THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1920. THIRD PARTY IS NOTHING NEW IN POLITICAL LINE Three or More Have Had Candidates in Field Nearly Every Campaign in History. by fc. C. SNYDER. M'aahlncton Correapandaat, Omaha B. Washington, D. G, July 13. (Special Telegram.) Correspond ents "covering" the convention of 48erj and other radical groups now trying to get together in the forma tion of a third party at Chicago are sending to their eastern news papers reports of what the new party is going to do to the repub lican party in the west if like har mony prevails, as the result of their deliberations. And yet these same correspondents are forgetful of the history of political parties in the United States, for there has hardly been a presidential candidate since the foundation of the government where three or more parties have not had candidates for president ond vice-president, and for repre sentatives in congress. There were six political parties with six prcsidemial candidates in the field in 1916, republican, demo cratic, progressive, prohibition. o cialist and social labor, but the con test was between the republicans and democrats. That was not an unusual campaign. In the 40s there were anti-Masonic and anti-Catholic parties, in 1856 the American party was in the field to weaken the re publican ticket, and that party elected 25 representatives to the house, giving it the balance of power and producing the longest contest over the election of speaker we ever had. The contest contin ued for two mcuiths, delaying the organization of the house, and final ly resulted in electing Nathaniel P. Banks speaker by a plurality vote the only time that the speaker was not elected by a majority of all the members of the house. Union Party in 1860. In 1860 the union party elected 28 representatives, but with the war coming on they combined with the republicans and in 1864 the re publicans took the name of union, representing the sentiment in favor of the union as against the rebel lion. In 1872 and 1874 the greenbackers elected fourteen representatives; in 1892 the populists had eight repre sentatives and in 1896 the silver party elected both senators and rep resentatives and continued to nave party representation in both houses of congress until 1902. The social ists, the labor party, and the pro hibition party have had one, two or three representatives in recent years, and the prohibitionists have one nominal representative in the pres ent house, but he acts with the demo crats and only uses the name prohi bition to designate his party affilia tions outside of congress. But while there have been few representatives and senators in re cent years who were elected as other than republican and democrat, there have been a good many men in con gress who have been as independent as. any of the officially designated independents of other days. In 61s there were twenty-one republicans who refused to be bound by the cau cus in the .organization of the house, and voted for other candi dates for speaker, and voted with the democrats on the adoption of rules and on the tariff, financial and other party questions. They were elected as republicans but acted with the democrats more often than with the republicans. They did just what the independent party representatives did in former congresses. They were an embarassment rather than a help to the republican party. TheNonpartisan league has sev eral representatives and senators who are designated as republicans, and it would make no dinerence in legislation it they were elected as Nonpartisan leaguers, for they vote for policies of the league and against the republicans on most occasions. Cox and Roosevelt Will Meet With Wilson Sunday Washington, July 13. Governor James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the democratic candi dates for president and vice presi dent, will confer with President Wilson Sunday at the White House.

Chiracs Tribune-Omaha Ba Lowed Wire. Washington, July 13. A straight out wet and dry issue between Sena tor Harding and Governor Cox was forecast today by Senator Kenyon of Iowa, republican, who has returned to Washington, following the hear ings held by the campaign expendi ture committee, of which he is chair man, at Chicago and St. Louis. "I think Harding will grow stronger and Cox will grow weaker as the campaign progresses," said Senator Kenyon. "It will be impos sible for Governor Cox to trim through the campaign on the wet is sue. He is a wet candidate, and every one knows it. The country is dry, and instead of being afraid of the issue, the republicans should meet it. "Coming as I have from the west, I know that the people out there recognize Governor Cox as a wet candidate trying to slide through the campaign without making his posi tion clear, and they will not stand for it." Senator Kenyon called at the of fices of the Interstate Commerce commission during the day to dis cuss the car shortage situation. "If conditions do. not improve within the next 30 days, it would seem that we may have to return to war control of fuel," said Senator Kenyon.

MUST NOT DODGE ISSUES, WOOD DECLARES General Will Throw Support To Harding if Clean-Cut Campaign Is Made. Chicago, July 13. Major General Wood, in a statement today, de clared he heartily endorsed the nom iness of the republican party, "un derstanding that the progressive ele ments are to be brought into the campaign and given full representa tion and participation." "The party can win through united effort and such clear and ex plicit declaration of program as will bring the large, independent vote to its active support," the statement said. General Wood, who conferred with Senator Harding at Marion, O., last week, defined what he considered necessary points in a "progressive policy" and declared that the party could not win by de structive criticism. "The party's policy must be clean cut, forward looking and construc tive," he said. "One which, while recognizing America's responsibil ities as the leading nation will guar antee her freedom from foreign con trol and class domination, one which will safeguard our traditional pol icies,, one which will complete en franchisement of women; which will stand against all forces and influ ences tending to break down moral ity, the physical well being or the solidarity of our people.
