HITCHCOCK 'AGAIN
SCORED BY BRYAN
IN LIQUOR ISSUE
Week-End Statement Given
Out by Commoner From
Pender, Neb., Contains
- ' Old Arguments.
i
Senator Hitchcock is a westerns
man with eastern ideas and is now
, seeking to nullify national and state
prohibition amendments by licens
ing wine and beer, according to a
week-end statement issued by W. J.
Bryan at Tender, Neb. Mr. Bryan
further charges that the senator
' dodges all of the important issues
of the campaign. v
Mr. Bryan's statement follows in
'full: -
mocratic voters of Ne
braska. The difference between
Senator Hitchcock and myself are
not personal. They are political in
natur and fundamental fn their na
ture. Since he urged the nomination
of Wall street versus candidate in
1912 he has obeyed the command of
Wall street whenever Wall street
needed him, as for instance when he
opposed the president's currency
c bill, the president's shipping bill' to
regulate the stock exchange, and
when he lavored the railroad bill dic
tated by the railroad ruaguates.
' Fighting Wall Street.
"He is a western man with eastern
ideas. I have fought Wall street
and have been fought by Wall street
for the past 25 years. He has op
posed prohibition in Nebraska and
in the nation even to the extent of
defying the state of Nebraska and
misrepresenting its people.
"I have helped 'to win the fight for
prohibition in the state and nation.
He now seeks'to nullify the national
and state amendments by the licens
ing of wine and beer. I am op
posed to any reopening of the liquor
question in the state or nation. He
opposed woman suffrage in the state
and in the senate. I favored woman
s suffrage in both state arid nation. He
advocated ratification of the treaty
for eight months and then voted
agafhst ratification because he op
posed the resewations agreed upon
by 5? of the 79 senators who fa
vored ratification. I favored ratifica
tion without reservations while that
seemed possible and favored ratifica-
tion with reservations when it be
came apparent that ratification was
impossible without reservations.
' Wants Partisan Campaign.
"He now wants to make the treaty
a partisan campaign issue with him
self as the candidate., I think such
a delay in ratification wouldVbe a
y crime against our , nation ana the
woTtd. I believe that our' nation
alone can prevent a renewal of the
war and that partisanship is inex
cusable in the presence of such an
appalling possibility. Mr, Hitchcock
dodges all the important issues of
the campaign. I have endeavored to
present them fairly and fully. He
seeks the, empty honor of an en
dorsement by the state tha he has
betrayed into the hands of the
moneychangers and the liquor in
terests. -I aspire to a delegate posi
tion which will enable me to con
tinue the service which for a quarter
of a century I have tried to render
to the common people of Nebraska
and the United States.
"WILLI AI JENNINGS BRYAN."

were plainly in desperation as the
week wore on, displaying a lavish
activity. Particularly in Omaha
there developed a belief 4hat the
contest lay between Pershing and
Johnson. ( j v
McMUllen Profits.1
For republican governor, the race
apparently lav "between McKelvie,
McMullen, Pollard and Hall. Mc
Mullen was due to profit by a com
bination of conversative and pro
gressive leaders in Douglas county,
but on the other hand, Pollardjvas
touted to get the labor vote inthis
county. Hall, with little strength
in Douglas county, claimed to be
in fine shape out-state. Governor
McKelvie, in Omaha after a -tour
of the state, declared confidence
that his record during the last two
years would be endorsed.
Politicians forecasted that Charles
McCloud of York would give Na
tional Committeeman R. B. Howell
a harder run for re-election than
tha,t Omahan has had in either of
his two former campaigns.
Women to Save Bryan
' On the democratic side of the
fence campaign followers antici
pated? the election of a majority of
the Hitchock ticket for the national
convention, with the probability that
William' Jennings -Bryan himself
would bVeak through the opposition
slate. They based this largely on
the belief that the women would
give Bryan sufficient backing to
save him from defeat sucji as he
suffered in 1916.
Former Governor Morehead, run-
.
T
ning for nomination for a third
term, was counted upon to defeat
both the Hitchcock candidate,
Radph Clark, and the Bryan prefer
ence, George Jackson, former
speaker of the lower legislative
house. National Committeeman
Arthur Mullen was forecasted as
almost 'certain to win re-eleclion
over W. H. Thompson of Gand
Island, the Bryan choice.
Comparatively little Interest was
evident in the Douglas county leg
islative ticket, on either republican
or democratic sides. On the county
ticket the more aggressive contests
lay in the republican primary for
nominations for county commission
ers, county assessor and public de
fender. T. F. Stroud and E. G.
Solomon were making a vigorous
campaign forv county commissioner
in their respective districts, oppos
ing the use of county paving money

ONE looks to4he house of Bergdorf -Goodman
for the original in frocks and gowns, suits
, arid accessories, so when they announce that the
' corset upon which they build their striking crea
tions is the Redfern Corset, one can be assured
that the secret of the modern silhouette lies in
Redfern corseting!
Bergdorf-Goodman are not alone in choosinrr
the Redfern Corset for, their mannequins-Joseph
and Monsieur Tappe, equally well known as fash
ion creators, have both publicly expressed their
preference for it! , .
. You would'be surprised at what a Redfern Cor
set can do without repressing the figure in uncom
fortable rigidity! The boning is light and flex- '
ible, but so well placed that hips become slender,
,the back modishly flat, and the body well poised,
lithe arid graceful! -
Foi) the tob-slender figure, Redfern corseting
is just as effective! Angles are smoothed into
-boyish lines; a too-long or too-short waist' gives
way to correct proportions, and you never find a
Redfern Corset protruding in back when you
bend your body forward-it is cut to. fit the figure
for which it is djesigned.
. Special attention has ,been given the Redfern
models for growing-girls. Future charm and
, grace depends upon the attention given the figure
-wjlile imrnature; and these Redfern Corsets are
l designed especially to give perfett freedom and
at the, same time mold the figure into smooth,
flowing, lines of grace.
Our expert corsetieres will be glad to see that
you are carefully fitted in the especial Redfern
"model designed for your type of figure.
