'Ouit Gumshoeing,’ Advice of Borah to Party Leaders Idaho Senator Sees Danger From Third Party Unless G. O. P. Chiefs Adopt Fearless Program. Akron, O. March 22.—Inviting his party to “quit gumshoeing” for votes nod adopt a clear cut and fearless program, Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, declared in an address last night that by such a course repub lican leaders could put an end to a third party movement which now ap pears “not improbable." "Political conditions are distressing ly unsatisfactory to both political parties.” said Senator Borah, speak- , mg at a banquet held in honor of Abraham Iancoln by the republican county committee. "The voter is alarmingly Independ ent. Party lines are shadowy and uncertain. Party lines are confus ing. The rank and file are distrust ful. And yet the people are deeply and profoundly interested in public questions and eager for information upon all political problems. "If I were to suggest the underly ing fundamental vice of American politics at this time I would unhesita tingly declare that It consists IP play- | lug the game on too low a standard— , far below the level of both the intelli- | genre and patriotism of the voter. The problems now pressing for at- t tention are In many ways the most difficult ever presented to the Ameri can electorate. "We know these problems are here ami no one can be unconcerned in legard to them. But we seem to lack i boldness and determination In deal - ing with them. "In my opinion, wht we really lack is not capacity, not intellectual un- ' derstandlng of the task, but a want of faith, apparently, in the willing ness of the electorate to follow a bold and determined program. We are still trying to hold together and win battles through the power of patron age, the appeal to past party achieve ments and denunciation of the oppo sition. It is a fearful mistake. Tt is bringing us to the brink of political disaster and ruin. The people are fur ahead of their leaders, both In con ception of duty and of courage. If we can once understand this fact and believe It, we shall rescue the repub lican party from its present perilous situation and render incalculable service to the country. "A democrat in the days of Jack .-on was a crusader. A republican n the days of Lincoln was an apostle, fllve the people the Issues and the program of those heroic days in party politics will return."

Lady Nicotine Exacts Life of Woman First Time Here Victim Goes to Sleep on Red While Smoking Cigaret —Attempt at Rescue Comes Too Late—Friends Blame Booze and Dope. Omaha’s first woman sacrifice to Milady Nicotine went silently to a flaming death Wednesday afternoon while her son of Hi. out to ‘‘bring mother bark home," frequented neigh borhood highways for sight of her. Site was Sarah Henrietta Reagan. 3.1, around whom is woven a story of Omaha shadows—rum, eigarets. dope —with the only lights bursting through those of unwavering love and ambition to win back a place in so eiety on a little Ozarks farm. Mrs. Reagan went to sleep on a bed in a little house at the rear of Ida Kelly's home at 1140 North Seventeenth street while smoking a rigaret. Mrs. Kelly was asleep in an other room. Roy Kelly, her son. and Sam Bohl, a roomer, returned home. JiUTTOlinaefl ny runirs. “Mrs. Reagan had run from her bed and was standing at the side of portieres that had been ignited and were flaming around here.” Bohl, suf fering from numerous blisters, said this morning. “She just stood there like a statue, never uttering a word. I rushed to her side and threw a blanket around her, and she threw her head hark." Her hair was switched back over Bohl's face. He showed burns where it had rested momentarily. “if she had only screamed we could have saved her," Eohl declared. “A scream would have awakened Mrs. Kelly and hurried us to the rescue. Mrs. Reagan died five minutes after I reached her.'' To Mrs. Anna Cass, a white-haired woman residing at 3 720 Dodge street, Mrs. Reagan was "the little girl I took and raised.” “If she had just stayed at home— but she wouldn't," Mrs. Cass mourned Thursday. "Booze dit it—brought her down almost to bones from the big, healthy girl she was 15 years ago. None of us could get her to stay home, none except 'Shorty.' " “Shorty" Murry, divorced husband of Mrs. Reagan, according to Mrs. Cass, is serving 14 months in Heaven worth prison on a dope charge of which she says he is innocent. A misunderstanding before he went to prison four months ago was followed by divorce. "But they were planning to be re married the day he was arrested," Mrs. Cass said, "and would have been wed as soon as he came ou* of prison. They were going to the Ozurks to make good. 'Shorty' could have made a woman of her again. Warned Family. "He warned the Kellys never to let her go to their house. If he were free—no, Howard, her son, couldn't influence her to remain here with us Wednesday afternoon he passed the house and stopped, hoping to see her. through a window, perhaps, and in ! fluenoe her to came hack home. She may have been lighting her fatal cigaret while he waited in the street for her.' Fire department chiefs said Mrs Reagan was Omaha's first woman vic tim of a cigaret fire and expressed I fear that other fatalities will follow from the spread of smoking among women. Funeral services for Mrs. Reagan were held at 2:30 p. m. Thursday from the JIulso & Riepen chapel and burial was in West Lawn cemetery.

Fourteen women were raptured in a raid on the printing plant of the Republican Bulletin.

The peace proposals provide that the republicans shall dump all their arms under a pledge that they be handed over to which ever party wins the next election. Postponement of the motion is con nected in some quarters with the visit here of Monslgnor l.uxio and the peace hopes based upon the papal emissary's investigation of conditions in Ireland. ______ ^ ift* Faints ^ lieu Husband Held for Fmbezzlfinent Mrs. II.
