Douglas County
G, 0. P. Launches
Speaking Drive
Republican Crusaders Spread
ing Gospel of Americaniza
tion and Pointing Out
Weak Spots In League.
f
The Douglas County Republican
:Iub started its county-wide speak
. tig drive last night with three au
tomobiles laden with some of the
est local talent.
These republican crusaders spoke
last nii;ht at Twenty-fourth street
end Antes avenue. Fifteenth and
Douglas and at Twenty-fourth anfl
N streets. The speakers were Ben
S. Baker, Joseph Uvick, Hird Stryk
er, Henry Beal, S. Arion Lewis,
Harry Palmer, Thomas Holister, J.
?. McDermott, T. J. McGuire and
Raymond Crossman.
This front line of speakers will be
increased during the week. A staff
of 30 speakers has been enlisted by
Clinton Broine, chairman of the
committee.
These Omaha men are giving their
time and talent to promote a cause in
whjth they believe. They are not
being paid for this service, which
they believer's a patriotic duty.
Last night they outlined the pro
gressive policies of Harding and
Cooiidge and the republican plat
form. They explained in the broad
sense that this tountry at this time
needs the constructive help of the
republican party to put the ship on
an f ven keel again. They showed
wherein the Wilson, league of na
tions is not being approved by the
rank and file of people and thev ex
plained that the league ' as offered
y the president is growing less
'popular every day, because the more
he people read and think of it the
more they are convinced that this
country should be wary of entang
ling alliances. '
' Mr. McDermott, one of the speak
ers last night, will address the Lions
club at the Rome hotel next Tues
day noon. He was in the service
overseas and he will tell the club
why he does not favor the Wilson
league of nations.

We do this knowing that on these particular
goods it means a loss to us. We do not take this
course under the guise of philanthropy. We feel
that it is good business. It is the Brandeis policy
to give benefits tp Brandeis' customers without
quibble at every opportunity and in ihis, as, in
other particulars, the Brandeis policypays.

Below we quote a list of some of the staplf
items that can be secured at great reductions.
' : These low prices may not prevail indefinite
ly, inasmuch as we are told" that these mills, in or
der to get in business, have quoted prices that
are lower than the cost of material and labor will
justify; that to stimulate business, mills in some
instances are willing to operate even on a slight
loss. .
Therefore, we are not in a position to guar

these greatly reduced prices.
