fELLS JSHCOCK X w Aw. 'S cfFFRAGEVOTE ican Candidate for Gov ernor Scores Democratic Senator for His "Sup port" of President. Fairbury, Neb., Oct. 4. (Special.) S. K. McKelvie, republican can didate for governor, last night "de livered an address here before an enthusiastic crowd. He said in part: "The democrats in Nebraska and : the nation have been trying for two years to convince the voters that in order to stand back of President Wilson and support him we had to vote for only democrats from the highest to the lowest office on the ticket. Two years ago in Nebraska this seems to have won and Hitch cock and Neville were elected. The same argument has been raised this year by Governor Neville, the World-Herald, Gooch's Lincoln Star and democrats generally. "This illogical argument of the democrats was answered for all time last Tuesday by a record vote in the United States senate on the suf frage constitutional amendment. President Wilson hnd come before the senate and urged in the strong--'- est possible terms the passage of the measure as an essential war measure. "He said: 'I tell you plainly, as commander-in-chief of our armies and of the gallant men in our fleets . that the measure which I . urge upon you is vital to the win ning of the war and to the energies alike of preparation and of battle.' "On the roll call of this measure, passage of which the president had thus urged, we find 27 out of 37 re publicans voted with the president, about three out of the four, while only 21 out of 47 democrats vot ed with the president, only two out of five. "There were only 30 senators op- posed to the measure after the de mand of the president for its pas sage and 21 of these were democrats, . or seven out of 10 were democrats, and the democratic senator of this State was one of th.em. "He is the man, as owner of the World-Herald, who has been trying to convince the voters of this state that the only way to stand by the president and help win the war is to support the lieutenants who are . candidates for office on the demo cratic ticket. The democrats now will have to find a new issue. By their own votes they have forever settled the question of who is supportfng the president." Kearney State Norma! Will Be Used to Train A. T. C.

"The only way to make a Hun feel friendly is to knock him out," continued Col. Roosevelt. "Don't hit a man soft, because he will come bade and hit you hard. When you hit, hit a blow that will knock him clear out. "That is what we will do to Ger many now is the time to subscribe for bonds. Put them through for the future of the good old U. S. A. Put this war through right, so no other nation will look cross-eyed at us. "Some people used to ask why our boys had to go over there. They probably realize by this time that it is simply done sojhat we will not have to 'fight over here. "It is not food, money or Red Cross that will win the war, but it is the men at the -front. Grab your gun and go. All the rest we are do ing is supplementary." Colonel Roosevelt said suffrage should be given to those entitled to it. He said service, not sex was the consideration. The work this district is doing in support of the War by producing over 75 per. cent of the potash used in the United States was praised by Colonel Roosevelt. In concluding, Colonel Roosevelt said he is willing to shake a man's hand, no matter where. he was born or what creed he worships, if he is loyal to America. He declared that everybody that lives in America should speak the English language and be loyal, or go back where he came from. "We only have room for one flag in this country the United State is no boarding house," said the eol onel. He spoke for nearly 30 minutes.

(By Associated Press) American troops went into action this morning on the Cham pagne front. A report from the French army states that they had advanced considerably by noon and had taken Blanc Mont and Medeah farm. The capture of Blanc, Mont and Medeah farm was announced in lasr night's French official statement. It was not made known, however, that American forces had effected the rantnriv Thi Americans here arc evidently co-operating with Gen- j era! Gouraud s French army in the Champagne, pushing the attack on the left. Blanc Mont is more than three miles northwest of Somme-Py, while the captured farm lies just to the east. A successful gas attack was made by the Americans'on this front yes terday at Vilosnes, on the Meuse above Dannevoux. The German artillery fire was spasmodic during the day. Many gas shells were thrown in by the enemy guns upon the American rear areas, notably Septsarges wood. Chatt- court, the Montszeville road, Dannevoux, Sachet wood, Esnej, Forges wood and Jure woods. The American engineers have re moved more than 100 buried Ger man mines from the ground evac uated by the enemy. , Tanks in Smashing Drive. American Headquarters in France, Oct. 4. (Reuter's.) When Ger man forces advanced on Tuesday in an attempt to capture Apremont, on the front northwest of Verdun, American tanks suddenly emerged from the town in all directions. The tanks went lurching through the German ranks, spraying bullets into them from all sides and spreading the utmost terror and consternation. The American tanks, after smash ing their way through the German lines, wheeled about and repeated the operation with deadly results. The enemy losses were extremely heavy. In one German company nine men were killed and 30 were wounded out of 70. In another com pany 10 were killed and 40 wounded out of 80. Owing to delays caused by the curious distribution of the roads in this district, it had been impossible until yesterday for the Americans effectively to organize counter bat tery work, but, thanks to the pro longed fine weather, the difficulties of General Pershing's men are dis appearing and the infantry is re ceiving the needed support. The organization of the American po sitions also has gone far to rob the German guns of their recent advan tage. Restrict Wool in Sweaters Washington, Oct. 4.

Contributed by tha Manafacturtri of Beyer-Tablets of Aspirin Tha Byr Crow ( A Y B&Vur Gu,rantw r United States Government Will Regulate Shoe Prices WHILE our Mr. S. W. Napier was in New York two weeks ago he attended a meeting of the shoe man ufacturers, at which meeting Mr. Baruch of the War Industries Board outlined the Government's regulation of the shoe industry. After listening to an address of Mr. Baruch, explaining the necessity of regulating shoe styles and prices, the following requirements were indorsed by the shoe manufacturers: AFTER October 15, no shoe manufacturer will be allowed to make high shoes that will retail for more than $12.00 per pair, placing all, shoes in three classes A, B and C, according to quality. 'Class A will sell from $9.00 to $12.00, Class B includes shoes from $6.00 to $8.50 and Class C from $3.00 to $5.50. The manufacturer will be required to stamp the class on the lining of all shoes, thereby preventing a merchant from selling shoes in Class B at the price of those in Class A, etc. '"P HESE regulations will not effect the price of any shoes now in the hands of retailers or the orders already placed with the manufacturers that are now being made up thus allowing retailers several months' grace before the new price limit goes into effect. "D TJT IF OUR Government sees fit to place the maximum price of shoes at $12.00, Napier's Booterie stands ready to co-operate in every way possible in order to conserve money and labor for the purpose of winning the war. THEREFORE, beginning Saturday, October 5, 1918, Napier's maximum price on all shoes that formerly sold from $12.50 to $18.00 (including Laird, Schober make) will be $12.00 until further notice. Shoes that sell for less than $12.00 will be continued, and. always priced justly, consistent, with good quality. THIS announcement of price reduction at this time is entirely voluntary and will wipe out the net profit on most of Napier's present supply of better grade shoes. But since the Government has decided to limit the price, Napier is pleased to adjust his prices NOW, beginning Saturday, October 5, 1918, instead of waiting several months to dis pose of shoes now on hand at regular prices, as permitted.
