* Dawes Hearers I Warned Against Red Flag Party Says Real Issue Between Pro gressive Conservatism and Untried and Dangerous Radicalism. i _____ (Continued From Page One.) callsm.” He said this movement had a platform drawn by one man, de signed to soften “apprehension as to what the movement really means." Says Democrats Straddlers. “A man is known by the company he keeps," said Mr. Dawes, and quoted from Associated Press dis patches concerning the Cleveland convention. He read a statement that “The socialist party formally en rolled under the La Follette banner," and another quoting Eugene V. Debs ns thinking It “wise for our party to make no nominations" and “to keep the red flag flying." "Here is the battle alignment, and here are the flags," said Mr. Dawes. Between these two armies of “pro gressive conservatism and of radical ism,” Mr. Dawes named the demo cratic party “with one conservative and one radical candidate, hoping to get votes by avoiding the issue.” He predicted the democrats would "suf fer the fate which befalls those who try to straddle in a real fight.” Face Abnormal Condition. “We are face to face with an ab normal condition in this country. The American citizen lias seen men ad vocating in the same state at th. same time, irrespective of their in consistencies, increased wages for railroad labor and decreased railroad rates, and higher prices for beef on the hoof and lower prices for beef on the table. From the average candi date, in either party, the American citizen must accept either evasion or a doctrine designed to please him, whether or not it tends to plunge the whole country into disaster. “Robert M. La Follette, leading the army of extreme radicalism, has a platforfh demanding public ownership of railroads and attacking our courts. “Our nation Is asked to follow an attack upon them (our constitutional principles) massed behind an aggres sive personality, a heterogenous col lection of those opposing the existing order of things, the greatest section of which, the socialists, flies the red flag; and into what? Into reopening of war upon those fundamental prin ciples of human liberty and inalien able rights of man which are giving in this country ssW opporeunity to the humblest.” , Stores Demo Stand on League. Mr. Dawes said the league of na tions was not> approved by the people of the United States because it did not make clear to their minds that it did not encroach on the sovereign W■ ty of the United States. "Perhaps,” he said, “If those who drew the league plan had felt It in cumbent to make Its exact meaning ns clear to the average man as those who drew It, the United States might have been spared immersion for five years in the Immense fog hank of de bate on the league." The democratic platform declara tion on the league, he characterized as “an invitation to again enter that fog of debate in a public referendum.” He thought that the people of tho United States have settled on "two great fundamental principles,” first that the country's sovereignty and independence must always bo pre served, and second that the country should meet its International duties unflinchingly. Taking these princi ples. he said, the Harding-Coolidge administration inaugurated a con structive policjf. with important steps instanced in the four-pact naval treaty and the expert committee on reparations. World Court Plan Praised. “With the experts' plan Inaugurat ed.” he said, “all Europe turns to ward a new and peaceful life. The United States will he saved from the depths of an Inevitable and great de pression in Industry and agriculture which the continued chaos and mjs ory in Europe would entail. Indeed the whole world enters upon a period of peaxe and prosperity.” “In the propositions of President Coolidge In connection with the world court, there la safeguarded the sovereignty of the United States and its Interests." Likening the world court to a court house, Mr. Dawes said: is "Because we help build the court P»,'iouse, we do not have to try cases in It, unless we desire to. But we must remember that sometimes when a house Is built, it may be a very con venient thing to go into to avoid rain and lightning Yes. snd prob ably avoid the thunderbolts of war." Asserting that American citizenship Commands Foreign Policy, will trust Its representatives to up hold as ably and fearlessly the honor of the country and the flags In any <:r*ofllct of peace as It trusts “Its youth behind the flag In war,” Mr. Dawes said: “The republican platform on for eign relations outlines a policy which, carried out with the common sense, clear vision and courage of Calvin Coolidge, offers the American people a constructive course of honor, safety and progress. It offers the only pol icy whlrh at this time means th* pos sibtllty of accomplishment.” Mr. Dawes said that In hie speech at Lincoln, Neb., August 29, he would discuss "the nonpartisan and eco nomic agricultural question." t-\ School Girl Ghums Act as Pallbearers for Slain Girl’s Funeral v_/ Special DUputrh to The Omaha Bee.

"As for scandals, we don't need to go back farther than the war to find them in a democratic adminatration. The democratic administration created more millloralres during the w-ar than had been in existence in all pre vious American history." The political complexion of those In attendance savored strongly of the old non-partisan league and railway brotherhoods, excepting in the pres ence and active participation of Jerry Howard, former Omaha democrat, and Frank Coffey and J. H. Allen of Lincoln, democrats All three were active in promoting the candidacy of Governor Bryan two years ago. A1 len is identified In politics as "Tower and Power" Allen. Republican Counted by Mistake. State Senator John McGowan of Norfolk, a republican, was present and signed a paper which nil who oc cupied the first floor of. the conven tion hall were compelled to sign be fore gaining admittance. Those who refused to sign were given scats In the balcony. La Follette men assert ed signatures were really a pledge to support La Follette. "It does not mean I am for La Fol lette," Senator McGowan said. "I didn't read the paper. They merely told me a signature was only for the purpose of putting La Follette and Wheeler on the ballot. I eigned for the reason that ns an American. I be lleva anyone ivho desires should get In the race. "I am for the republican ticket.

I By JOE JACOBS. ( Staff forrrsiionilfnt of Th« Omaha B®®. Bedford, la., Aug. 19.—"I slept like a log last night," aeserted Carl Hough In his cell In the Bedford Jail this morning. "My conscience Is clear. I don’t remember harming that girl." Hough Is held In connection with the elaylng of Lillian McKinney, 21, Herrick, 6. D., who ran away from home with him August 5. Her body was found under a bridge near Bed ford last Wednesday. Hough ate heartily this morning and seemed unaffected by the silence of three alleged bootleggers Impris oned with him, who shun and refuse to speak to him. Face Flushes at Bridge. Hough arrived at Bedford at 5:30 Monday night In custody of Deputy Sheriff Paul Parrish and State Agent Hiram Long, who motored with him In the "death car" from Sioux City, where he was apprehended Sunday. When the death car crossed the bridge 10 miles out of Bedford under which the beaten body of Lillian Mc Kinney was found. Hough's face flushed and he dropped his gale to the floor of the car. He did not lift them until the machine had left the spot some 100 yards behind. Bedford Is excited over Its first kill ing in 15 years. A large crowd is expected to attend the Inquest which will be held Wednesday morning at the courthouse. County Attorney J. It. Locke announced this morning that he would place 12 persons on the stand for the state. To Examine Rough. "I will present enough evidence only to get the Jury s verdict," he said. ”1 expect to be able to file first degree murder charges against Hough immediately after the Inquest." Dr. Max E. Wlttie of the Clarlnda Insane asylum Is on his way to Bed ford at the request of Locke. Locke wishes him to examine Hough. Dr. Wlttie may be used to forestall any attempt of Hough to plead lnsunlty. The county attorney stated this morning that he has found no exact motive for the crime, but that he has several theories. f-N Carl Hough Threw Eggs at Tear her in Class, Sclwolmate Recalls v J Raymond Hatch, probate clerk In the office of the clerk of the district court at Council Bluffs, was s schoolmate at Oakland, la., of Carl Hough, who Is being held at Bed ford, la., for Investigation in con nection with the death of IJIIian McKinney. Hatch recalls that Hough was something of a .lekyll-Hyde type In school, behaving himself usually, but subject to certain spells of irre sponsibility, during which he did many queer things. "f>n one occasion, Just before he quit attending school, Hough brought some eggs to class and threw them at the teacher," said Hatch. “1 heard several times that he was Involved In worthless rheck deals and I recall one escapade In which lie 'borrowed' an automobile to visit a sweetheart."

(Continued From Page One.) dress of President Coolldge of June 30 to the business organization of the government, supplemented as it is by the response and report of General Lord, the present director of the bu reau of the budget. If all thought ful citizens would but read these rec ords of achievement now published by the government in pamphlet form, they would with one accord exclaim "Kureka!" We have found In the present republican administration the salvation of our nation’s future wel fare.” The delegates to the republican na tional convention at Cleveland, on June 12 of the present year, had no other boss than that of the expressed will of republicans who had directed them by an overwhelming primary vote to nominate Calvin Coolldge for president of the United States. This that convention did with full assur ance that the thinking people will elect him November 4. The delegates to that convention were then determined to nominate a qualified, outstanding, courageous re publican, who would bring to the office of vice president a wide experi ence and a clear understanding of public problems as they pertain to the different occupations of the American peoples of the world. They soon singled out a man who, by the practice of frugality and Indi vidual Initiative, struggled over and beyond the financial hardships of his younger days. One who is armed with faith and courage to do that which produces honest achievement in private and public life. Vice President of Ability. In nominating the republican can didate for vice president, the conven tion’s sole purpose was to help the nation by calling to its service once more the man whose ability and cour age • enabled him, during President McKinley's administration, to admin ister wisely the office of comptroller of the currency: The man who, while a soldier, was chief of supply procurement for the American army in France, and co-or dinator of the supply activities of the allied armies in the zone of advance at the western front: The man who put force and power Into the administration of the budget law, following its enactment by a republican congress and approval by a republican president: The man whose heart, notwith standing his great success In private and public life, still prompts his mind to plan and his will to do for his fellow man who Is struggling over the road of hardship and adversity: The man who so recently crossed the aeas as the head of that commit tee of experts, which brought forth a fair and proper plan for adjust ment of German reparations in place of that provided by the treaty of Ver sallies. The T>awes plan is today the hope of the nation and of the world. It was no wonder, General Dawes, that the republican convention called you again to duty and service for your country's welfare. The dele gates had the faith to believe that you would accept the call, and that when elected to this great office, you would counsel with and help the pres ^ At Ten Dollars Eacfc ^ W-e-d-n-e-»-d-a-y Buy for now and next »«»»on.

There was some one else In the old Pasture so busy picking berries that he paid little attention to anything aside from his busy fingers. It was Farmer Brown’s Boy. He had filled one Mg pail with those delirious ber ries and was picking as fast as he could make his fingers go to fill an other big pail. There were no leaves and no sticks and no green berries in those two pails. Farmer Brown’s Boy does not believe in doing work twice. Those berries would have to be pick ed over when he reached home. Now Farmer Brown’s boy wasn't trying not to make any noise, but he j made very little. He has learned to move cuietly, and he doe* It without thinking. So It was that such sound* as he did make were very small sounds. The Merry little Breezes of Old Mother West Wind had picked them up and carried them over to Buster Bear. With them they carried the scent of Farmer Brown's boy. But Buster was to busy filling hie stom ach with berries to use ears or nose, and so he had no Idea that Farmer Brown’s boy was even In the Old Pasture. Buster had stripped most of the berries from one big bush. He stood up and looked about with eager, greedy eyes. Not far off he saw an For a few seconds Buster was too suprised to move. other big bush loaded with big, ripe blueberries. Buster dropped down onto all four feet and began to break his way through the lower bushes and vines between him and the big bush. Now as I have said before, Buster's eyesight is not of the best. Perhaps if he had been less greedy he might have discovered something moving back of that big bush. It was Farmer Brown's boy. He had just begun pick ing the berries on the farther side of that big bush. Of course, he heard Buster Bear coming. He peeped around the buah. There was Buster crashing through the smaller bushes straight for that bush. Do you think Farmer Brown’s boy ran? He didn’t. He had seen Buster and the member* of his family often enough to pretty throughly under stand them. Farmer Brown’s hoy slrn ly stood perfectly still. He wasn t afraid. He was filled with lively curi osity to see what Buster would do. He suspected that Bueter would take to his heels as scon as he discovered some one else was In that berry bush. Buster came straight on with funny, little, eager whines. When he reached the bush he sat up and greedily reached for( the nearest berries. It was then that he saw* Farmer Brown's boy looking straight. Into his eyes from the other side of that bush. For a few seconds Buster was too surprised to move. He sat there and stared at Farmer Brown’s boy with such a furmy. startled look on his face that It was all Farther Brown's boy could do to keep from laughing right out. Farmer Brown’s boy expected to see Buster turn and take to his heels as fast as he could go. That is what he had done w*hen they had unex pectedly met In the Old Pasture once before long ago. But Buster did noth ing of the kind. Slowly he dropped down on all fours. Slowly he turn'd and began to walk away. He didn’t hurry at all. He pretended that he didn’t know that any one was about. He stopped and looked off in another direction. Then he started on again as if he were simply out walking for his health. Finally he disappeared amongst the bushes. He had preserv ed his self-respect.
