STATE IS TURNING :
STRONG TO HUGHES
Letters to Republican Com
mittee Reveal Presidential
Candidate Far in Lead.
VOTERS SHOW ENTHUSIASM
tFram a Staff Correspondent.)

tFram Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Oct. 14.-(SpeciaL) THAT
there is growing sentiment favora-
BILE to Charles E. Hughes for presi-
dent is apparent from reports coming
to the republican state committee
from all parts of the state. Letters
have been pouring in during>thc last
week which indicate that should the
same changes continue until election
day, Hughes will carry the state by
not less than 10000.
This appears to be the opinion of
many who have been travelling over
the state and who have been in close
touch with conditions: The day after
Leslie M. Shaw spoke in Falls City,
Hughes and Fairbanks club was or
ganized with 400 names on the list.
When Mr.. Shaw spoke there the
crowd did not number over fifty peo-
pie, but the sentiment aroused by his
able arguments and convincing state
ments opened up degree of enthusi-
B, asm, according to. reports coming to
the state committee, which resulted in
the formation of the club within a
short time. These reports also carry
\ the information that twenty-eight
Wilson men changed to Hughes after
hearing Mr.. Shaw's speech,
A letter from McCook, where Mr..
Shaw spoke Thursday night to a
good crowd, brings the information
that the railroad men are thinking
seriously over the situation and that
there has been degree OF interest
aroused which will mean much to the
republican ticket.
Big Demand for Speakers.
Other speakers who have been tour
ing the state are bringing in like re-
ports. Requests for buttons, litera-
ture, and speakers are flooding the
headquarters of the committee. 1t is
understood that Governor Shaw may
be expected back in the state for a
few more speeches before the cam
paign closes and today the speaker
bureau had to refuse request for "a
return of R. W.. Devoe, republican
candidate for attorney general, for
speeches in Polk county.
A condition which is especially
pleasing to friends of Henry Clarke,
republican candidate for reelection as
railway commissioner, is the rapidly
changing feeling all over the state
that to put green man on the COM
mission at this critical time, when
rates are reaching a crisis for settle
rnent, would be decidedly unbusiness-
like. Just now experience and sound
Judgment is needed and they are
pointing to the fact that it would be
a sad mistake to put a man on the
commission who is so radical in his
views as the democratic candidate
for the commission, Mr.. Wilson.

hot air expert" said man TODAY

culties confronting the state settled

R. B. Howell is to preside at the

lican candidate, for United States SEN

Only a Few Members of Congress
Willing to Criticise the
President.

Comment on the Presidents message
on the submarine situation shows that
a ma jority of the members of the
House will back the Presidept. al
though there is general feeling that
the country does not desire hostilities.
Several of the leaders of the sentiment
that Americans should be warned off of
armed beliigerent ships refused to ex
press any opinion on the message to-
day. on the ground that it did not seem
wise to show a divided front on so
grave question as that presented by
the President. On the other hand. sew
eral republican leaders seemed to leap
at the opportunity to make a political
issue of the matter.

Representative Mann of Illinois, re-

The truth is the President is
Scotch Presbyterian and he hates the
Dutch. I did not see any reason for
the President to come to Congress to
read this message. 1t would have been
just as well for him to have given
it to the papers, in which we could
have read it. When the McLemore res
olution was up in the House ! said the
President wanted to involve us in war
with Germany; that his administration
was not neutral, and that l thought
this country should be neutral. His
message today shows he expects. If he

Keen Interest Exhibited In a
New York Center.
STORY OF ITS ACTIVITIES.
Many Organizations Cooperate In
Community Center on Permanent
Footins-Pian For the Entertainment
of Summer Visitors Feature.

New York.-The idea Of community
center is to strengthen the community
interest and spirit by common meet
ing place or center. where the people
may gather for enjoyment and to con-
slider together ways and means for the
betterment of the neighborhood The
interest in community welfare and en-
vironment is certainly more manifest
in small towns and cities than 1t is in
the large urban centers. This feeling
Of Immediate concern and regard for
what is happening in neiShborhood
is the natural result Of its influence on
ones family life. There is desire to
see the community develop h d grow
larger where one plans to live per-
manently. In large cities life is In.
clined to be individually selfish owing
to the fact that the stress OF living
and n diSinterest In the things which
do not concern oneself are very char
acteristic of the city resident.
The frequency with which people
move to and from Il neighborhood Is
another cause for a total lack Of In
terest in community welfare. Realiz-
ing this condition, the Peoples instl-
tute has secured from the board of
education permission to use the vari-
Gus school buildings as club centers In
which to develop the real community
spirit. Lenox community center Is
one of these centers in New York city.
1t Is governed by colored people and is
the first community center in the en-
tire country to be organized by them.
The story Of its organization and
growth is interesting.
After six weeks Of investigation of
the needs, social and civic, OF the
neighborhOOd known as Harlem, LenOX
community center was established in
July, 1915. A provisional committee
composed of forty-five prominent men
and women in the neighbOrhood was
formed to assist the executive secre-
tary sent by the Peoples institute to
,naugurate the center. This provisional
committee, subdivided into five work
ing committecs-finance. membership.
activities, constitution and nomination
launched the work most Immediately
needed in the community. such\a a
play street. Il penny lunch for children.
two weekly dances. public baths. free
game room and motion pictures.
The committee also proceeded to
work up the permanent organization
for which there would be a paid mem
bership. The present permanent organ
ization, which has been in existence
since January. 1916, is governed by Il
council OF twenty-five members. who
follow the custom set by the provi
sional committee and Immediately upon
their election subdivide themselves into
the five standing committees, 80 that
each person may know just which part
OF the center's development he or she Is
expected to look after.
