HUGHES IS GIVEN
GREAT RECEPTION
IN new YORK CITY
Republican Standard Be- w
Rides at Head Of e ~
Torchlight Pare
New York;
THOUSANDS DO HIM HONOR
Candidate Tells Audience of
Needs Of Country in
Coming Years.
FLAYs WILSON'S POLICIES

New York, Nov. s.--Charles E.
Hughes closed his campaign for the
presidency in this city with big meet
ing at Madison Square Garden.
The speech he delivered was his
fifth Of the day and followed four in
the open air in different parts of the
city during the afternoon.
Before the night meeting Mr..
Hughes rode at the head of a great
torchlight procession called a wheel
OF flame" the nine "spokes" of which
converged upon Fifth avenue. Many
thousands of men, each carrying a
flaming torch, were in line as the pro-
cessions came together, one after an.
other.
Parade in Two Sections.
So long was the parade that it was
split into two sections, one of which
marched up Fifth avenue and the
other up Madison avenue to the
garden.
The broad avenues were filled with
long ribbons of light as the republican
cohorts moved onward. Interspersed
at frequent intervals were bands which
played martial music and patriotic airs.
The car in which the candidate rode
was the only automobile in line.
Much excitement was caused by an
explosion in North street only few
feet from Mr.. Hughes as he sat in his
automobile waiting for one of the divi-
sions of the parade to start. 1t was
believed at first that bomb had been
hurled at the nominee, but Inspector
Egan of the bureau of combustibles
declared a photographers flashlight
powder caused the explosion. The
only persons injured, the police said,
were two newspaper men, who were
slightly hurt. I- -,
Nominee Not Perturbed.
With Mr.. Hughes in his car were
A. B. Hepburn and two detectives.
The nominee did not seem perturbed
by the incident and smilingly acknowl-
edged the plaudits of the crowds
which he passed as the paraders
moved on, fourteen abreast.
A drizzling rain, which began falling
just as the parade began, dampencd
somewhat the ardor of the demonstra-
ton which greeted the republican can
didate, but cheering crowds lined Fifth
avenue from the time he passed under
the Dewey arch in Washington

BEACH WARNS OF
DEVICES OF ENEMY
Chairman of State Committee
Urges Voters to Stand by
Their Guns.
VICTORY PREDICTION MADE

Lincoln, Nov. Especial. )--After
sizing up the situation carefully and
predicting an electionof every candi-
date on the national senatorial, con-
gresional and state ticket and ma
jority Of republicans in the legisla-
ture, Chairman E. D. Beach Of the
republican state committee, issues the
following proclamation to me voters
OF the state:
ITO the loyal lovers Of American
ism, a last word before election.
stand by your guns! Don't be STAN
peded by the wild yells of an enemy
already scared stiff. Don't be misled
by any eleventh hour gusts Of hot
air emanating from the boss-ridden
factions Of an otherwise decent de-
mocracy. Don't be deceived by the
stop thief cry of the frenzied forces
OF the ward heels, who are yelling
Wall street, Wall street, at the re-
publicans, and who are themselves
pouring out a 100000 into the differ
ent counties of this state through
sources that will never be reported
according to law.
Don't be deceived by the fake
states that are mysteriously being
circulated, who neither God, man, or
the devil would be willing to father.
There Ia orIv one slate that tha -
publicans of Nebraska are putting
out, and that is the ticket regularly
nominated bv the voters of this state
last April. Don't be deceived by the
tricks and false statements being cir
culated by gang of INSCRIPTIONS
politicians by word of mouth and
black faced type in their newspapers,
in reference to Judge Sutton, John
l. Kennedy, and other republicans.
Stand firm for Charles Swans Hughes,
Americanism, American homes, and
decency in American politics."

had two others on the line to confirm
what Mr.. Byrnes said. Mr.. Byrnes
not only approved the method, but
vouched for this man Morton and
said l could depend on anything he
told me. The same method, under
stand, is being employed in other
parts of the state. ST.
A copy of this letter was left at a
local saloon in Humphrey and l re-
ceived a printed copy this morning
The local Catholics and Knights OF
Columbus, with whom l have talked,
repudiated absolutely this method OF
campaigning They resent with am
phasis the bringing of their religion
into this campaign, and they state em-
phatcally that this action is contrary
to their sentiment and principles OF
their religion.
There would seem to be only one
object in this bigoted appeal to the
Catholics and that would be to arouse
religious rancor and thereby help the
wet cause.
The men who are responsible for
that deserve the emphacic condemna-
ton of every citizen of Nebraska,
Catholic or non-Catholic.
], as a Catholic, wish to denounce
this method Of campaigning which
violates the sentiment of a tremendous
majority OF the Catholics OF Ne
braska, and the principles Of their
church. and | ask them to join me in
this condemnation.
Morton claims he was by Arthur
Mullen and ]. c. Byrne, and Byrne
confirms this. | appeal to the Cath
olics of Nebraska to be true to the
principles of their religion and re-
pudiate these men in an effective
manner. w. M. CONDON.

Roorback for Catholics Traced
To Door af Mullen and Byrnes

Humphrey, Neb., Nov. 4.-To the
Editor of The Bee: The A. P. A. was
at one time potent factor in Ne
braska. Thanks to the intelligent nom
Catholics of the state, it has practi-
cally ceased to exist. Its declination
and disappearance was due primarily
to intelligent Catholics proving, by
their daily lives and by their civic
action, to the on-Catholic neighbors
that the charges brought against the
Catholics of disloyalty was absolutely
unjust.
Now, the greatest enemy of the
Catholic religion is a member of who
so conducts himself, or his political
activities, that non-Catholic citizens
come to believe untruths about Cath
olics and their church. He is espe-
cially dangerous and reprehensible
when he represents that the church
or high O fficcrs of the church sane
ton his disreputable political work.
A case in point has just arisen in
this campaign, and believe the men
responsible for it should be exposed
and denounced so that all men, both
Catholics and non-Catholics, may in
the future relegate them to place,
politically, where they can do no
harm.
An alleged attorney Of Omaha, CIV
ing his name as George Morton, came
into Humphrey Friday, November 8,
and called on a prominent Catholic.

FRANCL GATHERS IN
ONE OF SAFEBLOWERS
Officer Shoots and Captures
Charles Sheridan in Saloon
Of Gus Romstedt.
PAL MAKES HIS ESCAPE

In gun fight with safe blowers,
Officer Anton Francl shot and cap
tured one Of two men, just as they
were preparing to leave the saloon
of Gus Romstedt, 802 South Thir-
teenth street, with the$2, 500 in cash
which they had taken from the blown
safe.
n A man Informed Franci shortly
after 5 o'clock Sunday morning, that
two men had entered the Romstedt
saloon. Francl jumped on street
CARAT Thirteenth and Williams street
and dropped off the car opposite the
saloon, Just as the detonation OF an
explosion told him that the men
were working on the safe. He kicked
in the front door of the place, which
was in semi-darkness, and was greet
ed with three shots from the direction
of the safe.
Hears Answering Groan.
He responded with four shots from
his own revolver, and an answering
groan, indicated that he had scored
a hit, while the slam OF the back
door was equally indicative that the
partner of the woulded man had fed.
Takes No Chances.
Francl fearing that the other might
get away, took "the bird in the
hand" attitude.
The wounded man was shot through
the right leg below the knee. II
could have killed the officer" he said.
But there was no chance for me to
beat it." ....., .t.gas
The wounded man gave his name
as Charles Sheridan, aged 50 years,
Sioux Falls, but refuses to "squeal'
on his partner. Papers found on his
person and the manner in which the
safe-blowing was accomplished show
that neither man is a novice at the
game.
Work of Professional.
Entrance to the Romstedt saloon
was gained by forcing the lock OF
the front door. The safe job was
that of the true professional cracks
man, the bottle of nitro-glycerin, the
soap cup to retain it, the evident
sealed cracks of the safe, and the
piece of carpet and canvas piled near
the strongbox to deaden the sound
of the explosion. ...
The revolver from which the shots
were fired at Francl and the bottle
with a small amount of the explosive
were found in the place by the Off
GERS.
Sheridan told Police Captain Hcit-
feldt that he had boiled" the soup"
himself. 1t was about 90 per cent
pure. An ounce or more OF the fluid
that was brought to headquarters in
the bottle was emptied in the Mis-
souri, river.

Omaha daily bee., 1916-11-06

Omaha stands upon the threshold Of
a national, state and local election.
The shouting and the tumult of the
campaign is subsiding and it re-
mains for the electors to register their
will and for the clerks then to count
the ballots and Omaha will again re-
sumo the regular routine of business.
Election Commissioner Moorhead
has the machinery all ready for the
stroke of 8 on Tuesday morning, and
from this time the polls will be open
until 8 at night He has announced
that first naturalization papers en-
title holders to vote. The commits
sioner has received many inquiries re-
garding the use OF the party circle in
case of a voter wishing to vote a
straight ticket with few exceptions.
The party circle at the top OF the bal
lot stands for a vote for all candi-
dates Of the party indicated, except
wherein the voter indicates otherwise
in any Of the divisions of the ballot.
Two Amendments.
Two proposed amendments to the
state constitution are up, the prohibi-
tion amendment and the so-callcd
pure food amendment" The prohibi-
tory amendment refers to the wet and
dry proposition, of which the voters
have heard much debate during the
last few weeks. A vote "yes" Is for
prohibition; mo" for the present local
option and license system. Those op-
posed to prohibition will place an X
in the square numbered 30l; those in
favor Of prohibition in squared NUM-
bered 800.
Vets Gain Ground.
During the last week the wet and
dry fight has overshadowed other po-
litical considerations Both sides have
explained their case to the people.
General opinion is that the vets
gained noticeably during the closing
days Of the campaign in Omaha. The
drys got an early start, but the vets
have made whirlwind finish. Those
opposing prohibition insist no provis-
ion is made to prevent shipments Of
liquors into Nebraska if the state goes
dry.
That Prohibition Can Not Prohibit.
The drys point to other states which
have gone dry, which vets declare
have not improved their condition.
The wet and dry campaign has been
fought by various opposing organiza-
tions. Leading the fight for the vets
is the Nebraska Prosperity league,
backed by the Douglas County Tax
payers and Property Owners league.
Hotel men and restaurant men also
have their organization, which has
been in evidence. On the side of the
drys is the Anti-Saloon league and the
Douglas County Dry association, with
church organizations assisting.
In Effect Next Year.
The proposed prohibition amend
ment," so-called, If adopted, would be
effective May |, 1917.
The pure food amendment" So
called, is the result of willy personal
effort of State Food Commissioner
Harman to perpetuate himself in Of
flee. 1t is generally conceded that
this amendment will be turned down,
because even his fellow democrats are
against it.
Beneath the two proposed constitu-
tional amendments on the ballot APP
pear six party circles, the second be-
ing indicated as republican" An
X in that circle casts a vote for fifty
two republican nominees on the large
ballot, without further marking, these
nominees being divided into groups

MELBA TO HELP
CORRETHERS IN
ANARI COURSE
Well Known Local Man Going
to Australia in Summer, and
to New York Next Fall

l.. Young Correthers, Vice-principal
for five years OF the Honolulu School
for Boys, is receiving the Congratula-
ticns Ct his many friends on the fact
that at the close of his school year
he is to go TO Australia. where, under
the able and critical tutelage Of
Madame Nellie Melba, he will prepare
himself for a thorough art and dane
ing course in New York the coming
fall. ..
Ever since coming t. Honolulu Cor
rethers has been actively connected
with almost every amateur theatrical
and ballet performance given under
the auspices of the many societies and
organizations which produce such per-
formances. His special ability lies
in the novel and artistic designing OF
costumes and scenery and the train
ing Of dancers.
Correthers is a native Of Louisiana,
attended college at the University OF
Sewanee, enlisted in the army and
was transferred about eight years ago
to the Hawaiian islands. He will be
missed from Honolulu and his work
as "Lucentio" in the coming produc.
ton of the Tanning of the Shrew.'
perhaps his last appearance before
the footlights in Honolulu, will be
watched with interest.
1t was thought at first that Correth-
ers would remain in the city after the
expiration of his five-year contract
with the Honolulu School for Boys, as
he was one of the few candidates be-
ing considered for the position OF
principal of the new vocational and
continuation school being inaugurated
by the Y. NJ. c. A. But when the in.
vitation came from Madame Melba
Ccrrethers decided in favor of an art
/ istic career.
