Bryan Boomed for President ( Consternation Among Demo cratic Foes in Nebraska —Might Compromise on Second Place Boosted by Easterners B.v P. C. POWELL. stuff Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, Sept. 22.—Four active presidential possibilities are under con sideration in Nebraska at this date. I'hey are: President Calvin Coolidge for I lie republican nomination. Senator Hiram Johnson for tiie republican nomination Henry Ford for the democratic nomination. Governor Charles W. Bryan for tiie democratic nomination for presi dent or vice president. l’he Coolidge boom was launched in Fremont several weeks ago by formation of a Cooiidge for president club. The Johnson boom was officially launched this week when John G. Maher of Lincoln announced that Johnson would he an active candidate in the presidential primaries. Maher received Johnson’s official sanction for this move several weeks ago when Maher met Johnson in Omaha as the 9 < ilifornian was on his waay west following his European trip. East Moves Brother Charley. . The real Ford boom was started by t uigressman Ashton C. Shallenbarger ■ >f Alma, who is reported to be active at this time selecting primary dele gates pledged to the Ford candidacy. The Bryan boom, strange ns It may -t om, has come from the east. Where in hangs the following story, as authentic as stories from the lips of politicians, can be: For years the perplexing question among the democratic medicine mix ers has been how to keep William Jennings Bryan In line with their plans. This ever present nightmare >s vividly partrayed by Joseph P. . umulty In his memoirs of the Wil a administration and the struggle the Wilsonites to get the support ■ William Jennings Bryan. ■Vow that the younger brother of iie three times candidate for presl nt with his big following has sprung uto the national limelight the word .ms been passed among the eastern "diticlans that William Jennings llryan can be kept in line If his li "iher is put on thi ticket as a vice president candidate. Helped By Edgar Howard. For several weeks this vice presl ntial bpom was the crown in the , oliti^al dreams of the ambitious Gov. Charles W. Bryan. He discussed men tion of his candidacy in eastern pub lications with avidity. Then two things happened: The -overnor launched his coal selling plan and won much advertising in the east. His old friend. Congress man Edgar Howard, began prancing up and down the breadth of the land inserting "nothing was too good for Charlie" and that he should be presi dent. The governor, it is known, agrees with the Columbus oongressman. It is possible that through the efforts of Congressman Howard and others an attempt will be made to elect dele . gates from Nebraska to the national convention instructed for Charles W. Bryan. Baffles Democratic Faction. Anti-Bryan leaders in Nebraska were willing to offer the vice presi dential nomination for support of William Jennings Bryan in order to get a clear field for their favorite in the presidential primaries. But his rise to the headline role really threat ens to precipitate a fight in demo cratic ranks in Nebraska. Putting "Brother Charlie” on as a vice presidential candidate might be galling, it Is felt, but political expedi ency could stand it. But to support him in the presidential primaries as a candidate for president against a time * tried eastern crony-gracious goodness, no! Nebraska U.

Marriage Not Slavery, Omahans Say Local Club Women Take Exception to Mrs. Belmont's Sweeping Statement and Declare That Girls Who Con sider Matried Life a Partnership Are Happily Wed. Omaha club women say- they (lo not a£ree with Mrs. Oliver II. P. Bel mont, New York city, in her state ment that "marriage is a sort of slavery, especially for the former busines girl." Mrs. Belmont, who is president of the national women's party, made this assertion while at tending the western states confer ence of the national women’s party and the equal rights memorial pageant at Colorado Springs last week. Mrs. II. J. Holmes, leader of the speech education department of the Omaha Woman's club and vice presi dent of the Omaha League of Women Voters, when asked If she thought a girl who had earned her money in the business world would feel like a slave if she married, said: "A girl need not be discontented when she is not supporting herself after marriage if she will realize that it is a partnership. She is doing her share in the daily work If she cares for the home and children. “It is only the girl who has earned money by hard work who appreciates the value of every dollar. She will make an ideal wife for she will be careful of her husband's money. After living within her certain income be fore marriage, the working girl will be able to do the same with money earned by thi husband. Only the ‘dolls’ who have never worked in their lives run up large charge accounts and throw money away.” It would be an unfortunate condi tion of affairs if every business woman refrained from marriage, for this class includes teachers, nurses and women in most every walk of life, said Mrs. W. B. Howard, president of Omaha Chautauqua circle. “My own experience ns a wage earner before marriage proves to mo that Mrs. Belmont's statement is In correct. I think 1 am a lietter wife and housekeeper by learning the value of money before marriage. “The attitude of the husband on financial problems of the home lias a great deal to do with making mar riage a success. A wonlan willing to do her share of managing the home need not feel that she is a slave. She is just, a partner in a serious business." A woman with brains who will make some financial adjustment at the time of marriage can lend an ideal life of marital happiness, is the opin ion of Mrs. B. M. Anderson, president of Major Isaac Sadler chapter of Daughters of the American Revolu tion. Co-Operation th the great necessity in marriage, according to Mrs. Samuel B. Hughes, prominent member of the Omahn College club. “Most girls of today work until the time of marriage, so where would the future race lie if they all avoided it on account of modern economic conditions?" asked Mrs. Hughes. Work is not the aim of every girl. I believe that in every normal girl's heart marriage is paramount."

Congressman Tells White House President Has Authority to Increase Duty 50 Per Cent, or 15 Cents Per Bushel for Grain, Minnesotan Says. IIy tniimiil N«*r»lc*. Washington, Sept. 22.—The agricul tural situation continued to occupy a major part of President Coolldge's attention today, several members of congress railing at the White Mouse to give the president their views on what should lip done for the wheat farmers In particular. Representative Anderson of Minne sota laid before the president a plan for immediate relief that need not wait on legislation, he said. Anrter son proposed that the flexible pro vision of the tariff law lie invoked to protect American wheat against Canadian competition and thereby In crease thp price and stabilize the mar ket. According to Anderson's calcula tions, the differential between Canadian and American wheat on the Minneapolis market is just about fsiillvalent to the 50 cents a bushel import duty now Imposed. The flexible tariff provision would give llie president the authority, on reeoiniiienrtiitlnn of the tariff com mission. to Increase thr duty as mueli as 50 per cent, or 15 cents a bushel. Tills Increase, lie believes, would tiring a i orrcspondlng in crease in the market price for American wheal. Anderson said it would not take 15 minutes to put this in effect if the tariff commission would approve It. As he left the White House, he said he was going Immediately before the tariff commission and urge a tariff raise. He said he did not favor on extra session nor any congressional action until there was a well defined program ready to submit. American wheat acreage, Anderson said, is now 13.000,000 acres greater than in the prewar period. The yield, taking Into account the increased do mastic consumption through increased population, represents a potential stir plus of 100,000.000 bushels. Until production Is reduced to domestic re qulrements, there is not much ho|s* of an improved market, he said. There can be no hope for any In creat'd foreign demand with Canads and the Argentine Increasing their output every year, he added. Anderson estimated that 05 per rent of the 13.000,000 added wheat acreage was transferred from corn That acreage, he said ran go hack to corn. In the far west, he said, the farmofa would turn the surplus whe.it acreage to sorghdtn anil other forage crops and take up cattle and hog raising an n pir I form of divan tflficution. Tears Fall as Osatos Say Adieu Throng of Friends al Station to Bid Godspeed to Omaha Victims of Japanese Earthquake. Playmate Embraces Sono “Goodby, Sono.” A smack of lips folowed, and lit tle Warner Matsuo, 4, Japanese American, bade Godspeed and fare well to his little playmate, Sono Osato, who with her mother, Mrs. Shoji Osato, both victims of the Japanese disaster, departed for Chi cago last night.

It was a tearful farewell as Mrs. Osato bade goodby to the large group of friends who accompanied her to the Union station. On Samp Train. "It was on this same train that I came to Omaha following the ter rible disaster,” said Mrs. Osato. ■'Then I was penniless and with barely enough clothes to cover the bodies of my little daughter and myself. My good friends here came to my rescue. I leave here filled with pleasant thoughts of many acts of kindness.” • The departure of Mrs. Osato and her daughter, Sono. for Chicago started her last lap to the home of her father, .1. W. Fitzpatrick, former well-known Omaha architect, from grief stricken and quake-torn Japan, where her husband and infant baby undoubtedly perished. Negro Mammy There. Mrs. osato and daughter escaped death after many narrow escapes and were placed aboard a ship with more titan 100 victims and brought to America. At the Union station to hid her farewell were several Japanese Amer ican families and other friends.

"Patrick Henry” is the title o£ this paper's float. Patrick Henry was one of the most ardent patriots in this country's history and one of the most fiery. It was. he who, when the colonists were hesitating whether to throw down the gauntlet to Eng land, declare I: "Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? As for me, give me liberty or give me daath.” In The Omaha Ree float Patrick Henry is shown on the floor of the convention In Richmond, called to consider what action Virginia should take on ratification of the newly written constitution of the United States. Henry was opposed to its ratifi cation in the form in which it stood, on the ground that it failed to pro tect properly the rights of states and individuals against the centralizer! power. He offered 10 amendments which j were finally adopted hy congress and I ratified hy the necessary number of states and became the first 10 amendments to the constitution of the United States. It is in presenting the first of these amendments that Patrick Henry In depicted in The Omaha Bee float. That is the amendment relating to freedom of religion, speech and the press. Jt reads as follows. “Congress shall make no law re jecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the frer* exercise there* or; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
