(Special Telegram.) S. R. McKel vie, republican candidate for govern or, and H. G. Taylor, candidate for railway commissioner, addressed two rousing meetings in this city and ohelton. Their meeting in Grand Island was largely attended and the replies made by Mr. McKelvie to the personal attacks on himself made by the democratic press of the tat and his discussions of war is sues made a deep impression on his aodien.e, During his address he saidi The democrats eem riitorml lo make the war a partisan issue and art attempting to place a stamp of disloyalty upon all those who do not jot the democratic ticket this year. This is a wholly falst issue anil ui!l I feel sure, create a very bad Non union in our country unless the people immediately place their ' dPProval upon it. In other states they have al ready done so and I feel sure that will be their attitude in Nebraska. 1 wo years ago the democrats went lortn to the voters with the slogan: He kept us out of war," and they used that slogan effectively in spite Of the fact that they must have Known that it was inevitable that ur country would be drawn 5nt u. war, and preparations should have een under way at that time for the tart we would be obliged to take "Now they attempt to say that the democrat party is the only one that an prosecute the war vigorously in pite of the fact that two years ago they denominated the republican fh.'.V lhtyr P"" ttbmit A1 ,he demlcrat Party, which was the peace party two years ago, could prosecute the war as vigorous- vV been done in the Past eighteen mouths, it is impossible to comprehend the tremendous results that would be brought about if-ihe war party, as denominated bv the fcaeraocrats, were placed in power. . vui r"san war.

Prom a Staff Correspondent "Lincoln, Sept 17. (Special.) "We invite a most thorough investi gation of the German Lutheran parochial schools of Nebraska," said Rev. Mr. Brommer of Hampton. president of the Nebraska branch of the Missouri synod of that church, in the investigation or hearing which was continued today at Rep resentative hall. Rev. Mr. Brommer told of one instance where a German" Lutheran preacher was talking to his congre gation at Walthill, when a member of the Home Guard company walked into the church in the middle of the discourse and ordered the services stopped "in the name of the presi dent of the United States." Judge W. V. Allen of the com mittee asked if there was anythinsr shown to indicate that the Home Guard man had the authority he appeared to show and was told that there was not. "We did not dare make any objection," said the min ister, because it would only make matters worse." Rev. Brommer said also that he had attended a meeting th Aurora and had been handed a copy of "Truth," a publication gotten out by the national council of defense, but in that publication he had read that the parochial schools of Ne braska were using German entirely and were singing the German an them every day. He said that the statement was false, even if it did come from "Truth'' and that the schools had not sung the German anthem since nor before the war, but were singing the national an them of the United States. County Attorney Cook Releases Nonpartisan Man Fremont, Neb.. Sept. 17. (Special Telegram.) Wait E. Quigley, nonpartisan league representative, was given a clean bill so far as his patriotism is concerned by Attorney J. C. Cook and the complaint of se dition, filed against him following BOSSES MULLEN AND 000CH RULE, SAYSJ'KELVIE Important Public - Questions Now Settled by Big and Lfttle Boss, Says Guber natorial Candidate. fK : inai tma will be the result if the , republicans are U elected this fallis an imputation againsi tne loyalty and integrity of purpose of our veterans who fought m the past wars of this nation, our ... soldters. who are fighting now, and th great number of loyal people throughout the entire land. In matters pertaining to the war. I consider the State Council of De- lease the most important body in our state today. Indeed, I consider ?A of such, great importance, that w I am elected it shall be my pur pose to give freely of my time in the aid and direction of its activi ties. I will urge that its offices be located in the state house, and if necessary will gladly turn aver to it the Urge office of the chief executive in order that it may be conveniently located so that I may keep in constant and immediate touch with it at all times. U Defense Council Important "Regarding its membership, I hay already said in a public state ment that 'so far as my authority goes in the matter of constituting the personnel of that body, I shall select men of known ability, integ rity and lovaltv.' This is no refleo tion upon the council, as it is or Oyianued at the present time, and I present council in its activities dur ing the past year has been actuated by the most patriotic motives, i The only criticism which 1 have to make is that certain individual membtra of the council have, by their associations and activities, per mitted the people to feel that it was bc'ng used for partisan political purposes. Already two of its mem bers have resigned i In ordeV that they might be candidates' for office, and another is engaged in political activities Nvhich subject, the council tn the severest criticism. If 1 am elected I shall do everything in rhyll power to remove the stigma ot partisan politics from the Coup.cil of Defense and this means that I will have to remove from it a mem ber who i now subject to Jliat defi nition. I refer to Mr. Herbert E. Gooch. . 'I know Mr. Gooch personally very well and esteem him as a gentleman and' a friend,, but as one of the bosses of the democrat party ih Crttmcfl of Delense should not be obliged to earry the burden of "his partisan activities. His removal would be only in keeping y ith the thought that the council should be constituted of nien whose political relation are entirely above ques-J tion. ' 1 Increase Tax Burden. 'During the, past six- years the democrat parly' has been in control pf the -state affairs. During that period the tax burdened upon the fiSftU hU tittt UKtsaSed Irom S4.- was dismissed. In a written state ment to County Judge Waldo Win- tersteen, County Attorney J. C. Cook set forth that he is convinced of the Americanism of Mr. Quigley and af ter conferring with officials of the state council of defense, decided, that the league is doing a valuable work for the government in organizing the farmers. , "I find that Instead of being a hindrance to the government that the league has been of invaluable assistance to the United States in spreading patriotic propaganda." Shubert Boy' Electrocuted On Missouri River Bridge Falls City. Neb., Sept. 17. (Spe cial.) Russell Cooksey, 19 years of age. was instantly killed bunday when he climbed the 80-foot tower carrying high tension electric wires from Mound City, Kan., to Rulo, and accidently touched the wire. The tower is on a bridge crossing the Missouri river. His home is at Shubert, and he was a member of a crowd of young people taking an auto ride. The body was taken home. No inquest was deemed advisable by the county attorney, as there were several witnesses to the acci dent. , t Kearney, Nb., Sept. 17. (Special lelegram.) Large crowds greeted S. R. McKelvie, republican candidate tor governor, when he spoke in Kearney and Lexington today. He was accompanied by H. G. 'Jaylor, candidate for railway commissioner, Mr. McKelvie dwelt largely on issues injected into the campaign due to war conditions. He replied ef fectively to personal attacks launched against him by newspapers in the state, lie assured voters that his election would free them from the yoke of big and little bosses and that his door would be open to all comers. "The complaint is being freely made that the present administration is not responsive to the sympathies and wishes ot the people. X his con dition is no different than that which obtains in any boss-ridden state. The democratic party is now dominated by certain bosses who are using tne agencies of the government to lur their own selfish political ambitions. It is common comment that one's speaking appointments, or considera tion of important public questions, must go first to Big Boss Mullin in Omaha or Little Boss Gooch in Lin coln. These srentlemen, in connec tion with the senior senator from Nebraska and their two official democratic naoers. constitute a ma chine which 'is very distasteful even to many members ot the democratic party in Nebrask. "If 1 am elected governor the peo ple may be assured that all subjects devolving upon tne cniei execuuve for treatment will be handled at my own hands and the door will ba open to all comers. "It is the duty ot the state ad ministration, so tar as it is possible, to see that the least possible injury is dealt to industry and business as a result of the war, and everything possible should be done so that the industrial and business activities of the state may be properly co-ordi-natetd. "Honest profits and adequate wag es are essential, but profiteering should be positively prevented. The avenues of trade and commerce should be kept open and should be free from even a suspicion of un fair practices. The central purpose should be to encourage the greatest possible production and the most efficient methods of distribution." Discoverers Find Handicap In Big Rotash Deposit Lincoln, Sept. 17. (Special.) Discoverers of potash deposits in a hill in the potash country near An tioch, which caused so much ex citement, because it was said that a wagon could be backed up to hte hill and the potash loaded with a shovel, are -trot at all enthusiastic. According to these men the hill is. located along the Dank ot a stream, but the 'sand in which the deposit lies is so fine thSt the potash cannot be separated by the usual methods. In any event the deposit is only about 4.6 per cent potash, while the ordinary potash salt is considered not worth work ing unless it contains at least 15 per cent potash.
