D0fFRACEV0TE
republican Candidate for Gov.
ernor Scores Democratic
Senator for His "Sup-
port" of President.

Fairbury, Neb., Oct. 4.-(Special.)
IS. X. McKelvie, republican cam
didate for governor, last night de-
livered an address here before an
enthusiastic crowd. He said in part:
"The democrats in Nebraska and
the nation have been trying for two
years to convince the voters that in
order to stand back Of President
Wilson and support him we had to
vote for only democrats from the
highest to the lowest office on the
ticket. Two years ago in Nebraska
this seems to have won and Hitch
cock and Neville were elected. The
same argument has been raised this
year by Governor Neville, the
World-Herald, Gooch's Lincoln
Star and democrats generally.
This illogical argument of the
democrats was answered for all time
last Tuesday by record vote in the
United States senate on the sui
frage constitutional amendment
President Wilson had come before
the senate and urged in the strong
est possible terms the passage Of
the measure as an essential war
measure.
"He said; I tell you plainly, as
ccmmander-in-chi of our armies
and of the gallant men in our fleets
that the measure which I
urge upon you is vital to the win
nirg of the war and to the energies
alike of preparation and of battle
ION the roll cali of this measure,
passage of which the president had
thus urged, we find 81 out of 81 re-
publicans voted with the president,
about three out of the four, while
only 81 out of AZ democrats vot-
ed with the president, only two out
of five.
There were only 80 senator's OPP
posed to the measure after the de-
mand of the president for its pas
sage and q of these were democrats,
or seven out of 10 were democrats,
and the democratic senator of this
state was one of them.
"He is the man, as owner of the
World-Herald, who has been trying
to convince the voters of this state
that the only way to stand by the
president and help win the war is
to support the lieutenants who are
candidates for office on the demo-
cratic ticket. The democrats now will
have to find new issue. By their
own votes they have forever settled
the question of who is supporting
the president"

Under War Orders

Fremont, Neb., Oct. 4.-(Special
Telegram. "A contract for the con-
soldation of the two electric light
systems of the Municipal and the
Fremont Gas, Electric Light and
Power company plants was entered
into at a special meeting of the city

dation was made at the request of
the National Fuel Administration.
By the contract entered into by the

chase the current needed for its
patrons from the municipal plant.
A saving Of ESQ tons of coal a month

American Headquarters in France,
Oct. 4.-(Reuter's )-When Ger
man forces advanced on Tuesday in
an attempt to capture Apremont,
on the front northwest of Verdun,
American tanks suddenly emerged
from the town in all directions. The
tanks went lurching through the
German ranks, spraying bullets into
them from all sides and spreading
the utmost terror and conservation
The American tanks. after smash

The enemy losses were extremely
heavy. In one German company
nine men were killed and 80 were
wounded out of 70. In another COM
pany 10 we're killed and 40 wounded
out of 80.
Owing to delays caused by the
curious distribution of the roads in

until yesterday for the Americans
effectively to organize counter bat

longed fine weather. the difficulties
of General Pershing's men are dis

WILL WIN WAR
IS WORD OF T. R.
"Grab Your Gun and Co.. the
Colonel Tells Crowd of Ten
Thousand People in
Alliance.

Alliance, Neb., Oct. Shout,
but make your shouts good" this
was the advice given by Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, addressing an
audience of 10000 people, who came
from all parts of western Nebraska
to hear him speak at the railroad
station today while he was stopping
over here on the tour he is making
to boost the fourth Liberty loan.
The only way to make Hun
feel friendly is to knock him out, :"
continued Col. Roosevelt. Don't
hit man soft. because he will come
back and hit you hard. When you
hit, hit a blow that will knock him
clear out.
That is what we will do to Ger
many-now is the time to subscribe
for bonds. Put them through for the
future of the good old U. S. A. Put
this war through right. so no other
nation will look cross-eyed at us.
Some people used to ask why
our boys had to 60 over there. They
probably realize by this time that
it is simply done so. that we will not
have to fight over here.
1T is not food, money or Red
Cross that will win the war, but it
is the men at the front. Grab your
gun and go. All the rest we are do
ing is supplementary"
Colonel Roosevelt said suffrage
should be given to those entitled to
it. He said service, not sex was
the consideration.
The work this district is doing in
support of the war by producing
over Is per. cent of the potash used
in the United States was praised by
Colonel Roosevelt.
In concluding, Colonel Roosevelt
said he is willing to shake mans
hand, no matter where he was born
or what creed he worships, if he is
loyal to America. He declared that
everybody that lives in America
should speak the English language
and be loyal, or go back where he
came from.
