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.

BOOZE WILL BE
BIG ISSUE, SAYS
lOVA SENAT0R
West Recognizes Governor
Cox as Wet, Which Will
Aid Harding in Race,
Kenyon Declares.
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.

mobile. Jewish residents of Jarmo

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
