chairs, sea air and 'the wonders of
Paris will fail to dim the visions of
gay parades, carnival dances, flutter
ing banners and special trains, all
frequent incidents in their campaigns.
For never' was a political election
conducted with more vim and vigor
than The Bee's Good Will contest.
Admits Lump in Throat.
One demure candidate admitted
that she already feels a lump in her
throat at the thought of leaving her
friends, who toiled in her behalf, be
hind her.
None of the candidates has been
abroad before, ' ''
"I I'm simply flabergasted at the
bigness of the whole campaign," ex
claimed Miss Nellie B. Donn, who
polled such a large vote that she is
likely to be named official head of
the "entire delegation. ' " ' ' ,
Miss Donn continued: I cant
help having a deep feeling of pride
that the Union Pacific has shown
such magnificent generosity, in the
worthy cause for which the contest
stands. Our success is due to the
loyalty of every Union Pacific em
ploye and his friends, and is just
?nother demonstration of the Union
Pacific spirit. I only wish I could
thank every one of them personally.
May Be Smallest One.
Miss Donn resides with her mother
and grandfather at 4317 Barker, ave
nue. She is small of stature and
laughingly said she supposed she win
he the smallest in . the delegation.
Miss Donn has been with the Union
Pacific for 11 years and is now - chiet
clerk- in the Union Pacific family
league and pension board. She con
tributes to the support of her motner.
Paul Rigdon, Miss Donns cam
paign manager, said: V,'
"One object of our endeavors in
this Good Will contest was to dem
onstrate that Cart Gray's crowd is
mighty hard to; beat. But it is , a
much greater satisfaction to us to
know and acknowledge with appre
ciation the cordial sympathy which
exists between the Union Pacmc and
its patrons. To all we extend our
heartiest thanks."
Can't Express Gratitude,
s So many things happened during
the campaign of Miss Kathrme
O'Brien, Burlington candidate, who
not only proved a dangerous com
petitor for Miss Donn but chained
more votes than the winner of any
similar campaign held elsewhere,
that Miss O'Brien threw up her
hands in despair when asked to tell
about them. V - . ..
"No. I've never been abroad, said

- "If a fairy prince , had appeared
and invited , me to go to France on
a magic carpet, my surprise and de
light could have been no greater,"
Thus did Miss Irene Rice of Al
liance, Neb., candidate of the Alliance
Times in The Bee's Good Will elec
tion, express herself, after recovering
from her surprise when notified she
was one of the winners.
Misi Rice is a former Omaha girl.
When her parents moved to Alliance
she accompanied them. For the last
two years she has been employed In
the general superintendent's office at
the Burlington railroad station there.
Miss Rice obtained many votes,
but they didn't pile up as rapidly as
those of the Omaha candidates. Hers
was a -smaller organization; there
weren't so many votes to be had. It
was then Miss Rice decided to sacri
fice her own 'ambition to loyalty to
the Burlington. . - i
"I couldn't see any chance of win

"The day before the contest
closed I was told there was a chance
eight girls might win the trip to
France. I was in eighth place, and
I had one day to make sure of hold

s "Yes, it's very wonderful. Miss
O'Brien telegraphed me her con

Ak-Sar-Ben Tag
Day
in Omaha
Next Thursday
Den Show WKl Open Monday
Evening, May 29 Si'mson ;
Makes Appeal ior;
v Members''
, . , - ,
Next Thursday Omaha will have
a unique tag day.
It will be unique in that solicitors
will be men, their prey will be men
and the necessary pittance for es
cape will be a $10 It'll.
For on that day 200 members of
Ak-Sar-Ben. will be out in force, be
ginning at 9:30, to corral new mem
bers for the realm of Quivera, and
only the display of .the little green
and yellow button, blazing allegi
ance to King Ak, can save their
quarry from extraction of the neces
sary 10 iron men. '
This will be the last opportunity
to eet into Nebraska's greatest
booster organization without suffer
ing the initiation tricks at the Lien.
The first Den show of the season
will be held one week from tomor
row night, Monday,' May 29.
"Of the original 554 members ot
Ak-Sar-Ben," says Charles Gardner,
Samson of the order, "there are per
haps 50 men in Omaha and Council
Bluffs now who have been members
every year since leys.
Demands Grow Yearly. .
"Ak-Sar-Ben has grown with the
city, with the middle west, but each
year more , demands are made on
Ak-sar-Ben and more members are
required each year to provide money
and entertainment for Omaha's
guests. :
lwenty-nve years ago, when vis
itors to Omaha were compelled to
depend upon train schedules or the
horse and buggy for transportation,
there were not so many visitors, but
now in the day of improved railroad
transportation thousands of men
come each year to the Ak-Sar-Ben
Den to be entertained by Quivera's
royal actors.
"In 1921 there were 8,580 men
from all parts of the United States
who visited the royal Den;, 6,637 of
these came from Omaha's immedi
ate trade territory in Iowa and Ne
braska. '
10,000 Are Expected.
"In 1922 Samson experts fully 10,
000 guests., ' ,
"To entertain these men properly
Ak-Sar-Ben requires a large mem
bership. Omaha cannot afford to
have these men come to Omaha and
not receive the customary royal en
tertainment passed out by his majes
ty, King Ak-Sar-Ben."

The report of committee on Sab
bath observance, which condemned

without dissent. Rev. George A.
Hill, Crawfordsville, Ind., introdued
a supplementary resolution to "dis
courage the use of the automobile
on the Sabbath, except for attendance
at Sabbath services and works of
mercy." '
Several noes at once came from

feated' the resolution by laying it on
the table was carried by a rising

Rev. H, L. Bowlby, general secre
tary of the Lord's Day Alliance, ex
pressed faith in the good intentions
of Will Hays, movie authority and
Presbyterian elder, to clean up the
movies, but declared war on movies
whether or not Hays acted.
"While we have faith in Mr. Hays
as a Presbyterian elder," said Rev.
Mr. Bowlby, "we are waiting to see
what he is able to put across. How
ever, if the movies don't clean up for
six days -in the week and clear out
on the seventh day, the sword is
unsheathed and we will fight the
commercialized movie trust to a finish.

By Tha Amrlatcd Vrnt. '
Chicago, May 20. Winifred Hudi
nut, whose marriage to Rodolph Va
lentino in Mexicali, Mexico, has re
sulted in charges of bigamy against
the moving picture star, reached
Chicago today, en route to her home ,
in New York with a pledge of love
for Valentino on her lips and tears
in her eyes when she heard the latest
news of the screen idol.
All the way on her long trip from
the west she steadfastly refused to
discuss the case with scores of news
paper reporters who boarded the
train at almost every station, but at 4;
the last moment, when someone sug-.,
gested tha.t her silence might reJlVv'
in misjudgment of , Valentino "ini.
asked her if she loved him, her lips .
formed one word "forever." Then
she resumed her attitude of silence. 1
- Persons on the train said she told
them she would "never, never leave
Rodolph," and planned to return to
him, but Miss Hudnut herself would'
say nothing , to this effect to re
porters. 'Sends Nine Messages.
Miss Hudnut sent Valentino nine
telegrams and a special delivery let
ter during the trip here. She receiv
ed 12 telegrams from him. All were
couched in terms of endearment, such
phrases as "bushels of love." "don't '
worry, everything will be all right,"
"love you so much," "God take cars,
of you," and "your darling sweet-
heart," predominated in the wires
sent and received by her.
To several she signed the word
"Bambino," instead of her name. It
is Italian for sweetheart, . :
Miss Hudnut's only companion '
was a Pekinese dog which rode in
the baggage car. Traveling under
the name of "Winifred Shaughnes
sy," she rode in an ordinary lower
birth, but' made no attempt to con
ceal her identity when reporters ask
ed her if she was "Mrs. Valentino.''
