THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, AUGUST 19. 1918.
ALL STARTERS IN
POLITICAL RACE
READY FOR WORD
Democrats at Post and Each
Candidate of Opinion That
He Is One of Sure
-Winners. . -
. x V
From Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Aug. ' 18. (Special.)
With the primary campaign practt
cally closed, speculation . as to the
winners is -about all there is left for
the politicians to discuss. Never be
fore in the history of a primary cam
paign has so much money been spent
for publicity and political advertising
and the result will be watched with
much interest.
Outside of the senatorial campaign
the fight in the democratic party over
the' governorship is of the most in
terest. It is interesting because if
either of the two candidates are
nominated, each one stands accused
of being unfit to become executive
of the state by the charges made by
the opposing candidate.
On the democratia side in the
seaatorship campaign somebody is
liable to disappointment. So far five
of the five candidates are sure of
v nomination according to their own
assertions.
Each One a Winner.
rormer uovernor aioreneaa says ne
, has the nomination without a ques
tion; Attorney General Willis Reed
says that it is as good as won; Dick
Metcalfe has a lead pipe cinch ; Lieu
tenant Governor Howard declares
there is nothing to it but counting the
votes; while "Bill" Price insists that
things have been coming his way so
fast the last two weeks that it is
simply pitiful when one contemplates
the small number of votes the other
fellows will get.
Consequently everybody ought to
be happy for at least two or three
days longer.
On the republican side Chairman
Ed Beach of the republican state com
mittee is not worrying. The republi
cans, according to Beach, don't havt
to worry much this time. As a, gen
eral thing the republican candidates
before the people for their votes at
the primary, he says, are all good
men with clean records and there
should be no worry regarding the
outcome.
Beach, of course, like any other
man, has his choice, but is not letting
it prejudice the strength of the
others. "We are going to get be
hind the men nominated and elect
them if we can," said he yesterday.
Western Nebraska Stockmen
Organization Is Growing
TJhe Association of Western Ne-
bras'ka Stockmen, which was organ
ized last May, is already making its
influence felt in that portion of the
state!,
It 'has grown from a mere handful
to a1 membership of over, 250 in the
two ) months ofits existence. This
memjbership represents practically
ever county in the state west of the
lOOtm meridian, and the association
expJcts to have a membership of 1,000
by fall. .
Tfhe. secretary is now actively en
gaged in digging out the live stock
nlen, listing and classifying them ac
cording to their interests, and pub
lishing this information in a 200-oaee
directory, which will be sent tree to
members and others supplying him
with the necessary information per
taining to their herds.
Besides the directory, the associa
tion has succeeded in getting the
Duroc members together in sufficient
numbers to hold a co-operative boar
sale during the Lincoln county fair
at North Platte this fall.
The object of this association is
not, however, to sponsor any breed,
but to lend its influence to the de
velopment of all. This is but a be
ginning. It will be particularly serv
iceable in discovering and bringing
together breeders of similar stock,
and to work for stockmen's interests
in general.

ENGINEER SAYS HE
WAS COMPELLED TO
GIVE UP HIS RUN
Smith Restored By'Tanlac
After Suffering Fourteen
Years Gains Fifteen
Pounds.
"If I had only known about Tanlac
mnnir T rhiilH have kent on run
ning my engine," said I. Ny Smith of
1026 Q street, Lincoln, recently. Mr.
Smith, before his health gave way,
was a locomotive engineer and ran
out of Lincoln for sixteen years. He
is at present following the carpenter 5
trade and states that he has never
felt finer than he does since taking
Tanlac. ' '
"Before trying Tanlac," tie contin
ued. "I was simolv a nervous and
physical wreck and a more miserable
person couldn't bevfound anywhere.
I had been suffering from catarrh of
the throat and stomach for fourteen
years and I just seemed to be played
out in every way. I had no appetrte
and was so nervous and restless that
I would just toss and roll all night
long. I often had dizzy spells and
simply suffered agony at time,s with
rheumatism, which seemed to affect
my whole body. I lost considerable
weight and finally just had to- give up
engineering on account of my miser
able condition.
"But I am feeling as good as I
ever felt in my life now and not only
that, I have actually gained fifteen
pounds in weight besides, which cer
tainly seems remarkable for one of
my age, as I am now past sixty. My
appetite is so big that I eat like a
wolf and all the symptons of ca
tarrh and stomach troubles are gone.
I am not nervous and dizzy arty more
and my rest every night is fine. In
fact, all my pain and suffering is gone
and I have never felt finer in all my
life, not even when I was a boy.
Tanlac has simply turned things right
about for me and my only regret is
that did not know' about it long
before." -
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by Sher

"Do Your Damndest"
Richard
Metcalfe Throws Down the Gauntlet and Calls Upon 100 Per Cent Americans of All
Parties, Regardless of Birthplace or Descent, to Help
I
N the Nebraska senatorial contest now drawing to a close there
is one big question to be determined. It ia the question:
Is the "pro-German vote" the dominant factor in the democratic
party?
Politicians who oppose me frankly urge democrats who are
anxious 'to nominate the strongest candidate that "the pro-German
vote" will be against me and that my chief opponent could command
that vote even more solidly in November than at the primaries.
It is pointed out, with considerable force, that this "pro-German
vote" has for years exercised control in democratic primaries; and
"don't underestimate the German vote" has been dinned into the
ears of every democrat who is anxious to nominate a winning ticket.
The chairman of the democratic state central committee, a
German-American of great personal, "political and racial influence,
has been drafted for a tour of the state in behalf of my chief op
ponent and in the hope of impressing upon democrats the importance
of nominating for senator a candidate who will not be offensive
to the pernicious "German vote."
On every hand there is such commotion with respect to this
particular influence that a stranger might Imagine that we are
about to select a candidate for the reichstag rather than an American
senator. '
This, then, is the issue: Shall the democratic party in Nebraska
choose its candidate for senator with the view of winning the approval
of the pro-German vote!
Not so greatly different is the issue in the republican primary
where it is proposed to nominate for senator a man who said that for
the United States to go to war with Germany would be to put the dol
lar mark upon the American flag"! It is an open secret that "the German
vote" in the republican party is lined up solidly behind this candidate.
Many politicians are wondering whether Germans who have been
voting with the democrats will go over to the republican primary to
help nominate Mr. Norris or whether some who have been voting with
the republicans will rush to the democratic party in the effort to de
feat me. Opinion seems to be divided as to whether they hate me
more than they love Mr. Norris.
I am writing this without passion or prejudice, but in a frank
way, in order to suggest to republicans and democrats alike the serious
ness of, the situation confronting both parties in Nebraska, and as
Americans we are all concerned in the action of both parties. Personally
I-4el friendly to Mr. Norris. We have been friends for many years,
but personal friendship does not count in he present crisis. If I am
to be the democratic nominee I would prefer (speaking from the political
standpoint) to have Mr. Norris as my opponent. But speaking as an
American who counts neither political advantage nor personal fortune
as of any moment at this time, I hope Mr. Norris will be defeated for
the nomination. s ' s
For obvious reasons it is more difficult to speak frankly with
respect to the democratic situation.
wiai upon tne issue "anau me pro-uerman vote dominate the demo
cratic primary?" Nebraska democrats cannot afford to take an affirm
ative stand. The same applies to he republican party.
Democrats generally would be amazed to know how plainly ob
sessed certain politicians and great editors are with the notion that
it is the duty of the party to cater to the vote which, raqially at least,
represents the foe our boys are fighting "over there." These men can
see no personality other than the Germanno influence other than the
German, and no principle so precious that it should not bend in the
presence of the all-important duty of selecting a candidate who will
be acceptable to German voters. This view is expressed by these men
so frank'y, so bluntly, so persistently that it amounts to an affront
to American sentiment and an insult to American intelligence. .
This is not a primary election in the ordinary sense. It is a con
test to determine whether political parties shall be dominated by men
who are all American, regardless-of their birthplace or descent, or by
men who either hold divided allegiance or in their bearts give all al
legiance to the foe.
In such a contest the personal fortunes of an individual do not
count; personal friendships are shattered and personal enmities fade

From the Saturday Evening Post! In a speech to the secret council at Potsdam in June, 1908, the kaiser, as reported in the New

'TSven now I rule supreme in the United States, where almost one-half of the population is either of German birth or of. German
descent, and where 3,000,000 voters do my bidding at the' presidential elections. No American administration could remain in power against

country. ' -v.
I have never said or done anything to Juatifjt loyal German-'"
Americans in antagonizing me. I do not hold race prejudice. As a "
member of the State Council of Defense I worked very hard to correct t
the viewpoint of men of German blood who had said or done things ,
out of harmony with our country's welfare. I will leave it to any
such men with whom I have had dealings whether I was harsh and yn
kind or whether I tried to be helpful to the individual as, well as to ,
the country '
The worst thing that German-Americans could do for their own.
individual interest is to combine together at this election. Such cqn
bination will Only fan the flames of prejudice, and I have ever been
keenly alive to the importance of protecting men of German 'blood from
injustice.
But -when they do combine, when they organize, as they are or
ganizing in Nebraska today, in the effort to punish me for the service ,
I rendered my country and my state as a member of the State Council
of Defense, then they do not find in me a ciipging candidate for public '
office, anxious to dodge the issue or plead for favor. They find a mil-'
itant American who gives no concern to primary elec'tion results and
no consideration to his personal fortunes.
No man in Nebraska knows better than I do the power of the pro
German influence in this state. As a member of the State Council
I have pleaded with it, argued with it, fought with it. I know what
it has meant in giving embarrassment to the effort to bring about per
fect unity with respect to this war. I know what it has meant in the
spread of German propaganda and in the dissemination of the one
hundred and one Gejrman lies that have been retailed over this coun
try. I know what it means when united at the ballot box uniting the
pro-Germans who deliberately mean mischief to our country and the
good German who thoughtlessly has yielded to the argument of the,
kaiserite. For the very reason that I know its power and its malign in
fluence I am determined to resist it; and I shall resist Jt. I know how
it has brought great newspapers to its side and persuaded or required
them to give it aid and to antagonize those who fall not within its
favor. I face that influence, today without a trace of bitterness in my
heart, but with a determined purpose to fight it to the end. Some poli-
I ticians may cater to it and some editors may fawn at its feet, but as

Here's patience and sympathy with every man of German blood '
who is doing his duty to America patience and sympathy for the
hard road he has had to travel in sundering the ties that held his
heart to the fatherland 1
But to the pro-German who covers his tracks with a Liberty
Bond purchase, gives his heart to the foe and cultivates hatred for those
who are trying to serve America here's the defiance that comes swell
ing from the heart of the father of boys in the service andvthe lover
of all the comrades of those boys. - . y-
"Do your damndest," is the ntessage I send to every pro-German,
in Nebraska; to every editor and to every politician that is playing'
to "the German vote."
I believe that when the smoke of battle shall have cleared away
or defeated I will still be the unxompromising foe, of every influence
or defeated I will still be the uncompromising foe of every influence
that is hostile to this war and to every organization that seeks to em- ,
barrass the efforts of my country and its allies to crush the govern- .
ments that are recognized foes of civilization. In the senate or out
of it I will fight any peace treaty that does not mean that Germany
and Austria shall kneel in the presence of civilization shall return
stolen territory and. liberate all people held unwillingly under their
control. In the senate orut of it I will fight pro-Germanism at nome,
and I will strive for that Americanization of America that will dis--'
solve every clinker , in the melting1 pot and .make our nation what it
ought to be a nation of freemen comprising the blood of the world,
but devoted to one country and one flag the country and flag within
whose presence all civilization isJ kneeling today.
I appeal to every 100 per cent American democrat, republican '
or independent to help me win this fight.
RICHARD L. METCALFE. ,
Chairman Chaanberlain of the mili;
tary committee, is expected tore
new fiis rerjuest for an annulment' ol
the vacation agreementand asl' the
senate to begin consideration of the
man power measure. ' V
Delay in setting aside the vacation
agreement would postpone action on
the man power" legislation untit the
following Monday at least. With tin
national war prohibition measure
having the right of way in the sen
ate at that time under .a previous
agreement, the man power measure
could be considered only during
the early part of each day unless, as
is not improbable, prohibition ad
vocates should consent to temporarily,
sidetrack their measure.
The man power measure will be
taken up tomorrow by the house mili
tary committee, with Secretary Baker,
Generals March and Crowder sched
uled to appear. The prospects are
that the bill will be passed by the
senate before the house is called upon
to-act.
The war revenue bill, revised tip
ward near the $8,000,000,000 goal oli
the Treasury department, is scheduled'
for completion this week by the house
