BRYAN MEN DISSATISFIED (From a Staff Corretpondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 26.—(Special.)—"*We are not doing any worrying over the so-called republican deflection of votes to President Wilsdn,” said Jess Craig, manager of the speakers’ bureau of the republican state com- mittee today. “Tt is giving the democratic press a whole lot more concern than it is Every report we have received has given the state committee satisfac- tion. It seems strange—for ordinarily one expects to hear from spotted lo- calities where some candidate has aroused opposition, but not so this vear. Above all we have found the people of Nebraska most receptive to the candidacy of Justice Hughes|a and he is ‘apparently winning fresh admirers each day with his clean- cut denunciation of democratic abuse. Democrats Split. “Something else is giving us a lot of satisfaction too. It's the mumber of democrats who are flocking to re- publican state headquarters, and in- dicating that at least two democratic candidates cannot hope for the united suppor, of their party. -Apparently it is the purpose of the democratic press o hide he facional roubles of hat organizaion. “It’s becoming more apparent every day that hundreds of Bryan demo- crats will support the republican ticket, at least.” Constantly increasing demands for literature have compelled the republi- can state committee again to enlarge the headquarters. C. C. Johns, who is in charge of the publicity bureau, has been given separate quarters and has a big force working to keep pace with the requests for campaign ma- terial. Nebraska is going to receive a lively bombardment from republican ora- tors within the next few weeks. Jess Craizhas a number of speakers ar- ranged for and is now completing their itineraries. Rail Commission Comes To Deadlock With Reed (From a Statf Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 26.—(Special.)—The railway commsision has asked Attor- ney General Reed tosprosecute the Farmers’ Co-Operative Elevator com- pany of Riverdale for failure to abide by the state warehouse law-—although Mr. Reed has pronounced the law un- constitutional and unenforceable. Mr. Reed has indicated that he will not prosecute, since he does not believe that it can be done successfully. The commission complains against the elevator company on the grounds that it is not submitting its monthly reports. Mr. Reed holds the law unconsti- tutional, because, in his opinion, a grain elevator is not a common car- rier. The State Railway cgmmission has authority only over common car- riers, according to the state constitu- tion. , « Neville Spaks on Street; No Hearers in His Hall Bridgeport, Neb., Sept. 26.—(Sp cial Telegram.)—Keith Neville spoke to a mere handful of people on the streets this afternoon in hehalf of his campaign. The address was scheduled to be held in the Miller opera house, but owing to the fact that no hearers put in their appearance, the speech was delivered by Neville from his car on the street. On the whole, theocca- sion was a fiasco. | Leslie M. Shaw to Make Address in. Capital City (From a Staff Cofrespondent.) Lincoln, Sept . 26.—(Special.)- Word was received by the republican state committee here late today that Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, would speak in Llincoln at the city auditorium on the night of October 10.

M'MULLEN ALSO SPEAKS Pawnee City, Neb., Sept. 26.—(Spe cial.)—The republican senatorial and congressional campaign in county opened yesterday. John L. Kennedy of Omaha, republican candi- date for United States senator, and Congressman (. F. Reavis of Falls City entered upon a speaking tour of the county and the First congressional district, commencing with a morning meeting on the street at Dubois and closing with a night medting in the town hall at Burchard. Two afternoon street meetings were held, one at Talble Rock and the other at Stein- cuer. Adam McMullen of Wymore, republican candidate for state senator, also spoke at each meeting. The theme of the speeches delivered throughout the day was of interest to the farmers of southeastern Nebraska, and at all stops much applause was elicited.

Pinkham Medi-" cine Co. | | Women who are well often ask “‘Are | the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham | Medicine Co. are continually publishing, | genuine?' ‘‘Are they truthful?’ *“ Why do women write such letters? "’ In answer we say that never have wo published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published | | an untruthful letter, or one without the i full and written consent of the woman | who wrote it. The reason that thousands of women | from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink- bam Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink- | ham’s Vegetable Compound has brought | | health and happiness into their lives, | | once burdened with pain and suffering. | | It has relieved women from some of | the worst forms of fcmale ills, from dis- | placements, inflammation, ulceration, ! stomach troubles and from the blues.
