B GOVERNOR STUBES OF KANSAS 1S HERE akes Two Speeches for Drys Sunday, Telling About Pro- hibition in Kansas, \GIVES FIGURES OF STATE Ex-Governor Stubbs of Kansas, who is campaigning in Kansas, came "to Omaha Sunday to make two L speeches, the first during the after- noon on the north side of the postof- fice, where Bryan had spoken the night before, and the other in the evening at the First Methodist church. His talks had to deal large- 1y with the prosperity of Kansas un- der its dry regime. “Kansas has more students attend- ing the institutions of higher learn- ing (in proportion to its population) than any other state,” said Governor Stubbs. ¥ “Kansas has the largest per capita wealth in the nation, on the basis of property assessed for taxation— S10981 3 “Kansas is one of the two states in »~the union having the smallest num- ber of persons who cannot read or write—less than 2 per cent of its pop- ulation, 5 “Without a dissenting voice, in 1915, the Kansas state senate and house of representatives adopted a resolution, approved by the governor of Kansas, declaring that prohibition is a com- plete success, and denouncin the widely circulated statements of the liquor interests to the contrary. That resolution was senate concurrent resolution No. 33—Senator Kinkel. Gives Some Figures. “According to the tables of the Kansas state temperance union, based on the federal census of 1910, the number of persons committed to state insane hospitals averaged 115 per 100,000 population in the prohibition states; 130 in the near prohibition states; 242 in the partially licensed states, and 276 in the license states. “When the saloon was abolished in Wichita, now a city of 60,000, the weekly bank clearances increased within three years from $1,400,000 to $3,200,000. / “Kansas has forty counties out of 105 which did not send a prisoner to the state penitentiary last year. This fiscal year, but 223 persons were com- mitted to the penitentiary—the small- st number in ten years—and this in the face of the fact that in Kansas a man is sent to the penitentiary for wife and child desertion, for violation of the liquor laws, and kindred crimes which are but jail offenses in most other states. “Kansas has no bonded indebted- ness. “Kansas had a loss of but $188,000 from business failures during 1915, which is less than any state in the Missiouri valley. Increased Valuation. “Kansas has approximately $3,000,- 000,000 worth of property, an in- crease of $79,000, in 1915, and the increase of 1916 will be more than double that amount. f “Kansas, under prohibition, has in- creased its bank deposits more than 100 per cent in ten years. We have $240,000,000 of surplus wealth in our banks and savings institutions today, and this has more than doubled under prohibition. “Kansas has an automobile for every fourth family—a record equalled by only two other states. “Kansas has a permanent school fynd of $10,485,299, and has invested in its school property more than $28,- 000,000—an increase of $1,500,000 this year. We spent last year $12,210,000 for educational purposes, an increase of $1,000,000. “We have enrolled on our colleges 27,000 students, the largest college at- tendance in proportion to the popula- r “tion in the United States.” 1 Expect to Cut Down Wilson’s Texas Vote Dallas, Tex., Nov. 6.—Opposition to President Wilson's Mexican policy will result in at least 33 1-3 per cent increase in republican votes cast Tues- day in Texas over the republican and l progressive showing of 1912, it was i asserted here tonight by republican state leaders.

The center will be conducted according to the interest manifested by the at- tendants. Johnson Promoted; Becomes Chicago Sales Manager W. F.

THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, Wanamaker Denounces Demo Plan to Coerce the Postmasters New York, Nov. 6.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Former Postmaster General John Wanamaker has issued a state- ment sharply denouncing the scheme which has been reported to him, whereby Wilson campaign managers had planned to coerce postmasters into voting for Wilson. Mr. Wana- maker said: “I have been informed that every postmaster in every town and city in every state in the country is to re- ceive a telegram, between now and Monday, telling him to vote for Woodrow Wilson. When I was in the Postoffice department, I would | rather have had my right hand cut off | than to tell a man to vote for any man for president, because he had a $1,000 job in the department. “I am informed, on unimpeachable authority, that the telegrams have been filed with both the large tele-| graph companies. “To my mind, it is a crime to at- tempt to intimidate postmasters with $800 or $1,000 a year jobs, or even the higher salaried postmasters, to vote for Mr. Wilson. That office means that man’s bread and butter, and to intimate to him that if Mr. Wilson is not elected he will lose his office, is beyond all reason, indecent politics. When I was postmaster-general, no such action was ever or would ever have been tolerated by me. During my administration, there were about 07,000 postmasters in the United States. Now there must be between 90,000 and 100,000. Think of each in- cumbent of a postoffice getting a me< sage of coercion to vote for Mr. Wil- son and intimating that if he does not do as ordered he may lose his | office. “These telegrams, according to my information, have all been written and filed with the telegraph companies. They have, so I have learned, been distributed by each telegraph company to a headquarters in every state in the union and are all to be sent Mon- day. From what I have been able to learn, the messages are worded practically alike. I have been unable to find out, however, whose signature is attached to these telegrams. If these messages were sent it must be with the knowledge of Mr. Wilson, and if this is the case, the scheme is, in my opinion, a piece of unclean poli- tics, which I would never have countenanced as postmaster-general.” REPUBLICANS SURE CAUSE WILL WIN G. 0. P. Oandidate Says He Has No Doubt that He Will Be Elected Tuesday. FINAL ORDERS SENT OUT New York, Nov. 6.—Both demo- crats and republicans profess confi- dence in the outcome of the voting Tuesday. Final orders have gone out from the headquarters here of the na- tional committees to the chiefs in other states, but instructions will be transmitted tomorrow to sub-chiefs and lieutenants all the way down to the precinct captains. Charles E. Hughes, the republican presidential candidate, who will re- main here until after election, an- nounced tonight that he considers his campaign closed and that he has no further statement to make. He told the few callers he had, however, that he felt sure of victory, Goes for Walk. Mr. Hughes slept until 10:30 o'clock this morning and did not leave his hotel until after dinner tonight, when he went for a walk. The republican nominee will vote Tuesday morning from the hotel here, which is his legal residence. The polling place will be an Eighth Ave- nue laundry. Neither Vance C. McCormick, the democratic national chairman, nor William R. Willcox, the republican chairman, had statements to make to- day. Each spent part of the day at headquarters making plans for to- morrow. President Wilson’s final message to state and county chairmen, wired from Long Branch, was made public at democratic headquarters without comment. It was said to speak for itself. Eleventh Hour Efforts. Eleventh hour efforts of both parties will be bént to “swinging” the election of congressmen in doubtful districts throughout the country, Temperance Play By Endeavorers The temperance play, “At the Court of Miss Columbia” was given in con- nection with the Christian Endeavor convention Sunday afternoon at the First Christian church. The charac- ters included fifteen young girls, all dressed in white and impersonating the dry states. Miss Columbia, im- personated by Ruth Bruechert, urged Uncle Sam to make the United States dry. Her attendants were Evelyn Westgate and Isabel Campbell. Following her plea diplomats from Russia, Walter Cantlin; New Zealand, George Jennings; ~Germany, Donald Mahaffey; Great Britain, Harold Boggs; France, Howard Woerner; Canada, Edward Pleuler; Austria, Leonard Camp; Sweden, Joe Hiddlis- ton; Hungary, Theodore Woods; Ice- land, Joe Fhainholpa; New Found-| land, Herrick Yungall’ told Uncle| Sam of the benefits derived from abstinence. Uncle Sam upon hearing the evi-| dence, told Miss Columbia that he was but the gervant of the people and could do nothing. Near the conclusion of the play Miss Nebraska made a direct appeal for the people of the state to put her in the same class as her dry sisters. She was encouraged by seven other young girls, dressed to represent those states voting on prohibition this year. . A temperance recitation by Mary Etta Cantannio was well received. The play concluded with an address by Rev. Frank Lowe, jr., Columbus, Mo., on “Price of Victory.” First Unitarians Sanction Their New Church Site The First Unitarian church congre- gation ratified Sunday the purchase by its special committee of the site for their new church at Turner boule- | vard and Harney street. Pending the construction of the new edifice, the church will have tem- porary quarters on the ground floor of the Hamilton block at Twenty-| fourth and Farnam streets, where[ Rev. Robert F. Leavens, the new pas- | tor, will have his office. There also | will be held the meetings of the trus- tees, the Women'’s alliance and the | Junior club.

A 1S AGAIN A NATION Once Powerful Kingdom of Europe Takes Place Anew a8 Independent State. TEUTON EMPIRES SPONSORS Berlin, Nov..6—(By Wireless to Sayville.)—"Polish provinces occupied by troops of the central powers,” says the Overseas News agency, “were the scene today of a great and momentous historic event. Germany and Austria- Hungary by joint action proclaimed Warsaw and Lublin, the kingdom of Poland, and re-established the right of the Polish nation to control its own destinies to live an independent na- tional life and to govern itself by chosen representatives of the nation. “A few days ago a Polish delegation had called upon the imperial chan- cellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. Its members were representative Poles of all classes, all parties, all ranks of society and all creeds. They transmitted to the German govern- ment the wishes of the Polish nation which now have been granted to them. “Thus the ancient kingdom of Poland from which in the past came famous rulers like the Jafcllones (a dynasty founded by Jagello, which reigned in Poland from 1386 to 1572), and glorious soldiers like the great Sobieski (John III, king of Poland in 1674-1696), is now resurrected, “The Poles are free from Russian oppression; no more to be trodden under the heels of the Cossacks. The liberty that had been destroyed a cen- tury a%o on Russian instigation now is restored, The rule of the knout has been abolished. Poland has been given back to western civilization.” Grain Prices Are Still Slumping; No Market Tuesday There is no grain market Tuesday. Here, as elsewhere, the grain men want to take a little whirl in the po- litical game and consequently the ex- change will be closed all election day. Grain prices continue to slump, corn being the hardest hit, due to the reports of enormous yield and good quality. The Omaha market was off léti cents from Saturday, prices ranging from 84@94 cents per bushel. The receipts for the day were eighty carloads. ‘ Wheat was 2 cents lower, selling at $1.62@1.77v; Per bushel. Receipts were 199 carloads. Oats went off a half and sold at 50@50%4 cents, with forty-one car- loads on sale. Weather is to Be Fine for All to Turn Out to Vote Weather out in the state is just about perfection. Temperatures are running high and not a cloud is vis- ible. Similar conditions maintain all through the mountains, according to the reports to the railroads. This is taken to mean that the weather on clection day in Nebraska will be fine. Railroad men assert that informa- tion coming to them indicates that with fair weather and the fall work retty well out of the way, the farm- ing sections of the state will poll the largest vote ever recorded. F. C. Best Wants Bridge * Question Handled Alone Frank C. Best, candidate for re-elec- tion as county commissioner, has ex- pressed himself as favoring a division of the road and bridge committee. He contends that the good roads question is one of sufficient impor- tance and of such interest to the pub- lic that it should demand the attention of a committee by itself. Likewise, he argues, the bridge question should be handled by a separate committee. Lumbago and Palns in the Back. At the firat twinge of pain In the back apply Sloan's Liniment—relief comes at once.

The fact that there are enrolled in the New York Hughes alliance 175,000 voters of all parties, the greatest groups ever brought together in a non-partisan movement, justifies Mr. McCook in speaking with authority of the result in this state. Mr. Mc- Cook says: “Ninety per cent of the progressives of 1912 will vote for Hughes. Between 10 per cent and 12 per cent of those who voted for Wilson in 1912, will vote for Hughes. The drift of the Taft vote of 1912 to Wilson is inconsider- able. The independents are in very large numbers for Hughes. The labor vote will, as usual, be divided and of it Mr. Hughes will receive at least the usual share which goes to a repub- lican candidate. “New York will give at least 100,000 majority for Hughes and I shall be rather surprised if it is not nearer o “The Hughes alliance in this state now has over 175,000 members.

DEMS HAVEN'T A CHANCE (From a Btatf Correspondent.) Lincoln, Nov. 6. — (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. “I can't see it any other way,” said Mr. Pollard. “There have been changes on both sideg}, but when the swapping has been done, you will find that it leaves the proposition in just about the same relative positions as it 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.” Breaks Into Barber Shop and Takes Bath For the second time during the last week, the barber shop of John Konvelin, 1202 Farnam street, was broken into.
