HUGHES WOULD SURRENDER NOT ONE OF RIGHTS Tells Columbus Heckler Privi- leges of Travel and Ship- ment on Seas Should Be Maintained. THANKED BY QUESTIONER Republican Candidate Sayé He Favors Maintenance of Every American Right. DAYS IN INDIANA Columbus, Ind., Oct! 31.—Charles . Hughes today told a heckler that e was in favor of the maintenance of every American right, “inclyding the right of travel and the right of shipment.” Mr. Hughes has been asked if he favored an embargo on munitions or the passage of a reso- lution by congress warning Americans off merchant ships flying the flag of belligerent nations. Mr. Hughes spoke in the open air here before a crowd that had come for miles to hear him and choked the streets around Commercial park. He was speaking of the competition American enterprise will have to meet from Europe after peace whén a man in the crowd shoute({u . “Mr. Hughes, as a prrsonal admir- er, may I ask you a question?” There | was the usual confusion rcsult[ng! from an attempt to heckle. ~ The| nominee asked the crowd for quiet so | thew the qucs’ioncr might proceed: Reply to Heckler. “In the event of your clection,” the man asked, “will you or will you not favor or oppose an embargo against | the shipment of munitions from this | country to Europe or the passage of a war. resolution warning Americans not to travel o ships owned by na- tions at war?” 3 ¢ “I, sir,” the nominee replied, ‘‘am in favor of the main}cnancc of every right, including the right of travel and the rights of shipments. It is a very important right that we have as a neutral nation and it is very impor- tant that at this time when the great war is raging we should vindicate neu- tral rights and maintain the integrity of international law. To my mind it is a very thoughtless policy that would surrender any of these impor- tant rights because of any sentimental consideration when we have the vast i tral commerce and ~the importance of the rights of neu- trals te consider with respect to the future of the United States.” The crowd cheered Mr. Hughes and the heckler shouted, “Thank you.” “The foundation of American pros- (Continued on Page Four, Column Four.)

In the Prahova velley and in th- region of Dragoslavle, north of Campulung, we repulsed several of the enemy attacks. To the cast of the River Alt the action is proceeding. In the Jiul valley (region of Vulcan pass), the pursuit of the enemy con- tinues.

Kennedy received no contri- utions for his campaign. His formal statement, made in pursuance of law and filed today with the secretary of the senate, states that Mr. Kennedy thus far has expended in his campaign $4,898.17 and that he has promised to spend $450 before November 7. The report of Mr. Kennedy is unique in that it sets out in detail the amount of money expended with newspapers throughout the state for advertising and possibly subscriptions. It is almost a recapitulation of Ayers’ newspaper directory so far as Ne- braska 1s concerned and with that trait for election he signed each sheet of typewritten matter with his own sig- nature. Believing the efficiency of printer’s ink, Mr. Kennedy employed the news- papers of Nebraska to tell the people where he stood on the big questions now uppermost. He paid W. M. Maupin $100 for space in his maga- zine. association $224.50. He paid his cam- paign manager sums at various times and he paid newspaper writers for “copy.” In short, Mr. Kennedy testi- fies to the effectiveness of the news- papers as an advertising medium, hence the'detailed reference to the pa- pers he has asked to apnounce his candidacy.

This newspaper states that the Ger- man government asked of the Rus- | sian government that it put an end to conditions which were tausing suf- fering to German prisoners of war and that the period given by the German government for compliance having elapsed without a satisfactory answer from Russia, the German government has ordered reprisals. To this.end, it is stated, a number of commissioned | officers belonging to crack Russian regiments have been transferred to a special camp where the discipline is especially severe and where they will remain until the Russiai® government complies with the German request [N THE MOUNTAINS London, Oct. 31.—The battle that pulsed from the frontier after ha_viugw which is Mr. Kennedy’s strong claim | He gave the American Press| OMAHA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER Remarkable Story of the Rapid Rise of Ar&,Mullen to His Present P# ion of Pull and “Fower in Politics. e Arthur Mullen's boast that | he had “the only official acceptance” from President Wilson for the Ne- braska semi-centennial, people have been wondering “Who is Mullen?’ and democrats who have known him have been asking “Upon what meat doth this, our Caesar, feed?” The rise of Art Mullen from a bare- foot boy in O'Neill to th€ position of “boss” of the democratic party in Nebraska is indeed an interesting story of push, perserverance, wily craft, resourcefulness and political cunning. Mullen began as a poor | Irish lad who trained with the gang | that ran things in Holt county, under | the leadership of Mike Harrington, in | the early '90s. It was in the stirring times of the Barrett, Scott and Bartley |episodes and Mullen evidently made | the most of the tesson deciding then to become a lawyer in order to be- come more adept in the art of poli tics, When he entered law sclool he wes older than most of his fellow students were at graduation. He se- cured law school diploma from the University of Michigan in 1900, being admitted to practice in Ne- {braska shortly afterwards: This was iitteen years ago when he was 27 years old and the horizon of his use- {fulness confined to the town of O'Neill and its surroundings. . | Mullen’s Political Apprenticeship. But even then Mullen apparently had ions of reaching the pedestal of “political boss.” He continued to ally himself with the Harrington crowd, although calling himself a democrat, while Harrington was a populist and the two worked both ends to the middle. Cashing in on his accumulated political capital Mul- len becamre county attorney for Holt | county and several peculiar pages of court history were written during his incumbency. . At this time Mes began to spread into state politics. While Harrington fixed up Holt county delegations to the populist conventions, Mullen arranged the Holt county delegations to the demo- cratic conventions, not forgctting to K | | include himself, and when gflxe trad- ing stage was reached Mullen and Harrington were both in' the game, With this political apprenticeship, Mullen was ready to put in a claim for personal recognition when Shal- lenberger was elected governor. He next blossomed out as state oil in- 1, His Hbroscope of Himself POLITICAL BARGAIN COUNTER spector, the most profitable aud po- litically powerful appointive. job at the governor's disposal.

When a vacancy occurred through the resignation of Attorney General Thompson Arthur Mullen got Gover- nor Shallenberger to commission him to be attorney general for the unex- vired term and Attorney General Mul- scn actually made a trip to Washing- ton to appear in the supreme court of the United States as the attorney for the state in a then pending case.
