Lush Fund and Brewery Money Will
Not Avail, He Says.
sEARLE SAYS SUTTON SURE
He Is Out Next Congressman" De-
cleres Chairman of Committee.
HEELERs FLUSH WITH MONEY
Democratic Cohorts Have More Cash
Than They've Seen in Many a
Day-LiquOr Interests StiII
Contributing Lavishly.

on the eve OF election day, each side is
claiming victory In Douglas county and
the state Of Nebraska.
The democrats nave the slush fund and
the automobiles, but we have the men and
the argument" said Chairman Baker OF
the county republican central committee
Monday noon, consequently. we are bound
10 win. Right must and will prevail"
'Dahlman will sweep not only Douglas
county, but the entire state" said Tom
Flynn, chief lieutenant of the Dahlman
forces
we do not expect to win this time, 50
far as electing any Of our men to office,
the socialist leaders say, but we are
building for the future"
This. in brief, is an index to the utter
ances Of confidence coming from the diff
ferent political parties.
One thing stands out as a certainty. The
weather in Douglas county and through
out Nebraska is going to be ideal--at least
the United States weather bureau has given
out such information as a certainty. and
the weather forecast from the Omaha sta
dor seldom goes wrong.
Fair and but little change in tempera-
ture,' ia the way the official bulletin reads.
Local democracy's pletnorlc purse re-
plenished by the brewers is stin holding
out with a falthfulness that would do
CT edit to the tabled cornucopia, and here,
there and everywhere money is being dis
pensed with prodigal hand. Every chauf-
feur in town, as well as hack aivers,
walters and others Of that type have
money by the handful-an era of pros
perity which was not so noticeable a month
or so ago.
Lavish Expenditures.
Perhaps never before In the political
| history of Nebraska has there been a
campaign in which any party has made
such lavish expenditure 1t is generally
understood that the money comes from
! the brewery interests, aided by supple.
mental contribution from the National
| Association of Liquor Dealers. which
body, it is said. is anxious that Hitch.
cock be sent to the senate.
! The republicans have money enough &c
pay for legitimate campaign expenses
but none to throw away" said Secretary
Ostrom. I'VE are Furthermore ready anC
! willing TO make public the source OF
every dollar entering into our fund" con,
tinued Mr. Ostrom.
Reports from various sections of the
state favor Aldrich and the republican
state ticket in nearly every county, anC
indicate that they will come to Dougla,
county with enough reserve to overcom,
any advantage that Dahlman may hav,
! in the city of Omaha contingency
which the republican leaders do not con
! cede, because, according to republican
estimates. Aldrich will carry Douglas
county.
