Nebreska ™ KENNEDY AND REAVIS SPEAK AT LEWISTON Candidates for Senate and House Address Mass Meet- ing in Pawnee County. STOPS AT OTHER TOWNS Lewiston, Neb., Sept. 27.—(Spe- cial.)—After pointing out the great ' number of instances in which the dem- * ocratic party had abandoned and failed to live up to platform prom- ises, and after describing the manner in which President Wilson had failed to be governed by the promises of the platform on which he was elected, John L. Kennedy of Omaha, repub- lican candidate for United States sen- ator, stated at a mass meeting here to- day: “The platform of the democratic party is like the platform of a street car, Itis used to get in on, but not to stand on.” Mr. Kennedy and Con- gressman C. F. Reavis of Falls City visited here today in company with two automobile loads.of candidates for county offices. E. H. Gifford of this place headed the reception committee here and introduced the speakers, and John Herold, prominent farmer and citizen, entertained the visitors at a noonday dinner at his farm home. Inquiry Begins [ Into Death of Mrs. Nichols of Laurel Sioux City, Ia., Sept. 27.—(Special.) —Dr. Leonard De Vore, formerly city health physician at South Sioux City, Neb,, has left his home in the Ne- braska suburb and is being sought fol- lowing an investigation of the death of Mrs. Katie May Nichols, 30 years old, which occured at the physician's | hqu\c on Monday, September 18, ‘l The body was brought to Sioux City and later taken to Laurel, Neb., the home of the woman's parents. Peritonitis was given as the cause of death, but relatives of the young | woman were not satisfied and an| autopsy was performed at Laurel. A condition is alleged to have been found that caused County Atorney | Frum, Dakota county, to start an in- vestigation. It came to a head last evening, when Miss Laura Nelsnn,‘ Dr. De Vore's housekeeper, was taken | into custody by Sheriff Caine. She | was not held in jail, but ‘s detained as | a witness. | Several days ago the doctor de- parted from his home and did not state his destination to his housekeep- | er. The parents of Mrs. Nichols, her| husband and a brother reside at Laurel. | Railway Compmissioners 1 Hear Phone Controversy | Fairbury, Neb., Sept. .'7.——(Spt‘(‘i:l|“ Telegram.)—Jefferson county rural subscribers of the Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph company threshed out Mr. Kennedy asked the farmers of Nebraska to insist on the dignity of the American constitution, even at the hands of the president of the United States, and he pointed out that during the last threc years the democratic president had repeatedly usurped the function of the legislative branch. He added that if this was tolerated there was nothing to prevent the usurpa- tion of the judicial branch also and the consequent violation of the underlying principles of the American govern- ment. Mr. Kennedy's good-natured and humorous treatment of his subject won to him an enthusiastic audience. Reavis Charms Audience. Congressman Reavis charmed his audience with a telling address which was for the most part not po- litical. However, in closing he said that the Underwood tariff legislation of the democratic congress and the rivers-and harbors bill were the most sectional bits of legislation ever en- acted. He pointed out that the Under- gwood tariff bill' gave Protection to the roducts of the states from which resident Wilson and Mr. Under- wood came, and left unprotected the products of the Nebraska farmer and the states of the north. He referred to the fact that all of southeastern Nebraska had been benefited by drain- age districts which the Nebraska farmers built «t their own expense and that the democratic congress had by its recent legislation appropriated ,000,000 to do the same thing for the south. Mr. Reavis said that he had always voted against this sort of legis- lation and that Senator Hitchcock and i their grievances today befoer the Ne- braska Railway commission, Ever since the first of the year, rural patrons have been up in arms at the increased rates and poor serv- ice and many of them have had their telephones removed. The patrons allege that representatives of the telephone company called on them and agreed to rebuild the entire tele- phone system and give them superior service. It is maintained that the company failed to keep its promise, that it was merely a scheme to get an increase in rates. A number of mass meetings were held early in the year and an organi- zation was formed among the rural patrons. The railway commission was appealed to—which finally re- sulted in the hearing. The commis- sion took the matter under advise- ment. Noted Women Planning To Attend Federation Hastings, Neb., Sept. 27.—Special Telegram.)—Preparations are being made for an attendance of several hundred women of Nebraska next week at the state conventions of the Federation of Woman’s clubs and the Equal Suffrage association.

BEACH IS COVERING STATE (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 27.—(Special.)—The first democratic gun in the national campaign failed to arouse much at- tention in Lincoln last night, when Congressman Rufus Hardy of Texas addressed the voters at the city au- ditorium. A sparse hundred in the au- dience could not relieve the barren- ness of the big hall nor pump up much enthusiasm for the speaker’s re- marks. Democrats, who had expected a strong eulogy of President Wilson were strongly disappointed. The democrats were sorely tried by the lukewarm expressions of the Te congressman, who devoted more tention to singing the praises of W. J. Bryan than he did to telling of the work of Woodrow Wilson. The au- dience of Lincoln democrats had not come to be told of Bryan's services | to humanity. Hardy said Bryan's place was safe in history—he did not see fit to as- sure his audience that Wilson had such a certain hold on a place in the | hall of fame. Beach in North Nebraska. Chairman Beach of the republican state committee is holding two dis- trict meetings at Norfolk and Emer- son with county workers.

One of his best meetings in his whirlwind campaign of the state was at Geneva, Tuesday night, when he spoke at the court house to a large | number of Fillmore county citizens, | Devoe talked law enforcement from the standpoint of the attorney gen- eral and from reports coming in from Geneva he made a decided hit.

Mr. g&ag\xire, he said, had stated that he would obey President Wilson. As for “himself, Mr. Reayis said that he would not. He said that in England they stood by the king, and in Russia they stood by the czar, but that in America the sovereign power is the people of the United States, and that he would stand only by them and be governed by their needs~. He added that, if he chose, it would be hard to stand by President Wilson, as President Wil- son would not stand still. He referred to the vacillating policy of this ad- ministration in all important matters. Adam McMullen of Wymore, candi- date for state senator, also spoke on matters of interest in state and county olitics. His speech was well received. Kiuch interest was aroused by the visit of the candidates today, and the state- ent by the speakers that the First district of Nebraska stands first in literacy in the United States has caused much favorable comment. It is confidently predicted that the re- publican ticket will win in this county. Talks to School Children.

Alleged Bootlegger { Settles with Uncle Sam v McCook, Neb., Sept. 27.—(Special.) —Deputy Revenue Collector Cecil i\ Matthews of Hastings was here yes- terday in the discharge of his official duty and ran to earth a case of boot- legging which has been suspicioned by local authorities. “Little Bill” Escher squared the matter with the | “deputy collector by paying $37.50.
