HITCHCOCK GETS
FROST AT LINCOLN
Few Attend Meeting and Fol-
lowers of Bryan Noticeable
for Absence.
HOW THE DEMOCRATS FEEL
tFrom a staff correspondent.)

Lincoln, Oct 24.-(Special. )-"Can
I conscientiously and consistently
vote for Senator Hitchcock after vot-
ing for President Wilson," appears to
be question uppermost with demo-
Gratis.
The small number attending the
meeting last night when Senator
Hitchcock was billed to speak to the
members OF the democratic county
committee and democratic workers
in general, has caused no little worry
among supporters o'fthe senator to-
day. Attention is called to the fact
that neither Mayor Charles Bryan
nor many of his very close personal
friends or friends Of William J. were
present. Some of them were in the
Lindeil hotel lobby at the time the
meeting was held, but did not attend,
which again brings up the question
whether after defeating both Of the
Bryans at the primary, the Mullen
Hitchcock combination will be able
to whip them into line for the very
men who less than six months ago
were saying uncomplimentary things
about the Bryans.
Senator Thorn.
Discussing the matter today a we'll
known Lincoln business man said:
"It is a very serious problem for
me to settle. Suppose I vote for
President Wilson, can vote for Sena-
tor Hitchcock with any assurance that
he will stand by the president, If
elected, any better than he has in
the past four years? am pretty well
informed as to the record of Senator
Hitchcock during the present ad-
ministration. ! know that he has been
more than once thorn in the side Of
the president on seve raj matters that
Mr.. Wilson wanted to be made into
laws. When | look at those things
| sometimes wonder if republican
would not have given our democratic
president just as good support as has
Mr.. Hitchcock.
"We do not expect very much sup
port from republican senator for a
democratic president, just as republic
cans do not expect much support from
democratic senator for a republican
president, but both parties do expect
that senators of their won political
belief will support president on mat
ters of general welfare of the people,
or what the party believes is of gen.
eral welfare to the people whether it
is or not.
Take No Chances. r.
Consequently it is hard matter
for me to determine just what to do.
The way | feel now would much
rather take chances on some good
wide-awake progressive republican
than | would on reactionary demo,
crat, whom we know will go back
on the president, because he has done
it so often the past four years that
he will do it again, in all probability
il he gets chance. Therefore, feel.
ing as | do, ] am not able to say that
| will vote for Mr.. Hitchcock. Per
haps may change my mind, but
there are so many of us feeling the
way | have spoken that it looks to
me as if there might be serious diff.
ficultics for Mr. Hitchcock to sur.
mount if he expects the votes OF rea
| Wilson democrats"

Britons Secure
Ground Gained On
Somme Monday

London, Oct. 24.-"The ground
gained by us yesterday in the neigh
borhood OF Gueudecourt and Les
boeufs (on the Somme 'front.', has now
been fully secured" the war Office
announces today. ...
During the night there was moth
ing to report except intermittent
shelling of both sides,
an answer to the claim that the
gains of Saturday between Schawben
redoubt and Lesads we're won only
at the expense of heavy losses on our
part, it may be noted that the troops
engaged. which took over 1000
prisoners, had only about 1900 cas-
ualties."

Berlin, Oct. "a (By; Wireless to Say
ville)-The capture of the Russian
town of Rashova, in Dobrudja on the,
Danube below Tchernavoda, was an
nounced today by the war office.
Medjidie, on the Tchnervado- Con-
stanza railroad, also has been cap
lured.- The army OF Field Marshal
Won Mackensen has taken prisoner
more than 600 Roumanians and Rus
slams.
The announcement follows:
"The enemy is yielding in confu-
sion before our right wing. The pur-
suing cavalry Of the Teutonic allies
has reached the district of Tiara
Murat, sixteen miles northwest of
Constanza. Medjidie and Rashova
were captured after violent fighting.
The total booty, including that re-
ported on October 2l, is sevcnty-fives
officers, 6,o93 men, one flag, seventy
two machine guns, twelve cannon and
one mine thrower. The losses of the
Russians and Roumanian reinforce
uents hastily sent in are heavy.
"The fortress Of Bucharest has been
once more bombarded.'
Fall Of Constanza Expected.
Paris, Oct. 24-The capture Of Con-
stanza by the Teutonic allies, although
not unexpected, nevertheless puts
damper on the enthusiasm aroused by
the continued progress of the entente
allies on the front in Picardy. French
commentators do not unduly exag-
gerate the importance of the achieves
ment of Field Marshal Won Macken-
sen, whose action up 10 the present
time is considered here as defen-
sive one in shortening his front SO
as to hold it better with fewer men.
| They point out the only way he
could do this is to advance, since, it
he fell back, his front would, on the
contrary, be heightened insofar as he
succeeded. These observers say also
that if he manages to tie up the
Russo -Roumanian forces in Dobrudja
by holding narrow front slightly
| south of the railroad he will not be
slow to employ his troops thus re-
leased to act in direct correlation with
the Austro- German army operating in
Pennsylvania, which they assert is
the essential front from which alone
Bucharest can be attacked with any
chance Of decisive success.
! Long before that It Is believed here
| Roumania with the help of the al
lies will be in position to turn the
tables upon its enemies. French crit
lies assert this belief seemingly Is JUS

manians are maintaining in the pass

Bucharest, Oct. 2.-(Via London.)
--Roumanian troops made an attack
yesterday along the whole Oituz front
near the Transylvanian-R Roumanian
border. The war office announces the
capture OF ten machine guns and sew
eral hundred prisoners.
Serbs Win In Macedonia.
Paris, Oct. 24-Serbian troops
operating in the Cerna region on the
| Macedonian front have won new
success, according to today's an
nounccment by the war office. A
counter attack launched by German
and Bulgarian troops was stopped by
the Serbian artillery. The Serbians
then attacked the opposing lines and
captured several trenches.
