THE OMAHA BEE 18 HOWARD URGES DEMOCRATS TO SMASH MACHINE Lieutenant Governor Warns Voters Against Candidates Who Are Controlled by Corporations. i At least one democrat holding high office in Nebraska refuses to be the tool of the Mullen-Hitch-cock-Gooch machine. Edgar Howard, lieutenant gov ernor, resents the appeal of Presi dent Wilson which might "send two Hitchcocks to the United States senate" by electing "the unclean Morehead." In a signed editorial appearing in the Columbus (Neb.) Telegram, Mr. Howard calls upon free demo crats to be loyal to the country by voting against every candidate "high or low who is under obedience to the Mullen-Hitchcock-Gooch ma chine." Extracts from this editorial follow: "I love my president, but I know lie is human. I will follow him in any .good direction, but my own rep utation is as dear to me as any de sire of my president is clear to him I have been proclaiming the gospel of a free democracy ever since I was a boy. Shall I now turn traitor to my own gospel and give my vote to men whose hands are tied by cor poration strings, simply because my president asks me to do so? Shall I endorse the partisan plea of my president, and by such endorsement put forth the claim that my repub lican neighbors are less loyal th..n my democratic ne'ghbors? Shall I cast my vote next Tuesday for cer tain democratic candidates for high oflice whom I positively know to be wedded to the great, special interests and whom I positively know to be as much the tools of Arthur Mullen as my own pocket-knife is my own piece of machinery? 'T shall cast my vote next Tues day for all democratic nominees whose hands are not tied by cor " porat'ion strings. I shall not vote for any candidate for the I'niteil States senate, for congress, for a state like, nor for any legislative candidate whom I know to be a tool of the corporations, even though my president, evilly rdvised by dem ocratic agents of evil in Nebraska, s 'all aslc me to do so. 1 love rres i.'.riU Wilson, and so I dare not cast a vote which might send two Hitch cocks to the United States senate Two vears apo President Wilson ap-p-a'.ed to me to support Senator llkchcock, who had agreed to sup port President Wilson in all things. Me;i have wondered why I pave my support to Senator Hitchcock two years ago, knowing as I did his croo!;ed record. At that time I publicly stated that. I supported Hitchcock because President Wilson had asked all Nebraskans to sup port the unclean senator. I did a wicked thing when I helped to elect Hitchcock, who has been the mean est enemy President Wilson ever had, or has today. President Wil son made a mistake two years ago when he asked Nebraskans to vote for the snakeyi Hitchcock. Presi dent Wilson makes a mistake today when he asks Nebraskans to vote for the unclean ' Morehead. or for any democratic candidate for con gressional, state or legislative office, if the candidate's hands are known to be tied by corporation strings. ,) "I call upon all free democrats in Nebraska to be loyal to our coun try, to our president, to the true principles of the democratic party, and to themselves, and they can best prove their loyalty next Tuesday by voting against every democratic candidate, high or low, who is under obedience to the Mullen-Hitchcock-Gooch machine. It will not do any good to break a few spokes in the wheels of the machine. The duty of free democrats next Tuesday will be to smash the whole wagon." Welfare Activities Are Centered in War Gimp Community Service Washington, Nov. 1. All activi ties connected with the welfare of enlisted men outside of the camps and cantonments, heretofore con ducted independently by the Y. M. C.
