LOBECK RECORD
IN CONGRESS
is RIDDLED
Continued from Page One.)

and does not pay his bills. was
in district court here when Mr..
Lindquist sued him on an unpaid
note. Everybody in that court room
was ashamed OF their congressman.
One Lobeck Bill.
HAS Lobeck ever been identified
with any important legislation. Did
you ever hear of Lobeck bill in
congress except the one for an EN-
barge on munitions when we were
on the verge of war? If that bill
had gone through, We might be talk
ing about the surrender OF the allies
now instead OF the surrender of
Germany.
We have all heard of Jefferis,
because he is in fact big man. a
man of whom we would all be
proud to have as our congressman.
He will put Omaha on the map
when he gets to congress. 1t will
be serving our best interests to send
a big man to congress. Lobeck
could consistently be turned down
on the grounds that he has not been
friendly to the president.
Look up the history of the Nc
Namara resolution. Omaha wants
a congressman who will do his own
thinking. If anybody intends to
vote for Lobeck on account of his
secretary, Jim Hanley, let me state
than Hanley has been offered a
$4,000 government job and Lobeck
would not have Hanley to help him
even if he should be reelected.
Shall People Govern?
"The people are realizing that
they have right to express them
selves by voice and the ballot Al
bert w. Jefferis, congressional can
didate, stated. 'The president seeks
to adjourn republican politics. The
government belongs to the people,
to the high and the lowly. The
great question tonight is, shall the
people govern or shall we elect
someone to tell us what to do? If
it had not been for the loyalty and
devotion of republicans in congress,
] don't know what would have hap
pened to Wilson's war program.
When this war council shall be over
and it is going to be over soon
don't let them fool you by saying
that the president will be embar-
raised by having republicans i the
congress. Who dares to question
the loyalty of partisans who follow
in the political footsteps of Roose-
welt, Taft, Mckinley, Lincoln and
Grant.
THE purposes of the republican
party have always been to legislate
to the end that the greatest free
dom, happiness and advancement
may be given to the people.
One Man Power Doomed.
"The situation of the democratic
party is indeed precarious one and
they may we'll shed crocodile tears
over impending defeat. The day of
one-man power is over in this
country, as it is over in Europe"
t. P. Holster, secretary of the
republican county central COM
mittee. spoke briefly Neville" he
said Thought he was going to war
when he believed he would be made
colonel, but when that hope van
ished, his patriotism was cooled
and then he decided to run again
for governor.
"The democratic party would be
branded as liars today by Lincoln
for the manner they have misquoted
him. Why don't they quote Roose-
welt in toto?
"Jefferis will not be a rubber
stamp congressman when he goes to
Washington, that we may be as
sured of. If you want to continue
under the domination of the Hitch
cock-Mullen machine, then you
should vote for Lobeck and his as
sociates. Just take up any German
language paper of this state and you
will see the announcements of Lo-
beck and Neville.
Democrats Hard Pressed.
1.-THE democrats are in hard
straights when they have to make
an appeal for their present bunch
on the pretext that they are backing
the president. But | don't believe
that the people will stand any longer
for this domination"
IF you were selecting man to
represent you in personal affairs,
you would not select Lobeck as
against Jefferis," said Ben S. Baker.
chairman of the republican county
central committee.
Il take exceptions to the presi-
dent trying to coerce people to
vote for any political ticket. None
has any right to brand you as dis
loyal when you use your best judg
ment in casting your ballot. No man
need fear that if both houses of the
congress fall into republican hands,
that the country will not be run
safely and sanely.
