THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, li)20. Both Nebraska Chairmen Lay Claim to State Final Statements Issued by C. A. McCIoud, Republican Leader, and J. S. Mo Carty, Democrat Lincoln, Nov. 1. Chairmen of the republican and democratic state cam paign committees today issued final appeals to the voters of the state. The party leaders all claim victory for their respective candidates. The 11th hour statements follows: C. A. McCIoud, chairman of the reniinnran rnt rnmmitt in hi statement, says: "The democratic party in Ne braska has given up the fight for the presidency; the only remaining semblance of a fight is that for the governorship. The republican state central oommittee firmly believes thai the entire republican state ticket will be elected by a large majority. Its election by a plurality is al ready conceded. The campaign for the governorship early resolved it self into one of promise after promise made by the two opponents of Governor McKelvie in answer to which the republican party points to its record of things actually done. "The republican state ticket de serves the support of all Nebraska voters. All except one of the re publican candidates are candidates for re-election. They are seeking endorsement of their business ad ministration of the state's affairs. They stand for the economic ex penditure of the state's money. Voters Not Deceived. "The republican party does not be lieve that the voters have been de ceived by the charges of ex travagance that have been circulated by the opponents of the present ad ministration. State taxes have in creased by only a very small amount and even that small increase has been due almost entirely to building of good roads and better state in stitutions, and to increased ap propriations for the university and for the care of the state's depen dants. Expenditures for these ac tivities meet with the approval oi the people, we know. "We believe that the new women voters will cast an almost unanimous ballot for the republican state ticket, which stands for rigid law enforce ment, while the democrats have definitely promised to do away with the state's law enforcement division if they are elected. "Governor McKelvie has made no appeal to class or racial prejudices, but has stood four-square on a plat form calling for continuance of a businesslike administration of the state'r affairs, and for completion of the constructive program that had its inception under the present ad ministration." Demos' Are Confident J. S. McCarty, vice crtairman of the democratic state committee, in his statement says: "It was the Des Moines speech of Senator Harding that changed Ne braska from an Almost certain re publican victory to one of doubt at this writing. ' "Nebraska people as a whole are for the league covenant. There is a certain anti-war element, however, more pronounced in Nebraska, per haps, than in some 'other- western states, on which the republican or ganizations have worked every prop aganda known to skilled politicians in order to secure their vote. "The democrats have consistently been for the league, while up until Harding spilled the beans at Des Moines the republicans were sup posed to be for the covenant, but with reservations. When the news twept across the country that the republican- candidate had finally taken his stand squarely against this vital issue it aroused the women in every section of the state, as well as the men, who were not hidebound partisans, and these headquarter' were deluged with thousands of re quests tor literature and speakers in the league of nations. Swept Across State. "The change from republican to c'tmocratic sentiment not only swept acros Nebraska like a tidal wave, but has practically spread to ivery state in the union, and where hire tofore states have been classed in the Harding colamn with a fair margin, the, political prognosticators are now cataloguing them as doubtful. "If is the opinion of the demo cratic state committee that the women will decide the national elec tion in Nebraska and it will be de cided in favor of Cox and the league of nations. "As to Governor Morehead's elec- hat he will be elected by an over whelming vote. K. of C. Initiates Large Class at North Platte North Platte, Neb., Nov. 1. (Special Telegram.)

' "The deciding roll in that world drama was played by America. Fouc million of her sns placed the inter ests of. the "nation above those of self and fell patriotically to the col ors.

"America cannot and will not for get the great service that was ren dered by these men in the hour of its direst need. There is only a little that we can do at best to prove our undying devotion to them.
