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

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.

OWNERS OFFER
APARTMENTS TO
THEIRJENANTS
Agree to Permit Renters to
Manage Property if They '
Will Promise 6 Per
Cent Returns.
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.
Even with the increased rentals,
which are being protested, it is im
possible to realize 6 per ceht on
rental property, they claimed.
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.
"I believe they would be satisfied
with a valuation fixed by the Real
Estate board." Kennedy sadi. He
added that Dan Gaines, controller
of the Portland, Uintah and other
apartments, said he would be
"tickled to death" to get 6 per cent
on his investment .afted deducting
expenses.
Kennedy said he had about 75
landlords on his list who would be
willing to enter into a similar agree
ment, among them being Ernest
Sweet of the Hamilton apartments.

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. The filing of the writ of man
damus yesterday is another attempt
by the opponents of the code law to
get the proposition before the peo
ple for a referendum in the coming
election. 1
