"I want to give you the view of
a roan who voted the democratic
ticket for 28 vears." Colonel Maher
said, "and who his year will vote.;
the republican ticket Irom top to
bottom. The covenant of the league
of nations is the most , infamous
document ever framed. Any man
who was overseas, and I was there,
is certain to want to end the curse
of war. I say this document of
Woodrow Wilson means endless
bloodshed to uphold its many
wrongs. You and your children will
have to give your blood and money
to carry on conflicts in all parts of
the world if Mr. Cbx is elected
president."
Wilson League Would Rob
"ation of Its Freedom
Central City, Neb., Sept. 18. (Spe
cial Telegram.)-!-" We are in the
heart of the greatest campaign since
the Civil war," Raymond Robins
told crowds here this morning and
at Columbus this afternoon. "The
United States constitution and the
right of the American people to liv
their own lives in their own way
free from control by any foreign "as
sembly, such as the league of na
tions, is at stake. Senator Harding
and the republican party stand fo
America first and America free.
Mr. Robins, who is a famous war
relief worker and was chairman of
the progressive national convention
that nominated ineodore Kooseveit,
characterized the league covenant as
not a humanitarian peace-making
document, but a pact to bind th
United States to serve the bankrupt
nations of Europe in their imperial
laui;, sciiiatj anna.
Hoped For Justice.
He is filling the engagements of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., who
was called back to a special session
of the New York legislature, as per
haps the closest friend of Theodore
Roosevelt. He is presenting the
oroBxessive view of the national is
sues to crowds whose enthusiasm de
t.otes certain republican success in
Nebraska.
"In common with the majority of
the men and women in this audience
and in this city and state and nation
I hoped for a treatyot justice that
wou d make for oeace and restora
tion of th normal life of the people
of Europe from the council Icham
hers of Paris." he said.
"I a so hooed with all fair-minded
men and women everywhere that
there mitrht he some agreement, as
sociation. call it what you will, ot
the free peoples of the world that
would srive some reasonable guaran
tee aarainst another catastrophe such
as that one which has just bathed
the world in blood.

in the French capital assumed the
character of a treaty of vengeful
force and economic imperialism con
taining the seeds ot tuture wars
more than any similar convention in
the history of the world.
A Military Alliance.
"The league of nations appeared
under analysis not as a league of
peace to free peoples to serve hu
manity, but i effect a military alii
ance that would put the men and
money of America under obligations
to serve bankrupt governments in
maintaining the economic imperial
ism of European diplomacy."
Mr. Robins spoke of the Shantung
provisions as betrayal of American
policy in the prient. He urged spe
ciai attention to tne laDor article in
the treaty of Versailles and charged
that its provisions amounted to
surrender of the superior economic
standards of American labor. He
explained the provisions of that arti-
cla citing the fact that Great Britain
had 24 votes to America's four in the
labor council under the treaty of
Versailles .and that the total number
of votes in that council would be 128,
of (which America would have only
four.
Limitation on Free Speech.
He emohasized the fact that the
provision of the Clayton act, called
by Mr. Gompers the "magna charta
of American labor," which provided
that the labor of a human being is
not a commodity or 'article of com
merce, had been amended by the se
cret council in Paris to read "that the
labor of a human being is not merely
a commodity or article of commerce"
and the further fact that Mr, Gom
pers' bill of rights of American labor
which contained declarations against
invpluntary servitude limiting child
labor and other provisions in accor
dance with American labor standards
was overwhelmingly beaten on the1
final vote.
, Mr. Robins took Bp the question
of constitutional guarantees provid
ing for free speech, free press and
the right of peaceful assemblage. He
discussed the organs and limitations
of the second constitutional rights 1
and denounced the violation of con
stitutional guarantees by Attorney
General Palmer and Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson.
Discusses H. C. L.
He referred with appreciation to
the admirable declarations on this
subject contained in Senator Har
ding's speech of acceptance.) -
Mr. Robins also discussed the high
cost of living, devoting his remarks
to four elements involved in the
. present high cost of the necessaries
of life. These he defined as, first,
domestic" profiteering; second, ex
travagance in governmental expendi
tures; third, European economic im
perialism and taxe$ for international
bankers and, fourth, the economic
deficit due to the waste and destruc
tion of the World war.
He denounced the democratic ad
ministration as having proven utterly
powerless to protect the people from
the profiteers. He spoke of our hav
ing suffered eight years "of gestures
and promises and said that we were
now offered four years more of a
similar diet.
Cites Prices in Australia.
He referred to the prices of food
and clothing in the commonwealth
of Australia and cited the following
list of prices generally prevailing
there 90 days ago:
Refined sugar, 7 cents a pound;
best cuts of beef, 18 cents a pound;,
mutton, 13 cents a pound; pork, 30
cents a pound; potatoes, 4 cents a
pound; onions, 5 cents a pound; two
pound loaf, of bread, 9 cents; all
wool custom-made suits, $35.
He said that this low cost of liv
ing in Australia was due to govern
ment's safeguarding adopted there at
the beginning of the war. He re
ferred to Senator Harding's pledge
against profiteering, quoting from
i.r. 1. u : ,11 ,:..r
ity we promise the prevention of un
reasonable ' orofits. . We s challenge
profiteering with all the l-oral force
and the legal powers of government
and people." ,
First Week of King
Ak's Reign Is Over
social event and most splendid pa
geant 1
Today a large list of new attrac
tions will arrive at the carnival
grounds and this place of merrymak
iirg will be in' full blast all this week,
starting tomorrow.
"Who will be the king of 'Ak-Sar-Bcn
and who will be his lovely
consort, the queen.?"
Who Will Be Crowned.
These are questions that are fore
most in everybody's mind except in
the minds of the king and queen
themselves and a few of the inner
circle of the, court of Ak-Sar-Ben,
who know.
This secret will not become known
to the general public of the kingdom
ol Uuivera until the night of the
coronation. For it is a tradition of
the realm which saith that these two
questions shall not be answered until
the coronation of the new monarch
and his queen; : And even the ladies
of the court, who know for days or
weeks ahead, have never been known
to tell. Thus do they belie the an
cient proverb which saith that if thou
wouldst keep a secret tell it not to
a woman.

The state of Nebraska purchased the
Benkleman fish hatcnery for $7,500
from Harry Runyon. it consists of
33 acres of land with springs, ponds,

Congressman flays
Democrats for Waste
Lincoln, Sept. 18. (Special.)
The democratic administration has
spent and wasted over $300,000,000
a year. Congressman Frank Reavis
charged in an address before the
Lincoln Harding-Coolidge club.
The speaker urged a treaty in
stead of a league of nations. -"A
league of nations is not the issue of
the campaign. The issue of the cam
paign is to restore the government
to the people and get rid of Wood
row WilsOn as quick as God will let
us," he said. , - '
"It will take 100 years to appraise
the damage that was brought upon
tlu United States by Woodrow Wil
son," Congressman Reavis declared.
Mr. Reavis charges that President
Wilson, through his actions and by
various stands during the war,
gained for the United States the
enmity of several of the argest of
th-? European countries. 1
Again flaying the democratic par
ty, Congressman Reavis said that in
nominating FranklinD. Rocjsevelt,
the democrats merefy nominated a
"name" for vice president

Prepare for Coronation.
In the den there is ceaseless ac
tivity by hundreds of workmen and
actors in the great coronation spec
tacle. The coronation of King Ak-
Sar-Ben XXVI is to be a scene sur
passing in splendor any previous
coronation, it is said. Those who
have seen the wonders of costuming
ind staging of previous coronations
profess not to see how this is possible.
The first parade this year will be
electrical, the parade of 10,000 in
candescents, which will move
through 'the streets Wednesday
