in Oil Suit

Los Angeles.
Tells of Talk With Fall
■ Uns Angelos, Oct. 22.*—Testimony
V Was started in the United Staten dis
trict court here today in the govern
ment suit to cancel the lease and
contracts of naval oil reserve prop
erties to the Pan American Petroleum
and Transport company, which E. U.
Doheny, controlling shareholder,
xalues at $100,000,000 and in the al
leged conspiracy for granting which
tlie government charges Doheny paid
$100,000 to Albert B. Fall, secretary
of the interior at that time.
Commander II. A. Stuart. U. S. N.,
formerly officer in charge of the
naval fuel oil reserves at Washing
ton, was the first witness called by
Owen J. Roberts, government prose
tutor. Roberts said that Commander
Stuart was placed on the witness
stand to prove that a disagreement
existed in the Navy department con
cerning these leasee; that the navy
officer had not been in accord with
the policy and was subsequently re
moved from office.
The taking of testimony was
preceded by offering of documentary
evidence, including the withdrawal
order of President Taft by which the
Elk Hills oil lands were withdrawn
frqm public entry; the executive or
der by President Harding in 1921 di
recting that administration of the
naval oil reserves be transferred to
the Department of the Interior from
the Navy department and other
documents bearing on the case.
In bringing out testimony to prove
there was a disagreement among
naval officials in the granting of the
proposed leases, Roberts asked
Stuart to relate his dealings with
Fall prior to the granting of the
leases to tlie Pan-American interests.
"Aftit was decided to make the
lease, Admiral Griffin and I went
to Secretary Fall and told him we
bad heard the United Midway was to
be given the lease on part of No. 1,”
Smart's testimony began.
“We objected to' this and said it
was rot necessary to drill wells. Fall
said he had already taken it up with
the president, and had met with his
approval. Fall said he would get
proof of the approval, but did not
until later. We left and went to the
navy building and were then sum
moned back and showed the approval
of the president. Shortly afterward
the leases were divide!.''

Coolidge Hopes
for a Nebraska
Victory Growing
Indications Show an Increase
in Favor for Republican
Presidential Can
didate.
By WILL M. MAl’PIN.
Hebron, Neb., Oct. 22.—It may be
that as one comes in from western
Nebraska towards the Missouri river
he meets with a different sort of
people. It may be that 10 days or
two weeks of mellow sunshine and
perfect weather have combined to put
people in a belter frame of mind. Or
it may be that efficient organization
w beginning to show its effects. But
whatever the reason, indications are
multiplying that Coolidge and Dawes
will sweep Nebraska on election day.
The comical squabble between self
constituted La Follette leaders, the
growing knowledge that the La Fol
lette candidacy is but the self ag
grandizement of the man, and the in
creasoing desire to refrain from rush
ing Into political dangers, uncharted
and unknown, have all combined to
foster the Coolidge sentiment and
lessen the sentiment in favor of the
Wisconsin man. To this may be add
ed the efficient work now being prose
cuted by the "get-nut the vote" cluba
organized in practically every com
munity of the state.
The one hope of the I.a Follette
managers has been the indifference
of the average voter. If 45 per cent
of the voters remain away from the
polls. La Follette would have a
chance. With every 1 per cent of In
crease over the vote of two year*
ago. the chances of La Follette will
diminish. A 75 or 80 per cent vote In
Nebraska on November 4 will mean
that Coolidge will carry the state by
an overwhelming majority, and Me
Mulien elected governor, together with
the entire republican state ticket. The
only hope Judge Thomas has to de
feat Senator Norris Is to hold the
entire democratic vote, and that ho
cannot do. The Norris majority will
he measured by the number of demo
crats who forsake their own party
candidate to vote for him.
It would not he surprising that If
we have a 75 or St) per cent vote in
Nebraska, La Fobette will be third
in the race.
It grows more positive with each
passing day that Governor Bryan is
a millstone about the neck of the
party in this state. However strong
he may have been as a candidate for
governor, It is agreed by even the
most enthusiastic democrats that he
presents and example of vaunting am
bition o'erleuping Itself as a candidate
for vice president and a possible In
cumbent of the White House. It is
not at all uncommon for a democrat
to admit this, and to further express
the opinion that W. J. Bryan is In
a sad predicament when tie attempts
to explain Ills caustic denunciation of
Davis during the convention. In a
frantic effort to advance the cause of
his brother.
r end imju'mib ai ■ tv ■■in
these days than ever before, but they
are growing more numerous. Now
and then one sees a few La Foliette
buttons in the crowds gaheered about
the purebred sire special, but Coolldge
hussons are much In evidence. Davis
buttons to date have been as scarce
as lien's teeth.
The gravest danger fronting Ne
braska now is the possibility that the
proposed constitutional amendment
will carry, because It is strongly sup
ported, but for the reason that com
paratively few realize what It means.
The tendency of the average voter
Is to either vote "yes" or not at all.
If the amendment carries it will be
by virtue of votes not cast. The
amendment proposes not only to
abolish the party circle, hut to abolish
party designation after the name of
practically every candidate on the
ticket. If it prevails the voters will
lie kept in ignorance of the principles
and policies of the candidates, thus
belli gcompclled to vote even mor<
blindly than now under ttie primary
law.
It is my judgment that republican
success |n Nebraska Is secured. That
assurance will lie made doubly sure
by a considerably increased vote on
November 4. Those who count Ne
braska in the La Foliette or doubtful
column should take a swing around
the circle. They may have been Justl
fled In that opinion 30 days ago, or
even 15 days ago. They are not Justi
fied In that opinion now. The only
hope flic democratic managers have
Is to trade with t>i Foliette men on
the governorship, and that is Just
what they are planning to do. Kven
that hope ts vain In view of the in
terest being aroused by the campaign
to make this the year of Nebraska's
big vote.

Twice in the history of the United States the election of a president
lias been decided by congress. Thomas Jefferson was so selected over
Aaron Burr at the time of his first term. John Quincy Adams was so
selected over Andrew Jackson. In both these instances, however, ttiere
was not the divided political complexion that now exists In both the
house of representatives and in the senate.
The present close division on parly lines and the fact that several of the
states, including Nebraska, have evenly divided congressional representa
tion, means that the selection of a president would he a long drawn out,
bitterly contested struggle. It would tie a struggle that would probably
last until the very end of the congressional session, March 3, midnight,
1923.
The contemplation of such a struggle with all the partisan bitterness that
would inevitably he a part of it should cause every voter to make sure
that his ballot counts In the election. With the uncertainty attendant
upon such a situation—with the possibility that In the house, no selection
could be made because of a deadlock and that in the senate Governor
Bryan might, through a coalition of democrats and the La Follette bloc,
be selected vice president and by default In the house, become president,
should cause every voter to make doubly sure.
Kvery indication points to a complete defeat for John W. Davis in the north
ern, eastern and western states. He will have the "solid south," however,
and therefore will receive the second highest vote In the electoral college.
This will he true notwithstanding the fact that La Follette may run
second in the popular vote. In Nebraska, Davis, from all Indications, will
run third. Therefore In this state the choice Is between Coolldge and
La Follette.- Indications at this time point to a victory for Coolidge, but
every Coolidge vote must be cast in order to make this outcome certain.
Keep in mind the fact that In the house the Nebraska delegation is equally
divided. Therefore if the choice of the president should be thrown into
congress Nebraska would have no vote. Votes in such a situation are
cast by states and with an evenly divided delegation it is not likely that
a republican congressman would vote for a democrat, nor that a demo
cratic congressman would vote for a republican. Surely this would not
happen until every available maneuver had been made, every possible
delay brought about.
The uncertainty, the doubt, the endless wrangles and the charges and
counter charges of such a struggle would Involve all business. A gen
eral stagnation is a probability. Remember, if Nebraska does not register
its choice for Coolidge in the election, then In the balloting in the house
our state may be without a vote.
The chances Involved in such a failure sre too great. Too much for Ne
braska hangs upon a clear-cut choice in the election. We have gone
through too much uncertainty, too much doubt to want a prolonged
struggle at Washington. Let 11s keep always In mind that we arc now
coming out of a long night of depression, that we are at the dawn of a
new prosperity. I-et ue make sure of that prosperity by voting for
Coolidge.

presidential candidate, carrying his
party’s campaign into the home

Ohio and Pennsylvania republicans,
to a continuance of his assault on
the La Kollette independent candi

demorVatic opposition, declaring: "I
know that I am speaking to a great

democrats, but there is no room for
anyone between the lines in this
fight for and against the present
form of this government and our
constitution."
The address here ended a day of
campaigning which took Dawes into
industrial Pittsburgh for a noon

that jammed the Harris theater and
overflowed to the nearby streets,
and to Washington, Pa., for a rear
platform speech
Leaving here tonight after his ad
dress, Dawes' itinerary takes him to

dow noon, and to Wilmington. Deb.
for an address tomorrow night.
