V THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1111. NEW JOBS ARE AVAILABLE FOR DISABLED MEN " Men Crippled in War Will Be Fitted for Remunerative Work; Survey Shows Positions Available. Washington, Nov. 5. Plans for training nd placing in remunera tive positions soldiers and sailors maimed in the war worked out by the United States Employment ser vice and the Federal Board of Vocational Education are ready to be put into operation. The employment service has fn structed its representatives through out the country to obtain informa tion that will be helpful in the placement of partially disabled sol diers and sailors. Surveys of labor needs will be made in conference with employers to' determine where such men can be used efficiently. Representative In Hospitals. The Board of Vocational Edu cation will maintain in each hos pital for the treatment of wounded, . a representative who will confer with disabled men before their dis charge from the hospital. If a man desires to continue in the oc cupation he was engaged in before the war and is fitted for it, help 'will be given him in finding work in that calling; should his injuries make it necessary for him to seek a new means of livelihood, he will be advised of the lines in which he can enter without finding his h- juries a handicap and a course of training in the work to be adopted will be offered. Every effor. will be made to assist disabled men to ward that r .tupation in which they are most interested and for which, because of aptitude and experience on one hand and handic-ps on the Dther, they are best suited. , Referred To Local Board. After the vocational adviser has assisted the recuperating patient to ,t'..oose a suitable occupation, his case, with full information, will be referred to a local board in his com munity made up of two represen tatives of the district employment office, one a physician, two repre sentatives chosen from the locality, orre to be an employer and the other a representatives of IVoor. The board will see to his training, and while it is in progress he will b; supported ,by the government and given the same allotment and family allowance for dependants as when he was in military or naval service, liis expenses, in me main, -will be covered from the compen ' sation provided in the vocatior.-l rehabilitation act. Manufacturing establishments, of fices and farms will be used to give preliminary training, especially for those occupations not yet regarded as being within the school or col lege field. Afterward, through the hini. The board will ke.p in touch as friend and adviser for such period after employment is found as may be necessary to complete his re-establishment as a civilian worker. , Ford Has Many Openings.

If you have a cold, it is easy for grip to take hold. If you have the grip, it may easily lead to pneumonia, and that often ends fatally. So first of all do not allow yourself to get run down or weakened. Build up new strength by taking Father John's Medicine, which gives health resistance to overcome disease. But if you have a coldv do not neglect it. Begin taking Father John's Medicine right away. It is the logical, safe way to treat a cold and has proven its value by moe than 60 years' success. A mild attack of grip will usually yield to Father John's Medicine, but the getting well stage i3 the danger point. It is then that the body, weakened by the grip germs, is open to attack by many.other lurk ing disease perils. These poisons must be driven from the system and' Father John's Medicine is most effective by means of its laxative effect and because of its strength-giving, health-building, tissue-forming ele ments, i Remember, Father John's Medicine ia- a pure, wholesome food.

Democratic Leaders Repudiate Machine Hitchcock. Mullen. Gooch and I Neville in Hot Water Once Powerful Bosses Now Op posed by Leaders and Rank and File of Party i Dworak School of Accounting Second Floor, Wead Building, 18th and Farnam. That the Machine is desperate, owing to the wholesale repudiation of it and its leaders, is becom ing apparent as election day approaches. Every day. brings its tidings that large numbers of the rankand file are going to vote the Republican ticket as a warn ing to the Machine that they will no longer tolerate Machine politics and Machine leadership, which has brought the Democratic party to the verge of de struction. t Among the well -known democrats, who for years have stood for the best things in Democratic politics, and .who have now refuted the Machine, either openly or by refusing to endorse the Machine candidates, are the following: LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR EDGAR HOWARD, of Columbus. HON. W. J. TAYLOR, of Custer floor leader of the last Democratic House. CECIL MATHEWS, of Riverton, well known news per man, now holding a Government position. I. J. DUNN, of Omaha, well known lawyer and pro gressive Democrat. LOUIS F. LANGHORST, former state chairman of the Democratic State Committee, who is oppos - ing Governor Neville. ' -. CHARLES W. BRYAN, former Mayor of Lincoln and brother of William J. Bryan, who, by the way, has the first time since he was a candidate for the presidency, neglected to come to Ne braska during the campaign to help the Demo cratic Party. ' i'-.v ' J Charles Bryan has this to say of his former asso ciates who have succeeded in bringing a once proud and victorious party to the verge of a suw'defeat: "During theN past three weeks the Hitchcock-Mul-len-Gooch machine have been accusing the republic an candidate for governor of soliciting the votes and support of the non-partisan league and has again branded the farmers' -organization aa being un patriotic and unfriendly to democratic institutions , and injurious to the welfare of the people of the state. While the gqvernor, has been publicly crit icising the members of the non-partisan league and appealing for the support of all those who were prej udiced against the farmers' organization on the' ground that it was disloyal, the governor's official campaign committee, it would appear, have been making an heroic effort to secure the votes of ,tha "members of the non-partisan league for the gov ernor's candidacy. "The substantial farmers of. Nebraska who are members of the non-partisan league are either good, patriotic Nebraska citizens or they are not. If the Hitchcock-Mullen-Gooch.. machine were honest and sincere when they denouncecTthe farmers of Ne braska as disloyal and pro-German, the said Hitch " cock-Mullen-Gooch machine are dishonest and in sincere now when they try to secure the votes of tha farmers who belong to the non-partisan league for the governor's candidacy or they are trying to se cure unpatriotic votes for their candidate. "If the governor honestly believes that the farm ers of Nebraska, who are members of the non-partisan league are disloyal and undesirable citizens and has been soliciting votes for that reason of all those who share his views regarding the non-par-tison league, he surely could not have possibly known of any effort that his committee may have been making to secure, bribe or buy the votes in the non-partisan league to support his candidacy. If the governor does not want to be re-elected to of fice by what he has called unpatriotic and disloyal votes, he cannot afford to be a party to the work thahis committee seems to be engaged In. It is certainly as dishonorable, disloyal and unpatriotic to attempt to buy or bargain for unpatriotic arid disloyal votes as it is to be disloyal aid unpatriotic. The democrats of Nebraska cannot' afford to be daubed with the mire that the Hitchcock-Mullen-Gooch machine seems to be wallowing in; neither can the democrats of Nebraska afford to have s candidate for the position of chief executive of the state mixed up in what seems to be an effort to se cure the patriotic, loyal vote through public appeals while at the same time trying to secure the so-called unpatriotic and disloyal votes through means and methods that are beneath the dignity of any great party which has led the progressive movement in securing all the moral and progressive legislation that has been accomplished in the last twenty years." i Mr. Bryan then calls upon the Governor to repu diate the men who have brought about the undoing of the Democratic Party and calls upon all true Dem ocrats to protest to Governor Neville against his longer cohabiting with the Machine which has doomed the Democratic Party to defeat.
