' From a Staff Correspondent. ' Lincoln. Nov. 2. (Special.) As the i campaign comes to the close, Chairman E. D. Beach of the re publican state committee gives out the following to the voters of Ne ' braska as reasons why the repub lican candidates should be elected. He compares the two old parties and given seven reasons at least why the voters should voe for the party which is putting patriotism above politics: The republican ticket ought to be elected: 1. 3ecause a republican victory nationally is the most emphatic expression in favor of a peace .based upon victory by our arms and unconditional surrender by Our enemies. , 2. Because the republican party . nationally has won the confidence of the country by placing the pros ecution of the war above party ,-. interest. , 3. Because the following repub Jican principles in the coming re construction period will bring sound economic conditions and social progress. ,4. Because in the state of Ne v braska the republican party is an agency responsive to the public will, while the democratic party is an agency responsive to a po litical machine whose operation ill good Nebraskans, both repub licans and freedemocrats, de plore. 5. Because the republican state . platform is clear cut. definite and progressive, while the democratic itate platform excels only in its evasiveness. 6. Because the republican party is pledged by its platform to na tional prohibition, while the dem ocratic party, was evidenced by its platform, seeks to dodge the issue while its record in the past in this state brands it as the "booze" party. 7. Because the republican party favors equal suffrage in the state and nation, and its representatives have supported that movement. while the democratic party, not withstanding its platform, has shown its real position by the vote of Senator Hitchcock, the master emchanic of the machine, who voted against woman suffrage when the president of the United States appealed to him to vote for it as a necessary war measure.
