THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE : - MAY 18, 1919. Lincoln Bureau of The Omaha Bee DEMOS FAIL IN EFFORT TO SPLIT RANKS OFG. 0. P. Frank, Corrick, Back From Chicago Conference, .Pre , djcts United Front In Contests Soon. . ' Lincoln, May 17.-j-Governor Low " den of Illinois will probably have the solid support of that state for the re publican nomination for the presi dency, while in Indiana, Governor Goodrich and Jim Watson are hav ing a lively Contest for the same honors, with the chances favoring the governor at the present f ime, ac " cording to Frank P. Corrick, who has Just returned from the meeting held 4ri Chicago the first part tif the Week. ,"In Ohio," said Mr. Corrick, "it aODears that Senator Harding is go- , ing to have trouble with the' friends ' of General Wood, who, it seems, are determined to put up an aggressive campaign ' for the general in that state." ' .; In talking of the conference Mr. Corrick said to a Bee representative: "If skeptical republicans or inquisi tive democrats have any idea that republicans j are "going to be any ' thing else but solidly united in the next ; Presidential camnaiRn. they might, just Sas well get that out of. their minds. while the meeting : wfs composed mostly of what ; has v been termed "progressive ' republi cans,' the meeting had the hearty endorsement of the republican na tional c&mmi'Uee. .' " Allen Presides.". "The meeting was presided over by Gov. Henry J. Allen 'of Kansas., No set speeches were made, the sole ' purpose and dominating idea of the conference being to bring about hearty and harmonious co-operation of republicans throughout the coun try in securing "a: progressive plat form by the next republican national convention and the nomination of a candidate "whose record in public life, will fit in with such a platform. To accomplish this object a committee was appointed n which Governor! Allen is the chairman, to draw tip a tentative declaration of principles to be submitted to a 'meeting at some future time. j , . "On the question, of candidates," said Mr. Corrick, "no concerned ac tion is likely to be. taken, at" least not for the present There were friends of -General Woo'd, Senator Johnson, Governor Lowdeti'and Senatorenroot in the conference Each tnembeY of the conference is perfectly free to support in his o.wn state. 'the candidate of his choice. There ',$ likely to be co-operation of forces in some states, perhaps, JooJcing "toward a combination of' forces, but this matter is for future consideration;, Try for Split Mr. Corrick is of "the opinion that there is going to be. a strong effort in this stats as .well as other states to bring about a split, in the repub lican party in order that the demo crats may- gain- an advantage. He does not believe that the move will get anywhere.- He called attention to a couple tf interviews alleged to have been ad by himself with,a re porter for a democratic daily paper in Omaha, in which Mr. Corrick was said to have made statements which would look as if he, thought a split was coming. j The first interview alleged that - Corrick believed that the former : standpat element in the republican party was going to the bad. "No such statement was made," said Mr. Cornck, and when after the pubu : cation of the article I remonstrated with the reporter because of his mis restatement, he acknowledged that he might have been wrong and said he would correct it the next day. mow ever, he proceeded, instead of trying torcorrect it, to make further mis quotations, and r even referred to matters which were not touched upon at alt ' He said that I called upon Mr. Howell and other progres sive republicans, it is true that , called upon Mr. Howell, but I also called upon . Congressman Jefferis, Senator Saunders, Harry Byrne, Mr. Rosewater, Myron Learned and one or two others. The tivo latter were not n however. . f ""'X. Not a Candidate. - "I simply make this statement to show that the democrats are pot avers ; to misrepresenting condi tions in hopes to create trouble in the party. I he statement made that I was a candidate for chairman of Uhe republican state committee ' waS also wrong. I am not a can didate for that position or any oth er position in the party, i am sim J ply willing to do my part in keep ing up bur organization. I will serve where . the party believes I can do the most-good and I am not a candidate for that or any other position. My services, however, are at the disposal of the party in any capacity in ihich I believe the best interests'; of ' a harmonious and strong organization can be con tinued.". , Nebraska Man Given Up for .
