Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Lincoln, Aug. 11.—Dispatches from
Omaha telling of the action of Com

announced,” Governor Bryan stated.

law will permit such action.
Commissioner Hopkins requested
the governor to enter the retail dis
tribution of gasoline in Nebraska at a
price sufficiently above cost to care
for any possible loss. He requested
that sufficient stations be established
in Omaha to care for the trade.

bitant prices were being asked by
dealers.

Nebraska
Political
Pot Boils
Leading Republicans Predict
Open Field in State in 1924
Presidential Preference
Primary.
Coolidge Is Favored
Omahans who follow the fortunes
and misfortunes of the political whirl
igig, are beginning to discuss the
probable effect of the death of Pres
ident Harding on Nebraska politics.
They recall that Senator Hiram John
son received the highest vote at the
presidential preferential primary in
1920, and that in the same year Hard
ing polled an overwhelming lead over
Wilson.
Frank Shotwell believes that 1?
President Coolidge pursues an ex
clusive American policy and contin
ues the economic reforms of Harding,
he may be nominated next year.
‘‘The death of President Harding
changes the political atmosphere In
Nebraska," he said. "In my opinion
It removes the Issue that was divid
ing the party and likely to cause se
rious defection. President Harding
carried Nebraska by more than 100,
000. This was Nebraska’* answer to
the entry of the United States into
the league of nations. The president
was popular and happy In his secure
place as leader of the republican par
ty and his renomination and re-elec
tion was very probable as the logical
sequence of events. Yet for Borne
reason other than political, possibly
on account of his passionate desire
and dream for world peace, he yielded
to his International advisers, Hughes.
Hoover and Root, and adopted their
reasoning of the world court program
and made that his major policy. Our
party immediately wag divided. The
majority declined his leadership. I
believe President Harding felt this
estrangement and, in a measure. It
undermined his health and caused his
untimely death.
Issues Unpopular.
‘‘If he had lived and contested in
Nebraska with Senator Johnson.
Senator Borah or Senator Watson, he
would have knrt by a Large majority
on this isau>. Economic IsBUes ere
lirgrly lost sight of In a campaign
when national sovereignty and per
sonal liberty are involved. President
Harding had become the champion of
two unpopular Issues that left him
without fighting fortes In his party,
towlt: the world court dream and pro
hibition. He was a good man with
high ideals, but his political course
Was laid out and charted by design
ing men who either did not want him
to succeed or else were ignorant of
the political thought of this nation.
Hia passing from the theRter of po
litical action removes this embar
rassing issue from within the party
and the republicans have no cause
for division.
"If Mr. Coolldge adopts an exclu
sive American policy and continues
the economic reforms of Harding in
business and government, he will be
nominated In 1924. If, on the other
hand, he attempts to take this na
tion Into European politics and on
langlementa, he will be succeeded by
either Senator Johnson, Borah or
Watson.
Mrs. Draper Smith, who has been
active in republican politics and in
obtaining auffrage for women, does
not believe that Mr. Coolldge will be
the next republican nr mince. How
ever, she asked for further time to
consider the situation, particularly as
it affecta Nebraska.
W. O. Ure, delegate to the last re
publican national convention, will not
hazard an opinion as to what revi
slon must he made In Nebraska poli
tics on account of the death of Presi
dent Harding.
Robert Smith Discusses Issues.
Robert Smith, clerk of the district
court and considered something of
a political oracle, stated his views as
follows:
"As I see It. had President Hard
Ing lived, Nebraska would have $lv
rn him her vote for renomlnatlon In
the 1924 national convention. Th<
farmer, laborer and capitalist know
fairly well what might have been
expected of another Harding admin
istration, and I believe the people

France and Germany Weary of
. Struggle, but Too Proud to Settle
Lloyd George Sees Historic Embers Smoldering
in Ruhr and Possibility of ^New Rhineland Re
public—Great Britain Not Blameless.
By DAVID LLOYD GEORGE.
Eondon, Aug. 11.—What a muddle
it all Is! France And Germany are
both anxious to settle, but too proud
to say' so. The struggle, therefore,
goes on, and will continue to the det
riment of both.
Belgium is sorry it ever entered
the Ruhr, but cannot get out of it.
Every time it tries to get away,
France pulls it back roughly by the
tail of its coat. So it has to do
sentry duty at Essen while its franc
is leading a wild life at home..
Italy has forgotten it ever sanc
tioned occupation, and its moral in
dignation is mounting, rapidly, al
though it has not yet risen to a
height which is visible across the
Alps.
Great Britain is growling futile
notes of dissatisfaction with every
body—France and Germany alike.
The confusion of tongues is deafening
and paralyzing, and no one is quite
happy except the spirit of mischief,
who is holding his sides with laughter.
He never had such a time—not since
the Tower of Babel. And this time it
may end in a second deluge.
The horror of the great war seems
to have unhinged the European mind.
Nations do not think normally. Blood
pressure is still very high. Excite
ment over the Ruhr does not improve
it. When some of the articles writ
ten and speeches delivered today come
to be reau by the diligent historian
a generation hence, he will recognize
the ravings of a continent whose men
tal equilibrium has been upset by a
great shock.
How Much Can Germany Payf
The real Issue Involved In all this
struggle is a comparatively simple
one. How much can Germany pay,
and how can she pay? America, Bri
tain, Italy and Germany are all
agreed that the only way to settle
that question is to appoint compe
tent experts to investigate and re
port upon it. The pope also has
blessed this obvious suggestion.
France, on the contrary, says it is a
question to be determined by guns
and generals—both equally well fit
ted for that task. Germany must
present its accounts to the mitrail
leuse and argue her case before the
soixante-qyinze. It is a mad world.
Everyone Is interested in one ques
tion—or perhaps two. How will It all
end, and how soon is that end com
ing? Although I have nothing to
fear from recalling the predictions of
my early articles on this subject, I
hesitate to hazard fresh forecasts.
But one may review the possibilities
and note the drift of the whirling
current. In assessing chances you
must begin with some knowledge of
the man who will decide the event. M.
Poincare is a man of undoubted abil
ity and patriotism, but he is also
h man who lives in a world of preju
dices so dense that they obscure
facts.

Scores Hurt in Rioting
By Universal Service.
Berlin, Aug. II.—At least 26 dead
and more than 100 wounded was the
toll of rioting in various parts of
Germany in the last 24 hours.
The most dramatic Incident oc
cured at Burkscheid. a town in the
vicinity of Aix-le-Chapelle. Hunger
driven crowds marched into the coun
try and began raiding farms, stealing
potatoes and mowing ripe grain in the
fields.
The farmers opened fire with shot
guns and rifles, killing 11 and wound
ing many others.
At Crefeld seven were killed and
43 wounded during the battle at
which communists took possession of
many factories. Four were killed
and 20 wounded in communist riots
at Ratlbor.
By tiwrlilnl Press.
Berlin, Aug. 11.—The strike wave,
caused by the currency scarcity and
the food shortage and accentuated by
communist agitation, gpread rapidly
in Germany today. It was accom
panied by numerous demonstrations
and disorders leading to a number of
fatalities in clashes with the police.
Meanwhile the Cum government
seems tottering to its fall.
The united socialists withdrew their
support in formal resolutions and the
retirement of the Cuno government
is momentarily expected.
The formation of a coalition gov
ernment by Dr. Gustav Stresemann.
of the peoples party, with the social
ists. peoples party, democrats and
centrists participating, appeared toj
lie a probability.
Berlin in Turmoil.
Industrial Berlin is ip a state of
feverish turmoil, fostered largely by
the failure of the employers to pay
because of their inability to obtain
currency and the demand of the
workers for wage increase*.
A grneiel strike has been ordered
by the comnmnitt element but the
labor federations so far have not ap
proved of the move.
Ftndlai conditions of unrest pre
vail ip other parts of Germany.
The ii.-orders in Berlin have been
unaccompanied, up tc the present,
by fatalities but In Crefeld four per
sons were killed and 30 wounded in
a clash with the police during food
demonstrations. Textile plants there
have been seized by demonstrators
