Press Report of .Wilson's Health Is Corroborated Secretary Tumulty Recital of President! Condition Agrees With Former Newspaper Statements Condemned.' By E C, SNYDER. Waehlnctaa CorrMpevdeat of ty Omaha Washinston. D. C. Oct. 30. (Spe cial Telegram.) At a partisan polit leal rally in the suburb of Wash mgton on the eve of election J. P. Tumulty Thursday staeed the dra matic recital of the physical condi tion 01 nis cruet, President Wilson, a story which does not differ ma terially in its statement of Jacts from the .one which WashwKton newsoa per Ynen published many months ago wim no tnought of its political et fect, but which Secretary Tumulty then denied as untrue and denounced asmajicious. It is now the turn of the newspa per men to show how they are some times misrepresented and maligned unjustly before the public and go often "unloved and unsung" when they have no more sordid motive hi what they do than to give the people of the United States infor- iiiun rcgaruuig inc pnysicai condi tion of their public servants, and their capacity for efficient service. Speech Anticipated. , The Tumulty delivery last ninht was not made tntder the obscure surroundings that the 'news report of the political rally a Bethesda, Md might import. The newspaper men understood that the speech was coming and the nature of it and press copies were given out to the news associations. Secretary Tumulty's devotion to his chief is striking and commendable. His speech in which he paid such a glowing tribute to the president was not needed to em phasize to those-familiar with White House affairs, the, full measure of this devotion. But a better reason than that will have to be given for the election of Co. i The trend of Jthe campaign is still strongly republication appears to be . growing stronger as trie election ap proaches. Meanwhile leading demo crats desert the democratic ship and announce their intention to support Senator Harding. Former . Senator Martin of $ew Jersey, the man pre ferred W President Wilson , for United State. senator over James Smith, jr., who had made Wilson governor of New Jersey, announces that he is still a democrat but will not vote for Cox. . , "Swings to Harding. Charles Francis i Adams, Maa chussetts, says that while he is a nominee on the Massachusetts dem ocratic electoral ticket, he intends to vote for Harding Tuesday, and if perchance he is elected as elector he will vote for Harding in the tec torial college. But he adds he does not think there is the remotest chance of being chosen an elector. , -William' G. Sharp, Ohio, former -ambassador to France by the ap pointment of President Wilson, who has been through stirring scenes of war in diplomatic service, says he cannot vote for Cox 'because of the ill-starred league of nations coven ant, and so the list grows day by day, and there is every indication that the campaign will end in a democratic rout.

' , ; Statements of . Committees Republican. The republican campaign in Ne braska has been growing steadily in force and volume during the last six weeks, and reaches the peak point. with the close of he week s ac tivities. Our. speakers have covered every section of the state, except few isolated points, and when ever-they have gone an abundance of literature preceded them and has been givene widespread flistribution Foints not reached with speakers have been given special care in the distribution of literature. The largely increased vote, due to the enfranchisement of women and the uncertainty as to what ex tent , they will avail themselves of the ballot, makes it difficult to es timate the total. vote likely to be cast next Tuesday. The size of the re publican majority will, of course, depend on the extent to which wom en avail themselves of the ballot. Not even the most ardent democrat expects anything else than an over whelming majority in Nebraska for the republican national ticket. That the republican state and congres sional ticket will be elected is., gen erally conceded; the olily element of doubt being as to the governor ship. There is no senatorial election in Nebraska this year, and because of this only a fpw speakers of national reputation Wave been sent into the state and the burden of the Speaking campaign has developed on Senator Norris, six republican congressmen, Governor McKelvie, Attorney Gen eral Davis and other state speakers, including both men and women, all of whom have been,' doing splendid service and whose meetingsconsid ering the apathetic conditions, which prevailed through the greater part .of the campaign, have been well at tended.. ' , Therepublican hosts are alert, confident and determined on winning a smashing victory. We are satisfied with conditions and ready for the battle of the ballots. . Wool Men to Meet. Columbus, Oct. 29i J. F. Walker, chairman of the Fleece Wool States' association, issued a call for a meet ing at-Chicago, November 4 and. 5, when market conditions will be dis cussed and probably a legislative program to be presented to congress perfected.

We have just completed a general survey of the state which is based on reports from our precinct committee men and committeewomen, and it is our opinion that Ibe result next Tuesday holds a surprise in store lor political prophets. Nebraska is ae cidedly in the-doubtlul column as far as the national . ticket is con cerned. but we are confident that Governor Cox will have a mapority of the vote cast. The demand for literature tre taining to he league of nations for the last two weeks has been beyond our expectations and supply on hand, but we have met all require ments by being, able xfi receive a new supply every two or three days, Both men . and women have been in '.crested, aid- hundreds of letters ask mg4 for literature have been re ceived the last four or five days from every part of the state. Up-to the present time we have had nothing to base our claim upon that would war rant our belief that we would carry the state for Governor Cox but our final sum-up of the situation is that he has' as good a chance as his op ponent , v We are confident that John H Morcheftd will be elected. Prac tically every county in the state will give him a substantial vote as men and women of all parties are for him because of the fight he has made against extravagance and reckless expenditures of'state money the last two years. Voters generally are well informed as to the tax question and there can be no doubt as to who will get their support. Mr. More head has met every issue squarely and the opposition has been forced to resort to petty politics for trumped up . issues that were handled tindfer cover. Brass band tactics have not been resorted to at any time and personalities have had no place in the campaign.. His fight has been made entirely in the open and we are sure that his plurality over -jtfr. McKelvie will be the largest ever given a candidate for governor in the state. Nebraska 'will divide honors as to congressmen with a possibile elec lion of four. 'Exchange to Close London, Oct. 30.

He finally managed to shoulder his way through the throng, and the women quickly recognized him with tumultuous applause. , Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the women's bureau of the democratic national committee, introduced the governor.

Governor Cox in ; his speech to the women, charged that the power of money was beirig used to in fluence the pulpit against the league of nations. Pastors who have preached sermons for. the league7 have been warned by rich members oy their congregations to desist, he asserted. "At Kent, O., yesterday," he said, "a pastor told me that'he expected to sret his walking papers after the election' because he had advocated the league in some of his sermqjis. At Rochester, another pastor wH5 had preached in tavor of the league was warned by rigK members of his congregation that he had better not do it." , The governor told the women he never wolud forget the scene of the White House when he visited President Wilson and conferred with him about the league of nations last summer. "It was one of the saddest thing in all history," he .said. "I simply can not understand why a , policy of malignant hate should be practiced against a man who has been as" clear ly a victim of the war as any soldier who was wounded on the field of battle. He thinks of one thing and cne thing only, and that is that the promise he gave to the mothers ol America 'has not been kept. 1 feel sure that if he knew that the promise would be kept he would be willing to conclude his participation in atlairs both public and private." Women1 Helpful. Governor Cox told the audience he was "not afraid of the participa tion -of the women in politics." He declared that they had always been more helpful than men in the fight for progressive and' humanitarian i .egisiation in uino. .there were hisses when he declared that Sena tor Harding led the forces of reac- t: J ALr.

At Gary, Governor Cox talked about his labor record in Ohio and denounced profiteers. He said that as governor of Ohio, he had "never fired a soul to ' settle an industrial controversy." He charged that the republican congress had definitely rejected measures intended to reliev , high prices in order toyarouse re sentment against the democratic ad ministration, - ; Superior Baby Killed by l: all in Scalding Water Superior.

A special committee of the American Legion, appointed by the stale commander for the purpose of investigating statements made by Mrs. Marie Weekes of Norfolk and to make recommendations to the state organization, after deliberating at some length and reading docu ments' .and listening to evidence Fri day afternoon, passed resolutions in which the changes are declared false; that tHey have so been declared by the state commander; that demands for retraction have met with no re sponse, and that the entire matter be given widespread publicity.

"Whereas.-The American Legion, Department of Nebraska, is pledged to uphold and defend the constitu tion of the United States of Amer ica: to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a 100 per cent Americanism and to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; and, - -'Whereas. : A special committee has been appointed by the depart ment commander of Nebraska to in vestigate charges publicly made by Mr. Marie Weekes of Worrolk, Nab., a candidate for public office, that the American Legion ot We braska and certain ht ..its posts have unlawfully attempted to prevent the fight of free speechj break up public assemblies and committed other un lawful acts incompatible with the constitution of the American Legion and. . "Whereas. A careful and thorough investigation conclusively shows that such charges have no foundation m fact and are wholly untrue; and, i Retraction Refused. "Whereas, The commander of the Department of Nebraska' has re quested that Mrs. Weekes retract such charges or disclaim that they were made bv her authority. "Now, therefore, it is the unani mous sense of this committee that, because of the failure of any such retraction or disclaimer by Mrs. Weekes. the entire matter should be made public, that it may be known generally to the people of, the state of Nebraska that the insinuations, accusations and charges made by Mrs. -Marie Weekes against the American Legion are false and un true, and that she has refused to denv or retract those charges: and further, that it be made plain to the public the exact stand the American I.eeion of Nebraska takes at this time, and shall take in the future, unon the questions brought 6 the attention of the commander of the Department of Nebraska, in this in stance."

Election is next Tuesday. Then is to come what is called the referendum. Mr. Wil son has called it the "solemn refe endum." Let me say, as I have said on one occasion, that this referendum is go ing to be more than solemn! It is going to be great, the most compre hensive ever known. Before ended it will have comprised every phase of maladministration and every fleck of Wilsonitis that have brought untold miseries upon a people ' that have every right to be prosperous and contented. The time is too short between now and election day to speak at grea length of the issues involved anc this is not necessary, for they have been unfolded and made clear daily with incomparable .lucidity, direct ness and frankness by our candi dates, Harding and Coolidge. The republican party has .shown full readiness to meet its adversaries upon any battlefield of their own se lection. ' '' There is no reason whatever to doubt the outcome of the election of next Tuesday. It will result in the election of the republican stand ard bearers. Harding and Coolidge, and in the maintenance jt republican control over the houses of congress by greatly increased majorities. . Davis Represents Wilson. Washington, Oct. 30.
