From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Oct. R (Special.) One
Vote has already been recorded by a
soldier for S. R. McKelvie, repub
lican candidate for governor, ac
cording to information received
at Lincoln. This is a soldier vote
and was made public by the soldier
himselt.
, . The story is that one day last
week while Mr. McKelvie was
speaking out in the state the train
pulled in and a young man in sol
dier uniform lighted from the train
and started up town.
When he arrived on the out-
' skirts of the crowd which was
listening to Mr. McKelvie a man
rushed from the crowd and seized
' him in his arms. It was the boy's
.father who had supposed that he
was in France. There had been
some delay in starting and the boy
had been given a short furlough to
come and say goodbye to his home
folks.
"When are you going home,
dad?" asked the young man of his
father.
sr "Just as soon as I Iiear the rest
of this speech," answered the father.
I On inquiry by the young man as
,to who was speaking, the, older
man replied it was Mr. McKelvie,
republican candidate for governor,
and "I'm going to vote for him
too," added the old man.
v "Oh, thunder, dad," answered
the soldier boy, "I beat you to it, I
roted for him before I left camp."
.l The soldiers in the camps have
been voting for some time and their
return envelopes containing their
votes have been coming back to
the office of the secretary for more
Jhan a week;- but this is the first
time that the vote of any one has
been given out.

Probably Be Held for
Federal Authorities
V
Information has filtered through
to te effect that the Federal au
thorities are holding the joker in the
game wherein Edward Callahan
and Mrs. C -Callahan of Fremont,
Xeb.. arc the star features. The
Callahan s were arrested by Potta
wattamie county. la., officials Sun
day as they alighted from an in
coming St. Joe train and are being
held on a charge of transporting
liquor into dry territory. x
If all reports be true, however,
Uncle Sam will play the high card
in the game, and they will find
themselves in even more serious
trouble than of a violation of the
Read amendment. According to re
liable information, Ed Callahan is
the son-in-law of Mrs. Callahan' and
the two bar been spending some
time in St. Joseph, living together
as man and wife. Hence they will
likely be brought before the feleral
authorities on a charge of violation
of the white slave law.
