Harding's Stand
On Pardoning Men

Senator's Position Regarding

pressed in Omaha, Hit.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington, Ost. 12.-That SEN
ator Harding's stand on the pardon
ing of prisoners convicted of crimes
against the government has greatly
strengthened him, is the opinion OF
the Republican Publicity association.
'In none of his other utterances,"
said the association, "has Senator
Harding commended him self more
strongly to the good sense OF the
American people than in his remarks
at Omaha on the subject OF pro.
posed general amnesty 20 political
prisoners Senator Harding said: I
have been asked many times during
this campaign, whether would grant
general amnesty, as it is called to
political prisoners. My answer, I
trust, is clear. / would not.
"On this, as on other subjects,
Harding goes straight to the po.nt
and is unevasive. He makes no bid
for the I. w. w. vote. He holds out
no hope to the anarchist He gives
no slight encouragement to the Sc.
ditionist. He is for enforcement OF
1aw-law founded upon Justice and
rerpetuation of orderly government.
"Mr. Harding's statement is not a
declaration that he favors punish
ment of all who may be imprls oned
on charge of crime against the
government. He specifically says, If
there are political prisoners who are
being punished unjustfy, l shall
want to take immediate action to
restore justice to such men and
women, precisely as / wish to give

there will be no mercy for the man

To Meet Cabinet Officials.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Oct. 12-Threats of
strike of agricultural producers,
demands for the prosecution of
members Of the federal reserve
board, and attacks upon all the gov
ernment officials responsible for the
administration of the financial sys-
tenn of the country, were discussed
at a meeting held here today, for
discussion of the credit situation.
Those in attendance at the con-
ference in the offices of the Nation
al Board of Farm Organizations,
included cotton producers. wheat
growers, tobacco raisers., live stock
men and other groups of producers.
The cotton men, however. who were
instrumental in circulating the call
for the meeting among Is different
agricultural organizations, dominated
the session and kept their own par
ticular Problems in the foreground
OF the discussion.
The conference attempted to ar
range for a hearing before Presi-
dent Wilson, members of his cab
met, and the federal reserve board.
A committee composed OF Senators
Overnan of North Carolina. and
Harris of Georgia, visited the White
House in an effort to arrange for
such conference, but failed to
reach the president. The committee
obtained promise, however. that an
audience would be granted before a
number of cabinet officials and the

The cotton producers and the
northern wheat growers failed to

Eof South Carolina for advocating
that farmers curtail production and
withhold their crops from the market
until satisfactory prices could he OBJ

Thomas Meighan, Leading Player

THOMAS MEIGHAN, whose wonderful
success in George Loane fuckers SUI
perb production of "The Miracle Man." and
in Cecil B. De Miles remarkable Para
mount Aircraft special picture 'Mae and
Female" has placed him in the front rank
of screen players, has another splendid role
in "The Prince Chap" William De Mile
production, which offers the popular young
actor splendid opportunities for that quail
ity of characterization for which he has
become famous.
Mr.. Meighan is more than ordinarily
gifted. He has not only histrionic ability
OF high order, but he possesses also that
personal charm which endears him to the
millions of screen patrons He has a
CHEEKY, warm-hearted, wholesome person
atty which has won him his enormous pop-
ularity with the great public. He loves
children, and is therefore in his element in
"The Prince Chap" where youngsters ap-
pear in many of the scenes with him. His
latest Characterization is likely to rank
with his other recent roles in point of pub
lie favor and dramatic strength.

Mr.. De Mile excells in high comedy and
thus in "The Prince Chap" which combines
some particularly pleasing and exceedingly
human comedy with strain Of pathos
which ultimately leads through crossed
roads to happiness, he finds himself in his
