LEAGUE SCORES cARRs ACT
Former Secretary of United Civic
League Had Stationery Printed
for Letter.
(From a staff Correspondent }

LINCOLN, Nov 2.-(Special Telegram.)-
DR.. E. Arthur Carr, deposed secretary of
the United Civic league of Lincoln, who
sent out the slanderous letters about Judge
Taft on the letter head of the league, has
not only BEEN branded by the league Off
GERS for the outrage, but 1t has been proven
true that he had the letterheads printed
after having been fired from his Job.
The original letterhead upon which his
name appeared as secretary of the league
did not contain the union label and the
letterhead he sent out does contain the
label. A comparison of the two letterheads
shows that different ornaments were used
and in some cases different type. DR.. Carr
today is busy driving over Lincoln tacl1ing
up Bryan pictures. He is one OF the head
leaders Of the Bryan blowout scheduled for
tonight
Following is the official statement issued
by the president of the league:
To the Public: The United Civic league
has noticed that political letters have been
sent over the state, signed by E. A. Carr
as secretary, and printed on what proports
to be the letter heads of this league. The
league brands this letter and the use Of the
league name in this connection as an out
rage. E. A Carr, is not the secretary or
an officer of the United Civic league. The
letter paper used by him in which the
league name is used, is printed forgery.
Last February, in the midst of the city
campaign. charges from many directions
were brought against E. A. Carr as an
officer OF the league These charges were
too grave to be ignored, and the league
found it necessary to reorganize and drop
Mr. Carr.
THE printing and use of letter paper
carrying the name of the league by Mr..
Carr, is a serious matter. which will be
taken up by the directors of the organiza-
ton at the earliest possible moment.

SUIT OVER SHERIFF'S DEED
Mrs. Elizabeth Linton Says Transfers
Have Been Made TO Avoid
Debt.

The long drawn out litigation over the
property OF Phoebe Elizabeth Elwina Lin
ton broke out in n new place Monday,
when suit was filed in the district court by
Mary A. B. Howell to clear the title to
lot I'm Benson which formerly belonged
to Mrs Linton. She bought it from John
T. Gathers, who secured It at a sheriff's s
sale to cover his claim for attorney fees
for representing Mrs. Linton The petition
filed yesterday says an error was made in
distributing the property, the description
placing It in Benson's addition, instead OF
Benson.
The petition also asks that deeds cover
ing the property given by Mrs. Linton to
Kate Remnant, maid in the Linton house
hold. and by Miss Remnant to Adolphus
Frederick Linton. be set aside. 1t Is as
serted they were given to defraud creditors

HERE is TAFT MONEY FOR YOU
Republican Bets Three Thousand to
SIX Hundred on the General
Outcome.

Thirty-six hundred dollars in cash was
deposited in a certain natior al bank IN
Omaha yesterday afternoon, representing
a bet of $1,000 to $500 that Taft would be
elected.
This information was given to The Bee
by an official of the bank where the de-
posit was made.

know how some real betting was going
on said the banker. I'VE have heard so
much of this talk about Bryan money and
democratic confidence. do rot care to
give you the names of the men who made
the bet"
The fact is that Taft money went begging
all day yesterday. Down at the Merchants
hotel in the afternoon a democrat was
making a talk about how much he would
bet on the Peerless Leader and when half
dozen takers jumped 10 the front at
once this man got clear out OF the place.

chise tomorrow. He was accompanied

ecutive office staff and a few newspaper
men The president will reach Washing
ton on his return tomorrow evening and
will receive the election returns at the
White House.
Final reports on the exact condition of
the political situation which reached the
White House today from all quarters Of
the country indicate that President Roose-
welt maintains the highly optimistic feel
ing he has held throughout the campaign
regarding the ultimate success of the can
didacy of William II. Taft for the presi-
dency.
In a single sentence this feeling of ex-
treme confidence is expressed by President
Roosevelt. who in speaking of the hotly
contested campaign Of the republicans
against the democrats, declared:
We've got them Beaten to a frazzle."
In administration circles there is an
equally strong feeling Of confidence for
the success OF the republican ticket.
The probable weather throughout the
country election day was predicted today
by Forecaster Garroto of the weather
bureau
1T looks like fair weather over the en-
tire country Tuesday. except in the gulf

RAILROAD HAND Is SHOWN
Word Sent from Headquarters to Cast
Ballots for Shallenberger
IS UNDER THEIR BAN
Railway COmmIssiOner williams Also
on the Railroad BAD List and
Cowgirl Recommended for
Commissioner.

The Nebraska railroads have shown their
hands and are out against Sheldon.
Two years ago 1t was known that the
railroads favored shalienberger. The letter
of Tom Allen. state chairman, then as
now. begging the democratic press Of the
state to publish editorials favoring the
railroad side of the fight for terminal tax
alton proved the tie-up. Governor Sheldon
was then, as now. openly fighting for re-
moval Of the affairs of the state from rail-
road domination. He signed all the reform
bills passed by the last legislature. none
Of which we're especially relished by the
railroads and several very obnoxious to the
bosses. Among these were the law giving
life to the railway commission; requiring
railroads to pay their taxes and at the
same time and in the same manner as
other citizens; reducing freight rates; re-
ducing the rates charged by express COM
panies; the 2-cent fare law; the terminal
tsx.law and other similar bills. It is to
take vengeance of Governor Sheldon for
these measures that the railroads are now
fighting him.
Monday a general alarm was sent to
every Burlington and Union Pacific station
agent in Nebraska, ordering them to do all
that can be done for Shallenberger Just
how far this order will affect the result
is not known The Railway Employees
association was already lined up for Shall
lenberger, and 1t may not be that the
general order will have much effect out
side the employees.
Railway Commissioner Williams is also
included in the denunciation, and the in
structions from Omaha railway head
quarters are to vote for Cowgirl.

Leaders OF both parties agree that Gov

but the republicans say that the difference
will not be 50 great AS to imperil the gov
ernor's chance for re-election. They base
this claim partly upon the opposition to
Governor Hughes which developed prior to
his nomination, to the unity of the demo-
cratic party, TO the personal popularity
claimed for the democratic candidate up-
state. and to the historic fact that New
York governors running for second term
usually receive greatly reduced vote.

their attempt to save their own lives"
Mrs. Hams in her statement published to-

attacks on her character is that they were
the only way in which the Hams brothers
could justify themselves before the public
and manufacture public sympathy in the
community from which the jury before

Mrs. Hams alluded to the letters as hav-

that the charges against her suggested by
the letters are false. She affirms that she
has endeavored to keep silent under pro-
vocation because her replies must neces-

low the Bronx" today, Governor Hughes
delivered ten speeches In this city
before midnight. The local republican
leaders are working upon the belief that
they will hold the Bryan majority in
greater New York to the neighborhood OF
5000 and that Mr.. Taft will come down to
the Bronx with a plurality from the up
state counties sufficient to overcome the
democratic vote IN the city and leave
margin OF 10000 in his favor.
The democrats claim that Mr.. Bryan will
have a sufficient majority in greater New
YORK more than TO offset even an unusu-
ialy heavy republican vote from upstate.
fTheY claim that party unity prevails in
every section Of the state for the first time
In a decade and are depending upon the
labor vote, they declare. to turn the tide
in their direction.
The result as TO the state tickets remain
IN the balance and the confident claims of
success put forth by both sides are ap-
pRtently based more upon hope than upon
definite Information. Political observers

"I have just come out Of New York
state with the conviction that tomorrow

1--WE all of us recognize New York as a
pivotal state. and I speak advisedly when

vail there.
The democratic plurality in New York
city will not be sufficient to overcome
the tremendous republican vote which will

LOS ANGELES, Sept. "a, 1908.
My Dear Aunt Laurie:
had a very pleasant time all through
vacation, but think one of the hap
piest days was spent at the beach.
A lady friend, my mother, my two
sisters and myself decided to go to the
beach for a day. We got up quite
early and left Los Angeles about 8
o'clock in the morning. When we got
to Venice we took a walk out to the
end of the wharf. When we got back
we walked down by the shore, and my
sisters and / took off our shoes and
stockings and went in wading for a
while. After we put our shoes on we
walked up and watched the boats in
the water for little while. Then we
went back to the pavilion and got our
lunch ready and ate 1t.
After we had finished our lunch we
walked up by the little train and took
a two-mile ride on it, which we en-
joyed very much.
Then we took a walk up to Ocean
Park. My little sister and / got a
bathing suit and went in bathing. We
STAYED in the water about an hour and
had lots of fun.
After we came out of the ocean and
had got dressed we all took walk
around the town at Ocean Park.
We got some ice cream and candy
and had a very pleasant time.
Soon after we came home, thinking
we had had a very pleasant time.
