Hughes Men Wager
Odds On Victory

Even money that Sutton beats Ne
vile for governor marks the betting
at a local commission house.
Bettors posted dollar for dollar that
Hughes will carry California, Indiana,
Illinois and New York, Democrats
have been claiming that Indiana and
Illinois had subtle trend for Wilson
and they boast that New York is
doubtful.
Hughes ruled 10 to ~ favorite
in Wall street, according to adyices
received by the Omaha firm. This
shows a gain for Hughes, as some
days ago the odds were only 10 to g.
One bet of $500 to $3.50 was made

Wilhelm of this division commanded
the troops to fall in" at the CONNER

mess was served, and then, after pull
ing off few evening stunts and a
little musical entertainment, he called
the roll and mustered the men out OF
service.
This was the club that was TO raise

and the first of the year.
Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here
sang the fellows in lusty voices; but
the gang was not all there. II was a
beautiful evening. and then there were
little political meetings everywhere
and Halloween parties, and card
parties and apple bees. Those are the
reasons why the gang was not all
there. Still there were perhaps $50
present.

the fellows and sent them into the

Omaha Retail Grocers ..
Join National Society

The National Association of Retail
Grocers has taken the Omaha Retail
Grocers' association within its fold,
or rather the Omaha association has
finally decided to go in. This gives
the national body an increased mem
bership of some 300. R e
]. ]. Ryan of St. Paul, national
secretary, was in Omaha and spoke
to the grocers here. He pointed out
the advantage of being affiliated with
the national body, as this enables the
grocers to work as a unit in eliminat-
ing unfair competition and seeking
national legislation. Mr. Ryan de-
clared the national body opposed to

BEACH CONFIDENT
OF HUGHES VICTORY
Omaha is Crux of State Fight
and the General Trend is
Republican.
FARMERS AGAINST WILSON

Hughes and the whole state repub-
lican ticket will carry Nebraska il
Omaha republicans do their duty, ac-
cording to Chairman Beach of the
republican state committee, who COM
pleted a political canvass Thursday
morning.
"The vote in Lincoln is hard to
gauge accurately said Mr.. Beach,
"but the democrats are having just
as hard a time of it to find where
the Lincoln voters stand. In other
places, the trend is obviously toward
the republican candidates. Especially
is this true in the rural districts, where
the farmer is for Hughes and has as
reason for the faith that's in HIM
that Mr.. Farmer is bound to be the
goat of that Adamson law by paying
increased freight rates.
Hughes Stock Booms. \
"Oh, the demos are going to get an
awful jolt when the votes are-counted
in Nebraska. Within the last two
weeks Wilson's stock has slumped
steadily and Hughes and the rest Of
the republican ticket have profited
by big swing in their favor. About
the only place where Wilson is really
strong is in the railroad division
points, where men refuse to see the
double edge on the Adamson bill,
But we more than atone for the slight
losses in those places by big general
gains.
IF Omaha gives its normal repub-
lican support, and there is every indi-
cation that it will, all democrats will
be pessimists and all republicans will
be rosy optimists. In Omaha is the
crisis of the political fight"

to cause All the Chicago newspapers accept
this Interpretation.
The prostitution of political office to enhance
machine control is one of the disgusting side
lights on American life. In the Sachs case, a
benevolent institution designed and supported by
the taxpayers for the ameloriation Of human sui
fering for the fighting of the great white plague,
hitherto free from the corrupting influences OF
the professional boss, was to pass under the sin
lister influence of Chicagos municipal admins
tration.
1t is travesty on American citizenship that
not even benevolent and charitable institutions
belonging to the people can be kept free from
political corruption. 1t is disgrace when able
men, standing at the head of such institutions,
working at smaller salaries than they could make
if they were in active practice, are replaced by
political sycophants, who put the dollar above
suffering humanity.

A Victim Of Politics.

DR.. Theodore B. Sachs, former head Of the
municipal tuberculosis sanitarium of Chicago,
committed suicide there a few days ago. DR..
Sachs was one of the worlds authorities on tu-
of the problem. When he saw that the SANTA
RUM, dedicated to the cure of Chicago's con-
sumptives, was to be made pawn of political
ring, he believed his work had been defeated
and 80 he ended his life.
No one cares to justify suicide. A person
who ends his life because he fears to face a
crucial trial, is coward. But there are such
extenuating circumstances surrounding the death
of DR.. Sachs that one can say he died martyr
