8 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 5, 1916. NEW YORK SAFE FOR .HUGHES! RECORD Votes Cast and Registry Give Republicans Great Confi dence of Carrying State. FIGURES SUPPORT CLAIM ' N'txv York. Xov. 4. (Special Tele gram.) N'ew York s:ate ,s republican tins j'ear by at least 50.000. according to an analysis of the political situation here by Frederick C Tanner, chair man of the republican state commit tee. Thi means forty-five sure elec toral votes for Hughes. "The total vote in this s'ate will in nil probability exceed 1 .600.000. as it his in the last three presidential years." said Mr. Tanner. "No candi date on the democratic ticket in this state has ever received more than "50.000 votes. Xo republican candi date for president or governor in any of the last three presidential years has received in this state less than 800.000 votes, except in 1912, when the republican vote was divided between the republican and progressive candi dates. The vote is not so divided this year, most of the voters who were progressives four years ago have re turned to the republican party, and those who continue to maintain a separate party have endorsed the re publican candidates for president and governor. "The democrat vote has been falling off since 1908 in Xew York state. In that year the democratic vote for gov ernor was 735.189. in 1910 it was 689, 700. in 1912, 649,559. "In 1914 the highest candidate on the democratic ticket receivtd 646,401 and in 1915 the' total democratic vote for members of the assembly was 595.359. "In 1912 tljc republican vote for governor was 444,105, in 1914 it was 586,701 and in 1915 the total repub lican vote for members of the assem hlv 700 ?V "The republican enrollment for this year increased nearly 100,(1 W. while the democratic enrollment fell off. The republican enrollment for 1915-16 was 729,710, as compared with 636,405 for the preceding year, while the dem ocratic enrollment was 651,231, as compared with 655,047. All the heavy gains in registration this year have been recorded from republican dis tricts. In Manhattan, Tammany's stronghold, the registration fell off. . i "The steady falling off in the demo cratic vote, and the rapid increase in the republican vote, the falling off in the democratic enrollment, and the marked republican gain, and finally the falling off of registration in the strongest democratic territory and the - heavy gains in republican sections, to gether with the results of the actual canvass that has been made in every county, indicate beyond the shadow of a doubt the success of the entire re publican ticket, state and national." False Arrest Leads ' To Suit for $28,775 . Maurice Lonergan has filed suit with the clerk of the district court asking damages to the amount of $28,775 from the Burlington railroad. False arrest is alleged. , Omaha Business Men Who Have Been Associated Nearly Fifty Years ;-v,:';... : ' h r ''X r )j I yu i 1 lrU3 a CCBeldep Henry A. Thompson and Charles C. Belden are this week celebrating their thirtieth anniversary of busi ness in Omaha, although their busi ness partnersiip dates back nearly a half century. The firm of Thompson & Belden opened their first store in Omaha in 1886, on the site of the Woodmen of the World building. Their next location was where the Brandeis store is now, from whence they moved to the present site at btxteentn and Howard. Congratulations are pouring in from all parts of the country to Mr. ThomDson and Mr. Belden. Em- oloves of many years standing are celebrating the "birthday" of the store as well. Fitch Has Not Withdrawn From the Judgeship Race It has been erroneously published that Attorney F. W. Fitch has with drawn his name as a candidate for municipal judge. F. W. Fitch is a candidate for district judge, and never was a candidate for municipal' judge, and . he has .not withdrawn. This error seems to have accrued by some mistake in the office of Harley Moor head over a communication which was sent in by one "David Fitch." The district ludtces have nothing what ever to do, and no connection, with the office of Harley Moorhead, the election commissioner, excepting when it comes to counting the votes.

FOURTEEN MAKE TALKS Fourtec.i Douglas county repub lican candidates for state senators and representatives took luncheon as the guests of. the Commercial club at noon, and each candidate, addressed the club members in a two-minute talk on state issues. A Randall K. Brown, chairman of the I club s executive committee; presided, introducing the speakers in order of their position at the table, going di rectly around the -table with his introductions. Dr. G. R. Voung, candidate for member of the house, declared he wished to legislate to clean up the live stock situation in Nebraska and to improve sanitary conditions for live stock, thus improving the herds in general. bam O. Hon, candidate for the house, reviewed his past record in the house and declared that if he looked as good to the club members as the members looked to him he was sure they would all vote for him. Don't Want Tax Eaters. Senator John M. McFarland, candi date for the senate, said: "You men are alt taxpayers, and you want to elect men to the legislature who know how to conserve the interests of .he taxpayers. Too often, when men are elected to the legislature, they become tax eaters. Our platform shows that we are for the best inter ests of Omaha and the community." James Walsh, candidate for the house, said he had lived here forty three years and was a member of the 1907 legislature, the one he said which still bears the reputation of having brought forth the most reform legis lation in the history of the state. "If this ren'iblican delegation is elected this fall," he said, "the legislature will be a repetition of the 1M)7 record for reform legislation." John Larson, candidate for the house, thanked the club for its sup port of him when be ran two years and assured tlicni that if elected this time he would not be any more radical than he had been during the last session, and that at that time he stood only for the reform measures, the elimination of the sheriff fee-grab, the consolidation of Greater Omaha, and other reform and progressive measures. Omaha First. Bert C. Miner, candidate for the senate, declared if elected lie 'would work for the best interest? first of Omaha, rh-n of Doujjbs county, and then of the state. Nels A. Lundgren, candidate for the House, said: "Two years ago f prom ised to work for Omaha and Douglas county. I did so, 'and 1 now appeal to you for your votes for re-election. II elected I will use every effort to im prove what 1 did two years ago." P, J. Trainor gave his own record as public official down to mayor of South Omaha, and appealed for sup port to put him in the ho;e. Dr. Harry A. Foster assured the club men he was on the ticket, and said: "If you feel like endorsing what the party has done in the legislate" I'd like to have your support." j J. Frank Burgess, candidate for member of the house, said he had voted for a county workhouse, the municipal right bill, good roads, prison reform and anti-sheriff fee grab, and he wished to go before the voters on that record. Wants to Be Ee-Elected. Senator C. L. Saunders said: "It is hardly necessary for me to stand be fore my own club and tell the mem bers what I will do. If you are satis fied with what I did, I'd like to be re elected. I would not like to be re turned to the legislature, however, un less with a delegation like this, for if the delegation is divided it is not efficient." Harry HJickett, candidate for the senate, told of his personal hobbies in the city to provide playgrounds for the kiddies, and declared himself for good roads and everything for the good of Omaha and the county. John W. Cooper declared capital and labor to be twin brothers, and declared it the duty of the legislature not to enact legislation detrimental to either. "We should do nothing to drive capital out of the state," he said, "and should do everything to bring it within its borders." Robert C Druesedow said- "I served you faithfully during the last two ses sions and I am proud of my record. 1 1 stand on the record I made there. I will go to the legislature, if 1 go, not to destroy any man's business, but to help build it up."- Chames 60.000 l!earoS I Have Come to the North I Washington, Nov. 4.

Their sworn state ment denies it. We call upon the County Attorney to prosecute the Brewers and their suborned agents for perjury. The Brewers are afraid to let the people know that they have contributed money to pay for this csmpaign. They have filed no statement showing the enormous corruption fund which they have contributed to suborn newspapers, register fraudulent votes, colonise voters and steal the election. The people know this and the next legislature will show it up. THE BREWERS contracted with about 600 weekly newspapers in Nebraska at an average of $76 per paper, total $37,600.00.
