FACTIONAL FIGHT
IN DELAWARE MAY
,v DEFEAT SUFFRAGE
. . -
Telegrams Urging Ratification
Pouring in on Governor
. and G.O. P. Chairman.
, t'hioago Trihane-Omaha Bee Leased Wire,
Washington, March 2. On the
rve of final victory in the long figh1:
for national woman suffrage,, ratifi
cation by the state legislature of
Delaware which convenes Monday,
is endangered by a factional fight
over the school code of the state,
and the redouble! efforts ot oppo
nents of suffrage in and out of Dela
ware, who are making a last desper
ate stand against ratification of the
national amendment.
Delaware, if the suffrage force
, finally win out. will be the .iOth state
' to ratify, since the Washington state
legislature is expected to ratify
'without delay.
up to date no state legislature
having a republican majority ha
failed to ratify the amendment, and
republican governors and stata and
, national committeemen from Massa-
" chus'etts to South Dakota have been
pouring telegrams into Delaware
; impartially to Governor Townsend,
and Daniel Layton, republican
..' state chairman. Both men are
ostensibly in favor of ratification of
'. the amendment, but in "spite of a
suffrage statement issued by Lay
ton, suffragists count him among
their enemies.
Senate One Vote Short.
Polls c.f the members of the leg-
' islature show at the best, one
vote short in the senate and
'; one more than required for
ratification in t lie house while the
suffrage poll, which is leaving noth
ing to rhance, shows three votes
Jacking in the senate and six short
in the house.
' "The 'antis are certainly ptittjng
up the fight of their lives," 6ne
national organizer reported to Miss
Alice Paul, chairman of the Na
tional Women's party.
, The uncertainty and alarm in re
publican circles lest Delaware, with
" a strong republican legislature,
should defeat the amendment by re
fusing the 36th ratification is evi
denced by the reports received at
-national suffrage headquarters here.
Attempt to Buy Back Goods
! t Sold to Sweden Since 1918
Chrisf ania,. Norway, March 20.
American representatives are trying
to repurchase dry goods and wear
ing apparel bought from the United
States from 1918 to 1920 for re-export
to the United States as the
prices of these commdities is 50
per cent lower than those prices
now prevailing in the American mar
kets. Immediately after the war
Norway was flooded with Ameri
can dry goods and wearing apparel
and Norwegian firms placed large
- orders in America for future deliv-
erv-
. r The , Norwegian embargo now in
force prohibits such export as de-
iiunded by the American representa
tives. Much of the American goods
bought bv Norwegian firms but not
shipped from the United States has
. been resold to the Americans there
as the high dollar rate prevents
its marketing here.
TEMPTATIONS OF
YOUNG MEN ARE
TOLDBYPASTOR
Deacons Act as Investigators
to Obtain Material for Ser-t
mon at North Presby
terian Church.
Pool rooms, public dance halls,
"third-rate" moving picture shows,
theaters, cigar stores and soft drink
establishments were denounced by
Rev. J. M. Wilson at the North
Presbyterian church last night in a
special sermon on "The Temptations
of a Young Man in Omaha."
Deacons of the church made the
investigations by personal visits to
many of these places and submitted
their findings to the pastor.
"The devil lurks in every enter
prise, stands on every corner. One
of my deacons visited the most rep
resentative pool rooms in Omaha,"
said the pastor. "He reported that
he found them reeking with tobacco
smoke, the floor foul with tobacco
juice, much profanity and vulgarity,
a good deal of betting and gambling
with dice. In the largest of these
he saw not over four men who
seemed to be over 21 years of age
in the whole crowd
Dances Escape Lightly.
"There are about 65 pool halls
in umana. so you can ugurc uic
amount of evil influence they are
constantly disseminating. (
The public dance halls are Daci,
according to reports made to m'e.
But they are supervised and are
as good a? could be expected, i am
told that the worst features of these
dance h?lls is not visible to the
eye. women dance wnn men oi
whom they know nothing and often
without being introduced or know
ing their names.
"Manv of the moving pictures arc
bad. One of the investigators re
ported that while many of the pic
tures are all richt. the majority
of those he has seen are 'off color.'
M-.ny Little Temptations.
"There are so many little tempta
tions that constantly tempt young
men in Omaha. They may be con
nected with automobiles, motor
cycles, rooming houses, chop suey
places, women's dress, the stage, the
double life, vulgar books, public
parks without police, cheap shows
and cheap literature.
Let young men especially beware
of wrong companions, both men and
women. In a woman friend they
should note whether she says or
does anything which their mothers
would not approve "
Next Sunday Rev. Mr. Wilson will
preach on "Temptations of a Young
Woman in Omaha.

Finds He Is Not a Citizen
Milbank, S. D.. March 21. (Spe
cial.) Joseph Hedman, who has
register of deeds of Grant county
for nearly four years, resigned the
position when he discovered, while
going through some old papers left

years old and supposed that his fa
ther had become a citizen, whereas

Judge Landis Condemns
Abolition of Bonus
To Federal Employes
Chicago, March 21. The scale of
wages received by federal employes
is the lowest paid by any employer
of labor in the country, and the
abolition of the $240 .a year bonus
is a "rank injustice," Federal Judge
Kenesav: M. Landis said at a meet
ing of postoffice clerks and feder
al employes.
"Any step that you can take
toward enlisting the sympathy of
the public in your interest for in
creased pay and the re-establishment
of the bonus are justified,"
said the judge.
"Get out of the public service
it you possioiy can tor as long as
you remain a federal employe you
will be served with every form of
injustice.
"I don't advocate making use of
the strike weapon, for that would
be ignoring the rights of the public.
Federal employes never have struck
and I don't believe they ever will.
"There are some gentlemen, and
I'm not criticising congress, who
think it is economy to keep the
wages of federal employes at the
lowest possible point. That's not
economy it's insanity."

Diminutive Calf is
Arousing Interest
Of Farmers at Ascot
A calf no larger than a spring
Iamb and easily lifted on the palm
of one's left hand is the possession
of Otto Hansen, a farmer, livinj.
near Ascot, 11 miles northwest of
Council Bluffs. The midget bovine
was born last -week. Its mother 's a
7-year-old Holstein cow of un
usually large size and the parent of
big beeves that have topped the
South Omaha market.
The tiny calf is perfectly formed,
healthy and lively' as a cricket. It
weighed only 12 pounds at birth
and is only about a foot high. The
little creature astonished the mothet
cow as much as it did the farmer
owner and she is lavishing the deep
est affection upon it. It is entir-ly
too diminutive to reach up for the
necessary supply of milk, and
Hansen and members of his family
have to lift if up whenever it wants
to nurse. Hansen says it has been
gaining about two pounds a day and
now weighs 20 pounds.

painted them in the dark and then

Heads' Plan.
Lincoln. March 21. (Special.)
Believing in the saying that "wise
men change their minds," Senator
W. J, Taylor of Custer county after
filing-for the state senate from the
Twenty-third district changed his
mind late Saturday and filed for
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor. Senator Taylor was not in
sympathy with the nonpartisan
league going into the republican
party and attempting to dictate the
republican nominations. He has been
one of the leading members of that
organization from the very start
and did not believe in that kind of a
program. Being popular with the
members of the league it will mean
that he will get a large vote from the
members of that organization.

LINCOLN DEMOS
OPPOSE CLARK
FOR GOVERNOR
Charge Attempt by Arthur
Mullen to Force "Wet"
Candidate on the
Party.
Lincoln, March 21. (Special.)
Leading democrats around Lincoln
are far fror: being pleased with the
filing of Ralph Clark of Stella as
a candidate for the democratic noni
ination for governor. They point to
the fact that George Jackson, for
mer speaker of thei house for two
sessions, held off from filing for a
long time when it was understood
that petitions were in circulation for
fnrmer Governor John II. Moore
head for the nomination. When it
was generally understood that the
former governor would not accept
the filings, at the i:rp,ent request of
,a large number ot his friends, he
filed for the nomination. Now at the
last moment Clark files,
Blame Arthur Mullen.
It is looked, upon by them as a
direct attempt on the part of Na
tional Committeeman Arthur Mullen
to force upon the nartv a wet candi
date in order to defeat the dry tend
ency democrats in the party. It is
known that Mullen was here at the
time Clark made his filing and it is
said that before coming here he was
in conference with the Hitchcock-
Mullen leaders in Omaha.
Mr. Jackson is very strong with
the rank and file irrespective of
their opinions on the prohibition
question, according to the leaders
here, and they are resenting in very
strong language the attempt to force
a W'et candidate upon the party
when there is no call for it. In
fact, some of them were saying to
day that no matter who the repub
licans nominate, if Clark is put over
by the wet crowd they will openly
support the republican, even if it
is McKelvie and his code bill, which
they are so bitter against.
Divided on Candidates.
With the opposition to the Mul
lenization of the democratic party
divided between George Jackson and
Grant Shnmway for the gubernato
rial nomination in that party, a.nd
with the strong attempt which is
being titade to line up the radical
wet elements of the party for Gov
ernor Kdwards of New Jersey and
Senator Hitchcock of this state for
the preference vote for president,
the wets are liable to poll a very
heavy vote and Clark is said to be
in line for it all.
