STATE STRONG FOR
HUGHES, THEY FIND
Republican Speakers Report
Sentiment Growing for
Party's Candidate.
CERTAIN TO BE ELECTED
tFrom a staff Correspondent

Lincoln, Oct. %. = (Special.) =
Charles E. Hughes will land the cleo
ton without the shadow Of doubt,
according to the reports brought to
republican headquarters by speakers
filling dates in the east and central
west, as we'll as in Nebraska.
w. J. L. Crank of Denver, who has
made nearly hundred speeches in
Nebraska, is enthusiastic over repub-
lican prospects for carrying the state.
Senator E. J. Burkett, who has been
speaking in Missouri, North Dakota
and other states of the central west,
says there is no question but that
Hughes will be elected.
w. E. Andrews returned from a
speaking trip through eastern states
and is Of the opinion that there. is
nothing to it but Hughes. Mr.. An
drews will speak in Nebraska before
the campaign closes.
New Yorker Enthusiastic.
DR.. w. A. Hunsberger of New
York, who has been putting in three
weeks in Nebraska, also says that the
continued interest which is increasing
day by day spells Hughes.
Former Governor c. H. Aldrich,
who has been speaking during the last
week in the state, is another who feels
great increase in the Hughes senti-
ment and decided indication that the
whole state ticket will be elected.
Charles Matson is having great sue
cess in his meetings and in the organi-
cation of Hughes and Fairbanks clubs
Clubs are being formed all over and
the call for material and literature is
showing that the voters are waking
up and ready to settle the matter for
themselves. Mr.. Matson is sure Ne.
braska will go republican without any
question.
Attempts of democrats to break up
republican meetings, as in Omaha
when Mr.. Crank spoke and also yes.
\ terday at Utica, where the crowd at.
tempted to disturb meeting in which
lMr. Matson was speaking, brought oui
a discussion among the speakers who
gathered at the republican headquar'
tiers this morning. Said one man:
Peculiar Condition.
"There is a peculiar condition which
has been shown in this campaignu
From the very start Of the campaign
when democrats attempted to breal
up a meeting addressed by Mr.
| Hughes at Nashville, Tenn, down te
the present time, the papers have beer
| full of accounts of where republican
meetings have been disturbed by dem
ocrats and speakers insulted in many
instances, but have not seen single
instance of where democratic meet
! ings have been disturbed by repub
llicans. You can't find a newspaper
account Of such disturbance through
| the whole campaign. OF course al
Chicago when Wilson spoke the WON
en- there attended the meeting ant
carried banners favorable to Hughes
but no attempt was made TO disturb
Mr.. Wilson; but it was left to the sup
porters Of Mr.. Wilson to knock dow

them. / won't say that the rough

to private corporations to be de-
veloped.
"Yes," shouted Mrs. O'Hare, when
she got the floor, hold them and then
lease them to Guggenheim. Why in
the name OF common sense lease
them? Why not work them our
selves"
The senator had also praised the
Adamson bill and had even drawn
some applause from the socialistic
crowd on his talk for the eight-hour
bill, but the socialist woman punctured
his sails when she said:
"The Adamson bill is not on the
statute books because the president
wanted it, but because 100000 railroad
men had brains enough to organize
and stick. They did not go to the
president with the plea to please give
them crumb, but they stood up like
men, shook their fists under his nose,
and said, Give us the whole loaf
The senator had no better luck
with his praise of the democratic pro-
gram for self-government for the
Philippines. "Mr. Hitchcock" she
said, "had lot to say about self-gov-
eminent for the Filipino, but not one
word about self-government for Ne
braska women. If it is good for the
black and tanned Filipino, why not
for Nebraska women"
Three-Hour Debate.
Some 5000 men and women gath
cred at the Auditorium to hear the
three-cornered debate. 1t was an
nounced that Senator Hitchcock and
Mr.. Howell would take the stage
again after the woman had finished
and would answer any questions
hurled at them, but the debate lasted
three hours, and when Mrs. O'Hare
had finished the crowd left and would
not wait for the questions. So the
meeting adjourned.
Music was mingled with the talk
fest. To begin with the violin choir
entertained. A, violin quartet, pupils
OF Prof. Frank Mach, followed the ad-
dress of welcome. Isabelle Rodman
gave violin solo, as did also Clara
Schneider.
All Want to Talk.
| G. C. Porter, socialist candidate fol-
congress from this district, presided al
the meeting. He had difficulty in keep
ing the crowd quiet, as many ardent
socialists wanted to ask questions
when the republican and democratic
speakers we're talking. A dozen ush
fers had to rush here and there in the
room, clutch men by the shoulders ant
push them back into their seats wher
they rose to interrupt. -
Senator Hitchcock spoke first, re
viewing the democratic administra
ton and praising the various bills j
has passed.
R. B. Howell followed, reviewing
the republican record for sixty years
showing that since sixty years age
the country has been forty-eight year!
under republican rule and eight year.

Idol of Democracy Shattered
by the Bosses of Nebraska,
But Revered by Many.
BY HARRY o. PALMER.

Time was when Nebraska, and the
little spot known as Fairview, consti-
tuted the Mecca for American demo-
cracy, and frequent were the journeys
and pilgrimages made to the shrine Of
the Greater Commoner. That was
when democracy stood for great prin-
ciples opposed to which were the
great principles of the republican
party. However, in those days Me-
braska democracy was dignified to
say the least. 1t was during this hey
day OF the Nebraska democrat that !
studied down in New England. When
ever it was announced that ! was from
Nebraska the almost certain remark
which followed was "Ah, hal the
home of Mr.. Bryan. Have you ever
been at Fairview" 1t was always a
pleasure to assure these eastern fell
lows that Mr.. Bryan and ! were the
best of personal friends, and that l
had frequently been at the home Of
the democrat on news assignments.
But alas, how things have changed.
Today if we are deceived into believ-
ing that the present day democratic
leaders in Nebraska express the wish
of most Nebraskans we might suppose
that Mr.. Bryan had passed into re-
tirement. | think now of the vicious
attack which was made upon him dur
ing the last primary campaign to pre-.
vent him from going to the national
convention when Mr.. Hitchcock was
devoting pages Of publicity to making
Keith Neville the democratic nominee
for governor, and himself the demo-
cratic nominee for United States SEN
ator. / think now OF how Mr.. Bryan
stood out bravely for the dry side oil
the great moral issue which is con.
fronting the Nebraska voter this fall
and OF how he endeavored to have his
one time party adopt the right side
Of this issue. But he found that il
was no longer the party of Bryan
that il was no longer the party o.
1896, and the many years Of illustrious
activity which followed that cam
paign, but on the contrary the party
Of Hitchcock, Neville and Mullen, and
the particular vehicle for defeating
those things which Mr.. Bryan wished
to accomplish. am wondering today
whether or not Mr.. Bryan will be able
to free his party from the strangline
grasp of the crowd who have il
throttled. / am wondering whether
he will try to do so, or whether he
will be content to make peace with
those powers who would have de-
stroyed him. Like many other repub.
licans, | have always differed from
Mr.. Bryan in my views on mos
economic questions, but ! have always
regarded him very highly for his high
attitude on broad moral questions in.

lean democracy. Will Mr.. Bryan
make good our expectations! MY
guess IS, that he will. During six
weeks OF almost constant travel in
the state | have met numerous demo-
Gratis in each town visited, who have
said that they would vote this year to
suppress those men in public life who
had almost driven Mr.. Bryan from
Nebraska politics.
At Hebron, some time ago, the boys
band of five pieces played on the
street before the meeting in the opera
house at which John L. Kennedy,
republican candidate for United States
senator, and Charles H. Sloan, repub-
lican candidate for congress spoke.
Mr.. Kennedy said in opening. his
speech that from his room in the hotel
he had heard the boys playing and
that they had played so vigorously
and so well that he had supposed
there were at least twenty pieces in
the band. This happy observation
from Mr.. Kennedy pleased the boys
immensely and they applauded with
enthusiasm. Mr.. Sloan followed Mr
Kennedy on the pogram. He said that
he too, had heard the boys playing
on the street from his room in the
hotel and that, although he knew, but
little about music, the notes OF the
different instruments blended with
such perfect harmony, one into the
other, that until he saw them he had
supposed that there was only one per
son playing.
During the last week / met a man
soldier boy rather, who was home
on a furlough from the American wal
with Mexico. He had been stationed
on the border for several months, bu
had gotten away long enough to COME
home and look after some business
matters and run for county office.
asked him il the Nebraska boys who
were engaged in the present Mexican
war did not wish to vote this fall, ant
observed that Wisconsin had JUS
made voting possible at the border
for Wisconsin soldiers. He said they
sure want to vote, and what is more
| If they vote they will vote for Hughes
He said there were two things which
were constantly being said by border
soldiers, namely, 1--WE want to &c
home" and 1--WE want Hughes" HI
said that 90 per cent OF the boys were
sick of being made pawns in grea
political chess game and that the,
resented being kept on the border an,
longer for merely political reasons
He said that vote would be taker
whether the Nebraska legislature wa
convened to provide the right to vot'
or not. Some time ago at St. Paul
Nebraska Guardsman told me that 2!
per cent OF the boys would vote TO-
Hughes If permitted to vote and nov
that this later report has come il
making the percentage even as higl
as 90 per cent, 1t strikes me tina
something should be done to deter
mine why the governor has not callet
a session to provide the right to vot'
by mail in such case.

Labor's Tribute to Hughes.
upon Mr.. Hughes retirement fror
the governorship to accept an ar
pointment as associate justice of tn
United States supreme court tn
Legislative News, the recognized ol
gan Of the New York State Fedora
ton Of Labor, editorially paid thi
tribute to him:
HE WAS A GREAT Gov
ERNOR.
Nov that Governor Hughes
has retired from politics and as
cended to place on the high
est judicial tribunal in the world,
the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's politi-
cal corns, that he was the great
est friend of labor laws that ever
occupied the governors chair at
Albany. During his two terms he
has signed fifty-six labor laws. in
GLIDING among them the best la
Dor laws ever enacted in this or
any other state. He also urged
the enactment OF labor laws in
his messages to the legislature,
even going so far as to place the
demand for a labor law in one
of his messages to an extra ses-
sion OF the legislature.
"Only one hundred and sixty
two labor laws have been enacted
in this state since its erection in
l777-in 1888 years. One third of
these, exceeding in quality all of
the others, have been enacted
and signed during Governor
Hughes term of three years and
nine months.
with such record OF ap-
proval and suggestion or pro-
gressive legislation in the inter-
ests of humanity to his credit,
it is easy to believe that human
rights will have a steadfast and
sympathetic upholder in the new
justice of the supreme court of
the United States.
Misrepresents the Facts.
"The principal charge, indeed t.
only one, which Mr.. Gompers ar
his associates bring against M
Hughes relates to the Danbury Ha
ter's case. A subtle attempt is mac
to convey the impression that M
Hughes was in some way respons
Bile for the decision of the Unite
States supreme court which held tn,
the boycott of Loewe by the Danbul
hatters came within the scope OF Il
prohibitions contained in the ami
trust law. The fact is that this d
cision was rendered more than tv
years before Mr.. Hughes was a,
pointed as a member Of the Unite
States supreme court, and thereto
he could not by any flight OF Il
imagination be held accountable (,
this decision.
In conclusion desire to say, fro
my experience, that Mr.. Hughes h
always been a constant friend OF h
workingman and has proven h
friendship by advocating legislatic
for their protection. Fraternaliy your
