If m il Ml V: I ' ? - J: REPUBLICANS TO FIGHT CAMPAIGN IDEA OF HARDING Ohioans Strongly In Favor of Nominee Taking , Trip Through Western States Before Election. ASHLAND, NEBRASKA, ; July 2, 1920. The Committee of 21, Skinner Packing Company, Omaha, Nebraska. " Gentlemen: ' , With reference to your inquiry concerning my attitude towards the purposes of th "Committee of 21," I desire to stats that I am 'thoroughly convinced the ONLY way the plant can ever be a suc cess and fulfill the hopes and de sires of the stockholders who showed their approval of the original project by r-uttinsr their1 money into it( is to MOVE FOR WARD and exert every effort to resume packing operations at the earliest date. - I went to the stockholders' meeting June 26, " prejudiced gainst the continuation of the Skinner brothers as the heads of this magnificent institution. But, like Mr. E. E. Thayer of this city, who also attended, I became thor oughly convinced that the action taken by the stockholders at that time in voicing their confidence in Mr. Paul F. Skinner and for his continuation as the head of the great plant was the most sen sible conclusion that could be reached, if we (the stockholders) are ever to realize on this invest ment. Continual bickering over non essentials could only result in one end, the wrecking of the plant and its enforced sale to other packers, who would be only too glad to gobble this plant up on the auction block at probably less than 50 of its cost. The way is opening if the mis guided efforts of. Mr. Attorney General Davis can be speedily stopped towards fulfilling the best hopes and purposes of the Skinner Pa eking Company's friends in resuming packing op erations at the earliest date. With renewed assurance that I .am glad to be a "booster" in your able efforts, I am : Respectfully, ; ' W. E. C BECKER, Noted Actress Who Shoots Fellow Player by Accident By D. F. SULLIVAN. Chirac Tribunc-Omah Bm iMird Win. Chicago, July 8. xOhio repub licans yesterday let the republican national committee know they are opposed to the "front porch -campaign" idea for Senator Harding. They take the position that Senator Harding is not needed in his own state during the campaign and that they want the west and middle west to get a chance to know the Senator s well as they do. Therefore they hvor a "swing around the circle" or the candidate instead of the passive campaign that has been advocated in some quarters. ihey are not insistent upon their idea. They believe the national com tnijee, after all, is the proper judge of what kind of a campaign the sen ator shall make and they are willing to let it take the responsibility. Bm ?t the same time they want it tc , know what they think and how they view the situation. Leaders in Conftrmce. It was "Ohio day" at the re publican national headquarters, where Chairman Will Hays is interviewing the various state leaders and getting first-hand information regarding the situations in " the various states Harry M. Daugherty, who was Sen ator Harding's campaign manager, s.nd George H. Cook, chairman of the Ohio republican state committee, . I'eld a long conference with Mr Hays during the day. A, T. Hert, he Kentucky national committee man, and I. A. Caswell, the Minne ota national committeeman, also took up the situation in their states. Confident of Ohio. The first thing that the Ohio lead ers did was to assure Mr. Hays that the nomination of Governor C(x would not prevent the republicans carrying Ohio in the fall. "We haven't the slightest appre hension about Ohio." was the wav that , Chairman Cook of the stale committee put it. "Of course, tn give figures or to claim a (certain ma jority at this time would only be de ceptive, but I, believe that I knov the vote in the state pretty -well and I haven't the slightest fear that it will go democratic. The largest ele ment in the vote strength is con posed of the 500000 farmers, and they will be found, as usual, in the republican ranks." The Ohio leaders told Mr. Hays confidentially that until the primaries in August it would be impossible tc get an exact line on the state, as the nomination of certain candi dates for governor or senator might interfere in some way with the gen eral situation in the state. They clso assured him that Governor Cox had carried the state at the last two elections on what were largely personal issues and that he would not have the advantage this time that he has had on those occasions. The other time Governor Cox was elected was in 1912, when Scnr.tor Hardihtr was his opponent, but this was when the progressive party was tn the field and the Ohio leaders did not consider hat the Cox vic tory was significant as far as the present campaign was concerned.--Promises Kentucky. Committeeman Hert repeated to Chairman Hays the promises he has frequently made that Kentucky would be in the republican column on election day. i L. H. Stoddard, owner of the New York Evening Mail and one of the leaders of the progressives in the 1912 campaign, was in the city to assure the party leaders of the sup- ill 0 Miss Kitty Gordon, musical comedy star and vaudeville headliner, who shot and seriously wounded Joseph Albert Hack, a member of an acrobatic trio on the stage at the Palace Music hall, in Chicago. The shooting was entirely accidental, according to the police. The revolver was owned by Jack Wilson, star of another act, who has been playing on the same bills with Miss Gordon. At the close of Wilson's art, ac cording to the story from Chicago, Miss Gordon comes on the stage in a farcical curtain scene, and with Miss Vera Bercsford, Miss Gordon's daughter, and Jack Griffith, Mr. Wilson's partner, engage in a movie farce. In it Miss Gordon fires a pistol at Griffith. The act has been going on this way for two months, it is said. Blank cartridges have al ways been used in the act and it is a mystery to all concerned how a loaded cartridge was placed in the gun. Hack was shot while standing in the wings waiting his turn, to go on. His condition is said to be serious. port of. the followers of Theodore Koosevelt. The vanguard of the democratic forces returning to th,eir homes from the Si-n Francisco convention arrived in Chicago today. It was composed of Judge Samuel Seabury of New York and a group of eastern delegates who registered at the Blackstone hotel, remaining only a few hours between trains.' Those delegates were by no mean satisfied with the result of the con vention, regarding it as a blow t. the president and the progressive Adopt Distribution Plan For Harvest Laborers Fremont, Neb., July 8 (Special.)

Owners and rental agencies repre senting many of the finest apart ments and other rental properties in Omaha Thursday offered to turn the properties over to the tenants to operate if they would guarantee 6 per cent on the investment.

Alfred Kennedy, president of the Omaha Building Owners and Man agers association and head of the rental department . of the Peters Trust company, said a number of owners had told him they would be glad to turn their property over to the tenants for 6 per cent on a rea sonable valuation.

Opponents of Code Law Make One More v Effort For Referendum Vote Lincoln, Neb., July 8. (Special.) Hearing on an alternative writ of mandamus to compel Secretary of State Amsberry to go ahead with the code bill referendum will be held in the district court of Lan caster county Tuesday at 10 a. m. , Dexter T. Barrett obtained per mission yesterday in the district court to file the writ. The secre tary of state, on advice from the office of the attorney general, an nounced he would resist the writ. The state supreme court ruled June 29 that it is without jurisdic tion in the suit involving the refer endum. The lower court, whose de cision now stands, held the refer endum illegal because copies of the full text of the law had not been attached to the referendum peti tions.
