The uniforms of the men were not

The rifles we're good (most OF them

Each soldier was always supplied
with 100 to $50 cartridges. They had
at least six varieties of rifles, each

Senator Robinson was prepared to
send the host OF party workers who had
come to hear him speak tonight in the
20,000-seaI University of Nebraska Au-
ditorium back to their labors with ad-
ditional campaign arguments. Among
the subjects he has selected to carry
on his Middle Western campaign are an
attack upon the Republican farm relief
policy and a bid for the support OF
woman voters.
One of the questions over which Ne
braska Democrats are manifesting great
interest is whether Senator G. w. Nor
ris, one of the Senate's independent Re-
publican group, will make fiat decla-
ration in favor OF Gov. Smith. Some
Democratic leaders of this State are
sanguine, while Others profess skeptl-
cism on this score. At any rate, the
party workers calculated that Senator
Robinson would recognize the praise

In expectation that this section would
desire to hear the Democratic views on
farm relief, Senator Robinson assem-

in his speech tonight. In his Nebraska
speeches already delivered he has CEN
tered his attack upon Herbert Hoover
and Senator Curtis, the Republican
nominees, to whom he referred as "the
men most responsible for the failure of

Robinson will travel northward through

From there he goes to Sioux Falls, S.

will head their second geological expe-
dition for the Field Museum of Natural
History November 10. it was announced
today by Stephen c. Simms, director
of the museum.
With Suydam Cutting of New York
City, they will seek rare animals in un-
explored mountains and jungles of
Southeastern Asia. The scientists will
survey the region lying northward of
Indo-China along the gorges of the
Mokong River and abutting the borders
of Burma, Siam and Yunnan.
The latter objective of the expedition
will be sought by a second party under
the leadership of Harold Coolidge, jr.,
a young mammalogist of Boston. He
will be accompanied by DR.. Josselyn
Van Tyne, assistant curator of birds
at the museum of zoology of the Uni
versity of Michigan, DR. Ralph E.

donated by William Y. Kelley, president
of the Miehle Printing Press and Manu-
featuring Co, Chicago, and in conse-
Quence the expedition has been named

pedition of Eastern Asia.
The first part of the expedition, un-
der the RooseveltS will sail from New

semble equipment and proceed to the
Yunnan border. They hope, in the
Yunnan hills. to shoot specimens of a
large deer of an unidentified species
which is known only by native reports.
Another trophy will be the takin, de-
scribed as 'goat-antelope," never Sc
cured by civilized hunters.
Young Coolidge's division will sail
December % from Vancouver on the
Empress of France for Hongkong, and
then will take another ship for French

DALLAS, Tex, October 22.-Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho today came
into the traditional Democratic strong
hold of Texas to deliver a speech here
which was regarded by Republican
leaders as one of the most important
thrusts of the campaign to sway the
Lone Star States voters to the cause
of Herbert Hoover.
The address, to be delivered at 8
o'clock tonight in the State Fair Park
Auditorium. is the sixth of the cam
paign trip that the Senator has been
making through the solid South" and
border States in behalf of the Re-
publican presidential nominee 1t will
be broadcast over a regional radio
hook-up.
A busy time has been arranged for
the Senator during his one-day stay
here. A group of Republican and
Hoover Democratic leaders, including
r. B. Creager, Republican national
committeeman for Texas Thomas B.
Love, former Democratic national COM
mitteeman for Texas, and former Gov

campaign, to make it appear that we
are appealing to religious intolerance
although such intolerance has been
repeatedly denounced by Republican
campaign managers and by Mr.. Hoover,
who in his acceptance speech and SUBJ
sequently made the most earnest ap-
peal for complete tolerance in this
campaign.
Effect Oh Intolerance.
"The obvious purpose of these opposi-
ton tactics Is to capitalize into votes
the natural resentment of many Amer
leans against religious intolerance. 1t
does not serve and is not intended to
decrease intolerance; it serves only to
tan the flame.
Probably no more un-American thing
has occurred in this campaign than the
delloerate appeal to race prejudice
throughout the South, where the Demo-
cratic organization has engaged in
fiction intended to incite the race
prejudice of white people against Mr..
Hoover, while in the North reverse
English has been used to incite negroes
against the Republican candidate. In
doing this the opposition has been
needless of the fact that such stirring
of racial. as of religious intolerance,
inficts wounds which will remain for
generation after this election is over.
In view of the known intention OF
Democratic leaders to carry forward
this type of campaign with increasing
intensity, 1t might be wise for the
public to be on Its guard against the
unreStrained indecencies of those whose
fury has become desperate. In few
days the abSurditieS, personalities and
ISLANDERS will cease. On November Z
they will be forgotten, but the voters
will have to confront during four years
the results that come out of this cam
paign.
Wants Real Issues Faced.
ut will be well for us to keep our
minds upon the material issues which
affect our welfare SO definitely. The
harrage of mud is for the purpose of
covering up the real issues and con-
fusing the clear thinking people in the
closing days of the campaign
"One of the most serious signs of our
times is that no man, no matter how
distinguished and unSelfiSh his years of
service to the country have been, can
escape, as candidate for high Office,
the assault of malignant slanderers.
Unless this growing tendency in Ameri-
can politics be halted. no man of
character will dare to offer himself for
Office. for fear of the professional
assassins of regulations. An opportu-
nifty is now offered to the American peo-
pie to administer to such tactics so
crushing a rebuke that it will here
after be deemed unsafe to use them. "
