Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 15—(Special.) —If Omaha excels the demonstration :givcn Charles E. Hughes here Satur- day evening, Omaha may well Lincoln outburst has had time to soak into the public mind, many ex- pressions are heard. Riding from the depot to the Auditorium between two congested lines of pcogle, Mr. Hughes remarked to State Chairman Beach: “I am sure there are not less than 50,000 people‘in this great crowd.” As the presidential candidate viewed the vast street assemblage he leaned upon Mr, Beach as he stood in the automo- bile. The Lincoln situation is taken to indicate a lively interest in politics in general and in Mr. Hughes in particur lar. The close and respectful atten- tion shown 3 the Auditorium was an- other indication of the wéve of Hughes sentiment which is growing by leaps and bounds in this state. Spegial Message for Omaha. Omaha may look for something of genuine interest when Mr. Hughes speaks at the Auditorium "Monday evening. He took the newspaper men into his confidence, that they may have an inkling of what to expect. He will have a message to deliver in Omaha and it is betraying no confi- dence to say that he will make one of the important speeches of the cam- | feel | se proud.

The same conditions exists in Wash- ington. In California things look good. Governor Johnson is™making speeches \'all over the state for Mr. Hughes. In Oregon and Idaho the republican and progressive state chairman have joined hands in an efort to elect the republican national and state tickets. In Utah the republican candidate for governor was the progressive candi- date four year ago.” Women’s Train Doing Wonders. The important phase of the cam- paign in ‘the west is that /the na- tional woman'’s party’is conducting a campaign ‘against Wilson and all democratic, corigrcssmcn in many sof 3 { cffective manher. They attend all democratic metings and distribute literature and make spceches to the voters after they leave the meetings,, Another (feature of the campaign in some of the states is the strength of {the Hughes Alliance. This is made up almost entirely of former demo- crats and progressives. Mr. CorricK found the sentiment for Hughes much stronger as. he went | south. Nevada, normally democratic, shows strongly. for Hughes, The lead- ing democratic paper in that state is opgaly supporting the republican candidate for president. In Utah two years ago democrats and progressives fuséd on the state ticket. This year, according to Mr. Corrigk, on account of so many pro- gressives going back to thé republi- can party it was easy for the demo- crats to bring about a fusion again, but the facts -are \that 90 per cent of the progressives in that state, not- withstanding there has been an at- tempt to fuse, are supporting Mr. Hughes.

Special train provisions have been made on all the branches. Fullerton has signified its intention of coming down with a band. The Columbus city band, thirty strong, will parade from 1 o’tlock.

At 1:30 A. W. Jefferis of Omaha will start the speaking from the plat- form which has been erected immedi- ately west of the Union Pacific depot. Hughes sentiment in this demo- cratic hotbed is growing hourly ary so mafiy old-time democrats have sig- ni§ied their liking for Hughes, his rec- ord.and policies, and at the same time disappointment over Wilson, that many are predicting a repetition of 1908, when Platte county was swept by the republicans. / Loomis Republican : Club Is Organized Holdrege, Neb:, Oct. 15.—(Special.) —A republican club was organized at Loomis Thursday night of this week by R.

Mr. Anderbery told of the constructive principles of the re- publican rany and touched on the olicies of the democratic party, Mr, aite took up the subject of the tariff, showing that the republican tariff will protect our own markets, at the same time leaving the United States free to push our world markets, A club of about forty members was formed.

ALLIES ACCOMPLISH LITTLE | Vienna, Oct. 15=With a kceur longing for peace, has come persist-| ent speculation in the central states as to the mannet in which this bless- | ing may be secured. But all thought on the sbject is but the substance of the person’. own wishes, Politica! and rgilitar)' circles today are as far from seeing a' definite plan for the| cessation of the war as they were in the beginning. A ‘ If the fear prevailed in the centra' states that a peace with honor, and possibly profit, could not be secured then thought might run in a different channel. But the entente has not shiown that it can ultimately realize its own hopes, is the .univex;ul view held in Austria-Hungary and Ger- many and their allied countries, The offensive on the Somme, the Russian |attack in Bukowina and in east Ga- [ licia, the entry into the war of Rou- mania and its immediate conse- quences, the campaign from Saloniki and the exertiops of the Italians have all contributed toward the feeling in the central group that the resistance met by the entente may yet open the eyes of those who must first an- nounce that they will “be satisfied with a peace whose terms will not have the dismemberment of central Europe as a basis, What Teutons Will Take. The central govgrnment are ready today for a peace which would leave Europe very much as before the war, with the exception that Poland must be made an autonomous state, and that neither Belgium nor Serbia can again trouble, innocently or purposely, the quiet of Europe. There is here not the faintest in- o enter ne.oqu:m oy that basis, }%“Yiena'“smi- rlin, % ‘the' other hand, nobody can yét seé why the central group should make conces- sions, since they claim to hold trumps everywhere by the occupation of enemy territorjes so large that the few advantages gained by the entente can hardly count, . Had the summer operations driven the central tréops out of France and | Russia, things would bé-different, Fight in the West. The Somme offensive' has merely shown, according to the people here, that" the steel wall of the Germans in the west may be bent, but cannot | be broken, while resistance in the east has been splendid, numbers consid- | ered. The Italians have again been obliged to- take breath. So long as the entente cangot convice the pube lic of the central states that it is gain- ing militarily, the necessity of making concessions will not break upon the central Eurgpean mind, 1t is evident that government and ublic are one on this subject. There is much grumblinf about this or that regulation, but all these things are ephemeral trifles compared with the great objective—that the war must not be lost. Russia Vulnerable. There is no evidence that Russia would be the first to make peace. Nevertheless, that country is thought of in this manner. Peace rumors al- ways have Russia in mind. Possibly this is due to-the belief that Russia is, after all, the most vulnerable of the entente powers. In military circles a further occupation of Russian terri- tory by means of another German offensive is accepted as highly feas- ible. Hindenburg's elevation to chief of the general staff of the f5erman army has revived assertions that dur- ing the winter there will be another Russian campaign. Y To conclude a peace that swill not be made at its own cost, the cemtral powers feel that their armies must retain their\ prese proportionate strength and efficiency;=That their losses must not be greater in propor- tion than those of the entente forces. Before the British millions had ap- peared on the scene there was always the vague fear that things might go wrong once they took their place. ,~ No Decisive Result, But the Somme operations have shown that while the British millions have been of much help to the French their coming has not been decisive. 1t is argued now that with the large British forces assimilated in the mili- tary ensemble and with the Kouman- ian army a known quantity, furthet concessions worth while can come to the entente only from its population growth as more men will reach mili- rescrvetary age. This quality is not peculiar to the central allied states. at out eighteen per 1,000 of the popu- lation’s males reach military age an- nually, which would mean that Ger- {many can count on a yearly reserve of 630,000 young men, Austria-Hun- gary about 360,000, Bulgaria 52,000 and Turkey 170,000, Superannuation and losses in the field will more than swallow these figures; but this is equally true of the entente men crops. dication that the entente is inclined i REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT HERE TONIGHT—Charles Evans Hughes, republican candidate for president, will wind up his Nebraska speaking tour at the Omaha Auditorium tonight. ~ | Charles Evans Hughes BEE On Tralos, at Hotals, News Stands, oto., S0 BALLOON SCHOOL FOR FORT OMAEA General Scriven of Signal Oorps Advises Location to General Staff, MEANS DIRIGIBLE.
