HAS BUSY DAY
IN WASHINGTON
Tired and Jaded But Radiant
In Spirits Senator Harding
Greets Callers and

Chlea.ro Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire.
Washington, June 14. Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio, the re
publican presidential nominee, spent
his first day in Washington follow
ing his return from Chicago in meet
ing callers of all sorts, conferring
with a few politicians, playing golf
and working over a mass of corre
spondence and office business which
confronted him.
The senator declined to comment
upon any national issues, reserving
that until he makes his speech ac
cepting the nomination. It is sup
posed this speech will be made at
Marion, O., the senator's home,
where, it is said, he will conduct a
"front lawn" campaign during the
summer.
Convention Tired Senator.
Despite the senator's powerful and
rugged physique, he looked a bit
jaded and tired when he appeared
at his office about 11 a. m. He was
'as affable and ccurteous as ever and
appeared radiant in spirit.
"Elder" Sims, one of the negro
barbers in the senate barber shop,
had just shaved the candidate.
"It did me good to see him," said
Senator Harding. "You know he's
the barber who says he prays for
me."
Whlie Senitor Harding spent
busy hours in greeting callers and
'trying in some fashion to connect
the tangled threads of his office
!work, it was plain to see that he
wished to reach the open air of the
Chevy Chase club golf links.
"I want to get out there and play
some of this tobacco smoke out of
;my system," he explained to news
paper men.
Swamped With Mail.
Tonight Senator Harding ex
pected to work until a late hour at
his home with his secretary, George
Christian, and the two stenograph
ers. Miss Nellie Mattern and Mrs.
Bruce Lamond. Multitudes of let
ters and telegrams, most of them
personal, but others involving busi
jness and demanding immediate at
tention, were waiting in his office
today. Various callers visited the
senator's office, including Senator
Fall of New Mexico, Representative
Rodenberg of Illinois, Senator Suth
erland of West Virginia, former Sen
ator Sutherland of Utah, Senator
Jones of Washington, Representa
tive Humphreys of Mississippi and
Senator Beckham of Kentucky, the
last two being democrats. It was
said that Senator Harding had no
appointment with Senator Hiram
Johnson, who was expected to ar
rive after midnight tonight, but that
the two might see each other tomor
row. While Senator Harding would not
talk about the vital questions for
publication, he chatted informally
with newspaper men and others
whom he had known intimately in
the senate for the last four or five
years. He appeared confident that
the republicans would win, but not
without making a fight for the presi
dency. Posses for Photographers.
j The ubiquitous "still" photograph
ers and movie men met Senator
Harding in great numbers on his
arrival at his office, and the candi
date was photographed in many
poses. The senator's office force,
had framed a becoming background,
part of which was American flags
and a large vase of roses and spring
flowers. Senator Harding wore a
gray, flannel summer suit and was
as immaculate as ever in his appear
ance. One of Senator Harding's charac
teristics is patience, and he displayed
; it when a representative of a
French society pressed him hard for
a direct declaration of his intentions
toward France, if he should be elect
ed president, the senator was loath
to lay down a foreign policy with
out consideration. In fact, he said
today that his administration, if it
came to pass, would not " go off
half-cocked on any subject." Finally,
he replied to the caller's persistence.
"Well, I will say this that if I
become president, the interests of
France will never suffer."

Dietrich has had the responsibility
of getting the League of Women
Voters on permanent basis.
Social Evening at Happy Hollow.
The "band stand" at Happy Hol
low held a notable gathering of
speakers last night when the League
of Women Voters met for a social
evening. The 250 diners sat at long,
gaily decorated tables on what is
usually the dance floor of the dub.
A cool breeze swept the pavilion,
which, combined with the brevity
and cleverness of speech, made for
a successful accosion.
From all over the country came
the celebrities who addressed the
banqueters of women and men.
Mrs. Charles Dietrich of Hastings
presided and Mayor Ed P. Smith of
Omaha extended a welcome. Other
sneakers were: Miss Delia Dortch
of Tennessee, Dr. Valeria Parker of
Connecticut, Mrs. Charles Gellhorn

Mrs. Maud Wood Park, chairman
of the National League of Women
Voters, in the principal address of
the morning, declared that the for
mation of the league was due to the
foresight of Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Catt.
Foresight of Mrs. Catt.
"This cause which has cost so
much to win must vindicate itself in
an organization which will teach
women intelligent citizenship," said
Mrs. Catt on the eve of the victory
of suffrage, and so the League of
Women Voters was started, de
clares Mrs. Park.
Mrs. Park answered the four great
questions which are always asked
of this organization.
Against Women's Party.
"First," she said, "we are not a
political party. We do not believe
in or sanction a woman's party.
"Second, we stand to foster good
citizenship, and promote good legis
lation, especially of interest to
women and children.
"Third, the body is not composed
only of suffragists we are glad to
say that many tormer anti-suffragists
have joined with us.
rourth, our relation to political
parties is an amicable one to teach
women to work together and have
more confidence in each other re

unique in national politics. After
1919, when they rs organized at a
dinner in New York, things lagged,
until a bright member with newspa
per experience thought of a "man
order campaign." A neat little fold
er was gotten up, containing the
platform o: the party, with support
ing argument, revolutions and meth
ods of political procedure. The aim
then merely was to arouse discus
sion and the program was tentative.
The last sheet on the pamphlet was
printed in the torm ot a return card
to the headquarters in New York,
with room for the new members
name, and on the back a space for
new addresses. It was a follow-up
campaign.
Follow-Up Campaign.
When a "prospect bit" in any com
munity he was enrolled and given
something to do for the cause. He
was told how to organize. The re
sult is state organizations in nearly
all states. The propaganda of the
committee has been placed, through
this method, in the hands of 3,00(5,-
000 voters, although the member
ship is about 100,000. The mem
bers pay what they will or can. C.
H. Ingersoll, the watch manufac
turer, and Amos Pinchot, for ex
ample pay more than the shoe clerk
or the laborer. But they all pay
something.
The convention will be made up
of delegates from each state, one for
each congressional district. Some
states are sending big delegations,
but they will only have their propor
tionate vote. A new platform wil
be adopted. The main issue that will
be presented will be the overthrow
of the "privileged interests," which
the committee literature says, have
seized hold of both old parties so
that it does not make much differ
ence which way the voter votes.
They lose anyway, according to this
view.
There was some agitation today
toward getting a "wet" plank in the
platform.

San Francisco, Tune 14. William
Harrison ("Jack") N. Dempsey.
heavyweight boxing champion of
the world, took the witness stand in
his own defense in his trial here on
charges of evading the selective
draft act. Dempsey denied charges
of nonsupport and cruelty made by
his former wife, Mrs. Maxine Demp
sey. Dempsey said he has been the
principal support of his familv from
the time he was 14 years old. Demp
sey said he had supported his wife
until she left him.
He denied that he had broken his
wife's jaw by a blow while they
were living at a hotel here, as she
had charged, "because she had not
earned any money for him." Demp
sey said that the jaw fracture was
caused by a fall.
Fights for Benefits.
Dempsey said his earnings in the
ring for 1917 were about $4,000. The
next year a large part of his time
was spent in patriotic benefits, out
of which, he said, besides traveling
expenses, he got "two wrist watches
and a gold pencil."
I wanted to do the country some
good," he said, in explanation of his
boxing for nothing.
tarlv in 1917. soon after his mar
riage, Dempsey said, he left his wife
in San Francisco while he went back
to Salt Lake to box. He returned
10 days later to find her cone, dis
covering her living with her brother
in an apartment house.
Boxing promoters then told him
he was worth "about 30 cents" to
them, because of remarks his wife
had made about his "laying down to
Flynn," the witness said. Soon after

answer his letters.
Dempsey told of his work as a
government recruiting agent for the
ship yards late in 1918, savins' he
"guessed he got three or four hun

Cross-examination failed to falter

committee, is the leading exponent
of this plan, which, if adopted, would
make the New York headquarters
subsidiary to Chicago. In any event
Chairman Hays intends to spend the
greater part of his time in Chicago,
giving special attention to the west
ern campaign. Friends of A. T.
Hert of Kentucky, who was western
manager of the Hughes campaign,
are actively working for his selec
tion for the same post this year.
Some members of the national com
mittee, however, favor the selection
of a prominent progressive republi
can or former bull mooser from
west of the Mississippi.
This matter, together with the ap
pointment of committees and cam
paign department heads, will be
taken up by Chairman Hays in New
York next week. Mrs. John C.
South of Kentucky has been asked
to head the woman's republican or
ganization. A woman will be ap
pointed vice chairman of the execu
tive committee, among those being
mentioned for the place being Mrs.
Medill McCormick and Mrs. Pratt
of New York.
S. O. S. From Home.
Mr. Hays put in several hours to
day supervising the arrangement of
the national committee headquarters,
which will take up the entire second
floor of the Auditorium hotel. He
left today for his home at Sullivan,
Ind., in response to an S. O. S. mes
sage from his family,
"Will Hays, jr., 4'i years o'iq,
has a new pony," said the chair
man, "and it appears that the
barn is not big enough to accommo
date said pony. I've got to get on
the job at once and have an addition
to the barn built."
The chairman will meet in Wash
ington shortly with Senator Harding
and the committee headed by A. T.
Hert, which will make the arrant
ments for the formal notification of
the candidate of his nomination.
Harry M. Daugherty, Harding's
primary campaign manager, will at
tend this conference, at which plans
for the canvass will be discussed, in
cluding the proposal that the sena
tor shall remain at his home in Mar
ion, O., during the campaign ex
cept for the delivery of half a dozen
major addresses in the big cities of
the country.
New Finance Committee.
A finance committee will be ap
pointed by Mr. Hays to raise ttit
several millions that will be re
quired to finance the campaign. The
committee will continue its policy of
decentralized financing, accepting no
contribution in excess of $1,000. The
work of the committee since 1918
has been financed in this way, one
fund of $58,000 having been raised
by contributions averaging $69.
It is Mr. Hays' view that the
campaign should be financed by the
mites of the vast mass of republi
can voters and he is continually
stressing the importance of the in
dividual's active participation in poli
tics. A man or woman, in his opin
ion, who desires republican success
at the polls sufficiently to vote the
republican ticket ought to be willing
to contribute to the campaign ex
pense, no matter how little.

ers had left Chicago tonight, Sena

deficiency for the fiscal year ending

Chairman Good said congress had
reduced estimates of government de
partments by $1,474,422,602, the total
appropriations in only two measures
exceeding the estimates. Congress
added $64,120,000 to the pension bill
and $70,861,000 to the postal bill.
The latter increase was to meet ad
vances in pay to postal employes
whlie the pension increase was ab
sorbed in part by increased pensions.

of the war and I cheerfully gave my
approval for the plan to turn New
York's vote to Lowden in increasing
volume on the second, third, fourth,
fifth, sixth and seventh ballots. I
cent word to the New York delega
tion that with me party success and
party honor came first. I also said
no personal interest should be con
sidered until party success and party
honor had been protected.
"It was .this New York vote for
Lowden taken from the 68 votes cast
for me that gave Lowden his lead
in the fifth ballot and that enabled
him substantially to equal the Wood
vote on the ballot following. When
after the seventh ballot it was clear
Lowden could not be nominated we
helped the drift toward Harding, and
on the ninth ballot became the de
cisive psychological factor by giv
ing Harding 66 votes.
"The few New York votes that
continued to support me were cast in
the pursuance of earnest requests
from delegates in Connecticut, New
Jersey, Michigan, Minnesota. Illi

California, Washington and Texas

nominate Senator Harding should
fail, my name might still remain

"The New Yorkers who care for
the republican party and for the suc
cess of its principles and who are
jealous of the honor should rejoice
and take satisfaction that their repre
sentatives in the republican national
convention, although by no means
unified in sentiment or in organiza
tion, were yet able to exert so com
manding an influence in a great
emergency.
Harding and Coolidge are first of
all patriotic Americans and next re
publicans. We are to have the satis
faction of supporting and electing a
real republican ticket. We may now
look forward with complete confi
