Wanan aker Denounces Demo
Plan to Coerce the Postnasters

New York, Nov. 6.-(Special Tele'
gram.)-Former Postmaster Genera
John Wanamaker has issued state
ment sharply denouncing the scheme
which has been reported to him
whereby Wilson campaign managers
had planned to coerce postmasterS
into voting for Wilson. Mr.. Wanna
maker said:
Il have been informed that every
postmaster in every town and city in
every state in the country is to re-
ceive telegram, between now and
Monday, telling him to vote for
Woodrow Wilson. When l was in
the Postoffice department, l would
rather have had my right hand cut of
than to tell a man to vote for any
man for president, because he had a
81 900 job in the department.
II am informed, on unimpeachable
authority, that the kilograms have
been filed with both the large tele.
graph companies.
ITO my mind, it is crime to at
tempt to intimidate postmasters with
$500 or 81 900 a year jobs, or even the
higher salaried postmasters, to vote
for Mr.. Wilson. That office means
that mans bread and butter, and to
intimate to him that if Mr. Wilson is

Youth Hangs Self
In Cell in County
Jail; Tired Of Life

Declaring that he was tired OF the
way he had been living and feeling
confident that the future held no hope
Of change for him, Chance Jewell, y
years old, ended his life Saturday
night by hanging himself in a cell
at the county jail, where he was
serving sixty-day Jail sentence for
vagrancy.
Jewell tore a strip of cloth from a
blanket and tied one end to the bars
of his cell and the other to his neck.
Lack OF space prevented quick
death, and from the position he was
found in by Deputy Shcriffs William
Hogan and Joseph Popisehal early
Sunday morning, it is thought that
he knelt as in prayer, in order to
strange himself.
A note, scrawled on a paper bag,
was addressed to his two sisters, who
live at the Rex hotel, Sixteenth and
Cass streets, requested that he be
buried next to his mother, who died
several months ago.
Jewell was arrested Friday by Off
Ger Charles Pipkin, as suspect in
connection with investigation Of
stolen automobiles. Nothing could
be proven against him in this connec-
ton, but while he was in court, he
was recognized as the youth who
stole a bicycle and sold it for IS.
Police say he had bad record. He
had been newsboy, messenger, and
taxi driver around the streets of
Omaha for ten years.

POLLARD IS CERTAIN
HUGHES WINS STATE
Nehawka Man Says Republican
Nominee Will Garry Me-
braska by 10000.
DENIS HAVEN'T A CHANCE
(From a Staff correspondent.)

Lincoln, Nov. 6. - Especially -
Charles E. Hughes will carry Me-
braska by not less than 10000 ma
jority over Wilson, is the opinion Of
f. NJ. Pollard of Nehawka, who came
to Lincoln today after campaign
trip through the state.
Il can't see it any other way" said
Mr.. Pollard, There have been
changes on both Sides but when the
swapping has been done, you will find
that it leaves the proposition in just
about the same relative positions as it
was before. In some places there are
some republicans for Wilson, while
in other places there is decided
going to Hughes on the part OF demo-
Gratis. When you take into considera-
ton that there can be loss by Mr..
Hughes of seven or eight republicans
in every precinct in Nebraska, basing
the vote on the rate of four years ago,
and then the republicans win, it can
be readily seen that there has got to
be a real landslide for the democrats
to carry the state for Wilson.
Nebraska is normally republican
by at least $4,000 to $4,000, to say the
least, and I fail to see anything in the
situation which would make me be-
lieve that Wilson will carry the state"

Temperance Play
By Endeavorers

The temperance play, "At the Court
of Miss Columbia" was given in con.
nection with the Christian Endeavor
convention Sunday afternoon at the
First Christian church. The charac-
tiers included fifteen young girls, all
dressed in white and impersonating
the dry states. Miss Columbia, i'm
personated by Ruth Bruechert, urged
Uncle Sam to make the United States
dry. Her attendants were Evelyn
Westgate and Isabel Campbell.
Following her plea diplomats from
Russia, Walter Cantlin; New Zealand,
George Jennings; germany, Donald
Mahaffey; Great Britain, Harold
Boggs; France, Howard Woerner;
Canada, Edward Pleuler; Austria.
Leonard Camp; Sweden, Joe Hiddlis-
ton; Hungary, Theodore Woods; Ice
land, Joe Fhainholpa; New Found
land, Herrick Yungall,' told Uncle
Sam of the benefits derived from
abstinence.
Uncle Sam upon hearing the evil
dence, told Miss Columbia that he
was but the servant of the people and
could do nothing.
Near the conclusion of the play
Miss Nebraska made a direct appeal
for the people of the state to put her
in the same class as her dry sisters.
She was encouraged by seven other
young girls, dressed to represent those
states voting on prohibition this year.
\ A temperance recitation by Mary
Eta Cantannio was we'll received.
The play concluded with an address
by Rev. Frank Lowe, jr., Columbus,
Mo-, on the Price of Victory"

NEW YORK HUGHES BY
HUNDRED THOUSAND
President Of Hughes Alliance
Gives His Estimate Based
on Enrolment.
WAGE FARMERS FOR HIM

New York, Nov. 6.-(Special Tele-
gram, New York state will be back
of Charles E. Hughes on November J
with at least 100000 majority. Labor
ing men and all other groups Of wage
earners are standing by him staunch-
ly; 90 per cent OF progressive vote OF
1912 and from 10 to Y per cent OF
vote cast four years ago for Wilson is
assured him..
Such is the prediction of Philip J.
McCook. president OF the New York
Hughes alliance.
The fact that there are enrolled in
the New York Hughes alliance l7S,000
voters OF all parties, the greatest
groups ever brought together in a
non.partisan movement, justifies Mr..
McCook in speaking with authority
OF the result in this state. Mr., Nc
Cook says:
Ninety per cent of the progressives
of 1912 will vote for Hughes. Between
10 per cent and II per cent of those
who voted for Wilson in 1912, will
vote for Hughes. The drift of the Taft
vote of 1912 to Wilson is inconsider-
able. The independents are in very
large numbers for Hughes. The labor
vote will, as usual, be divided and OF
it Mr.. Hughes will receive at least the
usual share which goes to repub-
lican candidate.
New York will give at least 100000
majority for Hughes and / shall be
rather surprised if it is not nearer
100000.
"The Hughes alliance in this state
now has over l75000 members. From
a careful analysis OF our membership
recently made, the following signifi-
cant facts are disclosed: Thirty-eight
per cent or $1,000 are laborers; 81 per
cent, or 54,250 are clerks, statesmen
and buyers.

ANCIENT POLAND
IS AGAIN A NATION
Once Powerful Kingdom Of
Europe Takes Place Anew
as Independent State.
TEUToN EMPIRES SPONSORS

Berlin, Nov. 6.--(By Wireless to
Sayville. )-"Polish provinces occupied
by troops OF the central powers" says
the Overseas News agency, were the
scene today Of great and momentous
historic event. Germany and Austria
Hungary by joint action proclaimed
Warsaw and Lublin. the kingdom OF
Poland, and re-established the right
of the Polish nation to control its own
destnies to live an independent ma
tional life and to govern itself by
chosen representatives of the nation.
"A few days ago Polish delegation
had called upon the imperial chan
cellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg
Its members were representative
Poles of all classes, all parties, all
ranks of society and all creeds. They
transmitted TO the German govern
ment the wishes Of the Polish nation
which now have been granted to
them.
Thus the ancient kingdom of
Poland from which in the past came
famous rulers like the Jagellones "a
dynasty founded by Jagello, which
reigned in Poland from 1886 to 1872,
and glorious soldiers like the great
Sobieski John III, king of Poland in
1674-l696), Is now resurrected.
"The Poles are free from Russian
oppression; no more to be trodden
under the heels of the Cossacks. The
liberty that had been destroyed CEN
fury ago on Russian instigation now
is restored. The rule of the knout has
been abolished. Poland has been
given back to western civilization"

not elected he will lose his office, is
beyond all reason, indecent politics
When ! was postmaster-general, no
such action was ever or would ever
have been tolerated by me. During
my administration, there were about
$1,000 postmasters in the United
States. Now there must be between
10000 and 100000. Think of each in
cumbent of postoffice getting a mes.
sage of coercion to vote for Mr., Will
son and intimating that if he does
not do as ordered he may lose his
office.
These kilograms. according to my
information, have all been written and
filed with the telegraph companies.
They have, SO | have learned been
distributed by each telegraph company
to a headquarters in every state in
the union and are all to be sent Mon
day. From what | have been able
to learn, the messages are worded
practically alike. have been unable
to find out, however, whose signature
is attached to these kilograms. If
these messages were sent it must be
with the knowledge of Mr.. Wilson,
and if this is the case, the scheme is,
in my opinion, piece Of unclean poll
tics, which | would never have
countenanced as postmaster-general."
