12 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: OCTOBER 27, 1918. G. 0. P. CONGRESS WOULD WARN FOE SAYS CUMMINS Iowa Senator Says Election of Republicans Demand for aa Unconditional Surrender. OMAHA B07 THRILLED BYJ CHASING SUBS. Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa spent Saturday in Omaha, visiting friends. He had expected to make a few speeches in this state for the republican ticket, but the "dates were all canceled because of the iuan'iiiiic dgdiiiM iiicemiKs on ac count of the influenza. While here the' senator made this statement: "The entry of the president into the -oncressional campaign would ' bit' of doubtful propriety under any can. no omer president in ail our history has ventured upon a course so oartisan. "I do not. however, so much ob ject to "the fact of interference as I do to the basis of interference. Huns Fear Republicans. , "It is an insult to every loyal republican to even suggest that a republican congress would pot prosecute the war earnestly and ef ficiently, or that such an event would be "Interpreted abroad, as in dicating a desire in the United States to go easy in the fight against Germany. "On the contrary, the president knows, and everybody else knows, that the election of a republican congress, would be construed at home and abroad as an imperative demand for unconditional surrender. "The people will deal with this extraordinary appeal just as they did in Wisconsin when it was made for the defeat of Senator Lenroot. "Republicans or democrats agree upon one thing at least our, chief concern is the war and the manner in which it shaft be brought to an ;nd. People Behind President. "As commander;rin-chief and for the, purpose of making this couXtry strong in war and for the complete overthrow of Germany and her co conspirators, republicans and demo crats alike will stand by the presi dent and give him every man who can fight and every dollar in the land, and if there be degrees in the earnestness and enthusiasm with which they do "it, the comparison ...:it - . v . it,. Ar . l. republicans. Vs. - It may be that when it comes to the general reorganization of the world and the agreements which it is proposed the United States shall undertake, there will arise differ ences of opinion, but these differ ences have nothing to do with whip ping Germany, and that is our busi ness juA new. Republicans Needed. Assuming that the war will be prosbcuted quite as vigorously with a republican senate and house of representatives as under -democratic control, it seems to m? that there never was a time at which it was so important to restore and main tain republican supremacy in con gress", as it is now. The war can not continue more than a-year and then will come for this country the work of legislative reconstruction, not only of our foreign affairs, but of our domestic affairs. The prob lems which will confront congress wiH be of supreme importance and of unparalleled difficulty. "Every phase of social, industrial, commercial and economic Iffe (lur ing the war must be abnormal. When peace comes our way forward or back to normal conditions will be tne most perilous pathever pursued by mankind. We must prepare for the tjansition. 'Without unduly rlisnaracrincr mv tpmnrrntii irtenAe it can be said that this vital and gigantic work will be safer in re publican than in democratic hands. The history, of the country proves very clearly that the republican par ty has a capacity for constructive legislation which the democratic party has never been able to ac quire. The unscrambling of the eggs .which, on account of the war. have been" thrown into the platter is byong the ability of - party whicn is controlled by one section of the country, and that the least important part. . Power Needs Limutng. "The immense tiawers vith which we have invested the president, most of which were necessary for the successful nroserntinn nf thp war, must in' large measure be with drawn or readjusted, and it is mani festly unwise to commit this task to a democratic administration that. - .

L. MORTON. V. L. Morton, 21-year-old brother of Mrs. Zella Andrews, 2017 Leavenworth- street, is head gunner on a submarine chaser and has made 12 trips across the Atlantic, passing through the' danger zone 24 times. Morton writes thrilling letters of fights with submarines and of ex citing chases and hair-breath es capes. He says he has watched submarines sink "like snowflakes in the sun," atwf is mighty proud of the United States navy and the way in which the little "rattlesnake chas c" have guarded big transports crossing the ocean. Young Morton is a graduate from the Omaha High school and was formerly in the live stock business in South Omaha. He enlisted in the war and trained at Great Lakes naval station and on the battleship f Montana. Later he was assigned to duty on a submarine chaser. SLOGANS GOME AS BEE CONTEST PROVESPOPULAR Many Enter Competition for Prizes by Writing Lines , to Be Used to Boost Omaha. The "Slogan Contest," in which The Bee is offering a prize for the best slogan directing attention of out-of-town readers to Omaha's su perior attractions as a city, is bring ing great response. While many of the slogans so rar submitted are from Omaha readers, each mail is bringing suggestions from all parts o Nebraska and even from other states. Some of the contestants seem to have found it difficult to keep with in the required number of letters. As the slogan is to be used as a "banner line" over the heading on the first page, a line containing 54 to 60 letters, is acceptable, and must conform strictly to the rule governing length. Many contestants are sending in several slogans, thus enhancing their chance to win either the cash award or one" of the books that will go to the 10 next best slogans. Among the best slogans already in which may give a good idea to other contestants are these: "Omaha, distinctively most pro gressive and initiative city in the world." "Come to Omaha to trade, the most stupendous trade,, centef in the west."' 'Have faith in growing Omaha, where nothing knocks but oppor tunity." "Omahacity of renown, where health, wealth and happiness abound." It is the hope of The Bee in this contest to create a slogan that will be valuable to the city of Omaha, to be impressed upon the mind of every out-of-town reader. Remember your answer must be in by October JO, as the winners will be announced November 3. Curfew to Blow for Kids at 9 P. M. Instead of at 8 Arrangements have been made to have the curfew whistle blown for the kiddies at 9 p. m., which is the legal hour for them to go home. The hour was changed some time ago to 8 o'clock as an experiment. licans as naturally therewould be in a body of free men; but in the funda mental policies ' of the republican party we- stand together, and he as firmly and steadily as any of his associates. No purer heaTted patriot breathes than he. ' "It is a pleasure to say for him that for influence in the senate, for hard continuous work, for compre hension of the intricate problems of legislation, for devotion to his sense of, right and justice, he occupies a high place in the senate and it would be a grievous misfortune should he fail of re-election- "If the republican party is to take its proper place in tiie leadership of the nation, it must organize the sen ate; it must havar majority upon each of the committees of the sen ate; it must have the chairmanship of each of these committees. 1A all probability these things cannot be accomplished unless Senator Norris is re-elected. The republicans of Nebraska are not acting for them selves alone, for it is'quiteMikely that what they do at the coming election will decide whether republicans or democrats shall determine the legis lation of the next few years. It is not strange, therefore, that we of the outside are deeply interested in the results of the campaign in Nebras ka." Negro Fined $75 on 1 Charge of Running' a Gambling.
