IN ALLIANCE IS
WELL RECEIVED

r tion Small.
( Affiance, Neb, Sept. 27. (Spe
jrial.) S. R. McKelvie, republican
Candidate for governon and H. G.
(Taylor, candidate for the railway
commission, addressed a meeting at
the opera house last evening, which
it declared by local republicans to
have been the most successful politi
ea' meeting held in Alliance in six
years. A crowd of between 150 and
200 people was in attendance, and
received the addresses with unusual
enthusiasm.
A feature of the meeting was the
. attendance of a party of 12 farmers,
who drove through 10 or 12 miles of
mud to hear Mr. McKelvie. Prior
to the meeting a dinner was tend
ered the McKelvie party at the Al
liance hotel, which was attended by
50 local citizens, and at which short
addresses were made by the two
candidates. Enthusiasm for Mr. Mc
Kelvie runs high in Alliance and his
visit and address has stimulated his
upporters to renewed activity.
In his address Mr. McKelvie dis
cussed national and state issues very
much after the manner of his
speeches at other points. His point
to the effect that if the peace party
could have accomplished so much
in the last 18 months, the war party
could have achieved a great deal
more, was received with prolonged
applause. The audience exhibited
equal approval when the speaker
challenged the statement of his op
ponent that the election of the re
publican ticket will cause joy and
bonfires in Berlin.
Discuss Potash Industry.
With reference to the potash in
dustry Mr. McKelvie enlarged upon
the statement contained in the re
publican platform, which declares
for development on a basis which
will reserve to the people of the
state the public interest therein. He
said that the great need for this
product prompted the handling of
this industry in such a way as to
encourage the largest possible pro
duction and eliminate speculation in
potash lands through the chan
nels of political favoritism.'
The candidate for governor reiter
ated his statement that the tax bur
dens of the people of the state had
been more than doubled since 1907
and read in support of his claim a
statement from the Nebraska Legis
lative Reference Bureau to the effect
that, "according to the published
statement of the state auditor, the
aggregate appropriations made- by
the legislature of 1907 were $4,367,
257.31, and those of the legislature
of 1917 totaled $9,694,189.04. These
urns include only money raised by
dirtct taxation"
.'Qovernor Neville spoke in Alli
(" ance-last night, but owing to the in
clement weather and the lack of in
terest in his candidacy less than 50
people were in attendance. Mr. Ne
ville spoke but a few minutes. The
attitude of the state administration
toward the potash industry has cre
ated a large amount of dissatisfac
tion in Alliance and vicinity and a
number of prominent democrats
have openly declared their purpose
to vote for Mr. McKelvie and much
of the republican ticket

(Continned From Par One.)
and the Argonne forest was the
scene of desperate contests. The
Germans left masses .of machine
guns and it was against such forma
tions that the Americans were forced
to advance. In the Argonne forest
the fighting often developed into an
almost hand-to-hand character as
the men reverted to the preliminary
principles of warfare and crowded
forward through the dense growth.
It was fighting without artillery,
for the combatants were too close
together to permit the use of guns
arid they were left to fight it out.
They still are in the forest, but re
ports indicated steady progress.
Apparently theirs was a fight
alone, but along the flanks, even to
the north, units of Americans had
advanced steadily, making certain
the eventual withdrawal of the com
paratively small part of the enemy's

lay the general advance.
Tanks in Fight Co-operate.
Tanks again coroperated in the
operations while airplanes con
tributed materially to their success
after the heavy clouds -which fol
lowed the rain of the early morning
had disappeared. Muddy roads hin
dered for some time the bringing up
of artillery, but by noon the guns
were in position. They soon re
versed what had appeared up to that
time to be a slight advantage fof the
Germans. It was evident, however,
that the enemy had recovered suffi
ciently after the first staggering at
tack yesterday to establish his line
along the secondary defenses. These
positions are good and it is expected
that from them the Germans will
offer a stubborn resistance in an
endeavor to at least check the of
fensive. Mopping up the country on the
American left involved stiff fighting
in the region of Charpentry, which
continued until late in the day. The
Germans left strong detachments of
machine gunners flanking the town
and it was considered wise to sup
plement ' the infantry's work with
that of artillery, which was placed
in position at midday.
Routed by Artillery. '
The big jump yestsrday, combined
with rain-soaked roads and the Ger
mans' destruction of. their lines of
communication, interfered with the
movement of artillery. Upon the
arrival of the artillery in positions
near the town the situation slowly
changed, resulting in the with
drawal of such of the Germans as
were able to escape.
Prisoners brought from the
American left gave information in
dicating the Germans are reinforc
ing their line; among them were
troops from two guards divisions,
one more - than hitherto accounted
for.
Paris, Sept. 27. The French
troops in the battle line east of
Rheims made further advances to
day and in the two days' battle have
taken more than 10,000 prisoners
and considerable war material, ac
cording to he official report tonight.
The total advance by the French
has been about five miles at cer
tain points.
"We broke the enemy resistance
on the whole battle front," said the
statement. "On the right we ad
vanced our line a kilometer, cap
turing Bois de l'Echelle and Cernay.
We freed the railway from Chal
terange for four kilometers and
pressed more than two kilometers
northward."
Shields Asks Judgment.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 27. (Special.)
G. W. Shields of Omaha has riled
a motion for judgment on the plead
ing, in the supreme court, in his
ouster proceedings against Commis
sioners Hall and Taylor of the rail
way board. The court will probably
hear it at the next sitting.
Attempts Suicide in Jail.
Wichita, Kan., Sept. 26 Stephen
Shurin, an alleged member of the
Industrial Workers of the World,
and indicted by the federal grand
jury here this week, attempted sui

usual assortment of new gas
ments on which the necessity of
alteration has been eliminated
as far as possible.
