THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16. 1920. THIRD PARTIES ALREADY THICK; OTHERSTOGOME Bull Moosers Reborn at Din ner in Chicago Labor Or ganization Being Taken Most Seriously. CbJeaco Tribune-Omaha Bee. Leaed Wire. Chicago, June IS. Opposed to the selected candidates and selected platform of the republican party and the future selections of the democratic camp, are already four or five "third" parties, with several groups yet to be heard from. The ' Bull Moose progressives were re born Saturday night with a dinner at the Auditorium hotel, with 120 delegates from 27 states proposing a ticket, but are withholding judg ment until the democratic decision. The Committee of 48, with a mem bership of 100,000, is to hold a con vention here July 10 for the selec tion of national candidates; the so cialists already have nominated Eu gene V. Debs and Seymour Sted man; the single taxers are talking about a third party, and the labor party of the United States with its convention here July 11, 12 and 13 proposes to put a ticket and a plat form into the field. How strong any of these third parties may become is problemat ical, but the labor party is being taken the most seriously, inasmuch as it has been in the field for a long time, proposed tickets and a plat form months before the two big parties selected dates for their con ventions, and is moving along sol idly upon its own figurative feet. Dissatisfaction with the action of the republican convention is respon sible for proposed action by the former Bull Moosers, who want to protest against the defeat of Wood, Johnson and Hoover. The former Moosers hope to combine followers of all three candidates under one banner, possibly that of Hi Johnson and Senator William E. Borah, with William Randolph Hearst lurking in the background. The Committee of 48, believing, ! A At-T as it says, in a statement, issuea inis week, that the republican party muffed the big issues of the day, proposes a ticket and mentions fol lowers of Roosevelt, Johnson and La toilette as those who were ig nored. La Follette is flirting with the labor party, or the labor party is flirting with La Follette, just which is undetermined so far so is the Committee of 48. The labor party will not merge its identity in the committee, but invites the commit tee to come in with the labor party. The Bull Moosers are on the fence, now merging with no one. The single taxers are inclined to jump with the Committee of 48. And there you are. Says $2,500 of Lowden Fund Returned During Chicago Convention St. Louis, June 15. Nat Gold stein of St. Louis, delegate from the Eleventh Missouri district to the re publican national convention, said $2,500, which he bad received to further the candidaacy of Governor Lowden for the presidential nomi nation had been returned. Goldstein said he gave the $2,500 to a man close to L. L. Emerson, the Lowden campaign manager be fore leaving Chicago for St. Louis Friday night. He would not, how ever, identify the recipient of the money. Robert E. Moore of St. ouis, del egate from the Twelfth distiict, who also received $2,500 of the Lowden funds and who told the investigat ing committee tne money wouia De returned in the event Governor Lowden was not nominated, refused to say if this was true.

EAST OPPOSES PROPOSED DEEP WATERWAY PLAN New Yorker Says Western Farms Are Worn Out Western Towns Enthusi astic Over Project. Buffalo, N. Y., June 15. (Special Telegram.) The international joint commission completed its spring circuit of hearings on the St. Law rence deep waterway and power project. Obadiah Gardner, chair man, announced that the lommis sion will conduct further hearings in the fall, probably at Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, Mon treal and New York. The closing session resolved into a battle between the east and the west. The east opposing and the west favoring the waterway. Henry W. Hill, leader of the New York forces, said the soil of the west has run out and the country will soon have no cereals to expert. He said the Mississippi waterway now serves the middlewest "from 300 miles above St. Paul and from Mon tana." He said "no national benefit could be derived from the St. Law rence project as the Great Lakes basis is small in extent." He wound up New York's case with the asser tion that the New York barge canal could handle 20,000,000 tons, which, he said, "is twice as much as the west can ever dream of producing." Frank B. Niles, Toledo, answered the easterners. He said Toledo alone offered $100,000,000 for export by the St. Lawrence waterway. He said one single Ohio concern con templated 2,000,000 tons for imports bv the same route. He said a $150,- 000,000 plant is under construction in Toledo and a fleet of 3,000-ton ocean snips is projected to nanaie the output of that plant. In the west, we not onlv dream. We do things," Niles asserted. "The people of New York and Buffalo cannot be asked to know the pro ductive capacity of the west." Niles was cross-examined by the New Yorkers and he gave further information relative to the produc tivity of the western states that are demanding the bt. Lawrence im provement. Answering the New Yorkers' ac cusation that the project was a "Canadian canal," Chairman Gard ner said that in the hearings so far greater enthusiasm for the project had been in evidence in the United States than in Canada. State Senator Leonard W. Gibbs of Buffalo asked Gardner for the names of the Canadians who op posed the project, in order that they and New York might link forces. "I don't know of any Canadians who are opposing it; what I said was that the Americans are more en thusiastic," Gardner replied. Cancer Claimed Total Of 100,000 Victims m 1919, Physician Says New York, June 15. Medical ex perts estimates of the number of deaths from cancer in the United States in 1919 place the figure at 100,000 and the number of persons afflicted with the disease at present at 500.000. Dr. Frederick Dugdale of Boston, a vice president of the Allied Medical Assoication of Amer ica, declared at the organization's ninth annual convention here. Sufficient evidence has been gath ered, he said, to support the theory that the disease originates in a con stitutional or blood ailment, that the individual has within his body the predisposing causes of it and that it requires only, certain "exciting causes" to develop. Cure is pos sible, he said, if the exciting causes are removed and the predisposing factors properly treated. An emergency cross over railroad switch that can be installed without cutting or moving the rails of the mail tracks has been perfected by a Minnesota inventor.

They are all wets and want to see Senator Brandegee re turned to the senate in the Novem ber election. They realize that if the women of the state vote next fall, there will be no chance for Brandegee. In the senate he voted against prohibition and suffrage and nearly every progressive measure ever proposed. "Although we failed to influence the governor, the source of the op position was made clear to tne peo ple of the state, and we taught Con necticut geography. I was intro duced as coming from New Braska. I heard the curator of the museum at Yale ask Mrs. Perham if Mon tana was north of New Mexico, and one of our hosts, who appeared to be a very highly cultivated gentle man, asked the lady from Missis sippi, from what city of Mississippi she came. New Orleans?" Mrs. H. C. Sumney and Mrs. Frank Harrison, who were Mrs. Dietrich's vice presidents during her suffrage presidency, were warmly commended for their valuable as sistance. A meeting of the executive board of the Nebraska League of Women Voters was held at the Blackstone Tuesday evening. Five of the 10 members were present. Important j business was deferred until a meet ing which will be held in Lincoln next week. Raise Big Fund. "Where the treasure is. there the heart is also," says the Good Book. If that is true, many hearts are in the League of Woiiien Voters' work. In 10 minutes Tuesday, more than $1,200 was raised at the state con vention of the League of Women Voters. Nebraska's pledge of $800 to the national work of the leaeue has been raised except for $115. the money raised Tuesday will be used for state work.

So does Illinois. So will a majority of the delegates from many states. Look out for a surprise at San Francisco on this issue." McAdoo or Cox. Asked whom the democrats would nominate for president, Mr. Mack replied: "It looks like McAdoo or Cox. The nomination of Harding from the pivotal state of Ohio by the re publicans, all democrats who have been on the ground here concede, has strengthened the position of Governor Cox of Ohio at San Fran cisco. They believe that with Cox at the head of the ticket the de mocracy could beat Harding and Coohdge in Ohio. Cox is being aided also by the organization of anti-administration forces in the party for the purpose of wresting control of the convention forces from the Wilson wing of the party f possible. Lining up in this mob ilization of forces, besides cam paign managers for candidates out side the Wilson breastworks, are the United States senators who de serted Wilson on tne treaty issue. It will be their effort to minimize the treaty and league of nations as an ssue, subordinating it to domestic problems, but at the same time fight ing the intluence ot the interna tional bank group which will be at San Francisco, it is declared, with a stronger array of financial talent than appeared at the Chicago con vention, their object being to put over a league ot nations ratirica- tion plank in the democratic plat form. McAdoo Wheel Horse. Viewing the candidates, one demo crat looked upon McAdoo as the wheel horse for the administration nd bankine forces. If by chance McAdoo should not be the choice of the Wilsonian democracy, Bain bridge Colby, secretary of state, would be urged by the administra tion for president. Colby was re garded in the race because of the possibility that the democrats might win over some of the progressive republicans not satisfied with the nomination of Harding. Attorney General Palmer, visiting democrats said, was regarded as a half-and-half candidate, half on the adminis tration reservation and halt ort, in so faV as international questions were concerned, and inclined to be slipping off with regard to prohibi tion. Vice President Thomas R. Mar shall of Indiana still is being talked of for president by the anti-administration leaders, notwithstanding his insisting that he is not a candidate and reports from French Lick, Ind., last night that Tammany chieftains and Tom Taggart had failed to move the Hoosier statesman to ac cept their support. One thing was certain, it was said, and that was the development of a drive for Mar shall if anything should eliminate Cox from the running against Mc Adoo and the administration crowd.

Mrs. Charles Dietrich of Hastings, Neb., former president of the Ne braska Woman Suffrage association, was chosen chairman of the newly organized Nebraska League of J Women voters at the closing ses sion of the convention in Omaha last night. Mrs. E. S. Rood of Omaha was named vice chairman. Miss May Gund of Lincoln secretary, and Mrs. E. B. Penney of Fullerton treasurer. New District Directors. The six district directors who compose the remainder of the exe cutive board are: Miss Sar?h Muir, Lincoln, First district; Mrs. Charles W. Johannes, Omaha, Second dis trict; Mrs. Louise O. Thompson, Central City, Third district; Mrs. Irene Buell, Ashland, Fourth dis trict; Mrs. E. T. Riley, McCook, Fifth district; Miss Lucy Clarke, Chadron, Sixth district. The constitution was adopted as prepared by the committee, headed by Mrs. Z. T. Lindsey of Omaha. Article 3 reads: "The League as an organization shall have no politi cal party affiliations. Its officers and members, however, shall be free to join the party of their choice." Will Admit Men. Men will be admitted as associate members, the constitution provides. Three national chairman of stand ing committees of the league spoke during the day's meeting. All are experts in their work. Miss Delia Dortch of Nashville, Tenn., spoke on "Food Supply and Demand Pro gram, JJr. Valeria i'arker on so cial Hygiene," and Miss Mary Mc Dowell of Chicago on "Women in Industry." Dr. Parker declared that the League of Women Voters stood for a program of legislation, and asked that a group of laws be passed which, if carried into effect in every state in the union would do as much as law could do to abolish prostitution, illegitimacy and venereal disease, all enemies of the American home. Miss McDowell advocated a 44 hour week, an 8-hour day, one day of rest, and no night work for women. Must Protect Young. "Democracy cannot be built on weary mothers and anaemic chil dren," she declared. "We must pro tect the young girl in industry by strict labor regulations no young thing of from 15 to 21, has time to protect herself or do much think ing about the next generation." Mrs. George Gellhorn of St. Louis, sixth regional director, urged the establishment of permanent cit izenship schools, and correspon dence courses in the same subject. Mrs. H. C. Sumney, Omaha: Dr. Jennie Callfas, Omaha; Miss Edna Bullock, Lincoln; Mrs. C. G. Ryan, Grand Island, and Mrs. C. Vincent explained the Nebraska angle of these questions. The new executive board met last night for a short conference before disbanding. A dinner at the Blackstone was given at 6 p. m. to women members of Omaha newspa per staffs. File Protest Against Allowing Archbishop To Land in America Washington, June 15. Protest against admission to the United States of the Most Rev. Daniel J. Mannix, archbishop of Melbourne, has been filed with the State Depart ment by Marcellius Parsons of New York and several others, who, with the archbishop, were passen gers on the American steamer, Ven tura, which recently arrived at San Francisco. The protest which was referred by the State Department to the Bureau of Immigration was said by officials to declare that Archbishop Mannix refused to stand when the Ventura's band played the British and Ameri can national anthems in Honolulu harbor. Immigration officials refused to comment on the protest, beyond stating that it had been referred to them for investigation. The National Catholic Welfare council, in a statement today com menting on the protest, made pub lic a radio message sent by Arch bishop Mannix to Vicar General Ryan of San Francisco as con vincing proof of Archbishop Man nix's respect for the United States and for the United States flag.
