Wednesday in tho newly completed home at 1525 West Broadway, Council Bluffs, where she and Oliver Linebarger, 81. are spending their honeymoon.

Fast. 101 North Thirty first avenue, pastor of the First Meth odist church in Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. William Harsh, sob in-law and daugh ter of the bride, accompanied them. The little love nest on West Broad way was planned carefully by the pair with the assistance of a carpen ter. No architect was required to advise them upon the conveniences to be embodied as features of a com fortable home. They knew what they wanted. The honeymoon house was con structed with tiio thousands of nick els and dimes which Einebarger has received during tho years ho has operated the little popcorn stand at the corner of Bay tins park on Pearl street. Then It was tastefully fur nished by the engaged pair with all the eagerness and delight shown by many a younger couple. j When everything was in readiness they obtained their marriage license at the court house in Omaha and on Sunday quietly slipped out to the home of the Methodist pastor, where the knot was tried. Even Dr. C. A. Einebarger of the Bluffs, son of the bridegroom, did not know of his fath er's plans until they had been con- j summated. —-- a I Brock Woman Heads Federated Clubs Tecumsoh, Neb., April 4.—The an nual convention of the first district Federated Women's aiubs closed Wednesday.

Hearst Is Weak as Candidate Personal Backing Held Too Weak to Assure Presiden tial Nomination. By MARK SULLIVAN*. Special Dispatch to The Omsliii He*. Washinton, April 5.—It is given out< that as a result of his Identification with the victorious side in the Chi cago election this week, Mr. Hearst wil have the Illinois delegation in the next democratic convention. That is possibly true, hut subject to serious qualification. Hearst may have the Illinois delegation for a few early complimentary ballots, but Hearst Is not going to figure in the democratic situation next year as a serious can didate for the nomination. For one reason, he cannot possibly have the delegation from his home etat<h New York. The New York delegation is going to lie under the leadership of men who oppose Hearst with a violent per sonal hate. For another reason, per sons who are in a position to inter pret Mr. Hearst's mind, say that at the age of 60 and after a life time of unsuccessful aspirations for office, he has come to see the distinc tion between himself as the owner of a strong chain of newspapers. Hearst following Small. In himself an a candidate for of fice he has little personal following and little power. But when he re frains from running himself, he has, through his newspapers, very great power. There is best of reasons for saying that Hearst sees this and will be guided by It next year. In the campaign next year, Hearst w ill not be a candidate personally, but he will have a candidate for the re publican nomination, and that candi date will be Hiram Johnson. This is on the assumption that Hiram John son will be ifi the republican race, and the forces that want Johnson in, grow more and more confident that plans will work out as they wish. Hearst will also have a favorite in the democratic race other than him self. While it is less possible to he certain who his democratic favorite will be. one sure thirg is that it will he an anti-league of nations demo crat. These, of course,, are not nu merous. May Bark Reed. IS may be Senator Reed of Mis souri. There is good reason for say ing that in the mood of exalfatton Rc-ed had he had come succesfully through his remarkable personal conjieback last fall, ho gave kindly tolerance to the idea of running for the democratic presidential nomina tion. As an anti league of nations demo crat, Reed may run and Hearst may help him. But Reed will not win. Neither will any other anti-league of nations democrat get the democratic nomination. Hearst with the help he will have from others could come much nearer success In getting the republican nomination for lliratri Johnson than getting the democratic nomination for an anti-league of nations democrat. Illinois for l nderwood. To return to the Illinois demo cratic delegation,'that delegation may cast a few complimentary ballots for Ilearst but llearst won t control it. As things Stand today, as good a guess as any would be that Oscar Underwood will be ihe ultimate bene ficiary of tho Illinois delegation. Underwood,' may also bo the bene ficiary 'of the New York delegation after a complimentary ballot or so has been cast for Governor Smith. It turns out. In fact, that Under wood is going to have untilmately many of those states and many of these "old guard" democratic lead ers that Cox had in 1920. It would not bo accurate to read into this analogy too much prediction of success for Underwood. Cox was nominated not by the strength lie had before the convention met, but by re markable strategy developed within the convention after U got under way. Also, McAdoo wilt be"a more formida ble competitor in 1924 than he was In .1920, With the republican situation, the program of nominating Harding by prearrangement and without vigorous opposition continues in effect, but every few days something has happen ed that makes one wonder if this pro gram will go through. For example, in the Chicago election this week, nothing could be more clear than the fact that Senator Medill McCormick has an amount of power in that big state not equalled by any other one republican leader In any one state.
