Metcalfe stumping State.

Richard L. Metcalfe of Omaha. for
mer Governor of the Panama Canal
Zone. is stumping the state for the
democrats, from Wilson down the list.
He Is urging progressives to get into
the democratic bandwagon and be in
line for the big feast which will be
spread after November I. I'VE hardly
blame the. Drogressives for being
scared by what a complete republican
victory would do to the United States
Senate. At present calculations it
would hand the chairmanships of al
most all of the important committees
to standpatters of the most grabbed,
cantankerous and shark-toothed sort
men who hate the people with an
undying hatred"-that is a specimen of
Mr.. Metcalfe's appeal to the progress
sives. Having served with Joseph w.
Folk. John Lind, W. j. Bryan and
Robert H. Cole of Pasadena, Cal, in
connection with Carranzas recognition
by Uncle Sam, Mr.. Metcalfe is familiar
with affairs in Mexico, and on that ac-
count is answering critics of the ad-
ministration's Mexican policies.

NEBRASKAISS STILL
0ND0UbTFUL LIST
Republicans Expect Victory in
Elections, But Do Not
Claim Landslide.
SENATORIAL FIGHT WARM

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OMAHA. Neb., October 13.-"Out
where the west begins" there have
support an opinion other than that
Nebraska is in the doubtful column,
with the political pendulum oscillating
slightly toward the republican side.
This oscillating is due to the normal
numerical strength Of the G. o. P. in
this state. Several republican leaders
were asked for their candid opinions
of the situation here, and in substance
they replied: I'VE expect to carry the
state for Hughes. but we are not claim
ing a landslide at this time. 1t is a
close contest"
The big parties are in the throes of
desperate contest. The national
committees are being importuned to
send as many strong speakers as pos
sible into Nebraska. Efforts are being
made to arrange few dates for Theo-
dore Roosevelt. An itinerary for
Hughes already has been announced.
Point to Presidents Visit.
The democrats are pointing with
pride to the recent visit of President
Wilson to the metropolis of this state
The real political significance of that
visit has been exaggerated by those
who took advantage of the psychology
ical moment for democracy. Before
the President had been invited to
Omaha by a non-political organization
the city had planned a pretentious his
torical pageant in connection with,
semt-centennial celebration of Ne
braska's statehood. The magnitude of
the occasion had been assured before
the President accepted the invitation,
but his visit naturally added to the
success Of the celebration. The oc-
casion was devoid of political sig
nifcance save as the democrats sought
to make for campaign purposes. Fore
most among the receiving party with,
the President on the reviewing stand
were prominent republicans. The. re-
ception accorded the President was
splendid western welcome to the chief
executive of the nation. Republicans,
however. do not lose sight of the fact
that Mr.. Wilson's visit served to heart
en- the democrats, who claim that the
event was a boost for the administra-
ton.

The Hawaiian Islands have suf-

Almost every other section of the

absolutely dependent upon ocean car
riers to keep up our communication

We had carefully built up. through a
consistent campaian, an increased

fact that We have less number of
steamers on the run this year than
last This prospective increase will
be knocked out If the strike is not
