S I Nebraska I ASK MANY PLEDGES FROM CANDIDATES Men Who Wish to Go to Legis- lature Asked to Endorce Sev- enty Diverse Propositions. HAMILTON MEN REFUSE Aurora, Neb., Oct. 26.—(Special.) —If a candidate for the legislature would sign affirmatively all of the pledges which are handed him prior} to election, he would go to his duties as a member pf that law-making body .bound hand and foot. \Perry Reed and J. T. Vorhees, the two candidates for the legislaturg from Hamilton county, have had pre- sented to them pledges from about seventy organizations and individuals and they have been asked to sigm’ these pledges under the declaration that suppuort or opposition will be given them according to the tenor of their signatures. The first set of questions to reach the candidates in this county came from the East Lincoln league of Lin- coln, Neb. It desired the candidates to sign up on the question of maxi- mum telephone rates. Diverse Interests Busy. Then along came theeinsurance companies on the question of uniform insurance rates and next the anti-sa- loon league asked the candidates to commit themselves to laws enforcing the dry amendment. The Farmers’ union presented eight questions, em- bodying eight policies, and asked for a “yes” or “no” reply. Other parties desiring to tie the hands of the can- didates represented all kinds of in- terests in and out of the state and a candidate who signed them all af- firmatively would need a secretary to keep him advised as to how he had promised to vote. He would have lit- tle time to study any of the pro- posed bills, because he would have to put in most of his time studying his pre-election plledges. 5 Hamilton Men Refuse. Reed, the republican candi- date for the legislature from this county, has uniformly refused to sign any of these pledges. He has been entirely willing to give his views on any of them whose import he understands, but has taken the posi- tion that he goes to Lin¢oln to/repre- sent the people of this county, and that he must not be bound by seventy pledges to support measures whose exact details and whose exact pro- visions he is fiot familiar with. On the liquor quastion, Mr. Reed declined to sign thd interrogatories of the anti-saloon league. He, how- ever, in a letter to Mr. Carson, stated that he stood squarely on the plank of the republican platform adopted by the republican county convention. This plank pledges its candidates to the support of the prohibitory Amend- ment and to the support of laws which will rigidly enforce that amend- ment, if adopted. 5 Ex-Demo Thrown Qut of Neville's Perr; Meeting at Utica| o Utica, Neb. Oct. 26.— Henry Scheele, ex-representative, ex-wet and ex-democrat, was prevented by force from attending the democratic rally Monday noon, at which Keith Neville and other prominent demo- crats spoke. ( Moreover, H. A. Collamore was stationed at the door of the opera hotise with apparently just one job on his hands, and that was to keep Mr. Scheele out. He did it. When the public speaking started, following a private dinner in honor of the democratic 'candidates, Mr. Scheele started up the steps of the opera house in company with several other men. He was stopPed by Colla- more and told he wasn't wanted in- side. He thought it was intended as a joke and went ahead. Collamore then took hold of him and pulled him back so forcibly that both went down in a heap, with Scheele’'on top. By the time they got themselves un- tangled and on their feet again, Mr. Scheele had grasped the situation. He told Collamore that he assuredly would not have attempted to attend the public meeting had he known that he was not jwanted, and tugned and walked away. M. R. Beckford, precinct commit- teemay, and Colonel Ragan had the meeting in charge. Beckford admits that Collamore was instructed to keep Scheele away form the dinner, but says he did not tell him to bar Schee- le from the meeting afterwards. Colla- more says he obeyed orders as the{ were given to him. Platte County Republicans Organize a Hughes Club Columbus, Neb., Oct. 26.—(Specidl Telegram.)—Platte county organized a_Hughes and Fairbanks club last night with an initial membership of over 300. Officers elected are: Mark Rathbur, president; Mart Apgar, sec- retary; and Clarence Sheldon, treas- urer. In conjunction with the central committee all members have agreed to work hard to swing democratic Platte to the Hughsé column, Headquarters have been opened in a hall in the Waurdeman building, and a large ban- ner has been strung across the street. . Notice of this activity and the grow- ing Hughes sentiment is causing the democratic ring to hold nightly meet- ings in an effort to stave off defeat, Tonight they have brought Mr, “ Anslem from South Carolina to ap- peal to the German democrats not to desert Wilson, According to leading Germans nothing could make the rank and file of German voters support Wilson, Railway Commissioners To Hear Wreck Evidence (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Oct. 26.—(Special.)—Rail- way Commissioner T. L. Hall and Rate Clerk U. G. Powell have gone to l;heyenne to be present at the heaflpg where employes of the Union Pacific railroad are charged with neg- ligence and responsibility for the wreck on that road near Bushnell re- cently, where two men were killed and others injured. Devoe and Stephens Speak from Same Platform at Ponca Ponca, Neb., Oct. 26.—(Special.)— A very out of the ordinary politcal meeting was held here Tuesday even- ing. Congressman Dan V. Stephens had been billed to deliver a cam- paign speech; likewise, Robert De- Voe, republican candidate for attor- ney-general, and H. P. Shumway, for licutenant-governor, were scheduled for republican addresses. When they all arrived on the ground they decided to pool interests so far as getting | the crowd was concerned. The po- litical opponents lined up on the same platform. Attorney C. A. Kingsbury resided for the democrats and At- orney J. J. McCarthy for the re- publicans. Mr. Stephens outlined the work done by the present administration, stating that more measures of great importance had been passed during the Wilson administration than had been enacted during the history of the republican party. He went into de- tail \in regard to the federal reserve bank-act. Mr. Stephens explained the president’s attitude and actions in keeping the nation out of war, lauding him very highly and making quite an affecting plea, based on the hororrs of war. The speech was one of the shrewdest political addresses ever given here. ’ Mr. DeVoe stated that it was but fair to the voters to know the debt as well as the credit side of the ad- ministration’s political ledger. He stated that the south is in control of the government. He quoted tariff schedules to show that southern products are protected and northern staples are duty free. Statistics to show exports before the war and at present were given to prove the pres- ent prosperity is due to the European war. A great and sudden increase in competition will come when the war ends, and a high protective tariff, as advocated by the republicans, will | be a necessity. Mr. De Voe argued that Wilson has not kept us out of war with European nations, because not one of them wanted war with this country and would not have engaged the United States in conflict if they could avoid it—they, rather than Wii- son, have kept us out of war. As to Mexico, the decision of the judge advocate general was read, in which it declares that a state of war does exist between the United States and Mexico; also, what constitutes war, according to international regulations, was explained and applied, to show that we are at war with Mexico, It was an able presentation of republican views, delivered in a ready, pleasing- and effective. manner Owing to ‘the lateness of the hour and the fact that he was in his home county among old friends and neigh- bors, Senator Shumway refrained from making an address. Shorthorn BuII'Brings Nearly Six Hundred Coleridge, Neb., Oct. 26.—Special. —J. L. Young of Shadeland smcl)< farm, staged a most successful sale of “Shorthorns” yesterday. His offering consisted " of twenty-nine cows, part of which had calves by their side; fivp choice heifers and ten fine type bulls, ranging in age from a few months to two years. The aver- age price received for the cows was $216, heifers $93 and the bulls $162.50, Eastlawn’s Red Betty $old to C. E. Churchll_l of Hartington, Neb., for 80, which was the most money paid for any of the offerings from Shade- lapd herd. Sultan’s Prince, .the herd bull, sold to W. W. Oglbie of Beaver Crossing, Neb., for $410. The sale was attended by about 200 people, from all sections of Nebraska, lowa and Dakota. THE BEE: WESTOVER ORDERS CHARTER T0 CENTRAL Judge Westover at Lincoln Issues Mandamus Writ Against Board. OASE TO SUPREME COURT (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb.,, Oct. 26.—(Special Telegram.)—District Judge W. H. Westover, sitting for Judge Albert J. Cornish in the Lancaster county dis- trict court, today granted a writ of mandamus ordering the Nebraska banking board to grant a charter to the Central State bank of Omaha, which the board had refused on the ground that it was empowered to use its discretion, taking into considera- tion the banking situation and the na- ture of the application. S The hearing occupied two days, in which the bank brought out the fact that it had refused to pay a large fee to Democratic National Committee- i man Arthur Mullen to act as its at- torney when advised that it might be to its a(lvanta-gv: to employ him in the [ case. The case will be appealed, but the court imposed such conditions, it is understood, as will bring it up at an early date in the supreme court. Mullen On Stand. Arthur Mullen of Omaha was the star witness yesterday, being charged with using his political prestige with the banking board to keep the bank from being chartered. Arthur S. White, president of the proposed bank, stated on the stand that he had talked with Judge Hunter of the Omaha municipal court after he had become convinced that she board intended to refuse agcharter and had been advised to refain Mul- len. They visited Mullen, but he wanted $2,500 to take the case. He finally came down to $2,000, but Mr, White cansidered this too much. Considered Mullen’s “Pull.” Judge Hunter stated that after that time Mullen had agreed to take the case for $1,000 as a retaining fee and an additional $1,000 if he put the case through. Hunter was asked by At- torney Lambert if he had not told White that he knew a man who was a czar in democratic politics who could obtain the charter for him with- out the expense of a law suit, but Hunter.denied the statement, however admitting that he might have con- sidered Mr. Mullen’s standing in the democratic party as a help along the line of getting the charter. Mr. White believed that Secretary Royse had it in for him and that he had been toid after he had refused to retain Mr. Mullen in the case that Governor Morehead and Attorney General Reed had decided not to grant the charter. Royse Gives Reason. Today \he examination was resumed with Secretary Royse of the banking board on the-witness stand. Mr. Royse said that the rule passed by the board that a certain percentage of the stock should be herd by par- ties in or adjacent to a town in which a bank was toy be located had been carried out in this case, for only about half the required’amount was held in Omaha and vicinity, This with other minor matters had been the reason for the board refusing the charter. ol ing them. it make her nervous. gestion. _popular nowadays, is Instant The Modern Breakfast Cup is served to a_ll the family. —no denying the children for fear of harm- —no hesitation on the housewife’s part lest —no doubt about the wisdom of a second cup for the husband for fear of disturbing his di- "This snappy flavored table drink, so Well worth trying by those who value health—“There’s a Reason.” \ Postum Notes From Beatrice MBeatrice, Neb., Oct. 26—(Special.) —Robert S.
