Every republican speaker reporting

ed with the cordial reception he has
received in Nebraska" said Secretary
Beebe. this morning, commenting on
alleged polls showing preponderance
OF Wilson sentiment in this state.
II is a peculiar thing that the re-
publican state committee has been un-
able to discover any trace OF the large
numbers OF republicans reported by
the democratic press to be supporting
President Wilson for reelection. We
want to know ii those conditions ex-
ist, but so far we have not been able
to discover thing which clouds the
prospects for republican success in

Takes Broken Bow
Audience by Storm

Broken Box, Neb,, Oct. l3.--(Spe-
I cial Telegram.)-Dr. w. A. Huns
berger spoke here tonight before a
large audience. He praised the repub,
lican candidate for president as man
combining character and intellect with
judicial experience that fitted him
in an unusual wat for president of the
United States. He spoke of his splen-
did service to New York as governor
in investigating and running down the
insurance companies of New York!
which made his name familiar to the
people OF this country.
The speaker named the laws en-
acted under the Hughes administra-
ton the best, according to the Fed
Grafton Of Labor, that have been put
on the statute books of New York.
Laws in the interest of childhood,
youth and the protection OF woman
hood against the vicious classes, also
fifty-six labor laws better than any
that had ever been framed and en-
acted before. .
In sharp contrast to the republican
candidate the speaker turned to- Presi-
dent Wilson and stated that when
president ofSPrinceton college he de-
nounced labor unions as a greater
peril to the country than the corpor-
atoms and expressed himself as an
avowed advocate of the open shop.
The doctor made splendid i'm
preston and at times was unable to
proceed for the applause.

THE ships officers were the last to

ROUMANIA EXPLAINS
ATTITUDE IN WAR
King Asserts His Country Cast
Lot with Allies to Prevent
Meeting Fate of Belgium.
CONFIDENCE IN OUTCOME

E London, Oct. l3.-The Times pub
fishes an interview given to its CORE
spondent with the Roumanian army
by the king of Roumania, in which the
monarch appeals to the allies not to
permit his country to suffer the fate
of Serbia and Belgium.
"The Roumanians will not falter,"
the king said, "in their allegiance to
the cause nor can the. enemy wean
them from their faith in the allies.
"Yet the Roumanians pray that in
spite of their existing exigencies and
their own huge problems, the allies
will not allow the affairs of Roumania
that has staked its all in this conflict
to pass into the back OF their minds
and to suffer to such an extent that
it may meet the fate OF either Belgium
or Serbia"
Reason for Action.
King Ferdinand said that Rouna-
MIA had not been moved to enter the
war BY mere expediencyy but that its
decision was based on the biggest
principles Of nationality. 4
Against, Germany" continued his
majesty, there was, at the beginning
OF the war, no hostility, rather, per-
haps, friendship, for economically
Germany was an asset to the develop
ment Of our industry and potent in
strument in forwarding the prosper
ity OF our country. But with. the
progress OF the war, Roumania Began
to feel the subtle force of enemy in
trigue endeavoring in every way to
force us into the struggle against our
own real interests.
III Roumania has been criticized
heretofore, let the world consider its.
position. A small power with a small
army surrounded by giants faced a
practical problem.
Has Unbounded Confidence.
with a western frontier nearly
700 miles long, which alone was great
er than the English and French fronts
combined, and Bulgarian frontiers, al
most undefended and near its capital,
stretching for other hundreds OF
miles to the south, it had to await the
time when it could act with reason
able assurance OF f-protecting itself and
having the support OF its allies.
"A Small country in great war
which promises to last for at least an
other year, faces certainly internal
sacrifice and the consumption of its
resources. But such is the confidence
of Roumania in the justice of its
cause and the faith of its allies that
it has cast its lot with them. in the
conviction that its great associates
will see that it does not prove to be
the third small power destroyed in
this great conflict"
