Advice Concerning Policy of
Anti-Botsiievik Leader in
South Russia Reaches Wash
ington Authorities.
PLANS TO HOLD PRESENT
TERRITORY IN CRIMEA
Believes Slackening of Red
Authority Will le Brought
About by Checking Control
Exercised by Moscow.
thlcara Tribune-Omaha, Bee Leased Wire.
' Washington, Aug. 29. More com
plete information than has hereto
fore reached the United States con
cerning the policy of General Wran
gel, antibolshevik leader in South
Russia, has been received here in
an authoritative quarter.
It has been known for some time
that General Wrangel, unlike his
predecessor, General Dauikin, and
Admiral Kolchak, does not contem
plate any extensive military offen
sive against the Moscow governs
iv;Ctit.- but.- on the contrary, intends
ti hold his ground in the Crimea
and- adjactant territories as antibol
slievist nucelus, pending further de
velopment of the situation within
s,ovict Russia. '
According to the present informa
tion, General Wrangel anticipates
that the eventual slackening of the
bolshevik authority 'will be accom
plished by a shortening of the ra
tlins of the control exercised by
Moscow. This shortening , of the

ritory, from which the bolshevik
control radius has contracted, drop

:y Anarchy Threatened.
;'. Were there no other government
functioning in Russia than that of
the bolsheviki, according to Wran
,gl's views, these territories dropped
from soviet Russia would fall into a
state of' anarchy. If, on the other
lifttld, . the antibolshevik elements
can' maintain a , liberal democratic
. whose administration the masses of
tnt people arc content1, mere win De
nucelus which can gather m. the
trtcts from which the soviet con-
has passed and supply to them

air eadvis Successfully m operation.
Denikin and Kolchak both are be
lieved by- Wrangel. it is stated, to
have made the mistake of concen
trating their entire effort to gain
military success while neglecting the
administrative organization of their
territories. Wrangel, it is affirmed.
is therefore following a policy of
. giving his first attention to. the es
tablishment of a government which
will bring contentment and satisfac
tion to the people under its author
i:.v, using his military forces .only
for the maintenance of his position.
In this way, through agrarian re
forms and other measures designed
to meet the needs and desires of the
people. . General Wia.tgel. it is said,
is seekine to attain a degree of stab
ility in . order to be welcomed by
other parts of Russian territory
which, eventually released from so
viet rule, would otherwise be left in
a. chaotic state.
Refugees Need Care.
) One of the reasons also given for
this move was the necessity of feed
ing and caring for thousands of refu-gf-.t
concentrated in the Crimea.
These refugees, it was held, were for
tU,jhiost part men and women of the
intellectual classes, whose preserva
tion was a necessity for the good of
the future Russian nation.
' Atso, it is said to be one of the
Chief efforts of Gen. Wrangel- to
moid the influence of an entourage
-f military reactionists. While both
Pentkm and Kolchak are said to
-L.iavc been men of liberal and demo
cratic ideals, the rature.of thcif re
spective regimes led to an undue in
fluence on the part of the purely mili
tary circles, in which in all nations
there exists a (strong ,te,ndcy to
ward military autocracy. 47t is as
serted that in this possibility lies the
greatest danger to. the Wrangel g6y
:rnment and that every precaution is
being taken against it.
Anothef development in the Rus

Mrs. Harding Works Long
Hours Putting Bricks
In Her Palace of Dreams
Multitude of Details of Campaign Turned Over to
Wife of Republican Candidate Mail Alone Is
Problem in Itself,' But Every Letter Receives
Answer Senator Has Little Time for Front
Porch Gossip.
By PHILIP KINGSLEY.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee l.eaaed Wire.
Marion, O., Aug. 29. Senator
Harding's "front porch" campaign is
not all lolling in a hammock, smok
ing cheroots and reading light sum
mer literature while the August lo
custs sing in the maples. A view of
the wide, deep porch in Mount Ver
non avenue seldom includes the tall
figure of the senator, who has been
christened White Eagle by the In
dians. It takes further search to
find him.
Mrs. Harding is more often in
view. She is accessible to all. Fliv
ver parties stop. The senator is
busy, "Jimmie" Sloan smilingly in
forms the head of the family. "Ma"
looks disappointed and the little boy
digs his heel iu the gravel. Then
Airs. Htrding appears, and her gen
nine greeting restores happiness.
Possibly she goes into the house
next door and appearwith the sen
ator. She has been named "SnOw Bird'
meaning busy worker, by her Indian
friends, and she justifies the descrip
tion. The Indians have a psychic
way of getting at people's character.
The candidate's wife is putting bricks
in the palace of her dreams, not
merely dreaming.
No Gossip for Senator.
The senator's habitat'is a small
back office in the house next door.
No front porch gossip for him. His
iron gray head is bent over a desk.
He is working as hard as a cor
poration executive. The phones ring
and his secretary pops in and out,
the typewriters click and the mes
sengers run to and fro. Half a dozen
secretaries, 10 stenographers, and
still no room and no time for leis
ure. "Have I no more rights as a pri
vate citizen?" he asked in plaintive
voice one day. , ,
' "You have not," said Mrs. Har
ding, sternly.
The mail has to come to the Har
ding's with a wagon nowadays.
Great sacks of newspapers which
the senator has no time to read,
stacks of letters which take time and
thought. Strings of - "important"
vistors, conferences, long distance
telephoning. Speeches to write, pes
tiferous newspaper men to attend to,
interviews to prepare. This is the
front porch campaign.
The mail alone is a task. It takes
one boy all day-to open- H.
Then
it is passed to Capt. F. W. Parker,
an ex-service man, who sits all day
reading and indicating what letters
are to go to the senator and what

care of Mrs. Harding's mail after it
has been opened and read by the
senator's wife. Miss Lawler got her
training in handling matters of this
kind under the late Senator Orville
H. Piatt of Connecticut, Elihu Root
and John Hay.
Sixty per cent of the letters re
ceived arc valueless. Mant' habitual
letter writers who pester Washing

many in a formal machine-like man

big offices. But it lacks somewhere
the human touch, andi that is sup
plied in a remarkable degree in Mrs.
Harding's way of dealing with her
correspondents.
Here is a letter showing the kind
of work she is doing. It is in 're
sponse to a letter written by a man
83 years of age, who tells her all
about his record as a republican
voter and shows how much he ad
mires the senator. He wants to or
ganize a campaign club in his town
and asks for buttons and litho
graphs. Sample of Work.
Mrs. Harding reads the letter,
written with such effort, and replies:
"My Dear Mr. :' Your per
fectly marvelous letter has done me
a world of good, and I am delighted
to know about you. and am more
than plad that you thought to write
me and let me know of the fine work
in which you are engaged. You may
be sure that I will have the litho

Writers seek to commit her on a

2,000 PEOPLE ATTEND
AUDITORIUM MEETING
Candidate Repeats Charges of
$1 5,000,000 Campaign Fund
For G. 0. P. Ticket Claims
Montana Speech Misquoted.
An open and admitted appeal to
progressive republicans to vote for
the democratic national candidates,
was the keynote of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, democratic candidate for
vice president, in his speech at the
Auditorium Saturday night. The five
minute speakers who preceded him,
including the chairman, W. H.
Thompson of . Grand Island, who is
national committeeman, Mayor
Smith and James O'Hara, candidate
for congress, all called the attention
of the audience to the similarity of
names. Theodore Roosevelt was
eulogized, and at times it was dif
ficult to determine whether the
meeting was one of democrats or
republicans.
Mr. Roosevelt devoted the main
part of his speech to repeating the
charges of a $15,000,000 campaign
fund which Governor Cox has al
leged is being sought by the republi
can committee. He declared he knew
of the plan for districting the nation
and assigning quotas months ago.
It can never be too soon to make
of this sort of thing one of the
principal issues to be passed on by
the verdict of the voters of the na
tion," he declared. "Governor Cox
has rendered a national service in
dragging this foul thing into the
light. I feel very certain that Ameri
ca will not be cynical about it. Very
few people .will say, 'Oh, well, this is
just the usual campaign stuff. We
have got past that kind of attitude
of mind. '
Attacks, Old Guard.
"The exposure of Will Hays' and
his old guard clique ii of far more
moment than a mere partisan at
tack. It affects the foundations of
our system of government. It is of
far more moment than the election
of; Governor Co and myself; it
bring'-Hp-tlie- -immediate ; tt
how to eradicate a known and
proven sore iu our body politic.
"An immediate remedy is needed.
Senator Harding holds that remedy
if he will only use it. He should dis
charge at once Mr. Will Hays, his
national chairman; Mr. Upham, his
treasurer, and all others connected
with raising this unholy fund. He
should put in their places men who
have ideals men who will see to.it
that his campaign is conducted
throughout on high American prin
ciples and that money is raised and
expended only in ways which are
beyond criticism."
'An' audience of 2,000 people at
tended the meeting, which formally
opened the national campaign in
Omaha. The youthful appearance of
Mr. Roosevelt was striking. -His ac

his attitude of being one thoroughly

candidate denounced The Omaha

speech in Montana where the press
associations announced that he had
said that the United States controlled

that there was no possibility of a
bond being fixed for Davidson that

the room adjoining the chief's room,
where the detectives were question
ing Davidson.
Attorney Tells of Conversation.
"I heard Anderson say. 'Are you
going to tell us now or shall I hit
you again?'" Curran asserts. Latec
