Farmers and ~Laborites,- Not

Melbourne, Nov. 2--The women of
Australia voted almost as readily to
send their sons and swesthearrs TO
war as did the male voters.
An analysis of incomplete returns of
the referendum on CONSUMPTION today
showed on early reports that the
measure was defeated because Of the
women's vote were untrue
While the percentage of women who
voted against CONSUMPTION was slightly
larger than the percentage of men.
the difference was not marked enough
to turn the tide
The Australian farmers, coming to
the support of one faction of the lab
orites, really defeated the measure
They voted overwhelmingly against
CONSUMPTION. fearing "a shortage Of
farm labor

of $1,000 against CONSUMPTION. wit h

Democrats Brand 0'Leary Con-
ference Blow at Loyalty.
BY GEORGE CREEL.

The authenticated minutes Of the
American Independence Conference
prove the existence Of a secret organ
izatiOn that puts allegiance TO foreign
powers above allegiance TO toe United
States. they prove that this body ap
pointed a committee to wait upon
Candidate Hughes TO demand his re-
pudiation Of the telegram endorsing
Roosevelt's Maine speech; they prove
that this committee reported a high
ly satisfactory conference" with Can
didate Hughes. they prove that Jus
tee CohaIan OF New York proposed a
financial arrangement with the Re
publican national committee and that
upon the report OF his conference with
the Republican leaders. Cohalan was
rendered q vote of thanks for his good
work. they prove that Immediately
after the secret conference between
Hughes and the committee, Candidate
Hughes attacked the mail seizures
and British blacklist
Candidate Hughes has admitted
that he held an hour and a half cen
ference with jeremiah O'Leary and
the three other members Of the COM
n1irtee.
jeremiah O'Leary has admitted that
even while President Wilson was
branding him before the nation as
dis1oyaI citizen. he was comforting with
the Republican candidate for the pres
idency.
The issue is fundamental Divided
allegiance means national disaster and
national death It is not claimed that
any large number Of 1Oreign born Cit
liens are guilty of organized treason
It Is claimed that from the first a
small group Of conspirators have plot
ted against President Wilson and the
peace and Justice Of the United States
Where does Candidate Hughes stand
on this issue
Fighting under his banner are
Roosevelt Bacon Choate and the
Morgans. all hating Wilson because
he had not taken his foreign policy

of the case in connection with a mo-

feet that he. Gray, saw Larimer shoot

an accident But il is not because of

Friends of Hugh Larimer who did not
believe Gray saw the shooting and who
did not believe he would testify under
oath as he did in the affidavit also
made efforts to find him
few days ago Gray was brought
hack to Topeka from Kansas City by
men who were on his bond Then he
went before. the county attorney and
others and made an affidavit in which
he repudiated everything credited to
him in the original affidavit He
made affidavit that he did not see the

HURL "HYPHENATE" AT HUGHES:
ADAMS0N LAAW A GOLD BRICK
Republicans Claim Labor Lead
ers Disavow S-Hour Law.
81 GEoRGE @. HILL.

That President " iIson and con-
gress HANGED the heads of the railway
broJherhoods a gold brick when they
gave them the Adamson law Is COM
ing to be generally appreciated by rail-
way and other wage earners- The in
dications are that the brotherhoods
themselves will have TO appeal TO con-
eress to repeal the law. The law pro-
vldes that eight hours shall - be
deemed a days work and the measure
and standard of d days work for the
purpose of reckoning the compensa-
ton Of ALL employees. etc
Many able lawyers including those
employed by the labor unions, believe
that this means that a railway train
man who completes his run in less
than eight hours can be paid only for
the time worked. that # ne com pIetes
IT IN hours. for instance, he can be
paid only SIS OF a days wage, 50 that
If his ordinary pay Is SIS. he can be
paid only $3-T5- This is the view of
Milton L CIawson. leading labor union
attorney of Indiana
Others insist that the law applies to
PASSENGER as well as 70 freight train
men Grand Chief Stone of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
has sent out a circular letter to all
members OF that brotherhood saying
he has been receiving many letters
asking what the law means and that
We are not III p0SlElON TO give any
accurate information on this subject.
because we do not know Just what the
law means
As the railway men would not stand
for being paid less than a days wage
when they complete their runs in less
than eight hours, and as it was never
intended that the law should apply to
passenger trainmen, the indications
are that the brotherhoodS will con-
cIude that they have been film
TANNED and ask congress to repeal
the law before it goes into effect thus
leaving them precisely where they
were before the law was enacted, both
as to wages and as to hours
The course of so many railway pres
idents in coming out for President
Wilson after the passage of the Adam
son law is beginning to be entirely IN
derstandabIe. So, too. is the strong
swing of union and nOn-union labor
men back to Charles Evans Hughes
It's no easy task to fool the labor
ing men of the country more than a
few DAYS at time.

Early in the war when the French

Connolly Attempts
to Prejudice the
Voters

By the way don't the voters think Mr. Con-
nelly pretty hard up for campaign material
when he resorts to the "extravagant use OF
money by having expensive plate matter pre-
pared with his picture, to publish the statement
that Mr.. Benton stands well even outside the
Sixth Congressional District? In addition to the
generous and universal Endorsement that Mr.
Benton is receiving from all classes of people at
home. Missouri banker also thinks well of Mr.
Benton as congressional timber. What a ter
rible charge The time WAS when bankers
Endorsement would prejudice the voters, and Mr..
Connolly is resorting TO this old stuff But when
the farmers and everybody else are riding in
automobiles, many owning bank stock and all
getting rich by the sale of our livestock and ag-
ricuIturaI products at WAR PRICES, no one
viii be fooled by such methods. The question
naturally arises, has Connolly ever done any
thing a. home or abroad to receive such praise7
Mr.. ConneIIy has been IN Congress four years
VIII he or his friends name one bill that he ever
evsn offered, to say nothing about it becoming
a law, while he has been Congressman, for the
benefit of single man, woman or child of the
Sixth Congressional District of Kansas His

his mileage and extras, viii amount to over
$50, 000 and what has he ever done to earn the
