Split in Ranks Impends Spwnl Despatch tn Tlic Omaha Be®. Grand Island, Neb., Aug. 19.—Sup porters of Senators La Follette and Wheeler, Including Frank Harrison, campaign manager, and Mike Har rington of O'Neill, were out beating the bushes tonight for a sufficient number of persons to makf the meet ing here a legal convention. At adjournment this afternoon only 210 were present as delegates. Five hundred are needed to make the convntlon legal. In addition to the troubles at tendant upon drumming up enough local residents to ‘‘make a conven tion,” the leaders of the La Follette party face the possibility of a split. W. J. Taylor and others want to nominate a state ticket. The leaders insist there shall be none. Steam rol ler tactics are being charged by Tay lor and those rvho believe In the state ticket Idea. ( all Delegates by Phone. "Well, gentlemen," Harrington said at the afternoon meeting, “We will adjourn until 7:30 because any action taken this afternoon will be illegal because of lack of attendance. I re quest everyone here to bring some one with them tonight.” Immediately after adjournment Frank A. Harrison, regions! director for the La Follette movement in the middle west, and his friends, hurried to telephones and Issued frantle calls to laboring men In Grand Island and r farmers In the vicinity to attend the meeting tonight. If there is a lack of attendance tonight an adjournment probably will be forced until tomor X ow. Two reasons wers advanced for fall ure of the afternoon meeting. Harri son's friends asserted that farmers could not leave their work, d rail road men were In the same position. Friends of Taylor, who are Insisting that a state ticket he named, assert that Harrison had Insisted on Inviting only those whom he knew were fav orable to the La Follette plan of placing only the names of La Follette and Wheeler on the ballot and as a consequence had alienated many per sons who were not Invited and were for La Follette but also Insisted on a state ticket. Democrat* Scored. The preliminary organization was undertaken and carried through. Harrington waa elected temporary chairman and George Wylie of Fair bury was elected temporary secretary. I-ater John F. Barth, deputy county attorney at Seward, and Marie Weeks or Norfolk were chosen permanent chairman and secretary respectively. This was as far a* the convention could go legally until the required 500 were present, Harrington an nounced. Harrington In his keynote speech stated that undoubtedly there would be sharp differences of opinion as the convention progressed as to whether or not a state ticket should he chos en. He pleaded that these differences be aired good naturedly. "La Follette by Insisting that he run Independent of local candidates Is placing himself In the role of a . dictator something we progressives ^ profess to despise," Taylor said. “This dictatorial attitude taken by La Fol lette la weakening him throughout the state." Democrat* Present. Harrington s address was filed with sharp criticism of the republican ad ministration because of the Tea Pot Dome Incident and even sharper eri tiesm of the democratic party because of its misdeeds in the past and pres ent.

Pact to Be Accepted by Germany Marx and Stresemann Score First in Fight Over Ratifi cation of Dawes Plan, Success Assured. French Deputies Angry Hy KARL. H. VON YVIEGAND, 1'niTersal Service Staff CorresjHindrnt. Berlin, Aug. 19.—Chancellor Marx and Foreign Minister Stresemann scored their first successes in the bat tle within Germany over the Dawes pet, which they signed at London. They are isolating the nationalist op position which was becoming very uncomfortable, and if present ten dencies continue, Germany's accept ance of the London pact may be deemed assured. In the first offensive the cabinet Is sued an official statement that unless the reichstag approves the Dawes settlement and enables the govern ment to put its final signature to the London agreement by August 30, the pact itsejf with ail Its unfavorable, but also with all its favorable aspects for Gerrfiany, will be invalid. MacDonald letter Helps. In particular, says the statement, such matters as Premier Herrlot's promise to evacuate Dortmund will also become Invalid. With that statement the govern ment put the nationalists squarely before the choice of either approving the London agreement or standing responsible before the country and the world for defeating that pact and prolonging French occupation of at least a part of German territory. The letter of Premier MacDonald to the French and Belgian premiers urging the earliest possible evacua tion of the Ruhr, even before the end of the year demanded by Herrlot, has further consolidated the government position. Nationalists Retreat. The government parties and the so clallsts have planted themselves solidly behind the cabinet In spit# of early signs of revolt of the right wing of the Stresemann party. The cabi net's action has been approved by the ministers of the Individual states. As a result the nationalists are begin ning to find uncompromising opposi tlon untenable and are already be ginning to organise a retreat. The nationalist press now says It is not Just a question of "yes" or "no," but thst there are various other i "considerations." This Is taken to I presage an "about fare" when the I reichstag meets Friday. MacDonald Letter to Ilerriot Causes Row By PrrM. Pari*. A UR. 19.—The lobbies of the : chamber of deputies were seething with Irritation today because of Pre mier MacDonald's letter to Premier Merrlot, urging an earlier evacuation of the Ruhr than agreed upon at the Igmdon conference. The French pre mier's supporters qualified the Brit ish prime minister's letter as a “back handed trick.'' until they learned that It had been published with M. Her rlot's consent. The opposition wrhleh normally would he eager to use the British document against Premier Ilerriot, apparently decided It would not be wise at this Juncture. The chances are that the minority action In tho forthcoming debate In the chamber will he limited to the reading of a declaration of principles nd criticisms w-hlch will put members on record be fore tho country. The only opposition 1* likely to come from the communist deputy. M Caohln, who la planning an Interpel lation on the reclgnltlon of the soviet government. The reluctance of vaca tioning deputies, however, to give no tice of interpellations—only one new one being reported today, bringing the total to nine—gives government supporter* ample ground for belief that the forthcoming passage at arms will he of short duration and will cul minate in a satisfactory, though not overwhelming, majority on a vote of confidence. The senate Is not expected to be much more difficult for the premier, as It Is now understood M, Poincare's widely heralded Interpellation will he mainly for the purpose of getting on record and will not be designed as an antigovernment onslaught long the lines made famous by M. Clemencenu. known ns "the overthrower of raid nets." The probabilities are now' for a short session of parliament. Klan Trial Starts.

All kno^ where It stands. Opposed to It, and In reality its chief opponent. Is a movement of untried and dangerous radicalism. This movement Is being conducted upon a platform drawn by one man. It Is a platform that has been designed to soften as much as possible the apprehensions a« to what the movement really means.

I quote from the same dispatch of the As s‘~ iated Press, from a telegram sent by Eugene V. Debs, resiling in part: "I think It wise for our party to make no nominations under the circumstances, but at the same time to hold the socialist party in tact, adhere rigidly to Its principles and keep the red flag flying ” Says the Associated Press further: "The Pebs sentiment echoed the opinions expressed In the debate by such party leaders as Morris Hill quit of New York.

Evanston, 111., Aug. 15.—Republi can Candidate for Vice President Charles G. Dawes hit out from the shoulder here tonight. Three lsslee, 'the fundamental principles of otir constitution,” the league of nations and the world court were the chief issues discussed in the address of acceptance by General Dawes. Mr. Dawes was notified of his nomination by A. W. Jefferis, a for mer representative from Nebraska, who placed him in nomination at the Cleveland convention and his re sponse was heard by a large outpour ing of republicans from the middle weert and by thousands of his neigh bors and friends in Evanston, and by delegations from nearby Chicago. They turned out despite a rain that had fallen most of the day, drench ing the lawn of the Dawes' home which stretches away to a park fronting on Lake Michigan. Many of the leading figures of the republican party were present at the ceremonies and participated in the old-time parade and rally that pre ceded the exercise. William M. But ler, chairman of the republican na tional commlc.ee, presided; Frank W. Stearns of Boston, close personal friend of President Coolidge, and Ed ward T. Clark, the president's per sonal secretary, were present as rep resentatives of the executive, and Governor Hyde of Missouri, half a hundred members of the house, a dozen senators and many national ■ommittee men and committee women were in the gathering. In discussing the constitution. Gen eral Dawes attacked the L* Follette movement, socialism and what he celled "radicalism” in the La Follette movement and In one section of the democratic party. He* termed the I-a Follette movement the chief op ponent of the republican party. He prefaced the address with figures on economy In public expense effected by the republican adminis tration. ' This Is s campaign of brass-tacks —not bombast,” said Mr. Dawes. "This administration reduced the cost of government operation, and ’.t was not by accident.” By this saving he said. ‘approx mately St.000,000 per day less, for national purposes, will be collected in 1925 from taxpayers than for ihe fiscal year of 19* 1." Pleads For Lower City Taxes In the last pre-budget year after debt payments federal expenditures were 59 per cent of the total and those of cities, states and towns A1 per cent In 192J. he said, the fed eral government took only IS per cent of the taxes compared with 72 per cent by the other three. "The federal government,” he Med. ,s headed in the right direc tion, and most of the states, cities and towns in the wrong direction,” Mr Dawes said President Coolidge was uninfluenced by motives of po litical expediency. ' The republican party, he said, stands firmly on the constitution. "Opposed to it.” he said, though ihe result may be to deadlock the presidency and make Bryar.istn sue i-eed the Coolidge policy, is a move ment of untried and dangerous radi (Turn l« Pace Three.
