HARVEST FIELDS
Of NEBRASKA ARE
FREEFR0M REDS
American Legion Drives Out
Radical Elements, Special
Correspondent of The
Bee Finds.
By ARTHUR M. EVANS.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.

Hastings, Neb., July 29.-This
year !. w. W'ism has practically
vanished from the harvest fields of
Kansas and Nebraska. Radicals
and disturbers who formerly were
a source of great>tssuble to the
farmers. were drivcn out before they
began their workAlhd in this house
cleaning the former service men
were the great factor. At labor
distributing points the American
Legion opened harvest billets" to
take care of the thousands of hands
as they poured into. the state.
In Hutchinson, for instance, the
legion opened the convention hall
and put in cots, writing tables and
offered baths and recreations, places
for men The Jungle" as the "wob-
blies" used to term the old condi-
tons under which the harvest hands
generally lived, disappeared and
never were the men so we'll taken
care of. 1t removed the discomfort
which the radicals i'll former years
found such a fertile field for their
preachings of unrest.
Also, the floating army" this
time is made up of finer class of
workers than usual. AT least one
half of them are former service
men. Many are farm hands from
adjoining states who came in for
the rush season. Many are college
boys, and a large. number are men
who went from the farm to the
cities and are now beating it back
to nature. The farmers are still
talking of it.
Fine Bunch in Kansas.
Kansas never had such a fine
bunch of harvest lads BEFORE" said
a large operator at Great Bend.
This time 90 per cent used their
forks. In other years 90 per cent
used their knives, and it used to
be an army of sword swal1owers.
A small thing, but it tells the story.

UPDIKE TQ.SELL
ALL ELEVATORS
IN SMALL TOWNS
Explains Action in Asking Cam
collation. of Public Ware
house Licenses.

Lincoln, Neb.. July 29.-(Special.) }
The Updike Grain Co. of Omaha,
which recently asked the state rail
way commission to cancel several
public warehouse licenses which it
held for elevators at various points
of the state, has written the COM
mission a letter explaining its rea-
son for such action. 1t states:
"We are canceling our licenses
as public warehousemen at country
points for the reason that we are
disposing of our country elevators,
selling them to local grain dealers
and TO farmers. We at one time
had about 100 elevators in Nebras-
ka, while at the present time we
have only 10, and they are all Of
fered for sale at reasonable prices.
1t would interfere with the sale if
we had grain stored in them for
others.
1T is our opinion, and always has
been that everyone who stores grain
for the public should take out
licenses and Become warehouseinen.
Our terminal elevators at Omaha
and other points are open to the pub
lie andswe are very glad, to throw
them open for storage Of grain and
always expect to as long as ave
operate them. OF course, storing
grain at a terminal market and at a
country point are entirely different
propositions. Some elevator men. and
this includes some farmers eleva-
tors, fell that they should not store
for the public and they have good
arguments on their side, but this is
matter of opinion. All people han-
ding grain will never be able
to agree on any one system"

Prohibition Starts
Rumpus ir Meeting Of
Democratic Women

Lincoln, Neb., July 29.I(SpeciaD
What are the requisites of demo-
crat? This is the monkey wrench
that was thrown into the wheels of
the Women's Democratic league
here.
A resolution wassoffered at meet
ing of the league Thursday favor
ing the election of all democratic
candidates. Storm signals were i'm
mediately hoisted and a heated bat
tie was waged. Members of the as
sociation favorable to prohibition
baked on endorsing any candidates
who were liberal in their views on
the liquor subject.
Mrs. T. ]. Doyle. president of the
league, threw bombshell when she
rendered her resignation. She ex-
planned her action on the sgrounds
that it was her supposition that the
organization was really demo-
cratic body and that she would sup
port the entire ticket. From re-
marks made at the meeting. she sid.
it was plainly evident that all mem
bers did not have her views and she
would resign. She was backed ii,
her stand by Mrs. George R. Mann,
secretary. who also resigned.

Former Secretary Of Treasury
And Runnerup at Frisco to
Stump Country in Behalf Of
Democratic Nominee.
PLANS TO WAGE WAR ON
LARGE EXPENDITURES
Warns the Public He Will Not
Stand for a "Purchased
Presidency" and Urges Full
Publicity on Expenses.

New York, July 29:-William g.,
McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury and candidate at San
Francisco for the democratic nomi-
nation for president announced to-
day that he had consented to de-
liver some speeches i'll behalf Of
Governor Cox, the party's nominee,
during what he said, would be a
vigorous and aggressive campaign.
In a statement issued after con-
terence with George White. chair
man of the democratic national COM
nlittee and Governor Cox's secre-
tary, held at Mr.. McAdoo's home
,ast night, Mr.. McAdoo warned the
people would not stand for pur-
chased presidency and urged that
the spot light OF p,tiless publicity be
.urned on campaign expenses dur
ing the forthcoming campaign.
Excerpt of Statement.
Mr.. McAdoo's statement in part
10! !lows:
a vigorous and aggressive cam
paign will be undertaken, and no ef-
fort will be spared to make the leo-
pie of the country acquainted not
alone with Governor Cox's progress
sive ideas and purposes, but to in
form them of the exceptional record
made by the democratic administra-
ton under President Wilson during
the last seven years.
"The formidable campaign fund
Under control of the republican ma
t,onal committee and its serious
menace in the forthcoming cam
paign were discussed.
/, IF the senate investigating ccrn
r1ittee, of which Senator Kenyon of
Iowa is chairman, does its full duty
it will hold frequent sessions
throughout the campaign and inves-
tigate fearlessly the sources from
which is drawn the money to finance
both the republican and democratic
parties and the manner in which the
money is expended.
Easy to Evade Law.
1T is easy for contributors ard
political commi<ees to evade the
1eQefal corrupt pIdOt1CeS law. Every
subterfuge such as subscriptions in
the names of dummies and to state
committees instead of to national
committees, advertising by private
individuals or syndicates, SO as to
avoid accounting to the federal au-
.horities must be brought into the
spotlight OF pitiless publicity. The
PEOPLE will not stand for purchased
presidency.
Governor Cox stands for clean
election, for full and pitiless pub
licity of campaign contributions and
their uses, for progressive policies
and the league of nations. The
democratic platform and party offer
the only refuge for the liberal and
progressive elemsnts of the country
and for, those who believe gin uni
versal disarmament and the preven-
ton of war through an honorable
association of the nations which will
substitute arbitration for military
forces in the settlement of interna-
tional disputes"
