gramsFormer Postmaster General
John Wanamaker has issued a state
ment sharply denouncing the scheme
which has been reported to him,
whereby Wilson campaign managers
had planned to coerce postmasters
into voting for Wilson. Mr. Wana
maker said:
"I have been informed that every
postmaster in every town and city in
every state in the country is to re
ceive a telegram, between now and
Monday, telling him to vote for
Woodrow Wilson. When I was in
the Postoffice department, I would
rather have had my right hand cut off
than to tell a man to vote for any
man for president, because he had a
$1,000 job in the department.
"I am informed, on unimpeachable
authority, that the telegrams have
been filed with both the large tele
graph companies.
"To my mind, it is a crime to at
tempt to intimidate postmasters with
$800 or $1,000 a year jobs, or even the
higher salaried postmasters, to vote
for Mr. Wilson. That office means
that man's bread and butter, and to
intimate to him that if Mr. Wilson is

Temperance Play
By Endeavorers
The temperance play, "At the Court
of Miss Columbia" was given in con
nection with the Christian Endeavor
convention Sunday afternoon at the
First Christian church. The charac
ters included fifteen young girls, all
dressed in white and impersonating
the dry states. Miss Columbia, un
personated by Ruth Bruechert, urged
Uncle Sam to make the United states
dry. Her attendants were Evelyn
Westgate and Isabel Campbell.
Following her plea diplomats from
Russia, Walter Lantlin; Mew Zealand.
George Jennings; "-Germany, Donald
Mahaffey; Oreat Britain, Harold
Boggs; France, Howard Woerner;
Canada, Edward Pleuler; Austria,
Leonard Camp; Sweden, Joe Hiddlis-
ton; Hungary, lheodore Woods; Ice
land, Joe Fhainholpa; New Found-
land, Herrick Yungall,' told Uncle
Sam of the benefits derived from
abstinence.
Uncle Sam upon hearing the evi
dence, told Miss Columbia that he
was but the servant of the people and
could do nothing.
Near the conclusion of the play
Miss Nebraska made a direct appeal
for the people of the state to put her
in the same class as her dry sisters.
She was encouraged by seven other
young girls, dressed to represent those
states voting on prohibition this year.
, A temperance recitation by Mary
Etta Cantannio was well received.
The play concluded with an address
by Rev.JJ'rank Lowe, jr., Columbus,
Mo., on tne frice ot Victory.
First Unitarians Sanction
Their New Church Site
The First Unitarian church congre
gation ratified Sunday the purchase
by its special committee , of the site
for their new church at Turner boule
vard and Harney street.
fending the construction ot the
new edifice, the church will have tem
porary quarters on the ground floor
of the Hamilton block at Twenty-
fourth and rarnam streets, where
Rev. Robert F. Leavens, the new pas
tor, will have his office. There also
will be held the meetings of the trus
tees, the Women's alliance and the
Junior club.

not elected he will lose his office, is
beyond all reason, indecent politics.
When I was postmaster-general, no
such action was ever or would ever
have been tolerated by me. During
my administration, there were about
o7,000 postmasters in the United
States. Now there must be between
90,000 and 100,000. Think of each in
cumbent of a postoffice getting a mes
sage of coercion to vote for Mr. Wil
son and intimating that if he does
not do as ordered he may lose his
office.
"These telegrams, according to my
information, have all been written and
filed with the telegraph companies.
They have, so I have learned, been
distributed by each telegraph company
to a headquarters in every state in
the union and are all to be sent Mon
day. From what I have been able
to learn, the messages are worded
practically alike. I have been unable
to find out, however, whose signature
is attached to these telegrams. If
these messages were sent it must be
with the knowledge of Mr. Wilson,
and if this is the case, the scheme is.
in my opinion, a piece of unclean poli
tics, which I would never have
countenanced as postmaster-general."
ANCIENT POLAND

Once Powerful Kingdom of
Europe Takes Place Anew

TEUTON EMPIRES SPONSORS
Berlin, Nov. .6. (By Wireless to
Sayville.) "Polish provinces occupied
by troops of the central powers," says
the Overseas News agency, "were the
scene today of a great and momentous
historic event. Germany and Austria-
Hungary by joint action proclaimed
Warsaw and Lublin, the kingdom of
Poland, and re-established the right
of the Polish nation to control its own
destinies to live an independent na
tional life and to govern itself by
chosen representatives of the nation.
"A few days ago a Polish delegation
had called upon the imperial chan
cellor. Dr. von Bethmann-noliweg.
Its members were representative
Poles of all classes, all parties, all
ranks of society and all creeds. They
transmitted to the German govern
ment the wishes of the Polish nation
which now have been granted to
them.
"Thus the ancient kingdom of
Poland from which in the past came
famous rulers like the Jagellones (a
dynasty founded by Jagello, which
reigned in Poland from 1386 to 1572),
and glorious soldiers like the great
Sobieski (John III, king of Poland in
1674-1696), is now resurrected.
"The Poles are free from Russian
oppression; no more to be trodden
under the heels of the Cossacks. The
liberty that had been destroyed a cen
tury afo on Russian instigation now
is restored. The rule of the knout has
been abolished, Poland has been
given back to western civilization."
Grain Prices Are
Still Slumping; No
Market Tuesday
There is no grain market Tuesday.
Here, as elsewhere, the grain men
want to take a little whirl in the po
litical game and consequently the ex
change will be closed all election day.
Grain prices continue to slump,
corn being the hardest hit, due to
the reports of enormous yield and
good quality. The Omaha market was
off 14 cents from Saturday, prices
ranging from 8494 cents per bushel.
The receipts for the day were eighty
carloads.
Wheat was 2 cents lower, selling
at $1.621.77 per bushel. Receipts
were iw carloads.
Oats went off a half and sold at
5050-X cents, with forty-one car
loads oh sale.
Weather is to Be Fine for
All to Turn Out to Vote
Weather out in the state is just
about perfection. Temperatures are
running high and not a cloud is vis
ible. Similar conditions maintain all
through the mountains, according to
the reports to the railroads. This is
taken to mean that the weather on
election day in Nebraska will be fine.
Railroad men assert that informa
tion coming to them indicates that
with fair weather and the fall work
pretty well out of the way, the farm
ing sections of the state will poll the
largest vote ever recorded.

Frank C. Best, candidate for re-election
as county commissioner, has ex

NEW YORK HUGHES B
HDNDREDTHOOSAND
President of'Hughei Alliance
Gives His Estimate Based
on Enrollment.
WAGE EARNERS FOR HIM
New York, Nov. 6. (Special Tele
gram.) "New York state will be back
of Charles E. Hughes on November 7
with at least 100,000 majority. Labor
ing men and all other groups of wage
earners are standing by him staunch
ly; 90 per cent of progressive vote of
1912 and from 10 to 12 per cent of
vote cast four years ago for Wilson is
assured him.-.
Such is the prediction of Philip J.
McCook, president of the New York
Hughes alliance.
The fact that there are enrolled in
the New York Hughes alliance 175,000
voteis of all parties, the greatest
groups ever brought together in a
non-partisan movement, justifies Mr.
McCook in (peaking with authority
of the result in this state. Mr. Mc
Cook says:
"Ninety per cent of the progressives
of 1912 will vote for Hughes. Between
10 per cent and 12 per cent of those
who voted for Wilson in 1912, will
vote for Hughes. The drift of the Taft
vote of 1912 to Wilson is inconsider
able. The independents are in very
large numbers for Hughes. The labor
vote will, as usual, be divided and of
it Mr. Hughes will receive at least the
usual share which goes to a repub
lican candidate.
"New York will give at least 100,000
majority for Hughes and I shall be
rather surprised if it is not nearer
150,000.
"The Hughes alliance in this state
now has over 175,000 members. From
a careful analysis of our membership
recently made, the following signifi
cant facts are disclosed: Thirty-eight
per cent or 66,500 are laborers; 31 per
cent, or 54,250 are clerks, salesmen
and buyers.

Youth Hangs Self
In Cell in County
Jail; Tired of Life
Declaring that he was tired of the
way .he had been living and feeling
confident that the future held no hope
of change for him, Chance Jewell, 22
years old, ended his life Saturday
night by hanging himself in a celt
at the county jail, where he was
serving a sixty-day jail sentence for
vagrancy.
Jewell tore a strip of cloth from a
blanket and tied one end to the bars
of his cell and the other to his neck.
Lack of space prevented a quick
death, and from the position he was
found in by Deputy Sheriffs William
Hogan and Joseph Popischal early
Sunday morning, it is thought that
he knelt as in prayer, in order to
strangle himself.
A note, scrawled on a paper bag,
was addressed to his two sisters, who
live at the Rex hotel, Sixteenth and
Cass streets, requested that he be
buried next to his mother, who died
several months ago.
Jewell was arrested Friday by Offi
cer Charles Pipkin, as a suspect in
connection with investigation of
stolen automobiles. Nothing could
be proven against him in this connec
tion, bnt while he was in court, he
was recognited as the youth who
stole a bicycle and sold it for $5.
Police say he had a bad record. He
had been a newsboy, messenger, and
taxi driver around the streets of
Omaha for ten years.

Nehawka Man Says Republican

DEMS HAVEN'T A CHANCE
(From a itaff Corraipondent.)
Lincoln, Nov. 6. (Special.)
Charles E. Hughes will carry Ne
braska by not less than 10,000 ma
jority over Wilson, is the opinion of
E. M. Pollard of Nehawka, who came
to Lincoln today after a campaign
trip through the state.
"I can't see it any other way," said
Mr. Pollard. "There have been
changes on both sides, but when the
swapping has been done, you will find
that it leaves the proposition In just
about the same relative positions as it
was before. In some places there are
some republicant for Wilson, while
in other places there is a decided
going to Hughes on the part of demo
crats. When you take into considera
tion that there can be a loss by Mr.
Hughes of seven or eight republicans
in every precinct in Nebraska, basing
the vote on the rate of four years ago,
and then the republicans win, it can
he readily seen that there has got to
be a real landslide for the democrats
to carry the state for Wilson. .
"Nebraska is normally republican
by at least 15,000 to 18,000, to say the
least, and I fail to see anything in the
situation which would make me be
lieve that Wilson will carry the state."

For the second time during the
last week, the barber shop of John

The recent visit was more of a friend
