' Indianapolis, Jan. 9. (Special
Telegram.)-r-John G. Maher of Lin
coln, formerly chief disbursing of
ficer of the American expeditionary
forces, announced while on a busi
ness mission to Indianapolis that he
would leave the democratic party as
a result of president Wilson s. deter,
mined effort to have the league of
nations coveenant ratified without
reservations. .
Mr. Maher, who was a colonel in
the army, is president of the Old
Line Insurance company of Lincoln.
Prior to going overseas he was a
depot quartermaster at Omaha.
Wilson's Dogmatic Stand.
"If the democratic national con
vention ratifies the oresident's stand
on the league of nations," he said, "I
will leave the party. That is just a
nice way of putting it, for there is
little doubt but what the Democratic
bosses will endorse his dogmatic
stand."
Mr. Maher said that, he had long
been a foe of William Jennings
Bryan, but now feels that his propo
sition to compromise, with the ma
jority party in the senate on the
league reservation is just.
He said that he has been a life
long democrat and that his father
was one before him, hut the autoc
racy established by Wilson in Wash
ington is more than he can stand.
All Against League, '
"The great and overwhelming ma
jority of the men who served over
seas," he said, "are opposed to the
league covenant without proper res
ervations. If the question is left to a
vote, as proposed by the president,
Nebraska will give a majority of
50,000 in favor of reservations that
will safeguard American sovereignty.
The thipg to do is to ratify the pact
at once and get down to the con
sideration of the serious problems
confronting the American people
within our doors." ,
Pawnee Pioneer Dies

Woods Says Nebraska
Solid for Nomination
Of General Pershing
Washington, Jan. 9. (Special
Telegram.) Close upon the heels of
the democratic celebration of the
battle of New Orleans, Mark W.
Woods, Frank H. Wroods and
George A. Woods, a triumvirate of
Pershing boosters from Lincoln,
came to the national capital to as
certain for themselves whether there
was any sentiment in the east for
the great commander of the Amer
ican forces in the world war. Mark
Woods said that he was a business
man and not a politician, but be
lieving that General Pershing pos
sesses qualities of a very superior
kind that are imperatively needed
now, he had gone into the campaign
to help draft him for the presiden
tial nomination.
Mr. Woods said that his brothers
and himself had run over from New
York for the day and would return
there; that after several days in the
cast he had found a growing senti
ment for General Pershing, and it
was for the purpose of crystallizing
that sentiment into something tan
gible that he was making the trip.
"Nebraska will be for Pershing,"
said Mr. Woods. "Wherever he has
appeared the crowds rose to him.
Throughout our state his name is
first on the lips of our citizens and
in my judgment there will be such
a spontaneous demand for his nom
ination by June that the convention
cannot help but see the logic in his
nomination."
