He will speak Wednesdaytit Weeping Water, Louisville and Springfield, closing the iy at the Hottl.Eontcnclle, Omaha, where he will 'appear before the' Douglas CountyRepuMicauxlub by invitation. 11 '' yv. The meeting here was tten4ed by nearly 500. Krnest.'M. i'bllard. of Mehawka, formet 'congressman, de livcred a brief preliminary talk in which ' he reviewed the democratic national administration. He asserted that it behooves the people to inves tigate the record ot , the party m power. His words in opposition to the Wilson league of nations aroused hearty applause Mr. Tollard introduced Governor McKelvie, who began his talk on national issues, asserting that in. his jelief a large majority of the women 'A this country will vote against the Wilson, league next month. "Why is it that the democratic party appears discredited after the greatest war in our history?" the governor asked. "Because of deceit that was imposed upon the people," he replied. "There is a call today for courageous men and that is why the people are flocking to the repub- lican party." Campaign of Principles. The governor m submitting his tandidacy for re-election referred to jseveral state issues. "We are waging a campaign of principle," he said. We chalknge the opposition to choose their own ground and we will meet their arguments with facts and with figures. It has been said," he continued, "that there was as much money spent by the state adminis tration during the last two years as was spent during four years under Morehead. This means absolutely nothing. It is not how much was spent, but what it was spent for that really counts. "The governor referred to im provements at the state university, normal schools, state institutions and the state road building program. He explained that .work on the new state capitol building will not be started until costs have been re duced. He asserted that be has conducted a business' admkiistratioa and that expenditures have been eco nomically made.1 In his' deWnse of the civil administrative . code he stated there will be a saving of $150, 000 under the appropriations for the last two years as against a deficit of $300,000 during the previous two years' period. , Denies Wholesale Releases. ' ? "We are going to h&ve the civii . administrative code in this state no matter who should be elected," he said. "You may have obtained a.i impression from certain sources that there has been a wholesale re lease of prisoners from the state penitentiary," he added. "Why, a misguided democrat yesterday stated that he did not believe there were .any prisoners left in the penitentiary When I went into office there were 283 prisoners and today there are 500." ' He quoted figures to show that more pardons and furloughs were issued by Morehead and Neville than during any corresponding period of time. He added that "Kirk has been returned to the . penitentiary and that has nearly rbined the demo cratic campaign " The governor '.said that he has discontinued issu ing furloughs, explaining that he ! had been following a democratic Diplomat Arrested By Policewoman JjiMMinTr-ffii-mTWDWjrini,.

Bassett Rancher Admits Killing Rich Bachelor Mystery of Man Missing for Two Months Solved When Body Is Found In Deserted Cellar. Bassett, Neb., Oct. 13. (Special.) Floyd Wick, ranches, 24, yesterday confessed that he shot and killed Clyde Patterson, a wealthy bachelor ranchman living south of here, Au gust 15. He claims that he shot in self-defense. The confession clears up a mys tery which has baffled authorities 1 here since the disappearance of Pat terson. The body of Patterson was un earthed by Sheriff Joe Leonard yes terday in the cellarway of the Pat terson ranch home. The Wick family were the near est neighbors of Patterson. They live two and a half miles from the Patterson home. Wick first attracted suspicion to himself when he said that he knew Patterson was in Colorado because he" had received a letter from him in regard to the sale of a bunch of cat tle which-Wick said that he had purchased. Last week a 'prairie fire raged near Bassett. It was believed to have been started from the Patterson ranch, and it was thought that the body of Patterson had been burned up in a haystack in the path of the flames. Later the sheriff exploded this theory and went with the county at torney, Curtis Wick, and a brother of Patterson, to search the Patterson cellar, where they found the body. Wick said in his confession that, he and Patterson had been hunting August 15 and re'turncd to the Pati terson home, when he went Out to get a bucket of water. Patterson shot at him, but missed him, he said. He then crept around and got his shotgun and shot Patterson, he said. He took Patterson's watch and Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13. (Spcci.il.) Extravagance charges again t the present state administration by the democratic candidate tor governor are exposed in a statement made public today by C A. McCloud, chairman of the republican state cen tral committee on taxation. 'The democratic candidate for governor, and those interested m his election, are charging extravagance to the present. state, administration, and are trying to mislead the voters on the auestion' of the appropriations cf the last legislature and taxation, compared with former years," as set tj Mr. McC'oud. The statement: ' One thing stands, out prominently in the deception th.il is sought to be practiced by the democrats in the figures they use; they wholly disre gard the fact that the increased ap propriations of th? last legislature are largely for new activities .and to meet federal aid. In the ma'ter of federal aid, the stat; receives 51 from the federal government tor every dollar of state money spent. Good Roads Money. To the matter of Rood roads alone the aonrooriations of tne last lcgis- ir were over $3,000,000. while Hnrino- thi administration of the Homnrratir candidate for four years not one cent was appropriated for this purpose. The appropriation for the university and normal scnoois for this biennium represents an in crease of one and one-third million rfnllars over the last previous bien niiim. For the maintenance of the state institutions, the increased ap- for this biennium amount to nearly $500,000. and for the new capitol building, an entirely new activity, the appropriation for this biennium is practically $i,ou, 000 Now the ciueston is, does the democratic candidate for governor seek to de hberatelv mislead the peo ole. or is it his intention to abandon the road building program that is so well under way in the state, em barrass the development of the state nnivprsitv and normal schools, neg lect the unfortunate dependents of the state in the various state institu tions and discontinue the raising of a tuna tor tne Duuaing ot a new state capitol? These are questions that the democratic candidate ought to answer directly, for the increased appropriations for the present bien nium. aside from these activities, are onlv about $500,000. The exact fig ures covering these total increases are as follows: To meet federal aid: Roads $3,093,262.00 Vocational education . . . 100.000.00 Bovine tuberculosis .... 75.000.00 Hog cholera 15,000.00 Social hygiene ........

"We need ' tolerance and adequate law enforcement." Wife of IL. P.

' Lillian Russell, Famous Actress, Not to Speak Here Lillian Russell, famous American actress, in the role of a politician, will not enter Nebraska on her speaking tour in behalf of the re publican party, according to an nouncement today by Mrs. R.

" The purpose of these confe'rences is to unify inimal disease control work for the benefit of the Nebraska live stock industry. Crop Failures Blow To Live Stock Industry Partial crop failures for the last 'few years and the high cost of stock production, together with slock loss es, have brqught about a serous con dition in the 'cattle raising industry, according to the survey of the farm situation in Omaha trade territory made by H. F. Mcintosh, manager of the agricultural department of the Chamber of Commerce, at the re quest of J- David Larson, commis sioner of the Chamber of Commerce. A good wheat crop, with the n heat market still relatively good, is re ported. The unprecedented bumper corn crop will serve as a basis for restoring and expanding the live stock industry of the farms, ;t is stated. . Sugar" beet and potato crops r.re declared to be good. Though dairy production was below noftnal in the spring, it later went above the aver age on account of better feeding conditions. Total $3,309,187.00 Against this amount should be fig ured $661,000 which was appropriated by the 1917 legislature to meet fed eral aid, thus leaving a total increase for this purpose of ?,64S, 187.00. Increased appropriations for edu cation, state institutions and capi tol: State university $ 995.364.29 State normals 420,457.88 For maintenance of state institutions 498,668.61 For state capitol 1,707,268,12 Total increase for the foregoing enumerated branches $6,269,945.00 This amount covers almost the en tire amount for the increased ap propriations of the last legislature.

She is survived by her husband, B. A. Burzett. BIG ULCER ALL HEALED 'Now I Can Walk," Says Mr. ""Southcott of Medina. "Here is another letter that makes me happy." says Peterson, of Buffalo. "One that I would rather have than a thousand 1 dollars. "Money Isn't everything in this world. There is many a b:t hearted, rich man who would Rive all he has on earth to be able to produce a remedy with such mighty healing power as Peterson's Ointment, to sell at all druggists for 60 cents a large box." Read this letter, written February 11, 1918. by Mrs. Albert Southcott. of Medina, K. Y . It seems like a miracle, but it is true, every word of it. I know it because I get similar letters almost every day from people who have used my ointment for old sores, ecssma and piles , Is it any wonder I am happy 1 ' Peterson Ointment Co., Inc., Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sirs: "I was an untold sufferer from an old running sore and ulcers. I had tried most evarything without any relief from pnin. A friend told me of your wonderful oint ment and the first box took away the pain that had not left me before in years, and after using just nine dollars worth of the salve I am cured. The ulcer was 9 inches by Vt inches, is all healed and I can walk. Never, never will I be without Peterson's again. "You may use this to recommend your ointment if you wish. I cannot say enough to praise it." Yours truly. Mrs. A I bar t Southcott, Medina, N. Y. Mail orders filled by Peterson Ointment Co., Inc.. Buffalo, N. Y. Sherman A MeConnell Drug Co. will supply you.

The voters of the state know that this is a very small increase for the operation of the state government, in view of the increasd cost of all commodities and labor since 1918. " Won't Deceive Voters. There is also an increase in the receipts from fees, cash funds and special license taxes, nearly all of which is accounted for in the regis tration fee of automobiles, and this, less 5 per cent for administration, is expended for road improvement m the county in which the fee is paid. Just one more fact: Assuming that the democratic candidate might be able to reduce appropriations somewhat by hampering many un portant state activities, and assum ine that the reduction might amount j to as much as 10 per cent on the Uiui appropriations, ur a nine inure than $1,500,000: it must be borne in mind that only 19 cents out. of each tax dollar goes to the state, so this 10 per cent would have to be figured on only. 19 per cent of the taxpayers entire tax bill, and tak ing as an illustration the one who- pays S100 taxes, the saving would be $1.90. That is what the demo crat candidate for governor is offer ing for votes. I cannot believe that the voters of Nebraska are so credulous that the distorted and de ceptive figures of the democratic candidate will mislead them, but you may be sure that every effort will be made in the state, just as it is being nade in the national campaign, to attract the attention of the people away from the real issues and ignore the substantial facts that should de termine the results of every politi cal campaign.
