Complaints
of Car Service
Owners of Lincoln Lines So Busy
Buying Stock that Cars Come and
Go Rather Fitfully.
(From a staff Correspondent }

NtTOm SlaII correspondent
LINCOLN, Oct. 31.-(Special.)- 1.-The street
railway service In Lincoln has become so
deplorably bad and so many citizens are
protesting against the way in which the
public is being served. that 1t is very
probable the State Railway commission
will be asked to adopt a few rules and
regulations which in other cities are ad-
hered to without resort to law. Already
Informal complaints have been made and
1t Is probable a formal complaint is on
the road.
There is no way for the citizen to know
on which side of the street the car is to
stop, for some of the cars stop on one
side, some on the other and frequently
on neither. 1t is not infrequent for a
wOuld-be passenger to stand on the street
corner for fifteen or twenty minutes and
wait for a car only to be passed up with
out even a look from the train crew
The officials of the company, however
have been pretty busy during the last
few months buying and selling stock and
getting ready to fight the suit brought by
County Attorney Tyrrell and this may
account for the bad service given the
people, who are paying the bills.

Democrats Mail
Bogus Circulars
on Republicans
They Use a Fake Signature of Alleged
Organization of Progressive Repub-
licans Which Exists Nowhere.

LINCOLN, oct. S1.-(Special THE demo-
cratic committee fired its dum-dum
bullets a little too soon. Following out
the same plan used last year when the
committee sent out bogus tax circulars to
deceive the people, bogus circulars of the
same stripe are being mailed. though Of
a different nature. Fortunately, these
have been uncovered in time to inform
the unthinking of their deceptive char
acter.
The fake circulars purport to emanate
from an organization of bolting republic
cans and start off by saying there Is
nothing worse than a standpat republi-
can or a Tammany democrat. Then the
circular informs the reader that Judge
Barnes and Judge Fawcett are standpat
republicans who must be defeated in
order to save the party from Vic Rose
water and Bill Hayward.
The circulars have attached to them
this printed signature: Progressive Re
publican League of Lancaster County"
OF course, there is no such organiza-
ton in Lancaster county.
The bogus circulars were mailed at Co
lumbus and consist of a reharsh of edi-
torial exhortations in the World-Herald
recast in letter form.
The bogus circulars were set on
linotype machine and evidently In some
office in Columbus. They were first dis
covered down at Firth and in other
towns in Gage county. So far no other
county has reported them, but 1t Is pre-
sumed that between now and election day
every county in the state will have been
! flooded with them. p"
lust a year ago this same democratic
committee sent out false and malicious
statements through the mails, in one in
stance getting Elmer E. Thomas to sign
the letter; for another DR.. e. Arthur Carr
was the goat and to others the name
! "Anti-Tax League" was signed.
The circulars sent out this year aim to
deceive progressive republicans with the
| idea that a number of republicans II

other county.
Republicans over the state who nave
had TO deal with democratic tactics in the
past were watching for the circulars OF
some such dirty work, so the democrats
were caught early in the game 1t is
known that the democratic committee
purchased 10000 stamped envelopes
earlier in the campaign so that it may
be expected that their bogus literature
will be widely distributed.
