WHIRLWIND
VINDUP TO
CAMPAIGN ON
Democrats Make Desperate
' Eleventh-Hour Attempt to
Offset Gains by the
Republicans.
With but a few days left for a
whirlwind finish, the candidates are
bending every effort to make the
most of their eleventh-hour oppor
tunity.
Albert W. Jefferis, republican con
gressional candidate for the Second
district; Samuel K. McKelvie, re
publican gubernatorial candidate, and
other speakers will hold a series of
outdoor meetings tonight trom
Twenty-fourth street and Ames av
enue, to Twenty-fourth and M
streets; also at Fifteenth and Far
nam streets.
A responsible young business man,
whose name is withheld for busi
nes reasons, comes forward with a
Statement which offers concrete in
stances of the desperate attempts
of the democrats to gain their ends:
"I have a friend who is employed
in the government quartermas
ters department at Twenty-sec
ond and Hickory streets," he
said. "I met him yesterday
morning when he asiced me
how I was going to vote, whereupon
I just smiled. He then suggested
that I should vote the straight dem
cratic ticket; that he intended to do
so and that the other fellows at the
corral would do likewise because or
ders had been sent out to the men to
vote the straight democratic ticket."
"I am slow to denounce a man
as incompetent for any particular
political job, unless I know what I
am talking about," remarked C. H.
Clancy, 1215 Woodmen of the
World building.
"On June 27 of this year I went
into the office of Treasurer M. L.
Endres and handed a blank check,
signed by myself, with a request
that he should fill in the amount
of all taxes against me at that time.
I had been in the habit of doing
it that way when W. G. Ure was
treasurer. The check went through
the bank in the sum of $105.01 and
I dismissed the matter with the
thought that my taxes had all been
paid. I happened to scan the re
cent tax list as advertised and not
ed that $29.06 was against two of
my lots which were advertised for
ale.
"He does not know how to run
the office and the proof is right be
fore me in this second receipt for
$29.06." ,
R. A. Allen, clerk of the district
court of York county, came here to
take an examination for. the quar
termaster's corps. He is a member
of the home guards of his county,
served his country in the Philippines,
and now is endeavoring to get into
the service, although he has two
years to go in his present office,
and a wife and three children.
"We have 300 home guards in our
.county and I can assure you that
there is a strong resentment against
. the circular letters which Governor
Neville sent to the guards in behalf
of his candidacy. This feeling has
grown so prpnounced that I learned
this morning before I left York that
some of the democratic leaders out
'there wired Neville to make an ef
fort to get into York county before
election day, to counteract the feel
ing , which has been engendered
against him. York county will go
strong for McKelvie and nobody
knows that better than Neville."
Samuel R. McKelvie, republican
candidate for governor, emphatical
ly denies that he had anything to
do with a circular quoting the acts
of the council of defense with refer
ence to German Lutherans of this
state, and a resolution that was
. ..i ?. . . j.
suDmntea io congress regarding
this subject by the Nebraska dele-,
gation in congress.
"I can not find words that will
adequately express my surprise at
having been associated with this
matter. Early in the campaign I
endeavored to answer some, of the
charges of the Hitchcock-Mullen
machine, but was repeatedly mis
quoted by, the publications of that
machine and became at once con
vinced that it was utterly impossi
ble for me to obtain any measure of
justice at their hands. I have,
therefore, ignored their charges,
feeling that I could safely trust the
public to place the right construc
tion upon their methods."
' Mr. McKelvie adds that the cir
cular in quesion has never received
his approval or indorsement. '
Republican legislative candidates
of this county were entertained by
Major E. L. De Lanney,
Ft. Crook Post Surgeon,
Ordered to Des Moines
Maj. E. L. DeLanney, post sur
geon at Fort Crook, has received
orders to report to Fort Des
Moines (la.) base hospital No. 26.
Major DeLanney has been in
charge of the post hospital at Fort
Crook for four years. He is a grad
uate of the Creighton Medical col
lege and served as a faculty mem
ber there for many years.
He was born in Liege, Belgium,
the city noted for its former am
munition factories and for its
staunch stand against the Hun in
vasion in 1914, and the cause of the
war lies very close to his heart.
Major DeLanney's family will ac
company him to his new post.
Normal Pack of Beans Is
Permitted Next 3 Months
Packers and canners of beans
may pack during November, De
cember and January a normal pack
for these three months, according
to advices from Washington to
Gurdon W. Wattles, federal food
administrator for Nebraska. Avail
ability of tin plate is given for the
increase.
Mr. Wattles' advice says: "The
food administration has been able
to arrange for a sufficient quantity
of tin plate to permit the packing
of beans. Permission is herewith
granted to canners of beans to
pack during the months of Novem
ber, December and January a total
quantity not in excess of a normal
pack for these three months. Can
ners may use up all odd sized tins
now on hand but additional pur
chase of tins smaller than number
tw6 size will not be permitted. It
is still necessary for all shippers
selling beans to canners to secure
permits before making sales. Can
ners may : not, however, contract
for more than a three-months' sup
ply of cans or beans.":

STATUS IN ARMY
OF JOHN LYNCH
WORRIES BOARD
Uncertain Whether Dismissal
is Dishonorable Discharge
or Furlough When He
Reports.
John C. Lynch, after one day's
service in the army at Camp Dodge,
la., was dismissed upon request of
United States Attorney Allen and
returned to Omaha Thursday night.
Lynch reported at local exemption
board No. 4 immediately upon his
return to Omaha. Chief Clerk
Southard said that he asked Lynch
if he had filed his questionnaire, to
which Lynch replied that he could
not remember, but that he had
signed several documents and he
did not know whether the ques
tionnaire was one of them or not.
When asked how Lynch was
given a 1-A classification at the time
of his induction, Southard said that
Tony Minardi, the clerk who has
since been discharged on account
of the Lynch affair and who had
charge of the physical classification,
had classed Lynch in 1-A, after the
regulation physical test had been
passed.
Southard further said that it was
his opinion that Lynch had never
filed his questionnaire and he was
given the blank forms Thursday
night and told to file them im
mediately. Exemption board officials are in
a quandary now as to Lynch's mili
tary status; whether his dismissal
is a dishonorable discharge, a fur
lough, or whether he was ever con
sidered a member of the army.

Time Brings Happiness
With The Dawn
The Coming of Baby Marks the Ad
vent of a Glorious ruture.
Scientists say great stress should be laid
upon the remarkable influence which the
mother's happy pre-natal disposition has
upon the health and future of the genera'
tion to come.
There is splendid preparation women
for over half a century have applied be
fore the stork's arrival, known as Mother's
friend. This is a most grateful, penetrat
ing remedy that at once softens and
soothes the myriad of broad, flat abdomv
nal muscles under the skin of the abdo
men. By its regular use during the period
the nerves, tendons and cords are relaxed
and there is an absence of nausea, bear
ing-down pains, strain and general discom
fort more often than otherwise experienced
when nature is unaided.
By the use of Mother's Friend night and
morning the muscles relax with ease when
baby comes, the time at the crisis is short
er and pain and danger is naturally
avoided.
Write the Bradfield Regulator Com
pany, Dept. E. Lamar Building, Atlanta,
Georgia, for their Motherhood Book, and
obtain a bottle of Mother's Friend from
the druggist, by all means, and get into
condition to meet the crisis. Adv.
