8 A THE feKK: OMAHA. SUNDAY. MAY I, Moorliead Denies iCIiarsc Ascribed To John Hopkins i Sbjs Statement Preposterous That Intimidation of Uuitcd Seven Voters By Glial- j ; lenging is Planned. to John -Hop-jreai one. . t. x , raven i jCharaclerizing as tre-posterous thel ttatcment attributed v;ilis, candidate for city commission-! eri that from 30 to 40 united seven idlers in each precinct might be in Miiiidated by challenging, Election "ijinimissioner Harley G. Moorhead Issued a reply Saturday to the al Vgcd insinuation. Mr. Moorhead's Uitteincnt follows: "Mr. Hopkins is quoted in the nprninjt World-Herald as stating in i 'meeting last night that a large part of the police department will bd detailed to the election commission er's office. It is planned to intimi date the voters by challenging, in the ihdpe of prevailing from 30 to 40 krlown united seven voters in each precinct from casting their ballots, do to the polls and don't let any 'hard-Wiled' delegate from Ringer's office intimidate you into relinquish ing your right as a citizen. "I cannot refrain from answering this insinuation that the election commissioner's office is challenging some particular class of voters in each precinct, and is using the police department for purposes of intimida tion. Mr. Hopkins is a lawyer and kno.ws that the same method of checking registration and challeng ing voters is in use today as has been for the last eight years; that the in spector in each district must check the registration and must mark challenged those whom he finds not to be qualfied voters; that the chal- Heart Secrets of a Fortune Teller - Should She Confess? - A young woman came into the studio today wearin the most hag gard expression I've ever witnessed. Her features were regular and her eyes were wonderful, but it was hard to get past the expression of mental misery on her face long enough to notice the real beauty. I suspected a . near-tragedy if not a cot much coniidence in; fortune tellers as a .rule, she opens, "but after hearin' the tilings I've heard about you for the past five years I believe I'd trust you without a question. There's some thing mightv serious on my mind, and if I don't get it off somehow I'll end up by going stark mad!" "Time to use the safety valve then, dearie," I answers soolhin'ly. "Let's have the story." "Well," she says, plungin' in with C3tch in her breath, "I came of a family that was no good, l diem t know' anything better but Idealize now that that didn't excuse n;c for follouin' the easiest line and goin' wrong. Xothin' can excuse a woman for that!" she snaps ou: rather bitterly. "Xo," I says," not in the eyes of the world, it "can't. But go on!" "Well," she resumes, "The Salva tion Army, rescued me. They took me up and treated me decent and white and made me crave somelhin' better than the things around. jiie. I saw I couldn't have it in the midst of my own family, so I de cided to cut loose. My father was a drunkard and my mother was a dope fiend. My sifters werp dead "beats, too. I was The best of the lot by far, but I guess that's none too good a,"reeommendation. So I cut loose!" fci'I've never seen the gang since," she says. "For a year and a half -I lived in one of the Salvation Army homes, and I went straight as a ble for them to know which candi dates a voter intends to support. "A considerable number of the in spectors are ex-service men and alsoJ propose to have this slander placed against them or any of the inspec tors, impunginy their honesty and in tegrity in conducting honest elec tions. If policemen are present at nolling places on election day, it will be for the purpose of maintaining or der and enforcing election laws, but thevliave no right to challenge vot ers, as Mr. Hopkins well knows. A large number of challenges are be ing issued throughout the entire city on account of change of address, death and other reasons; but it is preposterous for Mr. Hopkins to say from 30' to 40 united seven voters are being challenged for the purpose of intimidation." lenging is done by the inspectors andfstring.

It is impossi-J time, and gave my services to the Army at night,' I could sing pretty hyell, and 1 seemed to have a way at .winnin over the rtown-ana-out-k"s. so they were glad to have me American, Legion men,"and Ido h6ttjathe ranks for street work. . It was the only way 1 could show my thanks for what they'd done for me." "Then," she hesitates. "I met Tim. I don't know why, but it was love at first sight with both of lis. I was passin' the basket at a corner news s,tand, and when he clinked in his, coin our eyes met. That was the be ginning between us. We were to gether at every minute we could snatch, and three weeks later we were married from the home with only the matron and her Staff to wit tics'." : i , ',; t "Well," I interrupts cheerfully,' "it sounds like a happy ending to me. All's well so far!" "Xo," she exclaims violently, "things are not well so far! I made my . mystake when I failed to tell Tim what I'd been before the army found me. He didn't ask a question about my past, but just the same he had a .right to the truth. He mar ried me thinkin' I was an angel, and declarin' he wasn't fit to touch the hem of my dress although eyejry mention of my goodness felt to me like a twisted knife plunged into my heart. You see I was a coward. I was a coward because I loved him so and was afraid I'd; lose him if I dug up the oust and showed it to him!" "And how long have you been nursing this secret, dearie?" I ask her pityingly. . . "Six years!" she answers. "Six years that ought 'to have been full of happiness, because I was married to the kindest and. best man in the world! But there've.' been nights' when I've tossed and shivered and regretted and repented until my life was a nightmare.... That's why I'm here today. I vajit you to look 'ip to the future and tell, me which way to take. I don't want the uncertainty any longer. I've got to tell him everything even if I lose him." Well, I motioned her to.be silent, and seated myself at the crystal. And maybe before undertakin'.the deceit ful performance J said a prayer that I'd be permitted to. pass out some peace and happiness to. this . poor soul in distress. ' Several minutes passed before I spoke in a distant voice: "The debt has been paid with remorse the woman's secret is her own to tell it would be to shatter the happiness and peace of the man she loves, and to fill his life with misery for his sake' she will blot out' the past-nn the future is happiness." .' One look at her face showed the reief she felt. It wasn't-hard to see the good looks now! "Strange thing," I says to myself, when she's gone out like a care-free kid "keep in the past a secret for her own self ish sake was poispnin' her through and through. But keepin' the past a secret for his sake is going to make an angel out of her!" Well, maybe my advice was crook ed but who says there's rot enough misery in the world already, without crackin' another heart or two!
