If
"Cori and Peace"
Is No Surprise
oG. O.P.Here
'Thty Reminds Me," W. G.
Ure ironically Comments on
Denoa New Slogan on
Party Ticket.
Republican leaders of this county
were; not surprised yesterday morn
ing hen they read a circular letter
addressed by the county democratic
-4 candidates' organization, signed bv
I Hester Bronson Copper, and bein;
J an appeal to the women to support
the league of nations.
The last lines of the circular
reads! -
"A vote for Harding is a vote for
war. .
"A vote for Cox is a vote for
peace."
"This reminds me," said W. G.
Ure, republican county chairman,"
: of the occasion when Vice President
Tom Marshall spoke in the Brahdeis
theater four years ago for Wilson
and the democratic cause. It may
be remembered that the vice presi
dent's closing words of his Omaha
speech were:
Not Surprised.
"Which do yoti want, Wilson and
peace, or Hughes and war?"
Charles H. Sloan of Geneva, Neb.,
former congressman, visited friends
here this morning, haying just com
pleted a speaking tour of the state.
He was not surprised that the dem-,
ocrats here should promote another
.slogan similar to the "he kept us
. .out of war" of four years ago. He
m'' asserted that the women of Nebras
ka have been growing more and
more convinced that their interests
and that the interests of their coun
try would not be conserved by sup
porting the Wilson league of na-
ons, 1 :
One Died Overseas.
"Take my own case." he said.
'We had three sons itl the world

I Mr. Moan believes that tne aemo-
crats have gathered all the strength
they are able to muster to their
standard and they are now making
a last desperate stand. , He-referred
to Governor Cox's recent statement,

reach an agreement as an indication
, of weakness and surrender.
Neither Became Law.
"Governor , Cox was in congress
while I was there and I know that
he voted for a bill which would
place i all grains and other agricul
tural products from Canada on the
free list, and he voted for another
bill which would have -placed all
meats and cereals of the world on
I J the free list, but neither bill became
a law," he added. "I have been tell
? . ; ting these. things to the farmers of
L Nebraska and they are interested.
1 The farmers are vitally concerned in
-aMEMthe economic problems of our coun-
try.
f "As , for the league, if one will
1 , study the covenant carefully, it is
f apparent that it would be easy for
I v tb:s country to get in, but not so
I easy to get out. The covenant pro-
Ivides that for emergence from the
' league it is not only necessary to
serve two years' notice, but all obli
gations to the league, must have been
observed and also all international
obligations must have been carried
out. Can you not imagine the pos
sible situations which might arise if
we signed on the dotted line and
became a signatory to such an agree
ment?" Congressman Confident.
The former congressman is con
fident that Harding will carry Ne
braska by not less than 50,000.
Mrs. C. A. Severance of St. Paul,
Minn.; who spoke in Nebraska on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of this week, under the auspices oi
the republican national committee,
clafed her itinerary here Wednesday
night at First Unitarian church,
with these words to the women of
Nebraska: '
"Women, don't be carried away
by emotionalism, don't be deceived
by slogans, such as 'He kept us out
of war.'"

'armors' union pledged its 35,000
-nembers to support the strike for

Over the Political Fence
The chairman of the republican
county central committee urges wo
men to vote early next Tuesday
morning and suggests that those who
are unable to vote during the morn
ing, attend the polls "between 2 and
4 in' the afternoon and thus avoid
the evening rush.
W. J. Bryan advises Omaha demo
cratic leaders that he will be un
able to speak here during the clos
ing days of the campaign. Democ

several heartaches during the cam
paign because Mr. Bryan has been
silent.
(Mrs. Draper Smith was seated at
a table in the Lincoln hotel, Lin
coln, with Howard Kennedy, who
had been attending a child welfare
conference with her. She was
busily engaged at her meal and did
not observe the entrance of John H.
Morehead, democratic candidate for
governor, and Charles Pool, for
mer secretary of state. Mr. More
head addressed the Omaha woman in
terms of mock-seriousness.
"You are not looking as' well as
usual, Mrs. Smith. I think you
should take a rest for the remainder
of the campaign." f
Mrs. Smith, who had been op
posing the candidacy of Mr. More
head, caught the humor of the situa
tion and replied that she never felt
better in her life and only wished
that she had . nine lives to
give to her party.
The local lodge of Elks will have
a special wire installed' in its club
rooms for election night. Members
and friends are invited to attend,
"I observe," said Judge Ben S.
Baker, "that some papers are devot
ing half columns to every reyublican
they find who is going to vote for
Cox. I think that any newspaper
would not have space for other news
if it gave one inch of space to every
democrat in Omaha who will vote
for Harding and Coolidge." .
Henry C. Behrens, identified with
local democracy for years, is now
wearing Harding and Coolidge
button. He has been active in the
affairs of the democratic party for
30 years and he is now outspoken
against the Wilson administration,
the Wilson league of nations and the
candidacy of Governor Cox.
