C. 0. P. COMMITTEE
FEELING CONFIDENT
Chairman Beach at Lincoln
Sees Only Signs of Weak
ened Demo Position.
KENNEDY STEADILY GAINS

(From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Oct. 29.-(Special. AT
the beginning of the last week OF the
campaign the republican state com
mittee feels confident that the finish
will see the republican state and sena-
torial ticket safely landed.
As far as Hughes is concerned, the
committee feels that the state may be
counted for the republican candidate.
In the opinion OF well known re-
publican, those who are supporting
Hughes are not talking very much.
They have been thinking the matter
over and will vote right when the time
comes"
Sentiment Fixed.
As an evidence of changing senti.
ment and an indication of how
Hughes stands with the business in
terests of the country, polls of the
business blocks Of Lincoln show q
decided Hughes color, every block sc
far giving Hughes majority with
the exception OF the Young Men.
Christian association building, wher.
many students are rooming, which
gave Wilson a very small lead.
Probably no business block in tn.
city gives as good an idea Of condi
tons as they exist as the First Ma
tional bank building. This building
was polled yesterday and gave Hughe

Demos Give Up Hope.
1t is rumored, and it comes from
very reliable source, that the demo
cratic state committee has given U
hope OF landing the state ticket. wit
possibly one exception. 1t Is ais
we'll known that the polls taken b
democrats in all parts of the stat
show a great falling off in Hitchcoc
support and, OF course, correspond

been apparent to those who have bee
watching the situation closely that til

Look Out tor Roorbacks.
/ Chairman Ed Beach Of the repul
lican state committee urges the vote
OF the state not to be switched by ar
campaign stories sprung when thel
is no chance to refute them. Gel
orally speaking campaign stol
against any candidate sprung in Il
closing days of the campaign may
counted upon as false and deliver'
with the one purpose Of causing
stampede to q defeated candidate. M
Beach therefore urges the voters
be careful.

Mr.. Beach was highly amused tn
morning in reading that Henry Mo
