Democratic Paper of Dayton
Brands Alleged "Genealogy"
Statement Vilest Roorback .
Ever Found In Politics. ,
Cincinnati, Oct. 30. The Day
ton Journal, a newspaper owned
by Myron T. Herrick, former
United States ambassador to
France, this afternoon made a pub
lic statement regarding the widely
circulated . handbills charging
."negro antecedants" of Senator
Harding.
It is known that even national
democratic committee officials
brand the story as a falsehood,
but the anonymous spread of thf
charge continues rapidly. s ;
The Dayton' Journal, In com
menting on this underground cam
paign, says: i
"To the men and women of
Dayton:
"Thousands upon thousands of
typewritten mimeographed and
even printed statements, usually
.under the head of 'Harding's fam
ily tree' have been distributed at
first in cowardly secrecy, and in
the last few days openly, by men
low down in the, democratic party,
unprincipled heelers and men high
up in the democratic party who
have sunk their standards to the
vert sewers of depravity.
"The time has come, for plain
language. These vile circulars de
clare that Warren G, Harding has
negro blocd in his veins. This is
the vilest plot and conspiracy in
the history of the world wortt
epochs of American politics.
"Unless there is no such thing
as truth in the world; unless there
is no such thing as honesty in the
world; unless there is no tuch
thing as decency in the world, if
our moral standards are not a
sham, then the perpetrators of this
outrage will suffer the everlasting
condemnation of public opinion
within the sacred precincts in
every home m-Amencai
"The answer to this conspiracy,
this-plot, is that its base claims
are a lie.
"Warren G. ' Harding' has the
blood of but one race in his veins
that of the white race the pure
inheritance of a fine line of an
cestors of good men and women.
That is sufficient,

Salvation Army
1 Drive Falls Flat
In City and State
Only $10,000 of Omaha's
$90,000 Quota Raised Up
to Today Results In State ;
Equally Disappointing.
The Salvation Army's "campaign
for funds in Omaha and Nebraska
has fallen far short of Us mark, army
leaders declared yesterday.
The drive, by. which it was planned
to rahe more than $200,000 in this
state, has proved almost an utter
failure in both the city and the state.
Omaha's, quota was set at $90,000
when the drive opened last Mon
day. Not more than $10,000 had
been subscribed up to yesterday.
Results in the state were equally
disappointing. State leaders-, how
ever, believe by prolonging the cam
paign they will be able to reach their
mark, although not more than $15,
000 of the $125,000 has been raised..
To Extend Drive.
Following a consultation Friday,
it has been decided to extend the
drive another week. Some leaders
favored immediate abandonment of
the campaign, but counsel of the
more optimistic prevailed, and it
was decided to carry the drive with
renewed vigor one more week.
Of 10 state campaigns conducted
by the' Salvation Army this year.
only in one . city besides Omaha has
the drive tfallen short of its mark.
That was ' in Pittsburgh where
subscriptions , attained, were only
slightly below the goal.
Lack of Interest
Several reasons ar given for the
failure of ; the drive here. One is
the lack of interest,, which is ex
plained by the proximity of the
election and the , fact that so many
drives for funds have been staged
here together with a lack of under
standing regarding the work .done
by the Salvation Army. .
Reports that 70 per cent of the
money sought here is to be sent to
England were denied by drive lead
ers, who asserted all the money col
lected in Nebraska will be spent
within the state.
To Lap Over Others.
By continuing the drive another
week, tne salvation Army s cam
paign will lap over into a drive
which is to be started by the Young
Women's Christian association Mon
day and the week following the an
nual Ked Cross roll call campaign
will get under way. v
Shortage of, Corn Huskers

Beatrice, Neb., Oct. 30. (Special.)

number ot appncationsi tor corn
huskers are on file in his office, but

than to do farm work.
