AFFIDAVIT BY
NON-PARTISIAN
LEAGUEWORKER
State Organizer Makes Signed
Statement of Facts in
Regard to Work
of League.
Lincoln. Oct. 27. (Special.) The
managers of the Morehead and Ne
ville campaign have taken consid
erable pains to deny the reports
that the democratic party is doinff
all in its power to line up the mem
bers of the nonpartisan league with
their machine. An affidavit made
!y Jake Thull, an organizer of the
nonpartisan league of Nebraska,
which speaks strongly for itself is
printed herewith.
In speaking about the matter, C.
A. Sorenson of Lincoln, attorney
for the national nonpartisan league,
said:
"One cannot but laugh at the hy
pocrisy of the Morehead and Ne
ville campaign managers who for
weeks have been screaming through
the World-Herald and the Lincoln
Daily Star that they did not want
the support of the farmers of the
nonpartisan league. Ry proclaim
ing as disloyal and undesirable citi
zens the farmers who believe in
public ownership these wily politi
cians have succeeded undoubtedly
in lining up for their candidates the
solid support of every special in
terest from stock yards to electric
light. But thev needed other votes
and the affidavit indicates that they
were not without ; plans as to how
to get them.
Demands Investigation.
"Jake Thull's statement gives the
public hut a glimpse of the sinister
influence at work in Nebraska poli
tics. This exposure demands an im
mediate and full investigation by
the Department of Justice at Wash
ington. The new federal corrupt
practices act has teeth. It provides
in part as follows:
" 'That whoever shall promise, of
fer or give, or cause to be promised,
offered or piven, anv monev or other
thing of value, or shall make or ten
der any contract, undertaking, obli
gation, gratuity or security for the
payment of money or for the de
livery or conveyance of anything
of value to any person either to
vote or withhold his vote or to vote
for or against any candidate, or
whoever solicits, accepts, or re
ceives any money or other thing of
value in consideration of his vote
for or against any candidate for
senator or representative or dele
pate in congress at any primary
or general or special election, shall
he fined not more than $1,000 or
imprisoned not more than one year,
or both.'
Attorney General Should Act.
"The various county attorneys
and the attorney general of the
state ought also immediately to de
termine by careful investigation
whether or not there is any truth
in the statement that huge sums of
money are being used in the state
for the purpose of influencing the
election."
Following is the affidavit of Jake
Thull, organizer of the Nonpartisan
league:
Jako Thull. hng first duly sworn, on
cath deposes and says that he Is an or
ganizer for the National Nonpartisan
league of Nebraska; that he has been a
resident of Nebraska for 30 years and re
sides In Ansley, Neb. that he has been
organizing for the Nonpartisan league In
Valley county for the past 12 months and
has secured a large number of members
In said county.

fiant It he woud use his Influence among
the .eague members for the democratic
ticket and that "there might be more 'f
we could -carry the county by a great big
majority," that said Evans further stated

and was going to spend It to be elected."

Invited to confer with Mr. Sprague at his
office in the Llndell hotel, Lincoln; that

State Central committee, used in sub
stance the following language:

tt down that I gave you $500, so we will
put it down that I paid you $500 for a
list of the members of the league In your

German Press Gives
Hohenzollern Ruler
Hint to Abdicate
London, Oct. 27. German news
papers are discussing openly wheth
er the abdication of William Hohen
zollern, the German ruler, is neces
sary to obtain peace for Germany.
A Copenhagen dispatch to the Ex
change Telegraph company, says the
view held in Germany is that Presi
dent Wilson does not demand the
ruler's abdication, but will rest sat
isfied with democratic development
of the German political .institutions.
The Frankfort Zeitung says the
monarch is confronted with the
greatest difficulties in making the
personal decision whether Germany
shall surrender or negotiate. It ex
presses the hope that he will make
"a speedy and clever decision."
Heavy Rainfall General
Throughout the State
The total rainfall during the pres
ent wet spell, up to 7 o'clock Sun
day night, has been 2.62 inches, ac
cording to the weather bureau. The
precipitation for the 24 hours prior
to Sunday night was .84 inches.
Railroads report that the rainfall
throughout the state has been much
if not more than in Omaha. In
some localities as much as 2 to 4
inches has fallen during thej last
week.
The drizzling fay in which the
rain has fallen has allowed prac
tically all of it to soak into the
ground, putting the winter wheat in
the best possible condition for next
season.

REPUBLICANS
URGED TO STAND
SOLID IN STATE
Nebraska Should Send United
Republican Delegation and
Make State a Factor in
New Legislation.
Washington. Oct. 26. (Special
Telegram.) Congressman Sloan
who will probably leave for Nebras
ka early next week, had made ar
rangements with the Republican Na
tional Congressional committee to
deliver a series of speeches in West
Virginia, Ohio and Indiana on his
way home, giving the last 10 days to
campaigning m nis own state, -i lie
almost universal prevalence of the
influenza necessitated calling off
campaign rallies and as a rule the
congressman has remained in the
capital investigation que s t i o n s
Nebraska and the northwest are vit
ally interested in. Meanwhile more
of Sloan s speeches are beine dis
tributed throughout the northwest
than those of any other representa
tive, upwards of 200,000 of his cot
ton, corn and beef speeches having
uccu scut uui tu citizens in me
states north and west of Nebraska
Speaking of the political situation
Mr. Sloan said that all of his Ne
braska advices indicated that the
republicans are booked for a win
ning, both state and national. The
congressman, who was a candidate
for the senatorial nomination, is a
good republican always and a good
loser and is supporting Senator
Norris.
President's Speech.
He further said: "Of the 14
points in the president's January 8
speech, which is playing such a part
in the peace movement, number 11,
a declaration for international free
trade, is most significant." By this,
tariff making, which is placed in the
house of representatives by the con
stitution, is shifted to the interna
tional settling table to be passed
upon by representatives of both
friend and enemy coutries, all
of whom would like to see the
United States committed to free
trade. It would next be passed up
on by the senate as the co-ordinate
treaty making power, leaving the
house of representatives out of con
sideration.
"Republicans cannot support
proposition to destroy the protec
tive system under which the coun
try attained its economic and finan
cial supremacy and cannot therefore
support a democratic 'candidate
pledged in . advance to such free
trade policy.
; "The president's recent letter has
crystalized sentiment and unified
party sentiment, which republicans
needed more than did democrats.
Send Solid Delegation.
"Nebraska should send a solid re
publican delegation and make the
state a factor in new legislation.
Nebraska republicans can exert a
salutary influence on republican leg.
islation. In this they occurjy a dif
ferent position from the democratic
members under democratic control
wholly dominated by the south,
which has no patience with and no
consideration for the interests of
the northwest. Their caucas sys
tem, renders the northern democrat
ic species the most innocuous of the
genus congressman. They dare not
criticize and thus bring about
amendment or reform, and are in
committee straight-jackets so they
cannot accomplish anything.
No Demo Leaders.
"Surveying the course of legisla
tion for the last eight years, it will
seem that no democratic member of
the northwest has been the author of
or the controlling factor in any im
portant legislation. This fact is
regardless of the good qualities or
measure of ability, which such mem
bers may have had.
"Congressman Kincaid, long the
dean of the delegation, is known as
the most industrious member of the
house. He had been phenominally
successful in obtaining legislation
for his district
"Congressman Reavis has estab
lished a reputation as the most at
tractive orator in the house, and his
influence is consantly growing.
"The republicans are fortunate in
having such congressional candi
dates as the brilliant and stalwart
Jefferis in the second, capable and
fearless. Evans in the third, ener
getic and intellectual; McLaughlin
in the fourth, and experienced and
able Andrews in the fifth."
Barometer Lowest Sunday
Since Easter Tornado
Barometers corrected for the al
titude of Council Bluffs showed the
lowest pressure Sunday at any time
noted here since the Omaha tor
nado. The pressure decreased
steadily all day and at 5 o'clock had
reached 28.70. Those who were
watching weather conditions were
considerably puzzled to determine
what was coming.
The three days of almost constant
rainfall has soaked the ground to a
greater depth than has been reached
for several years. The rain has
been so steady and gentle that but
little of the water has escaped. Un
paved streets in the western and
southern parts of the city were
nearly impassable yesterday. Scores
of vehicles mired down and nad to
be dragged out.
Undertaker Woodring's ambul
ance sank so deeply into the water-
soaked earth on Avenue fc. Satur
day night that two powerful motor
trucks were required to drag it out
of the mud. The first truck got
stuck and another was required to
pull it out. Reports came from all
parts of town to police headquarters
giving notice of bad holes in the
streets.
It was the severest test yet placed
upon the newly graded - country
roads, but reports from the Lincoln
highway, River to River1 and White
Pole roads showed them to be in
good condition. Many automobiles
slipped off the evenly rounded sur
face and dropped into the three-foot
ditches on each side. They had to
be pulled out.
Weather sharks and observant pio
neer farmers say the present ex
traordinary conditions mean banner
crops next year, that the near ap
proach of freezing weather will seal
cp the great reservoir of water and
go far toward eliminating the dan
ger of drouth next summef M

enemy machine close to the ground
until he saw the enemy aviator land
and fall into the hands of Ameri
can infantrymen. Returning to his
aerodohe, Rickenbacher heard the
news of his promotion to a captain

organized and was soon on the wing.
In addition to bombing Briquenay

dropped bombs in woods nearby and
the pursuit planes attacked enemy
troops with small bombs and ma
chine guns. The bombers report
excellent results, direct hits being
obtained upon railroad sheds.
