One of the "Willful."
"The fact that our own senator,
Mr.. Hitchcock, democrat, was one
of the "willful twenty-one" who de-
feated the measure will surely have
its effect here in Nebraska. for it
shows that the Hitchcock Mullen
Neville machine is entirely out OF
touch with the people of this state
and bound to force themselves and
their candidates upon the people
irrespective of whether the people
want them or not.
"Since l returned home my atten-
ton has been called to an article
appearing in the local democratic
paper, the official organ of the
Hitchcock Mullen-Neville machine
in this part of the state, purporting
to have been copied from the North
American Reviews war weekly. It'll
IS an attack upon Norris which was
inspired by no other source than
this same machine.
"The article, as was informed.
was written by Earl B. Gaddis, prl-
vate secretary to Senator Hitchcock.
the man who has made more trouble
for President Wilson in the carrying
out of his war plans than any other
senator in the upper body OF con,
press. 1t comes just now with bad
grace, when Senator Hitchcock has
been one of the two senator's who
blocked and defeated the presidents
latest move toward the winning OF
the war, especially so when on the
same proposition Senator Norris
voted with the president.
"The article will prove a boom

campaign stuff published by this
paper has been proven to be dur
Ing the post two or three weeks.
