HITCHCOCK TO
PREPARE 'DOPE'
IN LEAGUE FIGHT
Nebraska Senator to Conduct
School for Speakers
"Slush", Fynd Charge
Cctuses Laugh.
By E. C. SNYDER
athlnctoa. Correipondtiit of Omaha Bc.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 26.
(Special Telegram.) Earl Gaddis',
former political secretary to Senator
Hitchcock, who has resigned to take
jo4 as assistant publisher of the
World-Herald, leaves for Omaha to
morrow by automobile, accompanied
by his family. Mr. Gaddis will call
on Governor Cox at Colunibus;md
will also make stops in Illinois and
Iowa.
Mr. Gaddis said that the senator,
planned to leave Atlantic City with
Mrs. Hitchcock and daughter in a
few days, establishing themselves
for Mrs. Hitchcock's benefit, at some
quiet resort on Long Island, within
easy reacli of New York City, where,
as dean of the league school for
political orators, Mr. Ilotchcock will
hold forth, until around election
time, when he will go to Nebraska to
vote.
Political circles have been all "hct
up" the last few days over Governor
Cox's charges of a large "slush"
fund being raised by republicans to
debauch the election and tbe man
ner in which the governor has been
backing and filling since Senator
Kenypn's telegram to the democratic
nominee calling upon him to produce
his evidence, has filled the republi
cans with unalloyed joy and they
await this evening's "revelations'
by Cox with equinamity.
Republican managers of the inner
circle do not hesitate to say that
Governor Cox has pulled a "bone'
and that' failure to substantiate his
charges of a $15,000,000 fund to cor
rupt the electorate will result in a
reaction of public sentiment which
will put the governor in a most
unenviable light before the country.
Treasurer Upham's statement that
less than a $1,000,000 has been raised
is regarded as the gospel truth by
those who know Fred Upham and
the efficiency he has shown in keep
ing books. Republican managers say
they are in a position to come clean
in their showing of contributions
and expenditures and they scout the
idea that Governor Cox's charee i :
founded on fact and rest content
with thje knowledge that it is sus-1
septibld of submission to the cold
light ot truth when the books are
opened to public inspection.
Cautious-minded democrats, out
aide the active political managers .
are greatly concerned over Governor
Cox's charges of a corruption fund
and realize that unless he has some
ground upon 'which to base his
accusations, it will prove that the
republicans are right in their as,
scrtions that Governor "Tinimle" is
rash in his utterances, quick at turn
ing political corners and devilish sly j
in a political fight, in very unfavor
able contrast with the more reserved
and more dignified candidate on the
republican ticket.

HUSBAND LEAVES
BRIDE WHO WAITED
30 YEARS FOR HIM
Woman Deserted Three Days
After Marriage to Sweet
heart of Girlhood.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 26. Thirty years
is a long time for a girl to wait for
the man she loves. Time dims the
roses in her cheeks and hardens the
lines around her eyes and she may
not appear the same to the man who
had loved the sweefheart of his
youth. Mrs. John Forrest, who for
nierly was Mary Black, is cogitating
these matter, pending a hearing ot
her suit for nqnsupport against John
forrest, manager ot the-American
Pullman company.
The romance began in Kothsay,
Isle of Butte, Scotland. John and
Mary were born in the same year,
167. and from ninatore playmates
they became youthful lovers. Then
arose some coolness and the vil
lage was surprised to learn that
John had married another girl and
sailed for .America.
Marv was 23 when he left. There
were admirers, but she remained
true to her first love. Thirty years
she waited and then came a letter
from John, announcing the death
of his wife and his desire that she
should come to the United States
and become his bride.
Three days after their marriage,
er husband left her. She followed
him to Chicago and he sent her to
Akron. O. She had been there one
day when he sent her a letter, tell
ing her he never cared to see her
again.
Judge Trude issuer an order for
his arrest on a charge of nonsup
port and continued the hearing uh
til September 9.

peared in the latest issue of La
Viemaritime Et Fluviale to reach the

CHICAGO CUBS TO
VISIT HARDING
AT MARION HOME
"Will Visit G. 0. P. Nominee
September 2, After Which
They Will Play Exhibition
Base Ball Game.
Marion, O., Aug. 26. The Chi
cago Cubs are to do their bit for
Senator Harding's front porch cam
paign by coining to Marion on Sep
tember 2 to play a free exhibition
game with an aggregation of local
semi-professionals.
The engagement was made today
as a result of a chance remark by
the senator that one of the big
handicaps of the front porch was
his inability to see base ball games.
William Wrigley and A. D. Lasker,
two of the chief owners of the Cubs
and both connected with the pub
licity end of the Harding campaign,
arranged for the trip and offered to
loan the locals any Cub battery they
might pick for "the game. Tyler
and O'Farrell have been selected.
Both the senator and Mrs. Hard
ing are fans and they have promised
to do their share to make the occa
sion a red letter day at the Marion
ball park. The candidate will pitch
the first ball.
Most of today Senator Harding
spent in consultation with various
patty leaders on campaign policies.
Among those on his appointment list
was former Senator George Suther
land of Utah.- It was understood
that the league issue was the prin
cipal subject of discussion. Mr.
SutherlamVis president of the Amer
ican Bar .association.
