- ( , b K 1 \ N D ) I Nebraska I RECORDS DISPROVE CLAIMS OF WILSON Democratic Candidate Shown Not to Have Been Author of Guaranty Law. ALBERT PAID FOR WORK % (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Oct. 29.—(Special.)—The claim of Victor E. Wilson, democrat- ic candidate for state railway com- missioner that he was the author of the state guaranty law is being ques- tion even by the members of his own party and especially by the friends of Judge I. L. Albert of Columbus, who is said to be just a little peeved be- cause Wilson is claiming all the glory for the passage of the law, when the facts, borns out by the records of the 1909 sessions do not disclose that the bill even bore the name of Victor E. Wilson, but on the other hand was introduced by the banking committee, of which Representative Charles Graff was chairman and bears his name, with the information “intro- duced by Charles Graff and point committee on banking.” . _ A further perusal of the House Journal covering banking legislation, discloses that a bank guaranty bill introduced by Mr. Wilson was indef- initely postponed. It is also well known that the coffers of the state treasury were » drawn on for the purpose of paying 1. L/ Albert of Columbus, a demo- crat, 2§50 for drawing up the bill «and getting it in shape so it would stand alone. * Now Mr. Wilson is claiming, so it is understood, that Mr. Albert took the bill postponed by the house an reported it to the committee as Mr: Wilson had drawn it. If the claims of Mr. Wilson are correct, Mr. Al- bert was paid $250 for doing nothing and it is this claim of Mr. Wilson which friends of Mr. Albert are ob- jecting to. In_the meantime Mr. Wilson goes ahead making the claim that he was the author of the’ bill, while the rec- ords of the session show that his, at- tempts at authorishp of a bank guar- anty bill were squelched by the ine definite postponement route and a joint banking committee with the help of Mr. Albert introduced the bill which eventually became a law and is now on the statute books. Lamb Feeders to Meet at 'Varsity Farm Tuesday Lincoln, Oct. 29.—(Special.)—Some 150 sheep feeders and growers are ex- pected to attend the annual “Lamb Feeders’ Day” to be held here under the auspices of the animal husbandry department of the University of Ne- braska at the university farm on Oc- tober 31. 3 The program starts shortly after noon with an inspection of show steers to be exhibited by thg univer- sity at the International Live Stock show at Chicago.

T. Wilcox, a prominent -attorney of this city, in a letter appearing in Fri- day’'s issue of The North Platte Tele- graph. Mr. Wilcox's letter follows: “North Platte, Neb., Oct. 27.—Mr. Editor: I want to say a word for John L. Kennedy, who without much doubt will be the next seénator from Nebraska. Few people in this state have known Mr. Kennedy longer than/ L. T have known him rather intimately since the fall of 1881. At that time he was a young man attending law school; like most of the members of the class he was without any of this world’s goods, but he was endowed with ability, honesty and industry. He was popular with all the boys, and the acknowledged leader of the class. “Mr. Kennedy|was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was not then and he is not now an aristo- crat. What he has obtained»is by rea- son of those qualities which he knew he*possessed thirty-five years ago. “His success should be an inspira- tion to every young man who has to make his own way in the world. “He is an ideal candidate for the office of United States senator. “W. T. WILCOX.” News Notes of Peru. Rev. Charles A. Carman, pastor of the Baptist church, has tendered his resignation in order to accept a call to Shenandoah, Ja. His congrega- tion reluctantly accepted his resigna- tion, to take effect November 15. L. k- Todd, who has been employed in the office of the “Peru. Interests,” seems to have mysteriously disap- peared. He accompanied his wife as far as Lincoln on her way’to Thed- ford to attend her father's funeral.

OMAHA BREAKING OWN GRAIN RECORD Nine Months’ Record This Year Eclipses Twelve Months of Last Year. PREDICT 75,000,000 BU. » ¥ 5 Omaha received more bushels of | grain in the first nine months of this year than it received in all the twelve | months of 1915. At the close of Sptember the re- ceipts in bushels were 56,526,140, while the entire year of 1915 brought in but 53,555,800. - Judging from the volume of grain raised in Nebraska this year, it is probable that the grain receipts for Omaha will approximate 75,000,000 bushels this year. The receipts in the month of Sep- tember alone ran practically 50 per cetn ahead of the receipts of the previous September. There were 4,540,200 bushels in September, 1915, and 6,738,200 bushels in September, 1916. The first nine months of the pres- ent year brought in 47,143 carloads of grain, as against 27,520 the first nine months of the previous year. Wheat's. Big Grain. The biggest gains in receipts were made in wheat. In the period of the first nine months of "1915, 7,436,400 were received, and in the parallel per- iod this year, 27,630,840 bushels were recived. Te receipts in oats in the past September were alone 100 per cent greater than the receipts of Septem- ber a year ago. . Oats, too, runs far ahead 'in re- ceipts for the corresponding, nine months’ period. The figures are: Bushels. First nine months of 1915. +. 6,820,900 First nine/ months for 191 +.10,092,900 The receipts in corn this year have thus far not gone as high, as for the same period last ‘'year, but with the large crop of corn now being gathered in the state, and the high price being offered, it 'is expected that the re- ceipts will come wp rapidly as soon as the weather gets cold enough to make. corn shell good. Rates Retard Growth. Thus *Oniaha ‘is‘ constantly ‘leaping forward as a great” primary grain market, in spite of the disadvantage of railroad rates. Omaha has thus become a great grain market in spite of the rates, not on account of them. Kansas City and Minneapolis still have all the better of Omaha in the grain rate ;discriminations. This is true fo suck an extent that very large' quantities of the grain grown in the southern part of this state, which should normally belong to this mar- ket, goes régularly to Kansas City, while much of the grain raised in northern Nebraska goes through to Chicago and Minneapolis when it logically belongs in Omaha. In Shipping out grain through Kan- sas City to the south, it costs Oma- ha dealers 5 cents.more than Kansas City dealers to compete for the south- ern business. In shipping grain north to Minneapolis, it only costs Kansas City 1 cent micre than Omaha. One Big Felter. Thus, according to the logic of rail- way rates, it is worth 5 cents to shi grain to Kansas City, but only wort 1 cent to ship from aKnsas City to Omaha. A day of reckoning is at hand, how- ever,~for the' grain men here are starting a case against the roads. In November a special examiner will he here from the Igterstate Commerce corimission to take evidence on the big case that is coming up. Many grain men will tell what they know about the ridiculousness of grain rates in this section, and when the Interstate Commerce commission gets those ‘transcripts it will have some- thing of interest to ponder over.

Jewish Citizens Urged to Vote for _ Their Own Welfare (Continued From Page One.) | or ‘color, will be protected. Everyone | knows Hughes cannot be intimidated | or bluffed.” Right of Expatriation. Victor Rosewater, editor of The Bee, introduced as a Jew of national reputation, read the republican plat- form pledge to secure the right of expatriation, which has met with the full approval of Mr, Hughes: “We reiterate the unqualified ap- proval of the action taken in Decem- ber, 1911, by the president and con- gress to secure ‘with Russia, as with other countries, a treaty that will recognize, the absolute right of ex- {patrialiou and prevent all discrimina- tion of whatever kind between Ameri- can citizens, whether native born or alien, and regardless of race, religion or previous political allegiance. We renew the pledge to observe this prin- cipal and to maintain the right of asylum, which is neither to be sur- rendered nor restricted, and we unite in the cherished hope that the war which is now desolating the world may speedily end, with a complete and lasting restoration of brotherhood among the nations of the earth and the assurance of full equal rights, civil apd religious, to ‘all men in every land.” Mr. Rosewater declared the Jews in this country ask no special priviliges, but insist 1{;“ no rights belonging to them as citizens be 5enied them. “All they want,” he said, “is an _equal chance and they want to help their co- religionists in the ohd countrigs to the same equality.” Assails Democrats.

AMERICAN REPLY NOT DETERMINED Officials Will Examine Black- list Note Before Deciding to Answer. CONTENTION IS REFUSED Washington, Oct. 28-—~The next| move of the United States in the con- troversy over'the blacklist of Amer-| ican firms will not be determined until | officials have had ample time to ex- amine Great Britain's the American note of July 28, protesting against it. The reply reached the State department today from the Lon- don embassy. Secretary Lansing to- night said he had not decided when it would be made public. 3 The note refuses the American con- tention, which termed the blacklist “an arbitrary interference with neu- tral trade,” but is understood to offer methods of relief which may be avail- able in some instances to lessen the rigors of interference. i3 An American reply is almost certain to be made; based on the contention that the blacklist violates the commer- cial treaty of 1815; that in singling out certain American firms undue dis- crimination is shown and that an illegal action is taken, designed to pre- verft trade with Germany, an which should be accomplished through blockade and contraband re- strictions. It.may be argued that the blacklist is.designed .to cripple firms trading with Germany in order to de- stroy German trade more than for the immediate purpose of war.
