'At each place, Governor Morehead will make a short talk and introduce Mr. Neville. The itinerary has already been published.

Mr.

Neville is pledged to pursue the same business policies which have distinguished Governor Morehcad's administration and won for it the approval of men of all parties. These two days are not the only time which Governor Morehead will give to i the campaign. The governor wishes his friends to know that he feels as strong an interest in democratic success when he himself is not a candidate as when he is. He will make other speeches for the democratic ticket, the places to be announced later. Governor Morehead, in his campaign talks will tell of what has been accomplished by the state administration, but he will not confine himself to state affairs.

He will call attention to the long list of achievements which President Wilson and a democratic con- press have brought and to the unprecedented prosperity which the people of this country- are enjoying. When Mr. Neville tours the First congressional district, he will be accompanied by Edgar Howard, candt- date for lieutenant governor. The two will be together in Otoe, Cass, Nemaha, Richardson, Johnson and Pawnee counties. FIRST HflLT Coach Stewart's Players Shiver In Half Hour Practice At Julesburg.

Oct. a baby in her arms," Catherine Marak fired three shots in the crowded courtroom of Judge Foells today, probably wo.unding Jacob Klaus, wlio hart been named by her husband in a divorce suit.

Klaus, the brother of an alderman, was shot in the head and in the back. The third shot went wild. frs. Marak is the mother of four children. Klaus wan a witness In the- suit for her husband.

The woman declared that Klaus had ruined home and happincwa and had then teemed Judge Arthur G. Wray, of Tork, will preside and introdcce Judge A. D. Norton! of Missouri, at the Wilson meeting: irf Lincoln on Thursday evening, to be held in the large banquet room of the "Llndell hotel. A special invitation is extended to progressives, owing to the fact that both the chairman and the principal speaker are members of that party.

In his introductory remarks. Judge Wray will have something to say as to why the progresslxes should give their support, to President Wilson. Judge Nortonl's speech will be an expose of the deal engineered by George W. Perkins to turn the bull moose party over to the standpat republican bosses, to- of what the Wilson administration has accomplished along progressive lines and a plain statement of what it "would mean to have the national government turned over again to the party that, is controlled by Wall street Everywhere that Judge Norton! has spoken, he has made a very strong impression upon the minds of voters. He Is one of the most powerful and convincing orators now on the stump for any political party.

Ho comes to Lincoln for the only speech he will make in Nebraska, after a. tour of Colorado a.nd other far western states. Some Sour A bad case of sour grapes is In evi- at republican state headquarters over the public- announcement by Judge Wray, published several days ago, that he has decided to support President Wilson because the latter stands for progressive ideas ajid policies and has caused many of them to be enacted into law. Secretary Beebe of tjie g. o.

p. state committee has given out a statement calling Wray a "disturber in the ranks" and saying he never was a very good republican, anyway. Wray has not claimed to be a republican since 1912, as he left the party in that year because he could not stand for Taft and standpatism. He had been a good enough republican, however, previous to that time to be nominated and elected county judge on the republican ticket In York county. The fact'is that a very persistent effort was made to-hold Judge Wray in line for Hughes this year.

His law partner at York Is a republican and a candidate for office this year, and pressure "was brought to bear on Wray not to come out for Wilson, on that account. But Wray refused to let his business associations or personal friendships overcome his political principles, and that is what is now i the republican managers. They realize that his action in supporting Wilson, along with such other leading progressives as J. C. Harpham, W.

J. Broatch, G. O. Van Meter, Will S. Jay and numerous others, will make it impossible to carry Nebraska for Hughes.

The speech made here last Thursday by Balnbridge Colby of New 'York crystallized a big percentage of the bull moose strength in Nebraska for It is predicted that Nortoni's speech -Thursday evening will bring still mora of the progressives into line for the president's re-election.

Redmond Denounces System of Government Maintained for the Island. (Associated Press. LONDON, Oct. Irish tlon was again brought to the fore in the house of commons today with the introduction by John Redmond of ft motion criticising the system of government of the island. The motion reads: "That the system of Rovernment at present maintained in Ireland Is inconsistent with the principles wherc- for the fillies are fighting In TCuropo and is.

or has been, mainly responsible for the recent unhappy events and for the present state of feeling In that country." Since Mr. Redmond gave not ire of his Intention to attiick the government, the Irish leaders have hold a number ot conferences with Baron Wlmborne, lord lieutenant of Ireland, which probably had more to do with the suggestion of extension of conscription to Ireland, tTwn with the grievances arising from continuance of martial laws and the failure to release all those nrreHted during the uprising in Ireland last spring. However, the question of conscription did not come under Mr. Redmond's motion. It doubtless will be discussed tomorrow when the whole subjtlt of the man power of the empire comes under reviisw.

John Halson moved as an amendment to the Redmond motion the following: "Having regard for the importance of the United Kingdom and Ireland combining with the rest of the empire in presenting a unite front to the enemy, it Is at the present time to discuss controversial matters of domestic politics."
