Himself a socialist, the child is his
fathers image, which he has been
careful to have reared in the atmos-
phere of a socialistic nursery. A few
years ago there was an avowedly so
cialist political party with a consider
able following in the middle western
states. What has become Of them all ?
Have all undergone a change of heart?
Ne, merely a change of name to Non
Partisan because not quite so offensive
to American ears. / dare say, without
fear of disproval, that among 1000
leaders and organizers of the League
promiscuously chosen, 900 would be
found to be real socialists. The So
cialists are there alright, wearing a
mask "n~on-partisan." I say this fact
has been largely lost sight of the cam.
paign. Now | would ask the reader Of
these lines, in all earnestness and sim
plicity: r you and I willing to sup
port a thorough-going socialistic pro-
gram, a program in it's last analysis
that advocates the abolition of pri-
vate ownership of property, the era
dication of all religious ideas and ia
vors that barbarism that would
abolish family life. It may be granted
that all of these c~atastrophes would
not follow Immediately upon the Lea
CUES present success, but it is never
theless undeniably true that the school
of thought foullowed by the League
leads to such ends. Then why not pull
the weeds before they go to seed?
Why allow the %pretenders of this doc
trine a foothold by favoring its can
dates forelection?
The real Democrats, recently dis
possessed by the N. P. L. recognize
the situation as it exists, and as a
matter of duty to effective service fus-
ed with the Republicans in order to
remove the impending stain of social
ism from out state and county. Would
that all others of both old line parties,
who have lost their bearings, might
see matters in the light of realty, sec
ond this effort! Ny views have cost
me my position for the present and
may entail much harship for the fu-
ture, but even so, I would count per-
sonal inconvenience as nothing,
should l be able tx oause enough of

ace of socialism in time to ward it
off. Ny especial appeal is made to my
friends and acquaintance. A vote for
of the candidates strengthens
the socialists. A landslide against the
League and its candidates may ban
ish socialism forever from this coun-
try. Think it over.

sist him and drew handsome fees
from the county for doing his work.
Generally they got convictions for
which he took the credit. He had a
chance as county attorney to reform
the county, if it needed reforming. His
record in that office weakened the con-
fidence of thu people in him, but their
confidence in the courts is today, not
withstanding his and Buddeh's as
saults on them, healthy and whole
some. Sixth, his enemies know he is
fair and honest and he is against the
gang. We do not know the bug-a-boo
of the News which it calls the gang.
He and the News probably include in
that category all those splendid men
and women of Valley and Phillips
counties who do not want an incompe-
tent lawyer upon the bench. From re-
ports available they number about two
thirds of the voters Of the district. Mr..
Dignan, fair and honest with his enc
mics as the News claims, is against
all these splendid people. If he were
elected which he will not be, he would
enter upon the discharge of his duties
with the idea that he is against about
$500 men and women of the district.
Is that the character of fairness and
honesty the News thinks should char
acterize a Judge? Fair and honest but
against. What a pitiable showing the
News makes in these ha%ir-brained
schemes to elect Mr.. Dignan Judge.
These are the only reasons given by
anybody for supporting Mr.. Dignan.
-, Analysed they disappear as mists
before the rays of the sun. His record
as a lawyer shows that he should new
err sit on the bench. He does not have
the education or knowledge of the
law. His record as county attorney
is written in the courts records. Anv-
one who desires may examine it. We do
not want to be unkind to him but he
should never have sought this office.
We have told the truth about him and
the other opposition candidates.
Ye shall know the truth;
And the truth shall make We free.

Lawyer Suspected
OF Irregularities
County Attorney Said to Have
Told Woman to Leave
State to Avoid Charge.

Grand Island, Neb., Dec. H.
Especial. 1.-The charge of forgery
against Mrs. T. P. Mullins, brought
to this city from Wyoming, has
been dismissed, but another charge,
according to the local police O ficials,
has grown out of the circums stances
involving the irregularity of action
on the part of the county attorney OF
Chappell, .Neb.
Mrs. Mullins. passed a check OF
s$ia0 on the. frhi of S. N. Woibact
& Sons of this city. When payment
was refused by the bank from which
drawn. complaint was made to the To-
cal police. The chief of the depart
ment traced the woman to Mullen
Neb., thence via Alliance and Sidney
to Cheyenne.
When overtaken there she de
INJURED and at first indicated she
would demand extradition papers,
but finally consented to come to
Grand Island to answer the charge
Here. it developed that she had pre-
viously cashed checks and that they
were paid by her husband, dentist
at Chappell, and that she did not
have any reason to believe this one
would not also be cashed.
1t appears, however, that differ.
ences had arisen between husband
and wife and that when this check
was passed he refused to pay it. Di-
vorce proceedings had been insti-
tuted and according to the local
officers, the husband and county at
torney met the woman at Sidney and
there induced her, by reason of the
Hall county charge, to sign away
certain conditions or rights, as al
legged, and likewise advised her to &c
to Wyoming where she would be out
of the jurisdiction of the Grand Is
land charge.
Attorney General Davis has been
advised OF the circumstances it be-
ing asserted here that the action was
in effect, aiding and abctting OF a
fugitive. The local police and county
attorney say they are unadvised as to
what action will be taken.

Of Reorganization

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.i
Chicago, Dec. 12.-Ample evidence
that great reorganization is under
way is affored by the appearance, in
increasing numbers, of the profess
sional "panllandlers' and "mooch-
ers," the individuals who received
high wages during the war period
and saved not a cent of their earn
ings. They were the first to hit the
street when employers began to weed
cut the incompetents, and now they
are back at their old avocation--
siding up to men and women, most
ly women, and begging few coins.
Street begging has increased enor-
mously in the last two weeks, say
officials OF the Bible Rescue mission
and the police. Men at the mission
say men stood in front of their
place last year and hooted and Jeer-
ed at offers of work at big wages.
Today, even larger crowds are beg

Outside Effort Needed.
Parliament has been dissolved and
new elections ordered so the entire
official mind is fixed on politics and
money and it is extremely difficult
to get the cabinet to focus attention
on relief for the sufferers. Outside
effort is needed, not only to save
the best of China's population, but
also to bring moral pressure on the
cabinet to do something before il
is too late, it was decided.
Already north China is covered
with a blanket of snow and the last
