, THE BEE: OMAHA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 192U. Reed Deals Filial Blow to Hopes of Missouri Demos Senator Advises Electing of Candidates Against League In Speech Opposing the Administration. . Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 24. (Spe cial Telegram). The Missouri de mocracy is split 40 ways for Sunday. Heed's great speech against the na tional administration and Cox. here Thursday night has rocked the state. In Missouri they have no illusions to what Reed meant when he said lie feared that Cox, if elected, would he under the influence of Woodrow , Wilson. Missourpns are in no wise in the dark as to Reed's meaning when he advised them to vote for candidates for the United States senate who stand unalterably opposed to the lengue of nations. That was a flat repudiation of Breckenridge Long, the White House candidate for senator. In crossing the Rubicon, Reed has taken with mm a large following. iust how numerous is problematical, ut there is not a prominent demo cratic leader in this section of the state, and most of them were here for the Reed speech, who does not believe the state was lost for Cox, even before the Reed pronounce ment State Pro-Harding, Now that the lid has been blown cleat off, the speculation is mostly as to thetfeize of the probable Hard ing sweep in the state and whether it will be great enough to carry the entire republican state ticket to vic tory. Many tof the democratic lead ers of the western side of Missouri are the writer's personal friends, and not a one of them doubts that the Mate is going for Harding and also for Spencer by a large lead. They have virtually abandoned the fight for the national end of the ticket and are now1 centering their effort3 behind the state ticket. The conditions in Kansas City and Jackson county, the oldest demo cratic life saver in many a close bat tle, according to the old timers, arc similar to the surface indications in 1884. Until Roosevelt came along in 1904, Tames G. Blaine was the only republican candidate for president who ever carried Jackson county. Even if Reed had not differed with President , Wilson this section : of Missouri would have been against the league of nations. j ' Demos Have tost Heart Reed has only given z big impetus to the revolt against the White House that was already smashing the democratic organization into a cocked hat The result is that there is no heart in the democratic cam paign. It is not so much a ground swell for Harding as it is a ground swell against Wilson and Cox. The St. Louis situation also has taken the heart out of almost every body in the democratic organization here in Kansas City, for St. Louis will roll up the biggest republican plurality for the national ticket this year in her history. There is a def inite anti-Wilson sentiment here, per haps more pronounced than in any spot in the state outside of St. Louis, owing to the charges of Reed forces that the White House and Homer S. Cummings, former chairman of the democratic national committee, are directly responsible for the smashup of the party in this state. Cummings Causes Ruction. When the league of nations fight came along, Cummings. according to the Reed men, started to organize the state committees through the na tional committal, into hnnetM- nrcran.' izations for the league. That caused f souri. The White House influence kept Reed out of the San Francisco convention. Then to pile on the last straw, the administration had Breckenridge Long, an assistant secretary of state, resign and enter the race for United States senator in Reed's state. Long is a Wlson proleaguer from head to foot. Thus the issue was made direct as between the White House and Reed in the present senatorial campaigns. There was nothing left for the Reed men, -ho follow the grim old fighter with the faithfulness of a dog. but to refuse to support Long and abide the second of November when they could put a big cross in front of the name of Mr. Spencer. So this side of Missouri is more republican today on the national and senatorial ' ticket than it has been since 1904, and unless chaos comes from some unknown and unimagin able quarter within the next week, the state will go for Harding by 40,000 to 50.000 and will jreturn Spencer to the senate. f Cox Is Asked to Answer Allegations , (Continued From Pace One.) which they now seek to perpetuate, they have perverted the form of gov ernment of our; republic and over ridden the purpose of our constitu tion by maintaining extreme and un- democratic centralization of execu tive power which would have been an offense to Thomas Jefferson, Lin coln and Roosevelt. . Condemns One-Man Government "I have spent this campaign in setting forth a constructive repub lican policy. I have demanded the restoration of the constitutional gov ernment of a representative de mocracy, which shall represent the will of the people, rather than the will of one-man government des cending toward the people. "I have stood for more business in government and less government in business. I have demanded a re organization of administrative gov ernment, so that it shall become a pride to American efficiency and will remove the drain from the tax payers. . "I have set forth a plan for the conservation of oar human resources. I have suggested means for the pro tetcion of motherhood and childhood and for the alleviation of human suf fering at home. I have discussed in detail, a policy of reclamation,- Irri gation and development of natural resources, and I have stated clearly ' a plan for the wholesome-expansion of our foreign trade, and for the protection of our industries, and for the upbuilding and safeguarding of our agriculture and for a merchant marine. "As to our foreign policy and America's full expectation of becom ing member of a wise association of nations, with the preservation of our independence and national spirit, I have given a conscientious and practical proposal "I have stated that I am wholly against the proposal to approve our membership in the league of nations as our opponents insist that it shall be written. Even in the hands of our opponents that program is impos sible. Even in the hands of our op ponents it would result in a hope less blockade. "I have endeavored in this cam paign, not merely to be elected, but to set before the American people, sincerely and clearly, a definite pol icy for the administration of the United States to bring our people out of the jungle of mismanagement and into the light of a stable good fortune. I have endeavored to serve by doing what I could to harmo nize public opinion and unite Amer ica behind a foreign policy which shall be wise, generous and hu mane, though it refuses to mortgage America to the old world.

' " "England ,is now paying interest on money borrowed from her own DeoDle. but is not caving Anything on the money borrowed from you," he said. "I think that it is the in tent of Wilson that these debts shall be forgiven and forgotten." Cites Sugar Profiteering. He related how the 'president al lowed the sugar profiteers to take $500,000,000 from the American peo ple, after he had allowed to go by default an opportunity to have kept his hand on the sugar situation. On the league of nations question Mr. Howell stated that the demo crats want this as an issue to cover up their many other derelictions. Mr. Howell made a strong plea for support of the republican party at the November election, referring to the party's record as a promise of relief from democratic misman agement. He was frequently inter rupted by applause. During his closing rehiarks he referred to John H. Morehead, dem ocratic candidate for governor, in these terms: ' "Mr. Morehead is no more fit to he governor of Nebraska than a man from Iowa. His heart does not beat for the common people. His action in the electric light bill show ed that when he had the opportunity his inclination was toward corporate interests rather than toward he peo ple." Says Wilson oancu rw. G. L. DeLacy in u brief talk, stated that President Wilson cracked his whip and scrapped the league of nations. 1 "The president twice refeated an attempt by congress to declare peace. Senator Harding has told us that it he is elected he will put an end to this absurd situation which places us in a technical state of war." Mr. De Lacy ' said. "Wilson has said that we must take his league or we won't have peace. We did not take his league and so we do not have peace. ' ... Mr. DeLacy commended the can didacy of Governor S. R. McKelvie and referred particularly to the civil administrative code. . W. W. Young aroused consider able interest with his attack on the Wilson league. He expressed con fidence that when the .ides of No vember have come, the people win have expressed themselves in favor nf retaininor their sovereign rights He placed a large question mark against the statement that the heart of the world is bleeding because this country has not adopted the presi dent's league of nations covenant. Raymond Crossman told how the democratic administration bought mosquito netting for overseas forces when1 there were no mosquitoes in France. He declared that those who now accept the league as a panacea for peace should remember the slogan of four years ago. T. J. McGuire fired a few broad sides in this manner: "Some of those birds who are now talking for the league of na tions were over there in the court house during the period of the war, getting money from the scrubwomen tor Liberty bonds, while we were going east and west in camp. While these scrubwomen were giving their money to save their sons and "hus bands, the democratic administration was wasting their money on con tractors." v 1 After U. S. Money. ' Congressman Albert W. Jefferis; speaking before a shivering crowd of 200 at Twenty-foiirth and N streets, South Side, las night, held their attention for an hour and a half while he launched into an at tack on the league of nations, wind ing up with disclosures of wasteful extravagance perpetrated by the present administration that came to his knowledge while acting on vari ous post-war investigating commit tees. "They are saying that nine-tenths of the nations of the world has en tered the league, but it can't succeed without our entering into it." he said when he had warmed up. "You'd think that 90 per cent could run lit pretty well. Why do they need us? It's because this one country is not bankrupt. . "Are France and England so iust to their colonies that we want to un derwrite them?" ' In the course of his address he read statistics from the . adjutant general's office, showing that there are now 14,335 American soldier on the Rhine at an approximate cost of $26,000,000 a year, ''there because the president vetoed the peace reso lution passed by the senate and house." Ed. Simon and Tom Hollister pre ceded Mr. Jefferis. Mr. Simon drew tome heckling trom several of the crowd, but he disposed of therft,to the crowd's delight. His talk was on the enormous waste of the admini stration, reading statistics from con gressional records, and dwelling to some extent on Secretary Baker's "mistakes" in oversupplying the army's needs. .'

Prospects Good For Settlement Of Coal Strike Walkout of British Railway Men Postponed Entire La bor Situation Reported , Much Brighter. 8 Bv TOHN STEELE. Nfw York Tlmes-Chleato Tribune Cable. London. Oct. 24. Following a joint meeting tonight of miners and railwav wnrlcpr. it was announced that the threatened strike of the rail way men had been postponed. 1 he walk-nut had been set tentatively for midnight tomorrow. The miners' executive declared that such a strike at this time would only serve to make matters worse and nnccihlv hurt rhanrea at a favorable settlement They also informed the railway men s leaders tnat tney naa received an invitation to meet -again with the- onvernmcnt and that thev had decided to accept. The time of ... . i A i t: I tnis meeting nas not uccu hacu. The entire labor situation was much hritrhtisr todav and there was every prospect for a speedy settle ment of the coal strike. Robert Smillie, the miners' leader, arrived in London this afternoon after an oll.niorht imirni'v from Scotland. He conferred with the miners' delegates and later with the raiiwaymenj ana it is also stated, but not confirmed, that he had a private meeting with Lloyd George. I 1 ' Help Not Wanted. Thn miners' and railroaders' dele- ,.ntiirrfri this afternoon and the railroad men were told plainly that their help was not wanted at this moment, although It might be welcome later if a-settlement could not be gained soon., " The tone in Downing street was especially optimistic Lloyd George, Bonar Law, Sir Robert Horne Mines Minister Bridgeman and Coal Controller Duncan, conferred to gether this morning, after which I. M Thnmae. th secretary of the rail roaders, went to Downing street, from which he hurried to attend the railroad men's meeting. Mr. Lloyd George's secretary said tonight there was every probability that negotiations with the miners would be reopened either tonight er Monday. A significant feature wa the heavy trading on the Cardiff ex change, in coal and iron .shares, which shrewd operators were buying for an immediate rise. The prime minister is remaining in London over the week-end, so as to be in touch with any change in the situa tion and to be available for immedi ate consultation. May Grant Demands. It is deemed probable that the basis for a compromise settlement with the miners will be the immedi ate grant of the demanded two shil lings per day raise on mutual agree ment for reconsideration at the end of the year if increased output is not obtained and the establishment of local committees of owners and em-, ployes to increase the output as well as a thorough revision of wage anomalies. - ? ' The text of the government's sper cial strike bill Issued today, shows that the government takes the power to regulate food, transport, fuel, light, water and all essential services. It also empower? the government, by order-in-council, if parliament is not fitting, to assume all the powers deemed necessary for the preserva tion of order. Roosevelt Predicts Democratic Victory Port Lewis, N. Y., Oct. 24. Franklin D. Roosevelt sent a tele gram to Governor Cox at New York saying: "I have just completed a tour through all districts surrounding Buffalo and the southern part of New York state, and I am able to give you some exceedingly cheerful, first-hand information. I find there is unmistakably the same great swing toward the democratic cause that we both have noticed in the middlewest Almost without exception local com mitteemen greet me with the an nouncement that during the last three weeks the so-called silent vote has been changing to an outspoken democratic vote. They tell me re publican after republican Is aligning himself in support of you, almost in variably on account of their convic tion that the league of nations must be sustained and that your election is the only possible way this can be done." Movie Production Meant To' Influence Votes Washington, Oct. 24. B. M. Ba ruch of New York, filed a sworn statement with the clerk of the house, recording an agreement be tween himself and the Harry Levy Serive corporation to produce a mov ing picture version of the story "Uncle Sam of Freedom Ridge." He said he had advanced $35,UUU toward expenses of the production and had signified his willingness to advance $14,000 more. i Mr. Baruch said that while the story was written long before the campaign, it was calculated "to in fluence votes for representatives to congress, who believe in the adop tion of the league of nations. Charge Trade Commission Is Working Against Smoot Salt Lake City, Oct. 24. Charges that the federal trade commission was introducing evidence without the issues calculated to help defeat United States Senator Reed Smoot for re-election were made here in connection with the commission in vestigation of the Utah, Idaho and Amalgamated Sugar company. Next War More Destructive Than Last, Baker Declares ' Denver, Oct 24. The next war will be "more destructive and more deadly than the last," declared Sec retary Baker, in appealing to a Den ver audience to support Governor Cox in order to obtain entrance of the United States into the league of nations. ; . PeaceTreaty Ratified. Warsaw. Oct 23. The diet has unamimously ratified the Polish- Kussian preliminary peace treaty signed recently at Riga. ' i Wilson, Not Cox, Real Candidate, Says Hughes (Continued From Tug One.) agreed as to the meaning and suf ficiency of the democratic platform.' President Wilson announced he found that he and Governor Cox were 'absolutely as one with regard to the great issue of the league of nations. "There is still a valiant old guard which, in spite of a complete dem onstration as to what article 10 means, and its antagonism to our most fundamental principles, are de termined to resist to.the last, the as saults of clearest reasoning. They say that Mr. Wilson did not insist on the agreement without change. They also assert that Mr. Cox is willing to accept reservations. Wilson's Position Clear. "What is meant when it is said that Mr. Wilson did not insist on the covenant without change? It is meant simply that Mr. Wilson was willing to agree to reservations or interpretations, which did not affect the substance or true import of the covenant contained in article 10 a the issue remains precisely the same, for the republican party objects to the covenant in substance as he sub mitted it, and especially because that covenant contained in article 10, a provision vicious in its substance and true import Is it meant that Mr. Wilson was willing to agree to res ervations which eliminated the obli- f ation to be assumed by article 10? f so, to use their own mode of ex pression, the assertion is false, de monstrably false. Mr. Wilson's letter to Senator Hitchcock as late as March 8, 1920, clearly states his position beyond any possibility of cavil. Did this let ter state that Mr. Wilson was willing to accept a reservation which in any way impaired the obligation to be assumed under article 10? Not at all. He stated the exact contrary. "The president has recently said there is nothing in the covenant 'which in the least interferes with, or impairs the right of congress to de clare war, or not to declare war, ac cording to its own independent judg ment, as our constitution provides.' I confess that were this statement not over his signature I should find it difficult to credit it." King of Automobile Thieves Is Fatally Wounded by Officer Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bea Leased Wire.

William . Allen Leet, more famil iarly known jm Omaha as "Billy," ha taken unto himself a third wife, it became known here yesterday. News that the wealthy young club man, amateur motor racer and globe trotter, whose jeeentric escapades have made his name known from coast to coast, had married again, was brought to Omaha by Dr. P. J. Connolly, who returned last week from Shanghai, China. Let and his bride returned from a honeymoon tour of the Orient on the same boat which brought Dr. Connolly. The steamer docked in Vancouver a week ago. Minneapolis Girl. Leet told Dr. Connolly that Mrs. Leet number 3 was a former Minne apolis girl, whom he met for the first time when he was in the army. Accompanied bv a valet and a truckload of trunks Leet left Omaha last May on his trip to the Orient. At the time it was reported he in tended to marry a Minneapolis girl, but these rumors brought only laughs of derision from "Billy," and remained unverified until yesterday. Mr. and i Mrs. Leet went straight from Vancouver to Florida, where they expect to pass'the winter, Dr. Connolly said. Leet is 24. , His first wife was Miss Ann Robertson of Omaha, a sister oi Mrs. Fred Hamilton. They were married in 1915. They were divorced in Carroll, la., November 30, 1917, and the Omaha girl was given $45,000 in alimony. Shot Self in Frisco. In December, 1919, Leet was mar ried to Miss Martha Ruddy of Au rora, 111. They were divorced in San Francisco last spring after Leet had added another touching episode to his career by shooting himself on the threshhold of his wife's apartment in an exclusive San Fran cisco apartment house. He succeeded in inflicting only a flesh wound upon himself and his dramatic effort to win back his wife's affections failed utterly. , The identity of Mrs. Leet No. 3 is unknown. The only information vouchsafed by young Leet to Dr. Connolly was that his bride was a Minneapolis girl. Inquiries in Min neapolis last night failed to produce results. Place of the marriage also is unknown. X i 3 Whafs all Mb talk abom Crifnpka?

Looking' at I I I ill i i vr-sy i i tt i Holding a Husband Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife The Greeting Holly Lodge Gave Madge. At the reappearance of the driver of the mysterious closed car, which had so gripped my frightened curi osity upon the night of our arrival in Cedar Crest, there rushed again over me the fears and tremors which the knowledge of Grace Draper's presence in the little hamlet had brought me. I had been assured by Major urantland that she had left the place, that there was no more dan ger from her, but here, almost with in reaching distance of my hand, was the driver of the vehicle in which I believed she had followed us from the station on the night of cur arrival. That she had been be hind trfose shrouding curtains I was certain as I was that she had left some message with the driver for me. Grantland Rouses Suspicion. Common sense tried to tell me that such a theory was wildly pre posterous, but so many times in my lite nave my common sense and my fantastic premonitions clashed, with the results justifying the forebod ings, that I naturally discount the comparatively few times when my fears have proved unfounded. So it was that when Major Grantland turned to me, after shaking hands with my father and Dicky's mother, I felt that the hand I put in his was both trembling and icy. He looked keenly at me, and the clasp of his hand over mine was so warm and protecting that I felt a breath uf reassurance blow over my fears. As he released my hand, he, by seeming accident, dropped a handkerchief, stooped quickly to re cover it, and as he rose, murmured o that no one else could hear him; "Remember, I'm attending to him." . . There was no adjuration not to be frightened. I realized that he had given me the assurance he wished me to have in the fewest words possible, and I felt the color come back to my cheeks, the cour age to my heart at the thought that so indomitable and faithful a friend was watching the man whom I sud denly feared, as I did any one con nected in any manner with the beau tiful, evil girl who had brought so much terror and misery into my life I saw in the next moment, how ever, that if Dicky had not heard the words Major Grantland had uttered, he had seen through the subterfuge of the dropped handkerchief, and knew that the army officer had said something intended for my ear alone. I saw his chin lift itself, a trick of his when angry, and saw his wrathful eyes fastened upon my rB 1liiniiiiniiii.ilillinii.iiMM.,.,.... face, which I felt to myhorror, was flushing crimson. But I knew that he would say nothing concerning the incident when others were present, although 1 would be fairly certain to hear of it the first time we were alone. A Stately Lady. So I gathered, courage to slip into place beside my father as Dicky escorted his mother up the steps to where a portly and pompous old colored butler, whom 1 instinctively knew as the owner of the voice I had heard over the telephone, was bowing as ceremoniously and ob sequiously as his palpably rheumatic joints would allow. With an adroitness born"of long custom he separated my mother-in law and me from my father and Dicky, waved us into the care of an other uniformed man, who. in his turn bowed us up a staircase leading to an upper hall of the house, where a trim little maid, her dusky face one broad smile, took our wraps and hovered around Mother Graham and me until she had satisfied herself that every detail of our costumes was in place. I had no time to linger over the room, which gave me a Meeting ltn pression of old mahogany and rose wood that I knew must be practical ly pricolors; and of chintezs, faded with aire, vet of rare texture and pattern. But as I followed my motner-in-Iaw out of the room I re solved to seek the earliest oppor tunity of following Leila through this house, so redolent of the times that have fled forever, save for the few remnants clutched in such de termined yet fast-slipping old hands as those of Miss Dora raixe. There was anything but lmper- manence, however, about that dear old Iadv s appearance as, when the old butler had announced us sonor ously at the door of a great drawing room, she advanced to meet us re- solendent in gray , and lavender gown trimmed witn lace wmcn would make any woirian who knew laces arrind her teeth with impotent " . a tit envy, a few rare old jewels at her ears and throat, and glittering in her white hair. , "Welcome to Hollv Lodge!" ihe said with such impressive gracious ness that I felt almost like courtsy ing to her as one, would to a queen, I was sure that despite her short statue, nothing more royal had ever graced a throne.

Chiracs Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Washington, D. C, Oct 24. The 1920 political campaign has cost, to October 21, about $3,920,115, accord ing to incomplete statements filed to to date with the clerk of the house of representatives. If the average expenditure is main tained until the close of the polls on November 2, it is figured that about $15,000,000 wilt have to be accounted for in reports to be submitted. What expenditures made in the elections will total actually, can be surmised only. It has been placed at double the amount of reported ex penditures. This year the estimate would be $30,000,000. If there is added to this fund what is spent by friends of candidates and by in dividuals interested, the grand total might well reach $100,000,000. - ' The reported contributions and expenditures received by the clerk of . i i e . tne nuusc 01 representatives.
