Platte Republicans

Columbus, Neb, Nov. 4.-(Special
Telegram. )-Successful in every re-
spect was the republican meeting ad-
dressed by ex-senator Norris Brown
in Orpheus hall here last night. Sep
ator Brown kept the audience which
filled the hall in an enthusiastic mood
for two hours while he told WHY
Platte county and the nation should
vote for Hughes and defeat Wilson.
Judging from the applause Platte
county is going to do its share.
He showed where under the Under
wood tariff the farmer and cattleman
in this great agricultural country were
being dealt body blows by the i'm
portation Of foreign cattle and grain,
up until the war, and cited quotations
from the World-Herald as proof.

GERMANS YIELD
GROUND ON SOMME
London and Berlin Tell Of
Losses of Territory by
Teuton Forces.
FRENCH IN FORT vAux

London, Nov. 3.-The British troop.
captured a German trench east oi
Gueuedccourt on the Sommc from,
last night and raided German trenches
near Arras, says the British war office
Lose to French.
Berlin, Nov. 3.-(By Wireless to
Sayville. )-Portions Of Sailly-Saillisel
on the Somme front which were taken
by the Germans were again lost to the
French yesterday, the war office an
nounced today.
Attempts of the allies to advance
east of Gueudecourt and against the
northern part of St. Pierre Vast
wood resulted in failure.
Fighting activity was generally
within moderate limits. Isolated sec
tions in the Somme district were un-
der strong artillery fire.
Hostile advances east of Gueude-
court and against the northern part of
St. Pierre Vaast wood failed.
Towards evening the French fire
against Fort Vaux decreased"
French Reoccupy Fort Vaux.
Paris, Nov. 3.-The French occu-
pied Fort Vaux last evening after
waiting for the cessation of great ex-
plosions inside the fort, the war office
reported today. The fort, evacuated
by the Germans yesterday, passed
again into the possession Of the
French without loss to them.
The Germans gave up the fort, the
statement says, as result OF the vio-
lent French bombardment and the
gradual closing in of French troops.
The re-entrance Of the French into
this position was not contested. The
ring of Verdun forts is now re-estab-
lished and. is held firmly by the
French.
The announcement follows:
South of the Somme the artillery
fighting was fairly lively in the sec
tors.of Lihons and Chilly. A surprise
attack was carried out BY us against
German trenches west of Laucourt.
"On the right bank of the Meuse
(Verdun 'front.' the night was rela-
lively calm. Yesterday the enemy, ow-
ing to the violence of our lombard
ment, which had continued several
days, evacuated Fort Vaux during the
afternoon without waiting for an at
tack by our infantry, whose pressure
was becoming closer and closer.
"Very heavy explosions were heard
in the fort. During the night our in
fantry, which had gore up quite close
to- the fort, occupied this very impor-
tant work without any loss. The belt
of interior forts of Verdun is now re-
established in its entirety and is held
firmly by our troops"

HUGHES DISCUSSES
TARIFF AT HUDSON
Republican Nominee Asks
About Democratic Promises
to Reduce Cost Of Living.
ROSY PROMISES NOT KEPT

Hudson, N. Y, Nov. Sin his
speech here today Charles Z,
Hughes made the tariff his chief
theme and assailed the democratic
party for Its failure t. reduce the
high cost Of living.
Il think they were just as eloquent
in promises four years ago as they
are today" Mr.. Hughes said. "As
look back to the statements that were
made at that time ! cannot see how
any one could have said anything
more eloquently, more persuasively
than was said at that time with respect
to what was going to be done for
American labor and American busi-
ness. You would have thought at
that time that the sun OF promise had
just begun to shine upon benighted
world and that they were going to
have an entirely new condition in
which labor would profit to the ut
most and American business would
get an extraordinary incentive.
Cost of Living Mounting.
"They told us, for example, that
there was the high cost Of living.
Well, we all know that we had very
intimate knowledge of that fact, but
what was still more to the point, they
told us that they were going to re-
duce it and that if we would only
put them in power they would show
US how the high cost OF living was
going to come down. Well, through
division in our ranks, which | am
glad to say has been happily healed,
they had a chance to show what they
could do with this high cost Of living.
"That robust companion, however,
has become more and more robust
and seems to thrive on democratic
administration and it is mounting
higher and higher and taller and tall
er and when we consider this promise
in relation to present promises, we
wonder whether they are going to
do any better with respect to the fu-
