Scores Waste by
War Department
Under Demo Rule
Congressman Evans Reviews
Economic Work of Last Re.
publican Assembly in Po-
litical Meeting.

Fremont, Neb., Sept. 18.-(Special
Telegram.)-An intently earnest
audience filled the opera house to
hear Colonel Raymond Robins,
Congressman Evans and Governor
McKelvie discuss the issues of the
political campaign here tonight. The
popularity of Colonel Robins, who
has long been, a leader in all pro-
gressive and humanitarian move
ments, is such that his stay in Ne
hraska has been extended to include
speeches at West Point next Mon
day afternoon and at Norfolk Mon
day night. ...-
Arthur Schultz acted as chairman
of the meeting here as in all other
points touched on this tour. Numbers
Of former democrats, who have
kicked over the party lines on ac-
count of Cox's close adherence to the
policies of President Wilson and
his insistance on America joining
the league of nations, were notice
able in the audience.
Exposes Democratic Waste.
Congressman Evans, in reviewing
the work of the last republican con-
gress, touched on the economies his
party had forced ON the democrats
and made a telling exposure of the
wastefulness of the War department..
He stated that for every horse
bought for the army there were
eight sets of harness and three sad
dies. The cost of merely hanging
green blinds on houses built by the
federal housing boards at Washing
ton were said to be $32 pair.
He also related the experience OF
Congressman Jeffries and Congress
man Reavis in trying to get the War
department to sell its surplus salmon
in Omaha to grocery jobbers there
and how, instead, these supplies were
sold for less to company located.
far distant. He stated that no cannon
were shipped from the United States
overseas until after the armistice
and then the movement was not
stopped for seven months
Congratulates Women Voters.
The idea that republican admin
istration will practice greater econ
omy and lower the cost Of govern
ment is proving to be effective cant
paign material. Mr.. Evans on con-
graduating the new women voters,
said that now instead of having
only three votes, their father, son and
husband, they had four.
New and stronger realization of the
menace to real Americanism offered
by the covenant of the lea que d
nations have been spread by Colonel
Robins. He declared that a new
order OF life is beginning and that
this is one of the four master
moments of human history when
what men and women do may have
an effect lasting for a 1000 years.
He ranked the importance of the
defeating of the proposal to force
America into the league of nations
with the effects of the golden age of
Greece on civilization, with the begin
ming OF the Christian era and with
the renaissance.

A Poppy Picture

Patrons Of the Royal are assured
Of banner entertainment today for Will
liam Russell, "Flying A" star, will be
there in a bully new production call
ed "a Sporting Chance"
While Russell, as the hero and
some of the other folks who figure
in this absorbing picture, took sport
ing chances, no one who goes to see
the play will be running any risk
of not getting his moneys worth
twenty times over. "a Sporting
Chance" is a bona fide thriller, from
first reel to fifth.
"Big Bill" has the role of young
millionaire who registers at metro
politan hotel for the purpose of kill
ing, himself, for reasons ne deems
good and sufficient, but which are not
disclosed until later. Just as he is
about to pull the trigger shot in
room across the court arrests his
hand. Trough the open window he
sees beautiful young womon bend
ing over a PROSTATE figure and taking
from the mans hand a magnificent
Jewel, the Signet of Shebo.
Her story winning Russelps SYM
pathy he astonishes her with an offer
to shoulder the blame, so that she
may go free Thus he is drown into
a series of amazing adventures, alb
sorbing in their interest, full of thrills
and hair-rising exploits, mysterious
and mystifying, with touches of de-
lghtful romance. The incidents are
strung together in way that succeeds
an keeping the spectator guessing un-
til the very end. It's pretty clever
direction that can keep the astute pic
ture going public from spotting the
clue to mystery at least two reels
from the climax, but "a Sporting
Chance, manages to achieve this very
thing.
Stephen Fox wrote the story, and
William Russell Productions did the
filming. There is an exceptionally
fine cast supporting the star, with
charming Fritizi Brunette playing op-
posite. while the others include Geo
Periolat, J. Farrell Macdonald, Lee
Hill, Harvey Clark and Perry Banks.
