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!

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."

Tariff Could Lift Wheat Price.
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.
Little Warner, dressed in a suit of
an Uncle Sam gob. tightly embraced
Sono, daughter of- his father's best
friend, now lying dead somewhere in
tiie ruins of fallen Tokio, as the con
ductor cried “All aboard!”
Tearful Farewell.
Harry Matsuo, father of Warner,
is a photographer at Twenty-fourth
and Lake streets. Mrs. Matsuo, an II
linois girl, said her husband and
Osato were business partners in To
kio many years ago.
“He was my best friend,” said
Matsuo.
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. The
saddest of them all was Mrs. Ida
Tinker, negro “mammy," who had
heen^verv close to the Osato family
before their departure for Japan.
"It's terrible, honey, but I am hop
ing everything will be all right,"
said Mrs. linker as she kissed Mrs.
Osato goodby.
To Make More.
Mrs. Baker said that she made
every piece of tho children's clothes
before the family went away.
“Now that quake burned up all
those fine rlothis," she sRld, "1 m go
ing to get busy and make a lot more
for Sono."
Mrs. Matsuo, who was with her
husband at the train, said that she
is a member of the well known War
ner family of Illinois.
"Wo named our first boy after my
family," she said. "He is a wonder
ful child and a real American.”
Another Japanese American family
at the train was Mr. nnd Mrs. Harry
Osfclmo, nnd two children. They also
were well acquainted with Osato.
Mrs. Osato said last night that she
did not know when she would re
turn to Omaha.

The Omaha Bee Pageant Float on “Freedom of the Press”
. - — ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■■ > — ■■■ -:i
Here is the float provided by The
Omaha Bee for the Pa trio tip Historic
America pageant which will move
through Omaha streets October 3.
"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."
