below the surface. There can be no
doubt of desire upon the part of the
Eastern press to tell the whole truth
with respect to the situation in Me-
braska. 1t cannot, however, be ac-
Quired in a visit of short duration
There is gloomy prospect ahead of
Republicans in this state. There is
CONSERVATION in the councils of the
leaders amounting to demoralization
In the first place a grave blunder was
made in picking men for the state cen
trail committee. For the most part
they are regarded among many party
leaders as not only incompetent for the
duties of
A HOT CAMPAIGN,
but are personally offensive to the
voters at large because of the records
made by them in the past The strong
men Of the party have been fenced
out, and they view the situation in ut
ter hopelessness. A few days ago,
however, an attempt was made to in
ject new blood into the committee and

was quietly put in actual control of the
working forces. This gave some degree
of confidence to the party leaders
throughout the state, and more eff
cient work is being DONE but the fear
is entertained that the change was
made too late to enable Republicans
to recover lost ground. Fifteen days
ago poll was taken by the Republi-
can committee which showed that Bry-
an had a majority OF at least $1,000
votes. This information leaked to the
opposition camp, and, in fact, the
Demo-Populist leaders are now in pos
session of the poll made by the Re-
publfcans, covering considerable
portion Of the state. The result of
such a disclosure can readily be mag
1ned. In less than twelve hours the in
telligence was flashed all over the
state. Hundreds of voters who act
upon expediency rather than principle
got off the fence and are now march
ing with the army which they believe
will win the fight in this state. The
rank and file of Republicans have not
yet recovered from the shock which the
announcement Of the result of the
poll gave them. The enemy has put
them in confusion. A few of McKin-
ley's intimate friends, realizing the
danger threatened, lost no time in ac-
qUainting him with the facts. These
letters were promptly returned to the
Chicago office of the national commit
tee, and the committeeman replied to
them in an Indifferent, non-comnlittal
way. Last week a confidential agent
Of the national committee came into
the state and interviewed some of the
leaders at the

He was told that the Republican
state committee is powerless to stem
the tide of free silver among the farm
ers. Heretofore Republicans have been
strong in the country towns and have
exerted great influence upon the farm
er vote; but this year, prices being so
low, and the nominee being Ne
braskan, the country merchant could
make no converts, and as a matter of
fact feeling runs SO high In the country
towns that farmers boycott merchants
who declare for the Republican plat
form. In previous years Nebraska has
been safely Republican, and the party
leaders paid little or no attention to
the farmer vote: and now, when they
are in sore need OF that element, it is
far beyond reach. Money can not In

Polls Wonderland Theater.

Lumiere's cinematographe has made a sensation unprecedented in the his tory of attractions presented at Polls Wonderland theater. Nothing like 1t has ever been seen here, and it seems as if the mind of man were unequal to turning out anything more wonder working in the line of photoghapic dis play. So vividly realistic are the views thrown on the screen by the cinemto- graphe, and so marvelously truthful are the motions and actions of the ob- jects shown, that the spectator forgets it Is simply a picture he is gazing upon and imagines that it is the action of life itself that is before him. No amount of description, however, even though it came from the greatest pen picture drawer of the universe, could convey to one who has not seen the cinematographe any idea of the mar vicious realism and accuracy with which it reproduces the motion and ac- tion of the objects displayed It must be seen to be appreciated. An excel lent speciality bill is presented in addi- tion to the cimsnatographe, the spe- cially attractive features, being the ec- centric novelty introduced by the Oli- fans. Others who present attractive acts are Miss Eleanor F'alk, Morrisey and Rich, Burns and Coakley, Farrell and Taylor, Coulby and Way, and Per kinson and Roth. No one can afford to miss seeing the cinematographe dur a 1oa land.
 The cinematographe will be shown three times daily in the afternoon at S:30 and in the evening at S:S0 and 1920.
