PEOPLE TO DO THE VOTING

A negro, incensed by white men who
chidcd him for "hogging" standing
room in a Thirteenth street car last
night, whipped out a razor when the
car reached Thirteenth and Harney
and slashed Norman Ghyst, bartender
at the Musicians' club, who lives at
1410 Chicago, across the face. - Police
Surgeon Orris Myers took fourteen
stitches in the wound to close it.
Ghyst was accompanied by Dr. B.

Well, folks, it's all over but the
shouting. ,
The campaign of 1916 practically
came to a close in Omaha and else
where last night.
The republicans and the democrats,
the "drys" and the "wets," have pre
sented their several causes to the
people with eloquence and vocifer-
ousness.
The people will now retire to their
homes and offices and shops and give
the matter deliberate consideration.
And on next Tuesday they will go to
the polls and cast their ballots, exer
cise their franchises. In plain words,
they will vote.
V A great night was last night. Beau
tifully balmy and calm was the weath-

lasted late, from the big Bryan
meeting the street crowds ranged
down to little groups where impromp
tu debates were staged.
Debates Wax Warm.
Ah, friends, if harsh words could
kill, our population would be sadly
depleted today. In this home and
fireside daily we would never, never
print the epithets which usually-re
spectable citizens called each other
in the heat of political debate last
night.
A tall, thin, gray-haired man was
speaking from an automobile at Four
teenth and 1' amain streets, when
short, fat man demanded to know

was a bum, and the s. f. man invited
him to step down from the automo
bile and call him that, whereupon the
t. t. g.-h. man laughed, ha-ha-ha, just
like that, and directed his words, as
soon as he could be heard, to the
other side of the automobile. "I want
to speak to men, not hoodlums like
these folks on the other side," he
said, with dignity.
All Ends Well.
The same thing happened in other
forms at other street meetings. And
et it be recorded to the credit and
leveHieadedness of us Omaha . and
Nebraska and United States Nneoole I
that tne trouDle always ended up in
gooa-natwedness.
The only kind of shooting was
"shooting off" of mouths. The only
kind of daggers used were the daggers
that they "looked" at each other. The
only poison gas used was verbal cas.
At one meeting two men in the front
line trenches, after shooting at each
other for ten minutes, finally got so
well acquainted that they shook hands
and each agreed that the other was
a good fellow, except for his politics.

But, many are the hearts that are
anxious today waiting 'for the votes
to be counted. Not a few faithful

Two Men Are Held

Two men, describing themselves as

Hutchinson, Kansas City, are being

watch and $40.

The Democrats Pledged Themselves to Reduce
the Cost of Living But Living Expenses
Are Now the Highest on Record
The following; i$ a plank from their Platform vf 1912
CTHE HIGH COST OF LIVING is a serious
1 problem in every American home. The Repub
lican Party, in its platform, attempts to escape from "
responsibility for present conditions by denying that
they are due to a protective tariff.
"We take issue with them on this subject, and
charge that excessive prices result in a large measure
from the. high-tariff laws enacted and maintained by
the Republican Party and from trusts and commercial
conspiracies fostered and encouraged by such laws,
and we assert that no substantial relief can be secured
for the people until import duties on the necessaries of
life are materially reduced and these criminal conspir
acies broken up."

If it is true, as Mr. Wilson claims, that our present prosperity
is not due to the war, then the high cost of living is not due
to the war. r
, The Democratic Party cannot claim the credit for one with
out assuming the responsibility for the other.
