(Special Telegram.) S. R. McKel

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

sues made a deep impression on his

During his address he saidi

LUTHERANS ASK
INVESTIGATION
INTO SCHOOLS
V
Head of Nebraska Branch of
Missouri Synod Makes a
Statement to Commit
tee at Lincoln.
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.

purpose of our veterans who fought

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.
