"My own state, Nebraska, has al- 1 readv recognized women in almost the 50-50 manner early reconnnend- i ed by Chairman Hays. "Since last August a woman has held the position of assistant secre i tar and director of publicity on the republican state central committee.

Mrs. Hays Flattered When Husband Calls Her Over Telephone Chicago Trtbune-Omahu !! Leased Wire. Chicago, June 11. Mrs. Will Hays is a hard woman to find. Even when discovered, In her room up toward the top of the Congress hotel, this wife of the biggest and littlest hustler in the republican party, could not see why any word from her in print would help the party nominate presidential candi dates. Mrs. Hays is not a politician, al though she doesn't deny that she is interested in politics, ihe admits that she came to the convention for the same reason that a minister's wife goes to church she likes to hear her husband talk. I have seen my husband atone only once since the convention start ed," she said. "That was night be fore last, when we went to dinner together. I was flattered today when he called me up on the phone and. talkod to me for 10 minutes. Mrs. Hays, like Will, is a booster. Will was educated at Wabash and after getting all there was out of college he went across the street from the campus and got his wife. She is the daughter of former Judge A. D. Thomas and her father's home was near the college campus. Report Bergdoll Is Captured at Hotel in Maryland Mountains Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Uniontown, Pa., June 11.

ADVERTISEMENT SAYS SHE NEW LEASE ON LIFE Topeka Woman Could Not Walk a Block Without Giv ing Out Before She Got Tanlac. "I could not walk one block with out giving out completely, but since taking Tanlac I believe I have a new lease on life," said Mrs. Julia Frost of 307 Adams street, Topeka, Kan., m a recent interview. "I was in miserable health due to stomach trouble and nervousness. I never wanted to eat anything and when I did force down a little some thing it was always hard for me to retain it. I fell off in weight until I was hardly more than a frame and I was so weak I could not even sweep the floor. I often had severe headaches and became so dizzy I would fall over if I wasn't careful. My nerves were shattered and it was a common thing for me to lie awake at night for hours. I had a hacking cough that worried me con stantly and I was simply troubled in one way or another all the time, and had that draggy, give-up feeling from morning till night. "A few weeks ago I started tak ing Tanlac. The first bottle didn't BRYAN OBJECTS TO REPUBLICAN LEAGUE PLANK Democratic Leader Thinks It Rivals the Famous Coat of Many Colors. By WILLIAM JENNINGS HKYAN. Written Expressly for International News J nervice. j (Copyright, 1920, by W. J. Bryan.) j Chicago, June 11. Oh, harmony, j what crimes have been committed in thy name. Harmony is the giant of the Philis tines in this convention and no David near with a pebble and sling. A thousand delegates, leaders in public life and not more than a hand ful who are willing to fight for their convictions in the face of opposition. One man tried to present a minority report on a number of economic Questions. Chairman Lodge had dif ficulty in compelling the crowd to listen he had to threaten to clear the galleries and then the dissenting committee could get no state to sec ond his demand for a roll call. The league of nations plank is one of the most perfect specimens of ar bitration in the way of compromise that can be found in all convention literature. Practically every dele gate accepts it with mental reserva tions. It is a mosiac, made up of sentences of all sizes and colors. Those who believe that our nation ought to lend its counsel to other na tions in the interest of universal peace can thunder for the approval of the first sentence: "The repub lican party stands for agreement among the nations to preserve the peace of the world." What Shall It Be? Could anything be more emphat ic? And what kind of an agreement shall it be? One like the president brought back from Paris vjth the approval of some 20 or more na tions? Never! Of this the platform says: "The covenant signed by the presi dent in Paris fails signally to ac complish this great purpose, and contains stipulations not only intol erable for independent people, but certain to produce injustice, hostil ity and controversy among nations, which it purposes to prevent." If not the covenant as brought back by the president, what about the covenant as amended by more than two-thirds of the republican senators? Even this is thrown into the discard with the president's cove nant at the demand of the irrccon cilables. But the platform says: "The senators performed their duty faithfully' even the 34 who voted for ratification with reserva tions. Evidently they were all right. They were complements of each other, although the language with which they described each other was not always compliment ary. And the platform proceeds to say: "We approve their conduct and honor their courage and fidel ity." Showed Fidelity. No matter what they did, it was honorable, and. above all, they were courageous. They showed their fi delity by fighting each other. Why did they not save some of their fi delity for this convention and fight here? Why did the lion and the lamb lie down together, the lamb on the inside? The convention is so inspired by the "honor, courage and fidelity" shown by its senators that it con cludes its platform by "pointing to its history and relying on its funda mental principles." It admits, nay, even declares, that the party has the "genius, courage and constructive ability to do the job." Suppose those who read the plat form happen to consult this story not ancient history, but about eight years old. What will they find? A convention much like this, managed by the same identical men, quite as proud of themselves then as they are now, and just as sure that they had a monopoly of "genius, courage and constructive ability." And yet only two states in the United States applauded the remarks. Forty-six states voted no on the roll call, leaving Utah and Vermont to certify to their genius, courage and con structive ability. But they laid their crowns at the feet of King Harmony and the leaders will proceed to play the clairvoyant act and tell how a great piece of good fortune is com ing to the republican party about the fourth of March. What will the senator have to say, who has been exposing the profiteers ADVERTISEMENT RECEIVED seem to do me much good and I had a mind to give it up, but I'm so glad I didn't, for if I had it would have been the mistake of my life. Right after I began taking the sec ond bottle I started improving and I have been getting better from that day to this. My appetite is just splendid now and it doesn't matter at all what I eat, for everything di gests properly. I am no longer troubled with headache or dizzy spells and that hacking cough has entirely disappeared. My nerves are so steady I can sleep eight or nine hours every night without waking up once. I have gained 12 pounds in weight and am so much stronger I can do all my housework with as much ease as I could years ago. Everyone of my friends are saying something about how well and strong I am looking and I always tell them Tanlac is the cause of it 41." Tanlac is sold in Omaha at all Sherman & McConnell Drug Com pany's stores, Harvard Pharmacy and West End Pharmacy. Also Forrest and Meany Drug Company in South Omaha and Benson Pharmacy, Benson, and the lead ing druggist in each city and town throughout the sta.te of Nebraska. Mary and Doug in New York While on Wedding Trip The noted film stars ohotographed on their arrival in New York on their honeymoon trip. Their marriage soon after Miss Pickford's di vorce has been threatened with annulment by the Nevada court, which has ordered an investigation. "Mary's" and "Doug's" proposed honey moon trip to Europe has been postponed indefinitely, they said, on ac count of business. They plan to stay in the metropolitan city for several weeks, after which they may return to California to continue their movie work. and demanding legislation that will protect producers and consumers from the greed of the middlemen? What answer will he make when the audience hurls that little 18-word anti-profiteering plank at him, and give him the horse laugh? But har mony demands acquiescence, aye, even the appearance of gratification. A story is told of a party of men who went out on a hunting trip. It was agreed that they would take turns cooking and to prevent com plaint, any persons who criticized the cooking would have to take his turn next. The first morning one of the party had trouble with his steak, and with some emphasis declared: "This is the toughest piece of steak I ever ate." And then remembering the rule, added: "but I like it." And colonel won't he be a little embarrassed when he reads the sol dier plank at a meeting of the legion? It is much easier to give the service men an "imperishable remembrance" apiece than a bonus. The soldiers asked for bread and re ceived a bouquet. It doesn't cost so much and isn't so hard to collect. I wonder how many of the war prof iteers would be willing to trade their newly made fortunes for an "imperishable remembrance?" The republican party started out quite bravely in the bonus matter, but it couldn't keep up its gait. A mer chant, who on retiring from business turned his store over to his son, ad vised him how to be popular with out expense to himself. "Subscribe to the building fund of every church proposed and then fight the loca tion." The republican party can't find a location for a soldiers' bonus. But the most pathetic situation is presented by the dodging of the pro hibition question. Read the plat form and see how gleeful the repub lican party is over the record of its senators and members of congress. With what "honor, courage and fi delity" they have done things great and small. See how proudly they assert the position of the republican party on other questions, big and little, and then" to think that they would run away from their most stu pendous act because a few ex-liquor dealers and some thirsty worshipers of the rum god made threats. Think of the homes that prohibi tion safeguards, of the lives it saves from ruin, of the jails it is emptying, of the crimes it is preventing. Think of the example we have set to those in other lands as we shake the strongholds of the demon alcohol with the testimony tnat our nation gives.- Committees Lay Plans for . Bluffs Horticultural Show Committees met in Council Bluffs yesterday to make arrangements for the Midwest Horticultural exposi tion to be held in the Bluffs audi torium from- November 15 to 20. The finance committee appropriated $20,000 for expenses. The state will furnish $8,000 of the sum and the remainder will be raised by ticket sales and concessions. R. S. Herrick of Ames is secretary of the exposition and had supervi sion of the committee conferences here yesterday. Other committees which met included premiums and rules, special premiums, housincr, decorations and floor plans, trans portation, storage and entertain ment National Guard Encampment May Be Held in Storm Lake Storm Lake, Ia., June 11. (Spe cial.) Prospects for Storm Lake getting the summer encampment of the Fourth regiment of the Iowa national guard are very good. Adj. Gen. Louis G. Lasher and Major Ut)ey were in conference with the commercial club and inspected proposed sites for the encampment and the rifle ranjre. A location has been offered on the lake shore just across from the town. The two of ficers seemed very much pleased with the location offered. The local company will probably camp with the Fourth regiment and there will also be a group of cavalry. Harding Denies Any Deal To Put Him on Ticket Coliseum, June 11. Senator Harding denies most emphatically that any proposition has been put up to him to run as vice president with Johnson. He says he is a sena tor and a candidate for president, "what more can I want." He says no such a thing was put up to him and he has made no such a proposi tion to any one Comment by "Tad" By TAD. Written Expressly for International News Servire. Chicago, June 11. Well, boys, 1 Kctl; tell it to you. I'm that dark lurse that they're all talking about. I'm dark. I'm so dark that the fire flics follow mc around in the day time. They're afraid of me. Paul Fe dinck told me today that Lowden and Wood are scared silly. I'm not making any speeches. Get me? But if I am elected I'll close up those drug stores, those sinks of iniquity, tighter than a Pullman winuow. There'll be no soda water for Bryan and his cohorts. Tad is Hooch Candidate. As I said before, I am the hooch candidate. As the congressman from somewhere 'aid, "Hooch has more enemies in public and more friends in private than any sub stance known to history." He said a trunkful and expressed himself. Prohibition is Uncle Sam's crown of thorns. It isn't right If Bryan and those birds think it is why don't they move to the Sahara desert or some of those joints? They won't have anything to worry about then. If I am elected on the king ticket I'll make cellar smellers wear Ore gon boots with bells on. Prohibition is Awful. Prohibition is an awful, thing. I am agin prohibition in Switzer land. Can you picture yourself stuck in the Alps? You know, stuck way up on the side of the moun tains in the snow and yelling for help? Can you picture a big St. Bernard coming up the mountain to wards you with a young keg, pulling the bung out and finding a nut sun dae in there? That's a picture no artist can paint. They'll see my wav before the week is up. Silk Hat Harry is pus syfooting for me and gets an earful every minute. There is buzzing around the lob bies about fudge Rummy. They know that I'm the idol, the Babe Ruth of politics. Is Sure a Slugger. People want to see a slugger. That's my middle name. I'm always slugging. The old parties are dead. They're dead from the neck up. A plank without reference to the wet issue is about as effective as a detective with a glass eye at a keyhole. They know it, but won't admit it. They look at John Barley Corn as they blow up and in the words of Pink Marsh say: "Mah goodness the town is full of strangers." I'm on the up and up. I want the old brew. I want the bock when that season comes around, too. If I am elected as I said before I think I mentioned it, I will stand with my foot on a keg and like Rhoderick Dhu in the Lady of the Lake, exclaim, 'Come on, come all, this bock shall fly from its firm base as soon as I.' "Well, 'here's looking at you.' " South Omaha Man Held in Bluffs on Federal Charge Jim Leeper, South Omaha team ster, is in the county jail in Council Bluffs charged with violation of the Mann act.

Ayr will come here to prosecute the case. Leeper is 43 years old and the woman only slightly younger. New York American Raises Price of Paper New York, June 11.

Bluffs Realtors Plan Bacon and Egg Picnic Members of the Council Bluffs real estate board and the employes of their offices will be guests of President Fay Smith and Wallace Benjamin at an outing and bacon and egg fry next Tuesday night. The place will be decided upon and announced Monday SHIPPERS ENTER STRONG PROTEST IN RATF HEARING Increased Rates Useless Until Labor Conditions Are Ad justed, Witnesos Tell Commerce Commission. Washington, June 11. Pacific coast and southwestern state railway commissioners today determinedly opposed before the Interstate Com merce commission the proposed in crease in freight rates. "You could increase rates over night, but it would avail nothing un less you adjusted the labor troubles," declared J. B. Campbell of Spokane, Wash., representing shippers and the state commissions of Washington, Montana, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada and Arizona. "If the terms of the new trans portation act are to be construed to mean that the carriers shall be granted increased rates every time and as often as they are able to show that their combined incomes do not amount to 6 per cent on the aggregate of their book values, then may the Lord help the shipping and consuming public!" ! ARMED WITH GUN, LAD STARTS OUT TO SHOOT INDIANS Wayne, Neb., Boy Writes Check to Continue Journey;. Police Interfere. The travels of Kenneth Ilutch ings, 13 years old, Wayne, Neb., ended last night in Omaha. Ken neth, equipped with a black leath er grip containing a .32 caliber re volver and some extra clothing, set out to conquer the world. Arriving at the Union station, he needed funds to continue his jour ney to Fort Worth, Tex. So he wrote a check for $13.50 to himself and signed it, "H. A. Moler," his stepfather's name. "I've got a stepfather, and he al ways beats me," said Kenneth. He tried to keep back tears, but never theless they continued to slowly roll down his cheeks. "You don't think I'd stand for that. Some Mexicans who are working down at Wayne told me I could get a job on a farm at Fort Worth." Kenneth confessed writing the check on the United States Notional bank. "It's mother's gun," he continued. "She didn't know I took it. It might come in handy if some bad Indians try to hurt me," he told the police. - Iowa Guernsey Breeders to Hold Conference and Sale Storm Lake, Ia., June 11. (Spe cial.) Albert L.
