6 A THIS OMAHA SUNDAY BuE: NOVEMBER 10, 1918. I'- . DEBTS OF TODAY BOTHER DEMOS AS BILLSJILE UP Have $2,000 to Pay for Elec tion Efforts; "Strong Box" Shows Very Dilapidated Condition. ' From a Staff Correspondent. . Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9. (Special) There is no joy around demo cratic state headquarters. Not even the fact that democrats qf Lincoln elected a police' judge, brings the faintest smile to the democratic committee. Of course, the demo cratic state committee had nothi to do, with the election of a police judge, in the city of Lincoln, and perhaps that is the reason that Judge Whitmore was elected. Any how he is the sole survivor of the "storm." But there was something else that the committee contributed to even if they had no part in the election of a police judge. They have1 a debt left on their hands of something like $2,000 for which they can claim sole credit, with no thought ot any of the glory of such a condition e ing taken from them by the repub licans. The republicans are per fectly satisfied with the ofhces and the democrats are welcome to the debts as their share of the poltical battle. The republican commitee comes out of the battle with a snug little sum on the right side of the ledger and might be prevailed' upon to contribute something to the dem ocratic committee as a little testi monial of the appreciation of the part Colonel Sprague and the rest 1,t of the democratic machine con ' tribtited to the success of the re- publican ticket. ;J When the condition of the demo cratic. treasury was brought 'to the attention of Charlie Bryan with a request that any donation he might " make would be received with thanks, even if it did come trom a free" democrat, Mr. Bryan smiled ' "out loud," called for his check book and trusty fountain pen and wrote put a check for $25, which check "now reposes in the strong box of : the democratic committee with oth er mementoes calling for assistance. ! Does Howard Know? It has not yet been given out by the democratic committee whether they have notified Lieutenant Gov ernor Howard of the dilapidated condition of the democratic strong box. Governor Howard just before the election started something in ' the direction of the committee which must have landed and it might be that he would now come across with a check also. Perhaps when Sergeant-at-Arms J. E. Evans, who was paid $30 by Chairman Sprague to corral W. J. ( Taylor and the rest of the Custer county non-partisan leaguers into the Neville corral, hears that the committee pt which he was once an honored emissary is in such dire distress he' may return to them t7? $30 paid him to corral something he was unable to drive in the direc tion indicated by the chairman of the committee. In the meantime democrats who refuse to be comforted by the fact that they elected a police judge, are charging the election of republicans to "Hun counties, which voted the republican ticket." If their dope on the situation is correct there are about 80 "Hun" counties in Nebraska. However, as the situation reveals itself it is dis covered that there are some Irish counties and some Swede counties, some Bohemian counties and some Norwegian counties, and quite a number of American counties which gave republican majorities this year. . whije Douglas county, the home of the Hitchcock-Mullen machine, now so badly wrecked, came out of the battle pretty much republican, also.

GERMANY MUST YIELDHT ONCE, IS FRENCH VIEW Paris Press Expresses Opinion That Teuton Empire V Capitulate to Allies Before Monday. Faris, Nov. 9. French opinion, which is remarkably restrained and conservative, is unanimous in the view that Germany will capitulate between now and Monday. There is no tendency to exagger ate happenings in Germany, but it is felt that the Germans have had enough to make it imperative for the government to make peace at the earliest possible "moment. M. Copies, writing in the Figaro, fairly sums up the views of all edi torial writers when he says: "The details of revolutionary movements in Germany are lacking, but we learn enough from hour to hour to feel already thatNthey are neither superficial or fictitious. n-Do they contain deep set revolution? are they but riots due to the reac tion of the defeat? wnat authority does the republic proclaimed at Munich possess? These are questions which concern Germany alone." - Sentenced to Pen for Passing "Bum" Checks Fremont, Neb., Nov. 9.
