LINCOLN, Nov. 5.-(Special)-The rail-
Tosd explanation of the Galloway pass cpl
sode IN Nemaha county as given by a man
on the inside Of the Burlington is as fol-
lows;
"The pass Is genuine. all right. but the
railroad officials who issued II had no
knowledge It was to be used for political
purposes. The pass was issued by the de-
partment which usually honors the requisi-
tions of surgeons OF the company on a
requistion from DR.. McGrew, supposlng
It was for the usual purpose for which
surgeons request passes. You know they
often give passes to favor witnesses in
damage suits and their requests usually

political center OF the railroad could not

Hammond. TO offset this the republican
committee has diligently distributed copies
OF the republican state platform but what
harm the Hammond smartness will do only
the results viii show. This afternoon the
railroads were circulating the editorial
printed on slips Of paper on all their trains
and parties were aboard who gave them
away to people waiting at the various de-
pots.
Nothing new has developed in the cam
paign so far as the republican headquar-
ters know Mr.. Rose still says it is
merely a question Of republicans going to
the polls.

For the purpose of deceiving republican
railway employees into voting the demo-
