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.

of the state, his private secretary
and the editor of the Hartford
Courant. 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.
Donations made were as follows:

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.

' Officers Elected.
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.
