Harmony Prevails. . The county convention and the committee organization reflected the harmony which exists in Douglas county republicanism at this time! There are a few spirited expressions wnicn were easily ironed out when the mooted points were explained The convention. was attended by v women and si men and it was the first time in the history of this county of a political convention where men and women sat with equal privileges. One of the refine ments of the occasion was the ab sence of tobacco smoke. Anan Raymond was selected chairman of the convention and Mrs. Katherine Sumney servedas secre tary. Mr. Raymond announced that he would not inflict a keynote speech on the delegates. Mrs. E. G. Mc-Gilton,- M rs. James Richardsoji, Mrs. William Berry, Ray M. Cr6ssman, Amos Thomas and Allen Tukey were named a committee to nominate the 63 state convention delegates. While that committee was prepar ing its list James Walsh, Mrs. Smith and Robert Smith addressed the con vention briefly. Women Expect Full Franchise. Mrs. Smith d that the women confidently expect that they will re ceive the full rights of suffrage in time for the fall election. -Mr. Walsh referred to the women as the new recruit of the party. "This is the most representative republican .county convention ev;r held in Douglas county," Robert Smith said. "I believe thak the re publican party is the best instru ment at ha,nd for the carrying into effect the will of the American peo ple." -In calling the convention to order County Chairman Baker said he hoped that-the women would be le nient and not impose their numerical superiority. ' He urged the women voters to understand tne measures and persons for which they vote. "Parties are essential. I don'i like bolters," he said. "Be good re publicans and fight for your party, but don't lose all of your hair as I have done." ' One A the Seventh ward dele gates suggested that the list of 63 delegates as reported by the nomi nating committee had been "hand picked," but he was quickly con vinced that the list was a fair rep resentation of all of the wards and the country districts. Ure Unanimously Chosen. . The call for the meeting of the new county central committee was ,ni a de by Chairman Baker as soon as the county convention adjourned.? M. Pinkett, Augusta M. Berry, Regular Habits Produce a Beautfiul Complexion Daily elimination rids the system of poisons. Women should realize that! MANY women complain daily of their complexion, of their headaches and gen eral ill health, little realizing that the trouble is constipation. Women, too, are much more subr ject to such congestion than men, and much more careless of it. The result is seen in lusterless, weary eyes, in sallowi pimply complexion, in lassitude, bad' breath, and in that word so -often used, "indisposed." At the first sign of these symp toms the wise woman will take a laxative, and will see that the young girl and others in her care do likewise. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the favorite with thou sands of women because it is mild and gentle in its action and in the end trains the stomach and bowel muscles to do their work naturally without the aid of medicine. (.'This combination of simple lax ative herbs with pepsin, which can be bought at any drug store, is also a very sterling first-aid in colds, fevers and other suddevills that make it advisable to always have a bottle in the home. It is free from narcotics and safe for the tiniest baby. in spite of the fact that Dr. Cali well's Syrup Pepsin is the largest selling liquid laxative "in the world, there being over 6 million bottles sold each year, many who need its benefits have not yet used it. If you have not, send your name and address for a free trial bottle to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 511 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois. He urged every member of the new county committee to work loyally for the success of the, party and he charged them with the responsibili ties which will devolve upon them. He called for nominations for the new county chairman wnereupon Mrs. June B. Twamley nominated W. G. Ure and F. ,L. Bugbee nomi nated Tom Hollister, who declined to allow his name to be considered. John W. Robbins, nominee for state senator, announced that the candi dates, at a meeting last week ,en dowjed Mr. Ure and Chairman Ba ker stated that he believed that the selection of Mr. Ure would be a wise one. l.he election ot Mr. ure men followed with an unanimous expres sion, r Mrs. Draper Smith, chairman of the republican woman's committee, was named as vice chairman of the new central committee. In accepting the gavel from Ben S. Baker, the retiring chairman, Mr. JJre, said: "We" are to be congratulated upon the fact that the world do move, for today we have before us men and wonjen together in a county convention, We are to be congrat ulated on having these Women re cruits with us and we will expect a good deal from them. We want politics and the right kind of poli tics. I have learned that I can trust the word of the average poli tician as much as I can that of the average business man. Th$s central commrttee is going to support the whole republican ticket and we-afeJ going to elect the entire ticket. Our party has spoken and we will sup ports its ttcket trom top to bottom. 1 he new county chairman en dorsed the code bill, which he com mended to all voters. Women on the Inside. , Mrs. Smith, th.e new county vice chairman, accepted her honor with these words: , "I see Douglas county women to day for the first time officially on the inside of politics. We are all well content to be here becawse of r great desire to serve our coun- try." She stated that Nebraska has enough law for the protection of domestic animals and asserted) that the women are going to see that there are more welfare laws for the human race. Under the new law, the county central committee is entitled to one and one woman from each of 168 voting precincts of the county.

Wednesday, 9 a. m. SUIT SECTION SECOND FLOOR HAZEN ASKS FOR CUSTODY OF HIS THREE CHILDREN Father's . Motion in District Court Sequel to Mother's Breach of Promise Suit . ' ' For $25,000. George E. "Hazen yesterday filed a motion in district court asking custody of three small children of himself and his former wife. Marie C. Haen. The children are 7, 5 and 3 years old and are at present with their mother at 1-170 Emmet street. Day before yesterday Mrs. Hazen sued her ex-husband for breach of promise of marriage and asked damages of $25,000. . .- ' ' They, were married eight years ago; she secured a divorce two years ago and a modification of that decree, giving her $85 a month for tne support ot the , childreii. a year ago. The first of tliis year Mr, and Mrs. Hazen began friendly relations again and she stated in her breach of promise suit he proposed that they remarry. She" accepted, she said, but at the appointed time he refused to marry her. In Mr. Hazen's petition asking custody of the children and a re duction in the alimony payment, he says his former wife is "not a fit per son to' have the children," alleging that she has been moving from place to place and that she has not kept the children in school, has left them alone at times and allowed them to "run at large." He says they have been neglected.. Unless he gets them, he says, they will soon refuse to recognize him as their father. , Mrs. Hazen told yesteday of an altercation she and another woman in the affair had at the Rome Hotel two- weeks ago. She said she slapped the other woman. Hazen denies Mrs. Hazen's allegation that he has "allowed himself to become interested in an old attachment." He charges their troubles to "too much mother-in-law." In New York state the average of factory workers' earnings for March, 920, was 26 per cent mor? than in March, 1919.
