By ARTHUR SEARS HENNINO , Ckirafo Triban-Ontnh Be. LwMd Win. "Washington. Aug. 6. Endorse ment by the democrats of President v Wilson s stand on the league of ' Vnations issue, aproval by the repub- Jicans of the Lodge reservations to the covenant, and a gain of one vote by the "wets" in the house of rep ' ; resentatives were the outstanding results of the party primaries held in U half dozen states Thursday. , The defeat of Senator Gore of .

He also opposed the president's wheat price guarantee and other wartime food v regulations legislation. '7 (Ferris Backed Wilson. ' Representative Ferris stood with the president against the McLe Biobre resolution, advocated the cov enant without reservations and otherwise supported "the administra tion at all times. Gore had been de prived of all federal patronage and the administration1 forces were sol idly arrayed against him in the pri- mary. Such bitterness characterized this democratic conflict that the repub licans are encouraged to believe they have a good chance of carrying Ok lahoma for Harding and for the republican nominee 'for senator, C Representative Harrold. Another adminstration victory on , the league was the nomination of Breckenridge Long, who recently .resigned as third assistant secretary i of state, for senator from Missouri, y He made the race in support of the . . president's stand on the league of nations and appears to have defeated 4 ,'by a narrow margin Judge Priest, who was anti-league and supported . conspicuously by Senator Reed, treaty irreconcilable. . Republicans in Missouri and Kan sas upheld their senators in voting for the Lodge reservations. Sen ator Spencer in the former and Sen ator Curtis in the latter state easily defeated their opposition to renomi nation. Liquor Big Issue. The liquor issue figured in many ,of the primary contests, but the only change from the present complexion of the house on this question was recorded in Virginia, where the dem ocrats nominated J. T. Deal to suc ceed Representative Holland Of the Norfolk district, who did not seek re-election. Deal ran on a light wine and beer platform. Holland is a "dry." In Missouri, Judge . Priest -m-braced lhe "wet" cause, while Long avoided committing himself on the issue. Senator Spencer defended his vote for the Volstead act, on which he was assailed by his opponents. . The republican and democratic nomi nees for governor are "dry." In Oklahoma and Kansas, both ; banner prohibition states, the "wets" , did not get a lpok in. In previous primaries Representa tive Shreve of Pennsylvania, a re publican and a "dry," and Repre sentative Crago of Pennsylvania, re- ."' publican, and Dent of Alabama, dem ocrat, both of whom are "wet," were '.'defeated. Representative Small of -' ': North Carolina, who did not vote on . ' the prohibition measure in this con gress, also was defeated. There was one liquor fight in Texas, in which j Representative Buchanan, ,a "wet," -was renominated. House Strongly Dry. '. ; "The house will be sttongly dry," . said E. C. Dinwiddie, chairman of .the International Congress Against Alcoholism, "but even if it were wei .the senate, which will be dry, would block any modification of the law. "I have carefully examined the " - records of the senators and I find that in the two-thirds membership I of the senate not up for election this j fall we can count upon almost Enough senators to ive us the nec i . tssary majority; We will have to have with-us only 8 of the 32 sen s ators who will be elected in Novem ber to retain control on the prohibi tion question. As a matter of fact, t the majority of the senators who are .utandinsr for re-election are dry and ; most of trie men who are opposing them are dry, so we cannot lose the senate."

Mere chance brought about the first meeting between Mrs. May Coseboom and George F. Reim, president of the Reim, Thompson company, according to her testimony in Justice Hanby's court, where Reim was given a hearing on a charge of attempting to commit a statutory of fense against her. Mr. Reim was for 11 years agent in Omaha for a large automobile company". Mrs. Coseboom testified that she was hurrying to work one morning when Reim stopped his car and of fered to give her a lift. During the ride he gave her his name and she handed him a pay envelope with her name on it, adding her telephone number, she said. Subsequently he took her out to lunch several times, but, she said, in company with a girl friend. Twice he drove her to her home in Long Beach, once meeting and talking with her husband. On Tune 28, she said, he offered to drive her to Long Beach, but near .pLynwood turned the car off the high- way, saying he had to make a de tour. The witness then said she had a struggle with the defendant, during which she tore off the draperies in his car. She managed to get away, she said, after he had slapped her face, and ran screaming down the Lroad to where she saw Cecil R. Clark working on a tractor in a field. She asked Mr. Clark's protection, she said. Mr. Clark testified to meeting the young woman and escorting her against Mr Reim's wishes, to the home of Mrs Katherine L. Shaw, who cared for Mrs. Coseboom. Mrs. Shaw said the young woman's face, neck and chest were bruised and that her garments were torn. The case is being" prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Hill and H. L. Geisler and Claire Woolwine appeared for the defense. A continuance was taken until Au gust 17, when the defendant's case will be presented. Republicans Lay Plans For Campaign in Maine Chicago, Aug. 6. Plans for the republican campaign in Maine, where the general elections are to be held ou September 13, were laid at re publican national headquarters. Four speakers from the western bureau will be among those sent into Maine o speak fpr Senator Harding and Governor Coolidge. They are Congressmen Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, Henry Lane Wilson of In diana, former Ambassador to Mex ico; George E. Foss of Illinois, for mer congressman, and Leslie M. Shaw, ex-secretary of the treasury. The Maine election is always watched with interest by politicians as indicating the trend of sentiment. Navy Yard Employes Ask 40 Per Cent Wage Increase Washington. Aug. 6. Representa tives of 80,000 navy yard workers in 43 navy yards appeared before the navy wage board to urge an imme diate increase in wages of approxi mately 40 per cent. They asked that the average wage be increased to $1.05 an hour, which they said was 5 cents less than workers in the same trades received from private industry. More than 200 spokesmen wanted to be heard and the board decided to hear them in alphabetical order.

"Yes, sir, I believe as firmly as I believe anything that Tanlac saved my life two years ago," was the statement made a few days ago by Abraham L.

Democratic clans were gathering here today for their great quadrennial , event, the presentation tomorrow to the Amer ican electorate of a presidential nom inee Governor Cox of Ohio. All was in readiness for the governor's formal notification of nomination, by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, who presided over the San Francisco convention, and the candidate's ad dress' of acceptance declaring the broad lines of the campaign. Governor Cox hoped, during the presence of leaders here for the notification ceremonies, to settle campaign organization affairs, dis pose of state and personal business and be ready, after his address to morrow, for unlimited campaigning until election day. Leaders Arrive Early. Among important early arrivals due were George White, chairman of the democratic national commit tee, and Senator Harrison of Mis sissippi, head of the speakers' bu reau. They were expected to an nounce, respectively, the special campaign committee and the gov ernor's first speech-making itinerary after approval by the candidate. With Governor Cox's acceptance address in type for tomorrow after noon's newspapers, speculation in creased today regarding the brief but important insert he has an nounced would be forthcoming to morrow. The governor continued to hold it a secret. Speculation on its message centered principally on three subjects, a possible challenge to Senator Harding, his republican opponent, for joint debate of the league of nations, a specific state ment on Article X of the league covenant, or a definite announce ment regarding the prohibition issue. Democratic leaders here seemed agreed that the league undoubtedly would be the great campaign battle ground and awaited with keen inter est the address of Governor Cox which, he has announced, will be so plain that school children may un derstand. His promises for an ag gressive and 1 offensive xampaign carried personally to the people from coast to coast also apparently found unanimous favor. Besides the interests of himself and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the vice presidential candidate, Governor Cox is planning to carry with the national ticket a democratic congress-. On the league issue, close advisers say he feels that it wili be settled definitely in the November balloting for president and sen ators.

POLICEMEN AND BANDITS IN FJELD DAY IN WINDY CITY Series of Robberies, WreckjTtnd Gun Battles Keep Chicago Officers Busy Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leaned Wire, Chicago, Aug. 6. This was a field day for automobile and ordinary bandits, with fierce battles staged between them and the police in vari ous sections of the city. There were three running gun fight? and four bandits' were captured, two of them with serious bullet wounds. Four others escaped. Of those who got away, two carried bullets as sou venirs of the engagement. Traveling at terrific speed, a stolen automobile, carrying four ban dits, roared down Racine avenue and collided with another machine at noon, spilling passengers and parts of the machine all over the street. Five minutes hter three of the ban dits had stolen another machine, kid naped the driver and were speeding south, leaving two demolished cars, several injured persons, a gaping crowd and a wondering police force in their wake. Evidently the bandits were escaping from some crime, al though no reports of it have yet come in. The fourth bandit vanished up an alley, leaving his hat and revolver in his haste. Police and a carload of bandits fought a running battle on South Side streets, wounding one so badly he may die, and winging another, who escaped. A few moments later the same squad of policemen en countered three automobile bandits and captured two of them. The third, who was wounded, escaped. In the third battle the officers wounded one and captured a second of three burglars whom they sur prised at work In still another case the driver of a stolen car loaded with bandits lost control in his haste to get away, and the car struck the curb and smashed its way through a large window. The bandits leaped out and escaped by the back door, shooting .it everybody in sight as they disappeared in a maze of alley ways.

MUCH FARM HELP Small Factories Hardest Hit Garages Attract Men From Other Jobs Work But Few Days. By ARTHUR M. EVANS. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Valley City, N. D.. Aug. 6. The small cities in the granger states are far harder pinched for skilled and semiskilled labor than are the farm ers for field hands and monthly hired help. Of harvest labor there is a glut and in South Dakota the farm er who is starting to cut his wheat has no trouble' in getting men at 50 cents an hour for 10 hours a day, but in the cities to pick up a stray artisan looking for work is like finding a gold nugget. The garages are the one exceptional ihey have plenty ot men. JNumoers of them, too, get in only two to four days work a week, but at high wages they seem to be content. The fas cination of climbing into overalls and puttering around the machinery and then climbing into the old boat and stepping on it. still holds them. At almost every garage one sees them sprawling in chairs waiting a chance to do $14 worth of damage to the passing tourist's chariot under tne guise of repairs. Small Shops Hit Hardest. But the little factories and the es tablishments that require artisans are short df help. Small foundries and machine shops are clamoring for men. Country printing shopa are short. In many a small com munity the editor of a country week ly is sticking his own type and kick ing the old job press with' his strong right leg. "I haven't seen an old fashioned journeyman typeslinger in a pink moon," lamented an editor at Brookings. "Some of our star reporters, col lege boys, are quitting positions at $30 and $35 a week to take jobs in garages'," said the editor of a flour ishing Sioux Falls daily. The au tomobile industry sure has thrown things topsy turvy." "We've got plenty of laborers and enough hammer and saw men, but we can't get enough real skilled car penters," has been a common report from building contractors. In Aber deen this morning a contractor spoke of a gang he rounded up last week for a job in Utah. "Forty of them claimed to be skilled workers and demanded artisan's wages," he said, "but of the forty, only two were actual mechanics. Every wheel bar row pusher these days claims to be a skilled worker the barrow is an engine." Laborers Have Made Little. Another thing, 'apart from the "soft snap" workers who labor with the soda fountains, the smaller cities, considered as labor plants, appear to Summer Weight Wool Suits $18 Tweeds, Cassimeres, Cheviots Sizes 33 to 40 Previously up to $35 89tf $1.65 $8.65 $3.75 $1.59 - 59 be putting far more back into their work than are the metrdpoitan cen ters. About 6 a. m. they burst into activity and 7 o'clock sees them roaring along with the throttle wide open. High wages in the harvets fields have not meant such a high earning capacity. In Kansas, hands made a nice piece of velvet out of the $7 and $8 day, but where the denands for workers were less, migratory labor emerges from the wrong end of the horn. This morning at 7 o'clock at least 500 r.icn were on the streets of Aberdeen, looking for jobs. One group of twenty was can vassed.
