Nebraska. Nebraska's eight electoral votes are of small significant compared with the electoral votes of the big states, but the reputation of, Nebraska as a state in line with the forward looking sections of the country means a great deal more to us than appears on the surface. A ' The republican party is the party of energy, enterprise and progress, built on the keystone arch of New England, New York, Pennsylvania and the states carved out of the old Northwest Territory and the Louisiana Purchase north of the Mason and Dixon line, while the democratic part is controlled by the bourbonism of the solid south and made up of the most backward, the most illiterate, the most reactionary, the least democratic elements of 6ur population, The republican states are the states that do the vast bulk of the country's business, the states that are accumulating the big end of the nation's industrial capital, the states that are developing and utilizing their natural resources, the states that are leading in social justice reforms and in legis lation and Dublic activities for uolifhtine the mass of neoDle. whilo rho unnrhern ntntea are back, in all these vital things. ; In giving its electoral vote to the democratic candidate for president the last two times Nebraska has failed to appre ciate the value of being ranked as a republican state or the detriment it suffers by being placed in the nondescript class along with states like Mississippi, Arkansas and the Caro linas. ... Nebraska can and should redeem itself and strengthen its position at home and abroad by wheeling back this year into the republican column where it rightfully belongs. HEAVY FIGHTING ON EAST FRONTIER Neither Side Appears to Have Made Extensive Gains in Galicia or Roumania. FRENCH ARENA IS QUIET London, Nov. 4. Heavy fighting continues on the battlefields of Gali cia and along the Roumanian fron tier without pronounced gains for either side. In northern France the night was quiet along the French front. Berlin announces French and Brit ish attacks in the Gueudccourt Les Boeufes and Courcelette sectors north of the Somme which were repulsed. The Austro-German forces have made little additional progress in their campaign against Roumania. Berlin announces the capture of position i southwest of l'redcal which the Rou- manians had taken November 2, but concedes the occupation by Rouma nian troops of Rosea height, south east of Altschatu. l'etrograd reports the advance of the Roumanians in the Jiul valley. On the Russian front the Teutonic armies under Prince Leopold of Ba varia have taken some little additional ground from the Russians on the Na Rayuvka southeast of Lembcrg in Ga licia, Berlin announces.

"Of nineteen prohibition states, the democrats have been the power be hind the anti-liquor drive in ten. Jt is wrong to try to associate the 'wet' issue with the idealistic or even prac tical program of the democratic party." Colonel Bryan pleaded for the re election of President Wilson and cited the progressive legislation which had been achieved under his direction. "Wilson was right in his refusal to recognize Hucrta," said the speaker. "It would be a gross betrayal of the fundamental principles of our govern ment to recognize in any country the theory of government by assassin ation." Mr. Bryan recommended the re election of Coiisrressman Lnberk. His entire speech consumed but twenty minutes. A large crowd greeted him. Antelope County Starts Plan to Give Early Election Returns J. T. Fletcher, chairman of the re publican committee, and Arthur T. Galloway, chairman of the democratic committee of Antelope county, have united in an effort to get early re turns from the election of Tuesday. Their plan is a simple one and can well be copied by every county in the state, to the end that the result in Ne braska will be known earlier than ever before. Messrs. Fletcher and Galloway have united in a circular note to elec tion hoards and precinct committee men suggesting that the votes be counted ill a specified order, and that as soon as the count is completed on any group the result be telephoned at once to headquarters at Neligh. By following this plan the Antelope county boosters hope to have their figures in ahead of any other county in the state. The order selected for counting is: to ao v i t ? KAISER ANNOUNCES NEW SEA POLICY i Neutral Cargoes that Might Be Taken Into Kirkwall Will Be Destroyedi ' TOT DEMAND GUARANTEES London, Nov. 4. A 'special dispatch from Amsterdam features a statement of the Berlin Kraut Zeitung to the tffect that Germany has decided to make (he safety of neutral ship car rying neutral cargoes dependent upon guarantees that no part of such car goes shall be landed, whether through British compulsion or not at any Brit ish port. Such guarantees, according to the Kreuz Zeitung, can consist only ' in formal undertakings by Great Brit ain, and such an undertaking will be recognize tire involability of neu tral ships. "'. ' This is taken to mean that In event of any neutral cargo or part thereof being landed in England the German government immediately will cease to recognize the inviolability of neu tral. The Berlin paper implies that the case of the Dutch freighter Bloom ersdijk, which was sunk by a Ger man submarine off Nantucket on Oc tober 8, will be argued along these lines, and it Will be contended since the immediate destination of the ves sel was Kirkwall, there was no guar antee that the whole cargo, would reach Holland. The British press also infers from a Berlin dispatch, summarized in the Keolnische Zeitung, that Germany proposes to sink all neutral ships, whether bearing neutral caraoes or otherwise, unless Great Britain con sents to abandon their right to com pel discharge at Kirkwall of any part of a neutral cargo suspected of hav ing an enemy destination. Rumor of Attempt to Assassinate Hughes; Soman Candle Blows New York, Nov. 4. A renort that an attempt had been made to assassi nate Charles b. Hughes with a bomb as he was leading a republican pa rade here early tonight caused much excitement until it was learned that the explosion which had been heard resulted from the Dremattire dis charge of a romau candle. The man who held the candle was slightly burned, but no one else was hurt. First, prohibitory amendment; sec ond, vote on .president; then follow in order United States senator, gov ernor, congressman, county officers. If this plan were followed in each voting precinct in Nebraska the def inite result could be announced before daylight on Wednesday morning. The plan is legal, it costs no more and takes no more time than the hap hazard way of counting that so fre quently delays the announcement of the final outcome of the election. Co operation by the returning boards and the precinct committeemen can make this a fact as well as a dream. Adams county has already an nounced it expects to be the first county in, just as it stands at the head of the alphabetical order," but Antelope proposes to win the guer don. The lists are open to all, and a little healthy rivalry among the coun ties for this distinction will help a lot. Go to it, everybody.

Pig iron weighing several hundred tons, used for ballast in the German un dersea merchantman Deutschland, was' removed today.
