Nebraska: "Now that the women have the rote, let us remember the importance of supporting those candidates who are known for their friendliness to what we want to accomplish in mat ters of legislation and law enforce ment. , . "Governor McKelvie. who is ranrlirlat for re-elertiort. has alw.IVS been a strong supporter of suffrage. tie voted tor it m ine icgismurc of which he was member in 191 1. His newspaper, the Nebraska ' Farmer, has always supported it. He worked for it in the campaign in the state two years ago. He encouraged the , legislature in 1919 to send a resolu tion to Senator Hitchcock urging him to support it. And. finally, he called a special session of the legis lature to ratity the federal suttrage amendment. Just as Favorable. ''The question of prohibition is of equal interest and importance to. the women of the state. Upon this is aue, Governor McKelvie s record is just as favorabJe as it is on suffrage "He was elected to the legislature in 1911 on a county option platform and supported that measure through out the entire session. He worked for it as one of the speakers in the state campaign in which it was adopt ed in Nebraska. He made it one of the features of the campaign in whkh he was elected governor. The first measure passed by the 1919 ses sion of the legislature, under Gov ernor McKelvie, was the resolution ratifying national prohibition. "As a law enforcement official, Governor McKelvie's record is par ticularly commendable. During his administration, fines totaling more than a quarter of a million dollars have been collected and turned into the school fund. "Realizing, that a woman would take a sympathetic interest in the state's dependents, he appointed a woman to membership n the board of control. This is the first time a woman has held such a position. "This letter sets forth things that Governor McKelvie has actually dcie. They recommend him as the candidate who is ..entitled to our support. It is not necessary for us t to depend, in this election, upon promises made by any candidate; Governor McKelvie '.has already proved himself a friend of our cause, j and the man upon whom we can rely for the character of legislation and law enfdrcement in which wom en are most interested."

G.O. P. Speaker and Democrat Debate Charles - A. Sunderlin of Omaha and C. J. Campbell Discuss League of Nations. Lincoln, . Neb., Oct. 28. (Special Telegram.) Under the auspices of the republican and democratic central committees, Charles A. Sun derlin, Omaha attorney, and C. T. Campbell met here last night m a joint debate on the league of na tions. Campbell in his opening ad dress contended the. nations 9? the world were in favor of a league of peace and for the arbitration of na tional differences. .Sunderlin in answer to Campbell admitted that the peoples of the world were in favor of a league or association of nations to promote peace, and. submitted that the republican party and the re publican nominee were just as en thusiastically , in favor of an or ganization, association or league to promote peace as the democratic party. He contended that during the war republican leaders, such as Hughes and Taft, as the head of great peace organizations had done more to pro mote the peace of the world than the democratic leaders. Sunderlin then said that organization for the peace of the world which the American people favored was not the Wilson league of nations. The American people are in favor of an association to promote" peace said Sunderlin, but they are opposed to the com mercial and, political alliance as pro posed in the Wilson covenant. "Under the Wilson covenant," said Sunderlin, "America shall be re quired to maintain with her blood and treasure the old world empires and all their imperial possessions and America will become but a pawn on the chess board of European di plomacy. "The opportunity for the growth of free institutions and governments thai! have been smothered by Article X of the covenant, and the struggling masses of the world seek ing political equality and indepen dence through the application of the principle of self determination shall New Subscription Rates The Omaha Bee By mail inside the Fourth Postal Zone .

Ticket The" republican and democratic county central committees are put ting the finishing tquches on the lo cal campaign, which is developing into an embryonic 'whirlwind Unish," although the political zephyrs are not doing any particular damage. ' Most of the electors of Douglas county have "made up their minds." as to how they will exercise their elective franchise next Tuesday. Those who study the political situa tion and who discuss the candidates and issues are busy obtaining rex- pressions of sentiment and then crystallizing these expressions into their own composite opinions. Box Their Compass. The republican leaders have "boxed their compass," as. they ex press it nautically, and are steering straight for their goal, confident that they have presented their Case on the' basis of merit and equally confident of the outcome. The democrats hereabouts are making the most of what they con cede to be a forlorn hope. The slo gan being promoted from demo cratic headquarters is, "It looks better than it did.' Willis E. Reed, prominent state democrat, was asked yesterday what he had on his mind politi cally., ' , f "Three months ago," he said, "I didn't think we had a ghost of a show and six weeks ago it began to look brighter, while today ,it looks as if Cox had a chance." Variations of the same expression were heard from other democrats, but none was able to offer an an alysis of his claims. ' An unbiased survey of the politi cal situation in Douglas county in dicates that Harding and Coolidge will carry the county by 8,000 to 10,000, and 50,000 is n'ow pace"d as a conservative majority for the state.

Ure wishes to im press upon the minds of voters the importance of exercising care when voting a straight party ticket At the top of the first column of the ballot there fare four party circles for straight votes. Beneath vthose party circles a,re circles for the presidential candidates. Don't Make Mistake. "If you interfd to vote a straight republican ticket, be sure that you place the cross within the proper party circle and do hot make the mistake of placing , a cross in the Harding-Coolidge circle and 4ben think you have .voted a straight party ticket," said Mr. Ure, county chairman.'

The cause for the falling of prices in grain is handled in addresses deliv ered by ex-Congressman Charles H. Sloan in different parts of the state, and in an address delivered at Ge neva, he said: "I find the farmers of the Repub lican valley, like the farmersgener ally throughout the state, deeply in terested in the tumbling course of prices of not only their grain, but their herds. Many causes are sug gested, but one has been uniformly given in all the market papers. Some of these are of a political nature, but one is found in the market col umns of every daily, as well as the agricultural and stock papers. They point to the actual and potential flow of grains from Canada; the cargoes of corn and mutton pointed this way from Argentina, and boat loads or butter from Denmark. The farmers of Nebraska understand caue and effect, and they see the effect of this foreign competition re sulting from importation here of all grains, meats and cereals without the payment of any duty. "It will 'interest the farmers of Nebraska to know that in 1911 the question of free grains from Can ada and free meats and cereals from the world were before the American congress, and that Presidential Can- Make a Full Pint With home-made sugar syrup and MENTHO - LAXENE The best and quickest acting COUGH SYRUP Full directions on each bottle Every Dollar You Put Into an EMERSON 'yields one hundred cents of value.
