OLD SORES TO
WIN NEBRASKA
Digs Up Roosevelt Plea OF
1920 to InfIame States
Foreign Born.
PIN HOPES ON TARIFF
Democratic Triumph Seems
Assured Unless Late
Reversal Comes.

LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 30-"Our
Republican friends are seeking the
hyphenated vote. We Democrats do
not want that hyphenated vote. We
want only the American vote"
Through liberal use of this re-
ported 1920 statement by Governor
Roosevelt and emphasis on the Re-
publican tariffs protection of Ne
braska farm and livestock products.
Republican leaders still hope to
overcome a Democratic presidential
lead now placed at about 100000
votes.
Unless these tactics succeed. il is
admitted that the Democratic presi-
Dental nominee will win the state
through the aid of discontented
Republican farmers and Norris pro-
greSSiveS.
Roosevelt'S reference to the NV
phenated vote" alleged to have
been made during his 1920 VICE
presidential tour, is regarded as
good ammunition. There are MANY
voters of foreign descent here.
Moratorium Is Played Up
The G. o. P. also is plavino I'M
HooVers moratorium to Germany
and the part Roosevelt took in the
World war as assistant secretary
of the navy.
We will win after we bepin
pounding on the tariff" declared
Robert Smith, Norris champion, but
now Republican state chairman Elk
cept for Senator Howell, Smith is
ABOUT the only friend of the pro-
gresSlve senator who is vocal in
support of Hoover.
Smith points out that beef is one
OF Neoraska's principal products.
and about the only one holding up
j price. Wheat is another
Without Republican tariffs and
the hoof-and-mouth embargo ON
Argentinian cattle, Republican ora
tors proclaim, the Nebraska farmer
would be worse off than he is now.
Polls at the state fair showed
Roosevelt leading Hoover three to
one on Democratic day, and 21z to 1
on Republican day. Canvasses bv
rural Republican newspapers give
similar results. Despite the states
reputed dryness, prohibition repeal
is ahead by three to one.
Stress AL Smith Issue
AS elsewhere, Democratic regis
tration has increased. Besides being
hard hit, the state always has dis
played independence and progress
Slvlsm when given a chance. It re-
elected Norris by tremendous ma
jority in 1880, despite his support
OF Al Smith in 1928, and La Fol-
lette in 1924.
The Republicans are irving To
Keep alive soreness among Smiths
admirers, especially in Omaha.
Frank McDermott, Irish-CathoHc
treasurer of the Republican state
central committee, has attacked
Roosevelt, National Committeeman
Artnur w. Mullen, and Speaker
Garner for knitting" Smith.
Roosevelt owed his political
prominence to Smith," SAYS McDer-
mott IN his radio talks, but he for
SOCK Smith to achieve his own per-
sonal ambitions"
Howard Refutes Claim
But Representative Edgar Howard
long-haired former secretary of
William Jennings Bryan, answers
TINS charge by telling of his part in
tne Garner shift to Roosevelt at
chicago. Howard says it was he
who conferred with Garner at
washington on request OF Roose-
velt'S friends at the convention. and
mat McAdoo had nothing to do
with the agreement until it was ne
gotiated.
Howard says that he at Washing
ton and Senator Tom Connallv at
Chicago handled the affair. and that
McAdoo jumped on the band wagon
because there was nothing else
to do.
The Democrats have high hopes
OF carrying all five congressional
seats, but admit that two Republic
ans will be hard to defeat. They
are Representative Malcolm Bald
ridge of Omaha, former Yale foot
ball star, and Representative Rob-
ert Simmons.
Governor Charles w. BRYAN il
expected to win easily, and probably
nelp Roosevelt, despite the 1882
soreness against the "ins."
Rural Republican publishers are
IN revolt against the small volume of
Republican advertising, due to use
of the radio.
