Talk to Chadr0n People

Chadron, Neb,, Oct. 2.--(Special
Telegram. 1.-The republican national
campaign was opened here today by
an address from w. L. Crank, Of
Denver. The speaker was introduced
by Judge F. S. Baird, chairman Of
the county committee, A large au-
dience OF men and women listened
most enthusiastically to court trial
in which the democratic administra-
ton was convicted OF breaking every
plank in its platform, except the one
on tariff. The result OF the Under
wood tariff up to the European war
was shown and il was stated that
we need to prepare by enactment
of protective tariff before the war
closes.
Woodrow Wilson changed his mind
on thirty important questions. The
country's position in Mexico is war,
though called "watchful waiting" and
costing more. ..
Charles Evans Hughes stand on
labor and on woman suffrage was
praised. Applause was unstinted and
the farmers say it was the best
speech heard in years, The Chadror

Hughes Men Smile
At Denis Bravado,
Beach Is Elated

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. Especial y
Chairman Beach OF the republican
state committee simply smiles when
democrats report republicans going to
vote for Wilson. The chairman has
done little travelling himself, and
probably no state chairman has ever
in the short time committee has
been organized, got in closer touch
with conditions out in the state.
He knows that while there may be
some former republicans signifying
their intention to vote for Wilson, he
knows that this is going to be more
largely offset by democrats who are
open in their declaration to vote for
Hughes, so that 'bulling the Wilson
market" along that line is causing no
worriment on the part of the men
at headquarters who are running the
campaign.
DR.. |. H. Dillon of Auburn visited
headquarters this morning, and said
that Nemaha county would show up
finely when the votes were counted.
Republicans generally have not been
fooled by the showing OF the demo-
Gratis and have not forgotten the poor
way the country was going before
the European war began, and that
but for it our condition now would be
as bad as during the times OF the soup
house and bread lines.
Harry G. Thomas and DR.. Jeneson
of Harvard were also visitors at head
quarters this morning bringing re-
ports which made the chairman feel
good.
aMyor William Madgett of Has
tings, candidate for the republican
nomination for governor, was seen by
the Bee at the Lincoln hotel today.
Mr.. Madgett is here looking after
some matters in connection with CITY
affairs at Hastings, but was not ad-
verse to talking a little to the Bee
man.
The mayor said that he was not
talking politics very much on this
trip, but volunteered the information
that Adams county was looking
mighty good for the republicans. He
thinks that Hughes will poll big vote
in that county and hopes to see the
whole republican ticket elected in Ne.

DOWN AT LONDON
Ten German Aircraft Raid Lon
don and Points on British
East Coast.
FOURTH VISIT IN A MONTH

London, Oct. 2,-Ten Zeppelins
took part in last nights raid over
England Two of them attempted to
attack London. One was driven away
and the other was destroyed. An
official account of the raid follows:
Ten airships crossed the east coast
last night between 9 o'clock and mid
night One airship approached the
north OF London at about 10 p. d.. It
was driven off by gun FIRE and pur sued
by asroplanes. 1t attempted to re-
turn from the northwest. but was at
tackled by guns and aeroplanes and
brought to earth in flames near Pot
ter's Bar shortly before midnight.
"A second airship attempted to at,
tack London from the northeast and
was driven off. Bombs were dropped.
No reports Of casualties or damage
iIave yet been received.
Many Bombs Dropped.
The remaining airships wandered
aifnlcssly over the eastern counties;
In Lincolnshire bombs were dropped
promiscuously, most Of them in open
country without doing damage"
Friends OF Count Zeppelin were
alarmed when they learned that an
other airship had been brought down
in England last night, says the Ann
sterdam correspondent OF the Ex-
change Telegraph company. The
count intended to take part in the
raid, the correspondent eabled, but, a
message sent to Germany elected the
report that. at the last moment, owing
to the persuasion OF his family, he
decided not to join the raiders
Bodies of Crew Incinerated.
Except for part OF the envelope
there is left hardly vestigc recognlz-
able as part OF the huge airship which
was brought down last night near
Potter's bar. The Zeppelin burned
more fiercely than the one previously
destroyed, which like it fortunately
fell in an open field. ......s ..
The members OF the crew were in.
cinerated and the bodies scattered
over the field ON which the airship
alighted some eighty yards from a
farmers cottage.
The Zeppelin appeared to remain
almost stationary m the air for three
minutes after the envelope burst into
flames. The tongues of fire seemed
to lick along the bag until il was all
ablaze. Even then 1t dropped so slow
ly that many persons who had moi
awakened until the cheering aroused
them we're able to reach their win
dows in time to see 1t fall.
Neither the airship which was de
stroyed nor the second one, which at
tackled London, succeeded in pcne'
trating the outer defcnses OF the CAPT
tai. Little or no damage was done BY
either OF them or by the eight Others
which operated over eastern counties
