Schuyler, Neb.. Sept. 1S.-(Speciai
Telegram. The women of Ne-
braska are taking tremendous in-
terest i'll the campaign. The crowds
that have greeted Col Raymond
Robins, Governer McKelvie aud
Congressman Evans on their motor
tour of Central City. Columbus,
Schuyler and Fremont have been
divided $3.50 between men and
women voters. On the platform at
| Columbus were as many women as
men, and in the audienceNin the park
was even larger percentage. many
of whom parked baby carriages in
the shade of the stand.
Sensing this lively interest Of the
women citizens int political is-
sues, Governor McKelvie predicted
the largest majority ever given .
repu. lican national ticket in Nes
braska since the day of Roosevelt.
Women Want Economy.
In Maine three out of every fou1
women who cast ballots in the re.
cent election voted for the repub.
lican candidates, he pointed out
The proportion in Nebraska ought
to be at least 2 republican votes out
Of every 10 cast by our wives and
mothers. This is because they rcc-
ognize that the republican party has
supported woman suffrage and has
led in legislation in high moral
plane"
This statement was loudly ap-
rlauded as was Congressman r. z.
Evans discussion of the way the re-
publicans in congress had cut bill
lions off the appropriations proposed
by the democratic official depart
ments. The idea of economy ap-
peals to the housewives in these days
of high prices and the opinion ap-
pears to be widespread that by elect
ing republican officials from top to
bottom, in the White House, con-
gress and the state offices, some
saving can be made.
Tax Distribution.
Economy does not mean spends
in galoney, but its wis eexpendi-

Contrast the amount spent for up
keep Of your motor car and you may
find that it is more than you pay in
state taxes. yet from your state
taxes you get roads, schools. PROF.

r"Oniy $40 out of every $l00 paid
in taxes goes to the state. The rest
is county and local taxation. If
any state administration should cut

"The man who pays $40 in taxes

Path of Well Ordered Gov
:, ernment, Hughes Thinks.

Trenton, N, J., Sept lS,-Charles
E. Hughes, in opening the republican
campaign in New Jersey at state
rally here today, declared that
Maine, with an unmistakable en-
phasis, points to the verdict of the
country; that the people demand a
change and with fresh courage 1--WE
shall resume the path of well-ordered
government. of prosperity and
progress"
"A general election" said Mr..
Hughes, lis the great assize, the only
time when administration is brought
TO an accounting. We are not a
censorious people, but levity in pass
ing judgment upon officers of gov
ernment and political parties i'll
becomes democracy. The best
surety of the future is not in the
promise of platform, but in the GER
tainty of rebuke for qlaladministra-
ton and in the checking of harmful
tendencies by the displacement of
those responsible for them and the
refusal to invest with power those
who would continue [or condone
them. We, endeavor to-appreciate
accurately the mischief, not simply to
be critical but to point the remedy
altd the future course.
"It is idle to trust those who have
heen in power during the war pc
Rod, with its lavish outlays, its in
difference to expenses. its reckoning
in billions as we formerly reckoned
in millions, with this duty of econ
omy of rctrenchment." Mr.. Hughes
said "Their experience unfits them
for it. 1t is equally idle TO expect
adequate results from those who
would follow the same traditions
and have the same fealties."
Discussing foreign relations, Mr..
Hughes recalled the presidential de-
mand for partisan congressional
victory in 1918, which re character
ized as the "cxtraordinary return
for the zeal and sacrifices Of repub-
licans in support Of the admins
tration in the conduct of the war"
Continuing, he said:
There was no need for such ex-
.remes Of exclusiveness and denial

policy. Republican leaders had
long looked to an association of ma
tons to aid in securing the peace
Of the world. 1t would have been
well to recognize the fact that the
president had not the exclusive
treaty-making powers. 1t was
wrong to give to foreign peoples the
impression of an authority which
did not exist 1t was highly dam
aerous role for an American presi-
dent virtually to appeal to foreign
peoples against their governments"

The number was transferred to
Central police headquarters, from
where it was dispatched to every
patrolman and detective on duty,
with odrers to arrest the driver of

Z Fix Flat Rate.

Up III May IS, 1918, the various
loans bore interest at varying rates,
but on that date, by arrangement
with the respective foreign govern

was fixed for all loans.
Interest becomes due every SIX
months, two-thirds being payable on
May Is and November Is, respec-
lively, and the remaining one-third
on April Is and October IS.
The arrangement whereby the
total interest sdue every six months
was split into a two-thirds and one
third payments was made mutually
by the debtor governments and the
United States treasury as being
more satisfactory to both parties. In
the case of the debtor governments.

amount of the loans, if paid in full,
with interest, will enable the treas
