BY n. O. MESSENGER,

In the hectic latter weeks of
the epochal presidential campaign
of 1924 1T begins to appear that
the outcome will be Influenced
very much along the lines of the
campaign of 1896, by a contest
between the conservative and the
radical thought of the country
which controlled the result at the
polls in that year
There is this marked difference
between the two campaigns. In
1896 there was a single issue,
sound money against fiat money.
Now there are added issues. radi-
ca'ism. near sovietism. government
control of public utilities and pub
lie resources; an ugly scandal in
national administration and finally
proposed change in the Consti-
tuition of the United States and ap-
peals to class, religious and race
feeling. But all could be sum-
med up as a contest between con-
servatism and radicalism.

Reliable reports from many
quarters indicate that the vote of
conservative Democrats bids fair

cused with Pottier for the alleged
murder, will not be tried, according
to Thomas p. Revelle. United States

The verdict came as no surprise
to the Government. 1t was said.
Revelln declared before the verdict
was returned that the Government rea-
lized that its case against the
defendant was not strong. In
fact. the question of dismissing the
indictments was raised shortly after
the grand jury returned it's findings
two years ago. but Attorney General
Daugherty ruled that, having been
placed under a cloud by indictments,
the defendants were entitled to have
their names cleared by jury. Revelle
said.

GOOD CROPS HELP
COOLIDGE TO HOLD
EDGE IN NEBRASKA
Norris Certain to Retain
Senate Seat, With Demo-

BY G.. GOULD LINCOLN,

OMAHA, Nebr., October 11.-The
famous triangular duel of Mr. Mid
shipman Easy isn't a patch on the
fight being waGed in the State of
Nebraska today between Republicans,
Democrats and Independent Progress
sives for the eight electoral votes of
the State. Unlike many other States,
the voting strength of the three
parties is fairly even today, so even.
in fact, that neutral observers and
even partisans admit that almost
anything can happen" The situa-
ton, however, is constantly shifting
and a canvass of, sentiment here
shows it to be shifting in favor of
President Coolidge.
The probabilities are:
That Coolidge and Dawes will get
the electoral vote.
That Senator Norris, Republican,
will be reelected
That the Democratic nominee for
governor. J. n. Norton, will be elected
State Normally Republican.
Nebraska is accounted by poll
tiCians in the various camps as nor
by 10000 votes. That in itself is
an asset to the Republican party If
the Independent Progressive ticket
draws from the two old parties to
an equal degree, the Republicans are
left at least stronger than the Demo-
Gratis.
Another asset of the Republicans,
which comes to them through an act
of Providence rather than through
any virtue of their own, is the bet
ter prices for wheat corn and other
farm products, and the good crops
which Nebraska has produced. Even
the frost, it appears, is siding with
Coolidge, and has held off in Nebra IA
until the corn crop could mature. The
better conditions of the agricul-
turists-and agriculture is the great
industry of the State-is reflected
in the results Of the bank call an
nounced here today. The total de-
posits of the eight national banks
of Omaha showed an increase of
