SCOUTS OF G.O.P.
COMPLETE TOUR
OF OBSERVATION
Say Harding Is Bound to Win
And Republicans Will Raise
Senate Majority From
Two to Six.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha ttee Leased Wire.
Washington, July 14. That Sen
ator Harding is bound to win
and that the republicans will
control the senate by a major
ity of at least six votes, is the
verdict of republican scouts who
have just returned to Washington
afler a five weeks' tour of the con
tested portions of the country. The
present republican majority in the
senate is two.
The scouts were dispatched to va
rious states to get accurate iufornm
ticn upon which to base the campaign-
and not merely to gather
"hunk" fdr press agent outgivings.
They have kept their eyes open to
realities and rendered their reports
as free as it has been humanly pos
sible to keep them free from parti
san bias. Where they have found
weak spots they have made no at
tempt to shield the fact and they
have fairly "leaned over backwards"
to avoid unwarranted confidence.
vii lie uan 4ji men icjoi is, .jcii-
ator Poindextcr of Washington,
chairman of the republican sena
torial campaign committee today is
sued a statement emphasizing the
necessity of controlling the senate
Republicans Will Win.
"In my opinion," he said, "the re
pi'blicans will elect their presidential
ticket, but it yould be a great cm
bsrrassmcnt to a republican adminis
tration if all its official appointments
of importance has to be submitted
to a democratic senate for confirma
tion. The administration would be
1,'i gely deprived of full liberty of ac
tion and seriously embarassed in
the performance of the great tasks
devolving on it. For that and other
purposes, the republican senatorial
committee will conduct a very
thorough campaign in some four
teen or fifteen states where the is
sue is in doubt, for the election of
republican senators.
"The great issue In the senatorial
campaign especially is the issue of
Americanism. President Wilson has
said that we should be ready to sac
rifice some portion of our sov
ereignty. Possibly the American
people, assembled in convention,
could, if they saw. fit, sacrifice some
portion of the sovereignty of the na
tion, but there is no constitutional
power in the government to sacrifice
any portion of it whatever. The
maintenance of complete American
sovereignty, the withdrawal of mili
tary forces from Europe, the co-op-ctition
of the nation for the preserv
ation of the peace of the world and
the re-establisrfment of peace and
commercial relations with Germany
without compromising American in
dependence, are all peculiarly in
volved in the senatorial campaign."
Effect Fight in West.
The territory over which the po
litical reconnaissaince has been con
ducted is mainly the west and mid
dle west, which, from the first, has
been recognized as the "fighting
ground." It is generally agreed by
the observers that Governor Cox
was the democrats' "best bet." His
nomination injured democratic
chances principally in states where
the democrats had no chance any
how, and helped their prospects
somewhat in places where liquor is
going to be an issue. The territory
west of the Mississippi, which elect
ed Wilson four years ago because
he wept us out of war, Nis going
to do a complete flip-flop this year,
according to reports and roll up a
big majority against the democratic
candidate because of his "wet" lean
ings. No great enthusiasm has yet
manifested itself in the west in fa
vor of Senator Harding, it is re
ported, but the reaction against Cox
because of his moist affiliations
have made the republican nominee's
success a "lead pipe cinch" in the
arid regions.
On the other hand, the east is
accounted Harding territory, de
spite Cox's attitude on the liquor
issue. The resentment against the
democratic administration over
balances the wet sentiment in vir
tually all of the eastern states ex
cept possibly New Jersey.
The south has been tossed into
the uolitical discard so far as the
republicans are concerned. On the
basis of reports made, they have
hopes of carrying a congressional
district here. and there south of the
Mason and Dixon line, but they are
going to waste no time or money in
any attempt to carry states for the
presidential nominee.
The fight therefore centers more
than ever in the west and far west.
Ohio, particularly, is a storm center.
Just now it loks like anybody's
fight in the Buckeye state. It would
not surprise republican observers
here if Cox should "squeak"
through by a narrow margin in his
home state, but they are not letting
thio deter them from preparing for
& .jJeU.'Sincd struggle ir Ohio.

LINK COMMUNIST
LABOR PARTY WITH
RED MANIFESTO
State Gains Much Ground in
Case Against William
Bross Lloyd. ,
( Iilciigo I riliiMle-Omaha Ilea Leaned H ire.
Chicago, July 14. Into the evi
dence against William Bross Lloyd
and V) other members of the com
munist labor party, on trial before
Judtre Hebcl. the state today pushed
admissions that linked the party di
reccntly with Lenine and Trotzky's
Moscow manifesto.
The state has gaineuV much ground
in thus firmly establishing the link
between the defendants and the two
scheming and unscrupulous Russfan
agitators.
The Moscow manifesto, referred
to in the statement, and which will
figure frequently in this trial, was
drawn up in March,1 1919, and is said
by enemies of radicalism to be the
reddest document ever written. A
socict America, in which the pres
ent states would be captured by the
masses, was pictured to the jury.
Every meeting of the party, it was
testified, opened and closed with
the "bolshevik veil" and the singing
of the "Red Flag," the party's yell
follows:
Rolshevllt, bolshevik, bolshevik, bang,
We are members of tho 'Uene Debs gang-'
Are w rebels

The defense made no opening
statement and has given no hint of
its line of defense since yesterday's
ruling that the trial must proceed
under the Illinois sedition law. Coun

no crime to preach revolution so

and that if some crack-brain did take
the soap box orators seriously and
went out and committed an act of
violence, the' preacher of sedition
could not be held responsible.

INSANITY MAY :
8E DEFENSE OF
CARL WANDERER
Relatives of Chicago Murderer
Lay Plans for Trial on
Grounds of Long Over
worked Plea.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Ilea Leased Hire.
Chicago, July 14, That thread
bare and much overlooked defense,
"temporary insanity," may be invok
cd in an effort to save the neck of
CarlWanderer, slyer of his wife, his
unborn babe and J. J. Maloncy, a
"poor bum" who he promised $1.50
to help stage a holdup of his wife.
Present' indications, however, are
that it will not get very far. Wan
derer himself insists he is perfectly
sane and all alienists agree that he
is normal and sane, although when
they mention normality they add
that he appears to be utterly lack
ing a soul and conscience.
His relatives today, began laying
the foundation for this defense. His
sister says Wanderer once tried to
throw himself from a third story
hospital window while he was suffer
ing from scarlet fever and the .fam
ily also calls attention to the fact
that his mother committed suicide
while insane and that she had been
demented six years before she took
her own life.
Dr. William O. Krohn, admittedly
the leading alienist of the country,
says Wanderer is sane and normal in
al! respects. Police officials ex
press the belief that the fight to save
Wanderer from the gibbet will rage
around this question.
Deny He I Hero.
Wanderer was stripped of his
"hero role" today by Lieutenant
W'illiam H. Craig of Camp Grant,
Wanderer's former commander in
Company B, Seventeenth machine
gun battalion.
"He has never received any deco
rations of any kind," Lieutenant
Craig declared. "Neither the distin
guished service cross, Croix de
Guerre, nor any other. He was not
in the Argonnc and did not mow
down Germans as he has boasted.
He was at an officer-candidates'
school when the battalion was in the
Argonne. ,
"Wanderer's only experience1 in
tin trencher was when the battalion
went into the front lines in the Ger
ardncr sector, September 3, 1918."
The police are now in possession
of evidence to show that Wanderer
was unfaithful to his wife from the
start. They have found letters and
pictures and have interviewed girls
to whom Wanderer was attentive,
even while he was planning the
murder of his wife and unborn babe,
and immediately after he commit
ted the grewsonie triple crime. His
love of money amounted to a mania,
yet he was spending money hi
wife had saved in taxicabs and
amusement parks, in company with
other women, all of whom say he
represented himself as a single man
and considerable of a war hero.
Mother Sees Vision.
"It was related today that six
years ago Wanderer's mother arose
screaming from her bed, her eyes
staring wildly at some horrer in the
dark and her tense finger clawinz
at her throat.
"My boy" she shrieked. "My
Carl They are hanging him on a
tree Carl Carl ."
The black vision remained. The
family could not comfort her. Even
the coming of daylight did not re
assure her.
"They are going to hang him."
she sobbed. "I can't see that. I'll
die first. I'll kill myself before I
live to see them kill my boy that
way ."
Relatives watched her closely, but
just before noon she was left alone
for a few moments. When her hus
band returned from his butcher
shop, he went directly to her room.
She was stretched across the bed,
quiet dead, having cut her throat
with a pair of small embroidery
scissors.
