2 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 11, 1920. HARDING GIVEN LOTS OF ADVICE ABOUUPEECH Senator Lodge to Deliver No tification Address July. 22 Wet and Dry Issue v Discussed. By PHILIP KINSLEY. 1 hlrac Trlboii-Oniahs Bra Lewd Wire. Marion, O., July 10. Plans for notificatiop day, the wet and dry issue and the gathering of-the old Roosevelt following under the 1920 lepublican banner were topics dis cussed by Senator Warren G. Hard ing today with various callers. He is getting plenty of advice as to what to say in his speech accepting the republican presidential nomination, but he is indicating little as to how Diuch of the advice he will accept Senator Henry Cabot Lodge will deliver the notification speech at thj Garfield park ceremonies. July 22, it was announced today after a visit by Gen. T. Coleman Du Pont, chair nan, of the special committee, and Harry M. Daugherty, member of the national executive committee. J. Frank Hanley, former govern or of Indiana and prohibition party candidate for president in 191G, brought this question to the Harding front porch today. He spent an xhour in talk with the senator and when he came out announced that he hoped to be able to support the republican ticket, that he was wait ing for the speech of acceptance and that he did not see how prohibition ists could support Co?. Talked Matter Over. ' I have talked the situation over with Senator Harding and have giv en, my views," said Mr. Hanley. "I talked to him in regard to the silence of' the democratic and republican platforms in regard, to the 18th amendment and the Volstead act and itSj enforcement. I did not ask him fcr committments; he made none. "I do not think .the prohibition party should nominate a candidate for president this year. They will laid a convention in Lincoln on July 21. In view of the amendment and the sustaining of the law by the supreme court, the matter resolves itself, on the question. of maintenance of , the law and . must largely be fiught out in congressional .dis- tricts." The great fight of the campaign, it is believed here, will be made in the east, in such states as New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Connecticut, Indi ana and few of the border states, on the wet side. The democrats pin tfieir hopes of victory on the vote in the" big cities and in the hidustrial centers. The state leaders of the party, such as Iurphy. Nugent, Taggart and Brennan, will build up a string of semi-Tammany organi zations across the country and fight along these lines. The west, accord ing to this view of the situation, has been abandoned to the drys. with the possible exception of California. ' ' Fight in Kentucky. . ' i. Kentucky, which MriHert has,';soJ often promised ' to the republicans, would ' bdCQtne heavy fighting ground under this plan of catppaign. Missouri would form another war center, i It is thought that the state leaders' who are in a fair way to gain control 'of the democratic or ganization " will get rid of Wilson and his administration just as soon as they dare. , The drift of progressive repub lican' sentimqnt toward Harding was further borne out today by the vUil of Henry L. Stoddard of New York. After talking with the senator he said: "I have taken pains to get in touch with progressive leaders and I talk from real information when I say that the progressive vote of 1912 is more solidly and enthusias tically behind Harding than it was back of Hughes. The senator will carry New York by 200,000. In my opinion there is no doubt of New Jersey and Connecticut." Gen. Du Pont and Mr. Daugher ty would not discuss politics. They were accompanied by W. L. Henley, personal representative of Chair man Hays Reaching here early in the morning, they went to the Mar ion club for breakfast, but found no one present around the kitchen. Gen. Du Font announced thaf he was a good chef and he proceeded to fry eggs and nake toast and coffee. He brought it in on a tray and served the lawyer and the news paper man. After a visit to the park and a talk with Senator Harding this pro gram was given out for the July 22 notification: Program of notification: Will Hays, chairman, republican national committee, president.

No Hopes for Army "' Bonus Next Winter Continued from One. - j. abled'and infirm and their depend ents has ever marked republican pol icy toward the soldier and sailor of all ttie wars in which our country has participated." ; The plank cites the fact that con gress has already appropriated, liber ally for the disabled of the world war, the total for this purpose for the fiscal year' of " 1920-21 " having reached the stupendous sum of $1, 180.571.893. Concluding the republican plat form says: "This legislation is sig nificant af the party's purpose in generously caring for the maimed and disabled men of the recent war." The democratic platform is along similar lines, but it is even stronger in its implication that the expendi ture of money only for the care of the disabled and needy is justified at this time. ; ,' Democratic Platform. The democraticplatform says: "The government should treat with the utmost'eonsideration every dis abled soldier, ' sailor or marine, whether his disability is due to wounds or to health impaired in service; and for the dependents of the brave men who die, the govern ment's greatest concern and rich est bounty should be their requit al. Their fine patriotism, the hero'c conduct of American soldiers, sailors and marines constitute a sacred heri tage of posterity, the . worth . of which can never be recompensed from the treasury." The effect of both the republican and democratic platform is to repu diate the policies of the party lead ers in the house. The republican caucus in the house went on record for bonus legislation, and . Repub lican Leader Mondell, although ; at first opposed to the bill, yet abided by the will of the. majoTity and urged its passage. Even, the demo cratic leaders in th house supported bonus legislation. They differed with the republicans onbin the manner of raising the necessary funds.- The democrats, led by Representative Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, . con tend that instead of . various forms of taxation proposed, in the repub lican bill a tax should be levied on war profits. The action of the party conventions both at. Chicago and San Francisco-appears to' have been a vindication for the minority among house members of both parties. - ' . . , Hold Informal Reception. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lapidus will entertain their friends at an informal reception today from 2 to 4 p..m. and 8 to 10 p. m. at their home, 2205 Hanscom boulevard, in honor of their;son Lester, who was-confirmed Saturday at Beth Hamodres rHago del synagague. COSTdFYAHTO EUROPEANS WAS HUNDRED BILLION This Is Represented by Prop erty Destroyed, Losses In Investment and Other Nu merous Causes. 'London, July 10. The Actual cost of the war to European belligerents was in excess of 20,000,000,000, represented by, property destroyed, losses in investments abroad, de preciation of . properties, and by pen sions, Edgar Crammond, English financier, t0'd tne Bankers' institute at a recent meeting here. He fixed the following as the real losses of the European belligerents: Germanw, 8,700.000.000; France, 6,250.000.000; The United King-, dom, 5,200,000,000:. Italy. 2,100, 000,000; Belgium, 550,000,000. Two Countries Prosperous. To only two belligerent countries the United States and Japan did the war bring prosperity, Mr. Crim mond said, but Spain, Holland, Switzerland, Greece . and Scandi navia, also had grown wealthier. He believed the "liquid capital of the world, now distributed in centers which are unaccustomed to the ex ercise of their new powers." would eventually again find its chief outlet through London. "The war has produced an extraor dinary change it the economic re lations of the CUnited States with Europe," he said. "Whereas, in 1914 America, owed Europe 2,000, 000,000, at present Europe owes America 2,000,000,000." National Wealth Boosted. Assuming that the postwar pur chasing rJower of the dollar was 70 per cent of -its pre-war value Mr. Crammond said during the past five years there had been an actual in crease in the nationaPwealth .of the United States of approximately 30 per cent, and he estimated this wealth now in the neighborhood of 70,000,000.000 to ' 80,000,000,0(10. The national wealth of Japan, he estimated, had been doubled by the war. On the basis of a. post-war mark valued at 50 per cent of its pre-war value he estimated Germany has lost, apart fram the indemnity, 26 Det' cent of her national wealth, the whole of her mercantile marine, alf her colonial possessions and prac tically the whole oi her investments abroad. If the figures suggested at the Hy the conference, 6,250,000, 000, were fixed as the German war i i.

Not Going Concern:. "So far as the, world as a whole is concerned theiprincipal loss is in the fact that Europe is not yet 'a going concern,'" he continued, "but the underlying economic forces which made her the great center of the world's commercial activities are still at work and will rapidly transform the economic situation in Europe." v , - He said the doipinant character istic of international trade in the next 10 years will be a tremendous world demand for capital, and the internal- financial policies of the na tions should be framed with due re gard to tins condition. i Circus Days Bringing Modern Elephant That Dances the Shimmy' Circus days are ''coming, then the crack of the ringmaster's whip, the growliugs of the jungle beasts, trumpeting ot elephants and jibes of clowns will blend into the summer medley, and Omaha will welcome John Robinson's circus, which will arrive Monday, July 12, for one day on the show grounds at 21st and Paul streets. There are elephants that walk on their hind legs' and one that does the "shimmy." There is an ape that does the "flip-flop" on horseback and Simians that will do other stunts as marvelous on the backs of Shet land ponies. The flying Nelson family and others defy death to entertain, and others do stunts on horses and walk on tight and slack wires as easily as perform on the ground. Not a thing will be lacking, and supplementary to ..the circus there will be the usual freaks in the side shows the midgets, fat woman, giants, wild men and a large menagerie. Fur Flies at Meeting Of Committee of 48 Continued from race On. gether in one great body and pre sent such a challenge to the auto cracy of America, tlmt this move ment will go down in history." Delegates proceeded to the elec tion of standing committees and some debate developed over the method of selecting members of the conference committee.. A motion was made from the -floor directing the conference committee to deal with the American constitutional party in its efforts, which was the first mention of this organization in the proceedings. Chairman Chris tianson ruled that this was unneces sary, since the committee would consider all groups anyhow. Committees on platform and polit ical procedure were instructed to meet at 8:30 p. m., but the conven tion itself adjourned business ses sions until 9 a. m. Monday. It agreed, however, to listen to speeches in an informal evening ses sion. The chairman was authorized to' appoint a subcommittee of five to confer with representatives of the Nonpartisan league. Senator Robert M. LaFollettc of Wisconsin, who won in a mail ref-, erendiim taken by the party to de termine the most popular candidate for the party's presidential nomina tion, appeared to have no opposition. Nearly every one of the S00 or 600 delegates wore a LaFollette badge. Start Wis Delayed. The convention was delayed over an hour in starting by conferences between representatives of the com mittee, labor party, Nonpartisan league, single tax party, triple al liance of the northwest and several other organizations which are flirt ing with the third party combine. Each group came to Chicago with some pet plank for the third party platform and. the task of continuing all elements 'in a satisfactory fusion proves complicated. I Before adjourning to attend the conference of the committee of 48, the single tax delegates took a f definite stand as to the grounds' upon which they could fuse with the new group. These include an "unequivocal and bitter end" stand against "so cialistic and paternalistic policies. Demand Single Tax. They also instructed their steer ing committee to demand per emptorily the inclusion of a single tax in the event of fusion. Single tax delegates advocates also mad an attempt to combine with the national labor party, which opens its national convention to morrow. While the leaders conferred in committee rooms members of sev eral of the groups, equipped with soap box platforms and temporary tebles, set up shop in the corridors to expound their platform planks. In the convention hall a band played the national emblem march and a patriotic medley, white work men completed the last minute touches on the hall by draping an American flag from the speakers' stand. f 1 Display American Flag. Above the speakers' stand an American flag done in electric lights was turned on as J. A. H. Hopkins, national chairman of the committee of 48, hopped ' onto the platform. He was greeted by three cheers and the band then played while the Nonpartisan league representatives assisted the Wisconsin delegates in singing "On Wisconsin." Hopkins told the delegates in opening the convention that they were "here to strike the shackles o'f slavery apart," and declared tlreirl opportunity is now. "The essential job is to unite our forces behind a common progran and a common candidate," he said, and the convention broke into its first demonstration which was re newed again when Hopkins added: "But we do not depend upon any single candidate." ' ', . Palmer in Disrepute. . "We do not necessarily believe in a third party," MqCurdy said, in his address, "but we. deny that the republican and democratic parties represent a two-party majority." McCurdy drew prolonged applause when he declared there was a large dirTfTcnce between the deeds and acts of the present administration. He added that "such things only give us strength," and urged the delegates to take advantage ot tne Dresent hour's onnnrtnnifv to hreale "the bondage of economic priv ilege." Mention of the name of Attorney General Palmer drew hisses and booes fro mevery direction. When the speaker describes the present head of the Department of Justice as "a persecutor and not a prosecu tor," he was loudly cheered. lit added: ' any reservations whatever, the xiati fj of the injunction in labor cases." fj At the conclusion of McCurdy'sT of some length, which ended with a march around the hall by the sin gle tax group. -a Friends of Sick Farmer Cut and Shock His Wheat Beatrice Neb., July 10.-r-(Spe-cial.)
