WATCHFUL WAITING POLICY (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 1.—(Special.)—The speech of Henry J. Allen, delivered here last night to a crowd which comfortably filled the lower floor of the auditorium, while several people occupied seats in the gallery, was one of the greatest political arguments ever heard in this city, not excepting that of many speakers of national reputation. Mr. Allen did not deal very kindly with the president's policy in Mexico and brought round after round of applause as'‘he showed up his unAmerican attitude both in handling the situation in Mexico and with foreign powers. Monroe ‘Doctrine. Answering the slogan of the demo- v?,trrats that Wilson had kept us out of dyar, Mr. Allen called attention to the {l fact/ that every president the United Jgotates had ever had with two or three ’i ! N g4 = “ of war. cexceptions, had kept us out of war. He called attention to the fact that when Great Britian demanded that the Monroe doctrine should be al- lowed to'be broken in South Amer- ica, Grover Cleveland sent word that the United States would protect those countries according to. that doctrine even to the sending of ships of war to enforcd it and at a time when England had no other complications to cause it to back down, yet it did back down when President Cleveland gave it to understand that while the United States was not looking for|. war, it would enforce the Monroe doctrine even at the point of a can non's mouth. ; T. R, and Germany. Mr. Allen called atteption to the time when Germany alfo desired to make trouble for a South American country and President Roosevelt gave ten days to back up. Seven days elapsed and then the German ambassador informed the president that there was not time to do. “You have but three days left to recede from your stand,” said Roosevelt, and when the ambassador remonstrated, Mr. Roosevelt told him you have but two days to send word to your coun- try, and the result wasithat Germany receded simply because it knew that the United States would dojust ex- ;c!ly what the president said it would o. He called attention to the “too proud to fight” policy of President Wilson, saying that when the first ship was sunk by a German sdb- marine, Mr. Wilson sent word to Ger- many that they must not do it again, and then when another was sunk the word went across the water that Ger- many would be held responsible if another American life was lost, and when the Lusitania was sunk our president told Germany that they must be more careful, or the United States would hold them accountable, and then another ship was sunk with an American consul on it on his way to_his mission and President Wilson still was too proud to fight. Then another and still another* ship went down an dthe president sits supinely by and listens not to the sobs of the afflicted, or appears to care nothing for the honor of being an American citizen and the protection which a country owes to its subjects on land or sea. His review of the Mexican policy of the president and his order of Admiral Mayo out to sea with his vessels when American lives were in dan'ge{ at Tampico, gave his hearers an insight into watchful waiting which brought. thunders of applause from the entire audience. Peterson Electrifies . e \ Big Wausa Audience Wausa, Neb., Nov. 1.—(Special.)— To a large audience at this place to- night, C. Petrus Peterson, city attor- ney of Lincoln, attacked tHe demo- cratic sloge, “Wilson kept us out of u:ar.” A large number of Scandina- vians were present to listen to the ad- dress and the remarks of Mr. Peter- son were greeted by applause. * Mr, l'e_lurson also spoke )in a humorous vein and this portion of his address rapscd much laughter, In part he said: “Democratic campaigns are always Gonducted on a-slogan and the argu- ntents are built, not upon premises of fact, but upon the assumption tha the slogan is true do not tell us the phravsu‘ ‘Wilson has kept us out of war., e reason is, Wilson has been Irusvr}cul and we haven’t had war, therefore Wilson kept us out ar. On the same basis of reason- ing if the building doesn’t burn down !)emrv_ morning, even though there is a fire in Chicago or New York, the owner of the building should say, ‘Thank God for the janitor, he savéd my !)uilr]iug from fire when ([\crr was fire in Chicagor or New York. That a fact follows another fact dBes not establish the reldtion of cause and effect.” Mr. Peterson emphasized the im- portance of the election of John I Keunedy to the United t - ate. William P, and the selectior for attorney Victor Wilson Misleading Public on Bank Bill Staff Cor ( States sen- Warner to congress, ‘of Robert W, Devoe Nov. -1.—(Special.)—That Wilson is deliberately njs- leading Alie public when he makes the statement that lic was the author of the bank yuaranty law, appears to he a fte. A recent article in The Bee showed that Mr. Wilson had no con nection with the law, except to he the author of another that was inde- finitely pastponed. . A very well known member of the joint committee, which was created to draw up the bill stated to The Bee today that the article was correc in every particular with tion that it did not make it strong enough. “I just want to say in answer to the claim by Mr. Wilson that the bm as prepared by the joint committee was a copy o his bill,” said the man, the excep- | who happens to be a democrat, “that the only part of his bill that the com- acting clause. Mr., Wilson gave notice to the committee that he would fight the bill on the floor of the' house, and we simply told him to go ahead. As far as Judge Albert's connection with the bill is concerned, the judge acted as our attorney to go over the bill and pass upon its constitutional- ity, should it become a law.” Mr. Wilson has persitently claimed throughout the campaign that he was the author of the present bank guar- anty law, even going ‘so far as to advertise that he was the author in his advertising scheme, but accord- ing to the recotds and the informa- tion given by the member of the com- mittee referred to above, he was not even in sympathy with the commit- tee's final efforts.

Addresses were made by Henry T. Clarke, president of the Ne- braska State Railway commission; U. G. Powell and H. G. Taylor, asso- ciate members of the commission. Tt had been planned that Hal V. Minor of Hastings would speak from the local side of the rate question, but | Mr. Minor waived his right in favor of Mr. Powell. Chairman Clarke complained that in its'ruling raising freight rates in Nebraska the Interstate Commerce commission had violated the mandate of the United Statés supreme court | and that it had used unwarranted statistics in fixing the rates. The rates, he said, now amount to the “rigid distance tariff,” which the most eminent traffic experts in the country have condemned as unfair and impracticable. Principle Wanted. “The principle for which we must fight,” declared Mr. Clarke, “is that where a state fixes a scale, before it can be upset by the Interstate Com- merce commission, the latter must prove that the rate fixed by the state is unreasonable.” Replying ta a question by J. C. Hedge as to why there is a shortage of "cars now for the transport of grain, a condition that did not exist in August, when there was more de- mand for cars for carrying grain, Mr. Powell said: “While it is true that there is less grain to haul now than there was in August, it is also true that there is | more demand for cars for other com- i modities. On the average 191 cars | daily are started from Nebraska towns. It is also true that the rail- roads have not kept pace with the growth of commerce in acquiring freight car equipment. Lack of Co-operation Factor. “On the Union Pacific 57 per cent of the freight cars are required to transport coal. In some instances we have found that lack of cg-gpera- tion of divisions has been a factor in car shortage. Also, the situation is abnormal. A hearing on car short- age will be held Thursday.” Hans Hansen askey why freight transportation is slower now than it used to be. Mr. Powell explained that it was due to the increased num- ber of trains due to the increased volumne of transport. The Union Pacific now operates twenty-five more traip crews than it did a short time ago. Now the railroads think they are doing/well if they move a freight car twenty-eight mile§ in a day; formerly thirty-five miles was considered normal. At a station on the Union Pacific last week the commission met seven freight trains and five passenger trains. It was stated that the North- westerni this season has had less dif- ficulty than any other Nebraska road in the matter of grain car shortage. —Superintendent Bignell of the Bur- lington was present during a portion of last night's discussion. A. H. Jones presided as toastmaster. == THE == Significance is strongly reflected in your general health and l‘appi- ness.

Newspaper Views of Judge Cornish: Nebraska State Journal:— “Judge Cornish is recognized by his neighbors as a really big man, and they believe that if the voters are looking for that kind of a man on the Supreme Bench they need seek no further.” The Lincoln Daily Star:— ““He (Judge Cornish) has been on the district bench in this county for more than twenty years. His honesty and abil- ity have never been‘impeached. His de- cisions have stood far better than those of most judges the test of the higher tribupal.” 3 The Lincoln Trade Review:— “If * * * his slection follow, the Su- vreme Court will have added to its mem- bershin one of the ablest jurists in this state.
