9 THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1918. I LOBECK RECORD IN CONGRESS IS RIDDLED I (Continued from Pg One.) i and does not pay his bills. I was in district court here whin Mr. Lindquist sued him on an unpaid note. Everybody in that court room I was ashamed of their congressman. I One Lobeck Bill. "Has Lobeck ever been identified vith any important legislation. Did you ever hear of a Lobeck bill in congress except the one for an em bargo on munitions ivhen ve were on the verge of war? If that bill had gone through, v.c m.g' t he talk ing about the sut render of the allies now instead of the surrender of --Germany. " We have all heard of Jefferis, because lie is in tact a his man. a rnan of whom we would all be proud to have as our congressman. He will put Omaha on the map when he gets to congress. It will be serving our best interests to send a big man to congress. Lobeck could consistently be turned down on the grounds that he has not been friendly to the president. "Look up the history of the Mc Namara resolution. Omaha wants a congressman who will do his own thinking. If anybody intends to vote for Lobeck on account of his secretary, Jim Hanley, let me state than Hanley has been offered a $5,000 government job and Lobeck would not have Hanley to help him even if he should be re-elected. Shall People Govern? "The people are realizing that they have a right to express them selves by voice and the ballot," Al bert W. Jefferis, congressional can didate, stated. "The president seeks to adjourn republican politics. The government belongs to the people, to the high and the lowly. The great question tonight is, shall the people' govern or shall we elect someone to tell us what to do? If it had not been for the loyalty and devotion of republicans in congress, I don't know what would have hap pened to Wilson's war program. When this war council shall be over and it is going to be over soon don't let them fool you by saying that, the president will be embar rassed by having republicans i : the congress. Who dares to question the loyalty of partisans who follow in the political footsteps of Roose velt, Taft, McKinley, Lincoln and Grant. - "The purposes of the republican ' party have always been to legislate to the end that the greatest free dom, happiness and advancement may be given to the people. dne-Man Power Doomed. "The situation of the democratic party is indeed a precarious one and they may well shed crocodile tears over impending -defeat. The day of a one-man power is over in this country, as it is over in Europe." T, P. Holister, secretary of the republican county central com mittee, spoke briefly. "Neville," he said "thought he was going to war .when, he-. believed he would be made -colonel. ; but when that hope van ished; his patriotism was cooled and. then he decided to run. again for governor. "The democratic party would be branded as liars today by Lincoln for the manner they have misquoted him. Why don't they quote Roose velt in to-to? "Jefferis will not be a rubber stamp congressman when he goes to Washington, that we may be as sured of. If you want to continue under the domination of the Hitchcock-Mullen machine, then you should vote for Lobeck and his as sociates. Just take up any German language paper of this state and you will see the announcements of Lo beck and Neville. Democrats Hard Pressed, v "The democrats are in -hard straights when they have to make n appeal for their present bunch on the pretext that they are backing the president. But I dont believe that the people will stand any longer : for this domination." "If you were selecting a man to represent you in personal affairs, you would not select Lobeck as against Jefferis," said Ben S. Baker, chairman of the republican county , central committee. "I take exceptions to the presi dent trying to coerce people to vote for any political ticket. None has any right to brand you as dis loyal when you use your best judg ment in casting your ballot. No man need fear that if both houses of the ; congress fall into republican hands, that the country will not be run safely and sanely. ' A recuperative diet In influenza. Hor : Ucfc' Milk, very digestible. AdT. FORMER MAYOR DAHLMAN AGAIN IN THE ARENA (Continued from Pare One.) sent personal telegrams to this state, asking for the re-election of Lobeck and Neville. Vote the way we are shooting. The people in Eu rope won't understand it if we have a republican congress and a demo crat president." Mr. Dahlman declared that he un derstood what the flag stood for and asserted that the high seas of the world had been open for more than 100 years to every man, wo man and child until Germany chal lenged that right. Declaring again that he was a "layman," Dahlman said, 'I feel that I have a right to open these lips of mine and to go anywhere in this great nation and speak for those principles and policies that are nearest to my heart. Nobody Cheers Lobeck. "Then, he echoed the democratic campaign lines, that it was essen tial to the peace and happiness of the world that a democratic con gress should sit at Washington, he cause the president wishes it to be thus. Then something awful happened. When Dahlman said "Charley Lo beck is a faithful servant," there "was -not one ripple of applause. The crowd cheered reference to the flag and to America's brave men at the front, but they did not have a cheer for the "messenger boy" con gressman. It was a perplexing sit uation from a democratic stand point. "He stood by the president in all of his measures," was another state ment Dahlman endeavored to make his hearers believe, but many shook their heads reminiscently. Needs Demo Congress. Omaha's former mayor then de clared that the president needs a democratic congress so that he may give to the world "these rights and privileges." " On the eve of the election cer tain republican spokesmen have in jected partisan politics into the campaign, and have sought to cast reflections upon the president by charging him with bringing in part isanship at this late hour," was a startling bit of news offered by Mr. Dunn when he appeared in the role of courage promoter. Mr. Dunn recited that more or less well-known democratic piece about the president having asked for a democratic congress, because only democrats are wanted at this time. "The president has not said that any party has been more patriotic than another in this war," he added. "None has disputed the loyalty of the republican party and its repre sentatives in congress, but the re publicans have tried to take the leadership of the war away from President Wilson." "I didn't think that the republi cans would do such a thing as that," remarked an innocent bystander. "We are fighting for human lib erty and democracy," was another bit of inside information imparted by the speaker, and then he inflicted a cruel thrust by asserting that he or anybody else having the normal q:iota of fingers might count the republican leaders on the fingers of one hand. Call for 35,000 Men ( In Limited Service For Special Posts Washington, Nov. 4. -A drive to secure . 35,000 volnteers from lim ited service men, urgently needed to fill special posts in the army was begun today by the department of labor's employment service at the request of the War department. The men are wanted for duty in this country, and will be used to release more active men for service over seas. r m Only class 1-A registrants certi fied for limited service will be taken. CONDITIONS FOR ARMISTICE ARE MADE BY ALLIES (Continued from Pace One.) ed. It caused no excitement. It is generally assumed that the German government will receive the armistice terms through Washing ton as its request was received in that way. The Austrian case does not form a precedent as the appeal to Washington was supplemented after the collapse of the Austrian front by a direct application to General Diaz, the Italian command er. Unless the situation of the Ger man armies forces similar action on the western front however, it is as sumed here that the German case ij being handled through diplomat ic channels. The present Berlin civil government claims absolute authority over the army. The Versailles conferences evi dently did not reach final agree ment of the armistice terms un'il late today. Just before 6 p. m., it was stated at the state department the work had not been completed. An hour later word went out from the department that an import: :it statement would be forthcoming at 9 p. m. Must Evacuate. An attempt to apply the lessons of the Austrian armistice to Ger many's situation brings out several points upon which military men based their forecast of the German terms. For one thing, it is re garded as certain that .complete evacuation of Alsace-Lorraine will b; insisted upo nas well as the oc cupation of the Rhine fortresses by allied garrisons: Surrender of the German submarines and a sub stantial part of the high seas fleet and the occupation of land defenses that protect German naval bases al so is implied. So far as the German army is concerned, it must go back into Ger many probably without the whole vast mechanism of war which it carried into France and Belgium. All the big guns, tanks and aircraft under the Austrian precedent, would be concentrated and left un der the direct control of the allied and American armies. It was pointed out, however, that since Germany is the last of the central powers, when she surrenders there will be no need to provide for the employment of her military equipment by Marshal Foch. There will be no one left against whom to turn the guns. The terms for Germany, therefore, probably will show that variation from the Aus trian conditions. Leaves It to Foch. One feature of the Austrian sur render conditions, which is thought here to have been duplicated in the German terms, is the entrusting to Marshal Foch of the carrying out of the programs of demobilization and disarmament. Attention already is being given here to the next phase after Ger many ceases fighting. Officials have not lost sight of the fact that arm istices are only stepping stones to the permanent settlement of all the issues of the war. Political ques tions, boundaries, even commercial rights and privileges all remain to be defined. Both in the United States and in the allied countries, it is said, the necessity is recognized of setting in motion the wheels of peace-time in dustry at the earliest possible mo ment in order to afford employment and support to the millions of dis charged soldiers. This is expected to hasten the peace conference once the Germans surrender. It is re called that whereas the armistice or protocol which stopped the Spanish American war was signed on Aug ust 12, 188, it provided in its terms for a meeting of the peace pleni potentiaries in Paris before October 1, following. The purpose was to assemble the conferees at the earli est practical moment. Victors Make Terms.

The entente allies and America expect to go into the conference only after they have reached a per fect understanding among them stives. They will lay down these terms and while they may choose to permit the latter to make argu mcnt and "pleas in abatement," the result in the end end must be what the victors choose to make it. Deprived of any power of resis tance, it is pointed out, the Teutons will be obliged to submit, even though they might refuse to sign treaties, in which case the military occupation of their countries by the allies might continue indefinitely. Sam Mibibll, Victim Of Unknown Assailant, Is Dying in Hospital Samuel Mibibll. white man. 1933 South Twenty-first street, was as saulted Monday night in front of the home of William Dorsey, negro. 2305 Pacific street, and was so badly beaten that he is not expected to live, according to reports from the l ord Lister hospital, where he was taken.' Mibibll was assaulted with what police believe was a dull weapon, attested by a ragged and extended cut from the top of his head to. his right eye, which was blinded. According to police, there was a pool of blood in front of Dorsey's house and the victim's hat was found in the yard. Dorsey was ar rested with his niece, Rena Davis, and held for investigation. Both deny any knowledge of the crime. West Point Republicans Resent Unfair Criticism West Point. Neb., Nov. 4. (Spe cial Telegram.) Cuming county re publicans resent the tactics of the democratic press of the state which has been trying to make it appear that leaders here are of pro-German sentiment. In recent articles a number have been specified with a gross misrepresentation of the facts. As a matter of fact none of those mentioned is of German birth. E. F. Krause was born in Canada and his grandfather and grandmother were born in England; C. W. Sass was born in Cuming county as was Henry Banman. chairman of the Red Cross of the distiict; A. L. Krause was born in Canada and his son volunteered for service. All have been brought under cross-fire and they, one and all, re sent the criticism as they have been active in patriotic work. German Financial Panic Increased by Hoarders London, Nov. 4. The Berlin Vossische Zeitung, discussing the financial panic in Germany, says it is of a more stubborn character and greater in extent than at the outbreak of the war. The newspaper says the vii president of the Reiclis bank asst rt ed that recent hoarding had attain ed unexampled dimensions. llf warned the public that a cont.nua tion of hoarding would mean tin complete cessation of the eeonotnit life of Germany.
