N ebraska | POLLARD IS GERTAIN ‘HUGHES WINS STATE Nehawka Man Says Republican Nominee Will Carry Ne- A braska by 10,000. DEMS HAVEN'T A CHANCE (From a Staff ¢ vondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 5 — (Special.) — Charles E. Hughes will carry Ne- braska by not less than 10,000 ma- jority over Wilson, is the opinion of E. M. Pollard of Nehawka, who came to Lincoln today after a campaign trip through the state 1 can't see it any other way,” said Mr. Pollard. “There have been changes on both sides, but when the swapping has been done, you will find that it leaves the proposition ‘in just about the same relative position as t was before. In some places there are some republicans for Wilson, while in other places there is a decided going to Hughes on the part of demo- crats. When you take into considera- tion that there can be a loss by Mr. Hughes of seven or eight republicans in every precinct in Nebraska, basing the vote on the rate of four years ago, and then the republicans win, it can be readily seen that there has got to be a real landslide for the democrats to carry the state for Wilson “Nebraska is normally republican by at least 15,000 to 18,000, to say the least, and I fail to see anything in the situation which would make me be- lieve that Wilson will carry the state.” Broken Bow 0dd Fellows Open New Building Broken Bow, Neb, Noy. 5.—(Spe- ing, which includes also the Lyric theater, went into commission Friday night. The structure will rank among the fine lodge buildings of the state and it represents an outlay of over $20,000. There are two stories and the front is finished in white enameled brick. The second story is occupied by lodge rooms and business offices, which contain the very latest in mod- ern equipment. On the ground floor is the theater. The fobby is finished in white polished marble and the box office is composed of the same. The auditorium is done in gray and white and the stage is fully equipped. The seating capacity is about 450.

W Jefferis of Omaha spoke on the issues of the day from a republican place to an audience that crowded the city auditorium to the limit and even filled the hall corridor. Mr. Jefferis held the attention of his listeners for over an hour and a half, | his logic and keen reasoning being appreciated and bringing enthusias- | tic applause. A large number of dem- ocrats made up the audience, many of | whom who have announced pubf,iclyl that they will vote for Hughes.

In many particulars the record of Devoe has never been equalled. He is the republican nominee fdr attorney eneraf. but pas never mentioned that fact in his fpeeches. He has never mentioned the name of his opponent, and never alluded to the latter, al- though General Reed has been sub- jected to a running fire of criticism erhaps even more severe than has eville, Mr. Devoe has spoken in sixty coun- ties. He made forty-five consecutive night speeches, practically all of them preceded by from two to twenty day - speeches. In his speeches he urged the selec- tion of Hughes, the choice of John L. and the election of /Sutton and the republican state ticket. At Ponca he ~ met Dan V.

It doesn't matter whether we are Catholics or Protestants or of what denomination; we must be faith- ful to the church with which we wor- ship. We must be good family men and look out for the next generation.” Daniel A. Poling of Boston, assist- ant to Rev. Dr. Francis E.

Religious Freedom. “We should thank God daily for the religious freedom we have in this country. Men of any religion can meet and worship as they believe, In Russia Dr. Clark found that no pri- vate religious gathering of more than seven persons is tolerated, We should be thankful, too, for our industrial freedom, for, in the last analysis, men in the industries get the rights to which they are entitled. And we should be thankful for our educational freedom, for our magnificent public school system, which is the founda- tion of our liberties.

He also answered the questions as to what he would have done on the war matter, and escpecially so ¢n the Mexican trouble, to the satisfaction of the people that heard him.

Lincoln, Nov. 5.—(Special.)—The last attempt of the democratic state committee to throw suspicion on the methods used by John L. Kennedy, in his campaign for the United States senate met a setback which proved a boomerang when, after an investiga- tion of the charges made that the Kennedy headquarters had been send- ing out letters emanating from a pro- gressive source and enclosing them in envelopes bearing a return card of democratic headquarters, presum- ably to carry the impression that they came from democratic source favoring the election of Mr. Kennedy, it was | discovered last night that just one poor lone letter had been forwarded to democratic headquarters, alleging that it had been received by a former progressive. The investigation disclosed the fact that the list of progressives furnished Victor Seymour, manager of the Ken- nedy campaign, by F. P. Corrick, state chairman of the progressive party, from which letters were sent, did not contain the name of the man alleged to have received the letter, and also that the letter was addressed on a typewriter having a purple ribbon, while all typewriters used in both the Kennedy and republican state head- quarters use black ribbons. As the letter was sent out from Lin- coln and in an envelope with a demo- cratic return card, the republican com- mittee is sure it was sent out by the democratic committee themselves.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY POLITICAL ADVERTISE) POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT, An Appeal to the Catholics of Nebraska The A, P. A. was at one time a potent factor in Nebraska. Thanks to the intelligent Non-Catholics of the State, it has practically ceased to exist. Its declination and disappearance was due primarily to intelligent Catholics proving, by their daily lives and by their civic action, to the Non-Catholic neighbors ‘that the charges brought against the Catholics of disloyalty was absolutely unjust. Now, the greatest enemy of the Catholic Religion is a member who so conducts himself, or his political activities, that Non-Catholic citizens come to believe untruths about Catholics and their Church. He is es- pecially dangerous and reprehensible when he repre- sents that the Church or high officers of the Church sanction his disreputable political work. : A case in point has just arisen in this campaign and I'believe the men responsible for it should be exposed and denounced so that all men, both Catholids and Non-Catholics, may in the future relegate them to a place, politically, where they can do no harm. y An alleged attorney of Omaha, giving his name as Geo. Merton, came into Humphrey, Friday, Novem- ber 8, and called on a prominent Catholic, who is an officer of the local Knights of Columbus Council here. He said in substance he was sent to Humphrey to see the Catholics and appeal to their religious prejudice in this election, giving as his reason that the other side were doing the same thing. He produced a purported copy of a letter written to the Nebraska Prosperity League by a woman living at Creighton, Nebraska, in which purported letter, or copy, the Knights of Columbus and other Catholic or- ganizations were slandered; he said/he was sent out by Arthur Mullen and John C. Byrnes. The prominent Catholic appealed'to brought this man to my bank, I being a Catholic, and he repeated the above charges and statements to me and asked me to call up J. C. Byrnes, who would vouch for him. I called John C. Byrnes, who was in Omaha, and had two others on the line to confirm what Mr. Byrnes said. Mr. Byrnes not only approved the method, but vouched for this man Merton and said I could depend on anything he told me. The same method, I understand, is being employed in other parts of the State. A copy of this letter was left at a local saloon in Humphrey and I received a printed copy this morning. The local Catholics and Knights of Columbus, with whom I have talked, repudiated absolutely this method of cam- paigning. They resent with emphasis the bringing of their religion into this campaign and they state emphatically that this action is contrary to their sentiment and prin- ciples of their religion. There would seem to be only one object in this bigoted appeal to the Catholics and that would be to aronse re- ligious rancor and thereby help the wet cause. The men who are responsible for that deserve the em- phatic condemnation of every citizen of Nebraska, Cath- olic or Non-Catholic. 1, as a Catholic, wish to denounce this method of cam- paigning which violates the sentiment of a tremendous majority of the Catholics of Nebraska, and the principles of their church and I ask them to join me in this condem- nation. Merton claims he was sent by Arthur Mullen and J. C. Byrnes and Byrnes confirms this. I appeal to the Catholics of Nebraska to be true to the principles of their Religion and repudiate the action of these men in an effective manner. N. M. CONDON. 'THE .
