V3HR THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER'-30. 1918. A 3v GERMAN TINGE STAMPS DEMOS WHO ASK OFFICE American Casualty List Patriotism Flaunted to Jurn Attention from Ancestry and Connections of Candidates. Democrats hereabouts, and also thereabouts, are raising: consider able dust by their claims of a monopoly on patriotism. In vaude ville there is a stock expression which noes, "The American flag has saved many a rotten act." So it goes with the democrats, who try to cash in by associating pictures of their candidates with pictures of (the president, and by otherwise parading patriotism fr partisan purposes. In this respect the republican county candidates and the state can didates as well, speak for them selves. An analysis of the republi can list of candidates needs no blatant bellowings to command at tention. If a test were needed on the basis of American-born per cent, the republican candidates would need no defense; but inasmuch as the democrats have made their boasts, they invite exposure. German Connections. The records in the election com mhsioner's office show that Michael L. Entires, county treasurer seeking re-election, was born in Germany. He was naturalized in Omaha only 14 years ago. He has always banked on German support. The father of Congressman Lo beck was born in Prussia, and Lo beck's family connections are large ly German. Albert W. Jefferis and W. G. Shriver, republican can didates for congress and treasurer, respectively, are native Americans. Do the democrats want any more :omparisons? Pot Shot at Mullen. The democrats have addled their own political eggs, wherefore they are beside themselves these days. If they do not get it from one side, they get it from the other, and so it goes all through the livelong day. A democratic publication takes pot shot at "King" Arthur Mullen, dem ocratic national committeeman for Nebraska, and printe regent of local democratic politics. To quote: "Arthur Mullen put his foot into a bad bit of mud the other day when he said for publication that the government made a mistake when it gave the colored man a vote. Arthur wou4d not do very well if he bad to depend on Nebraska negroes tor support. Jefferis Sentiment Grows. - An unprejudiced canvass of the Second congressional district situa tion in Omaha reveals a growing sentiment in favor of Jefferis, who hag been making an aggressive per sonal campaign. Having been thor oughly informed of the congres sional recxd of Mr. Lobeck, people of .all classes know why they would prefer to have Jefferis represent them in the national legislative halls. The name tf Lobeck. has ceased to cause a ripple even in Swedish cir cles. v McKelvie Here. Samuel R. McKelvie, republican candidate for governor, came into Omaha Tuesday morning to spend a few days in this vicinity. have traveled 3,000 miles by automobile through most of the counties and I found a surprising interest among the people," he state'd.' "Lbad an average attend- ance of 200 at tne meetings I at tended before the closing order stopped gatherings. I foujid a wide- " spread determination to put the Hitchcock-Mullen machine out of business. From a republican point of view, the state situation is prom ising, and I base that opinion on my observations all over the state during the last five weks." M motto Loyafto U. S., Says Attorney Becker New York, Oct. 29. Alfred' L. Becker, deputy attorney general of New York, issued a statement to day, intended, as he said, to clear Coun.. James Minotto of any previ ous suspicion that his association with the principals in the Cailleux Luxburg conspiracy to bring about a separate peace between France and Germany in 191SL pointed to his guilty participation in the plot. Elaborating his announcement that Minotto had talked with the ut most freedom in preparing a sworn statement for the use of the French government in the prosecution of Joseph Caillaux, former premier, for hrgh treason, Mr. Becker declared that Minotto's deposition was made with a desire to be of assistance to the American and French govern ments. The deputy attorney gen eral expressed his belief that Mi notto never was a conscious agent of the German gortrnment and, al though interned as an enemy alien, is "wholly loyal to the United f States." Montenegrin King Rejoices - In Independence of Slavs Faris, Monday, Oct. 28. King Nicholas of Montenegro has sent a declaration to the Jugo Slavs in which,, after expressing his joy over President Wilson's reply to Austria and affirming the independence of the union of Jugo Navs, he said: "I declare solemnly that Monte negro must become a constituent part of Jugo Slavia." fc The king advocated a confederated Jugo Slavia, in which each state would be tqual and would retain Its rights, institutions and religion. 229 Miles in 105Minutes Is New U.

Shenandoah, Ia.. Oct. 29. (Spe cial Telegram.) The following message was sent to Will H. Hays. New York; Senators Lodge .and Kenyon and Congressman Horace Towner, Washington, D. C, and Governor Harding, Des Moines, by the republican committeemen of Shenandoah, Ia.: "Republicans of Shenandoah and southwest Iowa unanimously resent the insinuation of President Wilson that a democratic congress is necessary to winning the war. We stand aghast at Wilson's appeal for the power of a Caesar. We believe that republicans in congress who have led legislation for national pre paredness and for. vigorous prose cution of the war can more safely be trusted as hundred-per-cent Americans to make peace terms with Germany than democrats of the Kitchin-Dent-Clark type, who have obstructed that legislation. "We endorse "Senator Lodge's two-word platform of 'unconditional surrender' and oppose any peace by negotiation. We deplore the pnr tisianship of the president, who seeks to condemn and defeat loyal republican congressmen who have led in putting through great war measures and who tfives a Ixjankct endorsement to democratic con gressmen who have opposed those measures and who now hold posi tions of power as chairmen of the principal committees in congress. "Keep this thought before the American people and our allies in the world war: "And let it be k"nwn that loyal Iowa, which is sacrificing so many of its sons on the battle field of France and which has gone over the top on every war activity will do it again next Tuesday by sending a solid republican delega tion to congress.'" Signed by: Frank Mullison, W. W. Benedict, C. K. Marvin, republican committeemen for Shenandoah. Two Flyers Killed. Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 29.-Ca-dets Howard D. Burnett and How ell W. Williams of Barron field were killed today when their planes collided in the air. Wjlliams is from Tippstan, Pa., and T3urnett from Dodge City, Kan.
