COUNTY RE-
 PUBLICAN TICKET
Complete Ticket Out-Planning to Place in Hands of Every White Voter Poster Giving Sketch of Each Candidate.

Little Rock, Oct 18.-The Republi- cans of Pulaski county have put out a complete ticket, and are planning to place in the hands of every white voter of the county a poster giving a sketch of each candidate. They will make a strenuous effort to elect some of their candidates, and profess to have hopes of being able to do so. Although the Republican party ma chine has cut loose from the negro, and read him out of their partisan counsels, the leaders say they have assurances that ninety-fve per cent of the negroes will vote the Republi- can ticket. On the other hand, the Democrats have no fear whatever of losing a single one of their candidates, and feel certain that every one will be elected by an increased majority.

 SUFFRAGIST VOTES
p.,;oviug There is a Fighting De1b rbanre to Carry Illinois Presi- dant Will Make Three Speech us us ;,, Chicago Thursday.

Asbury Park, N. J., Oct. 17:-presl- dent Wilson will go to New York to- ,norrow a and will leave for Chicago at o'clock in the afternoon on his third invasion of the Middle West.
 Encouraged by the reports of his .omnaign managers that there is a @ sood fighting chance to carry Illinois, Mr. Wilson has agreed to make three sneeches in Chicago on Thursday
 The program for the day calls for luncheon reception at the Chicago Press Club, which will be followed by or address to a non-partisan women's noot;nr at the auditorium in the af- tarnoon. The third speech will be de- l;vared at the Stock Yards pavilion before the New Citizens Alliance.
 The appeal for the votes of the women of Chicago is expected to be Mr. Wilson's greatest effort of the day. He has been informed that the sufragists are likely to decide with their ballots whether Chicago will go Democratic or Republican on Novem- her I. Mrs. Wilson will accompany the president and will appear at each of the three meetings. According to the schedule arranged the presiden- tial party will get back to Shadow Lawn at 11:45 o'clock on Friday night. Twenty-six brief stops will be made en route to and from Chicago. Op- timism> amounting almost to jubila- tiOn prevails at the executive offices here. Reports from the West and Middle West, telling of big drift in political sentiment to the Democratic candidate, continue to come in.
 Ohio is now counted for Wilson as a certainty and Indiana is decidedly in the balance. If Illinois can be won over, the presidents managers claim he can be reelected without New York state. Included in these calcu- latlons, however, are several Western states which the Republicans claim as a certainty

MYSTERY OF GERMAN
 ANSWER TOBE CLEARED
Note From Berlin Last Febru- ary Best Answer to Criticism of Governments Attitude on Lusitania Issue by Hughes.

=
 Washington, Oct. 17.-Mystery sur rounding the German note delivered to the State Department on February 9th last, and providing for a settle ment of the Lusitania dispute may soon be dissipated by the publication of the note.
 Officials who have seen the docu- ment asserted today that it is the best possible answer the administra- tion can make to criticisms of this governments attitude in that case by Charles E. Hughes and other Repub- lican campaign speakers.
 Secretary of State Lansing has not permitted the note to be published, although it is understood to mark the settlement of all questions relating to the sinking of the Lusitania, except the amount of indemnity to be paid by Germany.
 The note, it was learned today, is about 200 words long, and expresses Germans profound regret that Amer jeans lost their lives when the Lusi- tania was sunk. It does not disavow the act on behalf of the German gov ernment
 The German reason for refusing to make a disavowal was that she was acting in retaliation against the illegal blockade proclaimed by Great Britain.
 Admission German Right.
 Acceptance of the note by the United States, it was declared today, was an admission of Germans right of retaliation. But this government maintained and Germany admitted that such retaliation must not jeopar- dize the lives of American citizens in the enjoyment of their rights.
 Germany claimed the right to at tack the Lusitania. According to German contentious the action of Great Britain on November 19, 1909, declaring the North sea a war zone, justified the German government in retaliating, which took the form of proclaiming the waters surrounding the British isles war area. Neither nation having a right to extend its jurisdiction around the three-mile limit, neither could operate there to jeopardize the lives or property of neutrals without assuming full res possibility.
 Germany sought to induce Ameri- cans to keep off British merchant yes sells, but the State Department main tained that they had a right to travel on such ships. The main contentious of the State Department being con- ceded by Germany, difficulty arose over the expression of regret to be made by Germany. This finally was decided upon and the note was de- posited at the State Department, where it still lies, unpublished.
 There never has been a complete explanation of the secrecy with which Secretary Lansing has surrounded the note. It is believed in some quarters to be caused by the alleged American admission, that while the attack on the Lusitania was not legal, it was justified, although provision ought to have been made for the safety of the

BUYING SENDS THE
 MARKET ON HIGHER
Prices Go Up About S2.00 Per Bale With Close at 35.39 Ad- vance-Market Active in the Late Trading.

New York, Oct. 17.-A renewal of excited general buying sent cotton prices about $2 per bale higher in the market here during today's trading, with March contracts selling up to 18.31c, or 43 points above last nights close and more than $7 per bale above the low level reached in the decline of a week ago yesterday. That position closed at 1S.27c with the general list closing very steady at a net advance of 35 to 39 points for the day.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 1 to ? points on overnight buying orders. There was enough realizing to cause some hesitation, but trade interests were good buyers and it was not until January reached the 18c level with active months sell ing about 20 to p points net higher that profit-taking became heavy enough to make much impression on prices. There may have been some selling for a reaction, as we'll as real izing on the early afternoon setback. which carried prices off dozen points or so from the top and at times the tone was rather unsettled.
 The market became very active in the late trading, with prices making new high records for the season on rebuying by sold-out longs, continued bull support and a broadening com- mission house demand which appeared to come partly from Southern sources. December sold up to 1S.0Sc and Janu- ary to 1S.19c, with thes general list showing net gains of about 36 to A points. Fears that tropical storm in the gulf might work into the belt encouraged the buying movement.
 The market closed very steady.

Summer Activities
Of the Fairgrounds

Superintendent English of the rec
reation board, notes that many of the
playground activities this summer
were of constructive nature, refer
ring particularly to the pushmobile
contests, lantern parades and the doll
shows. The boys were enthusiastic
in their efforts to excel in the CON
struction of their pushmobiles, and
both boys and girls took keen in
terest in making lanterns, while the
girls found pleasure in making doll
garments, which they exhibited at the
play centers.
THE pet shows instilled in the
minds of the children stronger re-
gard for their animal and bird friends,
this activity being humanitarian snd
instructive" said Mr. English.
i. Eight hundred children brought
Meir pets to the series of shows, and
many attended these exhibitions.
There were 1928 children taking part
in the lantern parades, and 1873 con-
testants entered in the pushmobile
contests, the championship race last
Wednesday being limited to twenty
four winners from the different play
grounds. In the pushmobile parade,
there were l52 machines" made by
the boys. The doll shows brought
$50 girls with their inanimate pets.

Woman Accuses Man Of
Paying Attention to Niece

At the point Of a leveled revolver,
Mrs. Matte Latimer, 2o0l Farnam
street, Saturday night marched Henry
Wendland, machinist, of 522 South
Twenty-fourth street, to police head
quarters, where she accused him of
paying too much attention to her
niece, Mrs. w. T. Boman, 2S05 Dodge,
mother of several small children.
She says she will prosecute him on
charge of disorderly conduct, in
police court. She is under bond as
complaining witness against Wend-
land.
The story Mrs. Latimer told at-the
station is a strange one. She says
her niece formerly lodged at her
house, and that Wendland frequently
called up on the telephone. Mrs.
Boman moved away some time ago,
and when man telephoned her last
night, Mrs. Latimer answered and,
impersonating her niece, made an APP
pointment.
When Wendland kept the appoint
ment and met her at Twenty-fourth
and Harvey, she pulled the gun and
marched him to the police station.
She said she caused Wendland's ar
rest in the interest OF Mrs Boman's
husband and children.
Wendland denies telephoning and
says he knows nothing OF the affair,
and so does Mrs. Boman.

PICK OF THE OPERA FIELD

A most interesting development in
the field OF music for the season oil
lol6-l9l7 is the opera company which
is being organized by c. A. Ellis Of
Boston for a limited number OF per.
formances of two operas chiefly in the
middle west. Mr.. Ellis is well known
to the musical public OF this country
1t was the suggestion of many Of
his friends through the middle west
that decided Mr.. Ellis to form an
operate company to give limited
series of performances during the end
of October and the early part Of No
vember. Arrangements have been
made by the Associated Retailers. OF
which George Brandeis, L. c. Nash
and c. c. Belden is the committee in
charge, tor it to appear at the Audi
torium in this city Monday, October
Is, and Tuesday, October "a.
Mr.. Ellis is to confine himself to
two operas, Bizet's Carmen" and
Verdis I'll Trovatore." For the prin-
cipal roles of these works he is engage
ing most distinguished artists. Ger
aldine Farrar has been engaged to
sing the name part in Bizet's fascinat-
ing Spanish opera. Miss Farrar's i'm
personation of Carmen has marked
the highest point yet reached by her,
She sang the role for the first time
in the Metropolitan opera house, New
York, in December, 1914, and may be
said to have. recreated the part. Other
principals in Carmen" will be the
French tenor, Lucion Muratore; Clar-
ence Whitehall and Helen Stanley.
These three artists have been, the last
year, prominent members of the Chi
cago Opera company and as such are
not unfamiliar in this city. The minor
parts in the opera will be adequately
cast.
For the performance Of III Trova-
tore" Mr.. Ellis is at this time in po-
sition to announce only three of the
principals. The part of Leonora will
be sung by Emmy Destinn; that Of
1A1aSSho W LOuisS llCiHCl, duu Tel :
rando by Leon Rothier. Nine. Hemer
has been member of the Metropoli-
tan Opera company of New York and
recently in Boston when that COM
pany had season there Hemer's
Azucena was one of the real sensa-
tons of the engagement. Emmy Des-
tim, a Bohemian by birth, was
brought to this country to the Metro
politan opera house, New York, by
the late Heinrich Conried. Her Leon
ora is as famous as Hemer's Azucena.
For many years the leading bass roles
in Italian and French opera at the
Metropolitan have fallen to Mr..
Rothier.
