Foreign Advertising Representative
THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION

A nonpartisan meeting was held in
the Twin Cities last week at which
plans were discussed for making an
other fight in Minnesota in the fall.
Several hundred of the faithful were
present, and Townley was in COM
mand.
The matter of financing the cam
paign was brought up, and Townley
informed his audience that he had
decided to call upon one hundred man
in>each county to give $500 each. "If
you aren't willing to give $500 each
to elect your ticket, we don't want
you in the league" said the King.
Townley plans to have the dummy
candidates on the so-called farmer
labor ticket withdraw so that the
Shipsead ticket that was defeated in
the primary may go on the fall bal
lot for another race.
There is an old saying that what
is sauce for the goose is sauce for
the gander, and it looks like Mr..
Townley will have chance to fight
another battle in North Dakota this
fall. Plans are being discussed for
coalition ticket of republicans and
democrats to go against the Social
ist machine this fall here.
In Minnesota the Townleyites were
completely wiped out. In North Da-
kota, despite the advantage of having
the administration, with hundreds of
paid workers, Townley's forces were
badly split. Later election returns
indicate that three of the lTownlev
state candidates were defeated.
Cahill, Walker and Dupuis failed to
land. Tom Hall, Staen and Jack
| Williams came under the wires. With
Christensen and Minnie Nelson sure
winners in the fall, and two anti.
Townlsy congressman nominated, We
didn't do SO bad. Then, with the
horrible drubbing the Towneyites re.
ceived on the referred laws. there is
much forthe independent forces to fee
happy about. Just about one more
fight will drive the socialist bosses
from power.

For years there has been rumors
that Alex. Mckenzie and some of his
old warehouses were backing the
Townleyites "sub-rosa. The re-
cent election brought forth the proof.
A week or SO before election, McKen-
zie called a bunch OF the faithful to
st. Paul for conference. One Of
those present informed the Record
man that the plan then was to inter-
fere in behalf of the league only in
the case on U. s. senator. But the
great Alex himself came to Bismarck
few days before election and threw
every ounce of his energy into the
fight on behalf of the Townley ma
chine. Some of the men who were
formely great friends of Mckenzie
refused to follow his lead, and frank
ly told him SO, and the .Ex-Boss him
self made an individual appeal to Bis
markers whom he imagined he could
control.
The fact that many of the old fol-
lowers of Mckenzie have been Town
ley wheel-horses in late years has con !
WINGED most people of a working
agreement between the Ex-Boss and
New Boss. But this election was
the first to give tangible evidence Of
the cooperation politically of the two.
During the campaign the Record man
also had a chance to hear from the
lips of one Of McKenzie's best work.
ers description Of how in the early
days the Townley speakers bureau
fell down completely so that the
Townlyites had to call upon the, Nc
Cumber organization to advertise the
league speakers-which they did.
And what about the "dear people 2"
One gang is in power. Another
gang comes out to get rid of the old
gang, and does so by making the old
gang a part Of the new gang.

At least ten thousand socialist vot-
ers registered as republicans and a
couple of thousand league employees
were not sufficient to allow Townley
to nominate his entire slate. No
wonder the socialists around the state
house are "down in the mouth" Their
race is about run.

Much Married Man Is
Awaiting Trial on
Charges Of Bigamy

Harry S. Mckay, one or whose
wives secured annulment of her
marriage to him Friday in Dis
trict Judge Troup's court, has left
a trail of matrimony and divorce
that has rarely been equalled, Off
GERS say. He is at present out on
bond of $1,000 awaiting trial on a
charge of bigamy. He is an in
spector for the Employers Liability
Assurance company, 200 Woodmen
of the World building. He now
lives at the Delmar hotel.
So far as the records of the county
attorneys office go, Mckay has had
four wives. If there have been more,
they are not on record.
New features came to light yester-
day. For instance, marriage license
was secured by him at the local coun-
ty court on June %, 1919. to marry
Miss Margaret Fillenworth. But he
did not marry her at that time. The
license was not used. He married
Miss Margaret Fillenworth in St.
Paul, Mimi, August /, 1919. She
was wife No. 3 and her marriage was
annulled Friday by Judge Troup.
Mrs. Fillenworth Mckay refused
yesterday to make any comment on
the marriage or on the first license
secured at the county court here, a
month before her marriage to Nc
Kay in St. Paul. Rev. Titus Lowe
was to have performed the ceremony
here. He is the. minister who on
November 6 married Mckay to Miss
Mary Hazel Milledge of Omaha.

Cayety Homecoming
For Behman Show;
Harry Lander Big Hit

The Gayety theater is celebrating
homecoming this week in present
ing Jack Singers Behman show ir
Putting 1t Over" The Behmar
show was the first burlesque pro-
duction shown at the Gayety over IL
years ago. 1t is now on its 18th an
nual tour.
Harry Lander, the surprising new
comedian, and his laughing elephant
are the hit Of the show. Lander is a
star of the brightest hue and his
tramp character is so different from
others that he made an immediate
hit when he was induced to quit vau-
deville for burlesque.
One of the most humorous scenes
ever presented in burlesque is in the
second act. 1t is the Erie canal and
at the dock is large barge. From
this barge Lander and his brother,
Willie, do a little fishing 1t must
be seen to get even slight appre-
citation Of its novelty and fun.
Jack Singer never sent better
show over the wheel than his latest
effort Seldom has such scenery been
seen on the burlesque stage. The
costumes are also gems of the dress
making art and blend in wonderful
hramony with the scenery. These
costumes are worn by Is girls who
know how to wear them. In addition
to being pretty these girls can sing.
Ameta Pynes is again the leading
woman of the company. She needs
no introduction to burlesque lovers:
She is one of the most graceful
dancers on the stage. and her YAM
pire" and Arabian Night" numbers
won hearty applause. Marie Sparrow
is lust a little better than ever. Her
songs and stories seemed to go over
with more of a bang than ever be-
fore.
Others in the company are Harry
Watson, Frank Zanora, Clarice Law
renee, Bobby Moore, Ada Vamp
West, Elizabeth Rogers, Florence
Atkins and Gladys Owen.

Omahan Reported
Killed on the Russian
Front Arrives Home

Reported killed in action on the
Siberian front by both army and
Red Cross officials. H. Ed Gowen,
former employe of the Omaha &
Council Bluffs Street Railway CON-
pany, surprised his Omaha sweet
heart last week by appearing be-
fore her in person and Gliding her
for not giving him warmer greet
ing than:
"They told me you were dead. Is
this your ghost?"
Gowen is the son of John Gowen
of Lincoln. He enlisted May 3, 1918,
and sailed for Vladivostok with the
3lst infantry several months later.
He was reported seriously wounded
in February, 1919.
When no word arrived concerning
his condition, both his father and
sweetheart appealed to the Red
Cross, which, in June, reported him
killed in action, details unavailable.
He landed in San Francisco, De-
cember 81, and lost no time get
ting to Omaha. After surprising his
sweetheart here, he left for Lincoln
to "shock" his father, and visit
brothers and sisters in South Da-
kota.
His sweetheart, who begged that
her name be withheld from the
newspapers, is employed at Kuenne's
bakery, 504 South Sixteenth street.
He will return to Omaha soon.

In Needless Attacks,
Asserts Gen. Pershing

Washington, Jan. 10.-Charges
made before a house war investi-
eating committee that lives of
American soldiers were wasted in
needless attacks on Armistice day,
are denied in a letter from Gener-
al Pershing made public by Rep
resentative Fuller, republican of
Massachusetts,.
General Pershing said the Amer
mean forces were acting under gen.
eral instructions issued by Marshal
Foch to all allied commanders on
November 9, 1918, and that orders
for attacks were withdrawn as soon
as possible after he was advised
of the signing of the armistice. He
also said statements that American
troops were ordered to the attacks
while French divisions remained
stationary were wholly erroneous"

Maeterlinck May Not
Keep His Engagement
In Omaha on March %

Mrs. Samuel Burns, president OF
the Drama league, said last night
that the league has not yet heard
whether Maurice Maeterlinck, the
Belgian poet, will keep his Omaha
engagement March 26 or not.
"We were surprised to hear that
the Pond Lyceum bureau has broken
the contract with M. Maeterhnck
for series of lectures throughout
the United States" said Mrs. Burns.
1--WE understand this was done be-
cause the Belgian poet was unable
to master the English language
we'll enough to make it understood
by an American audience. OF course,
we would not have him here if he
spoke in any other language than
English. We couldn't fill the Bran
deis theater with people who under
stand French. You have to know
English nowadays to get along"
M. Maeterlinck was to have
spoken here on "The Unknown
Shore" a lecture giving his ideas
about spiritualism.
Mrs. Burns said she expects to
hear this week whether the poet will
come to Omaha.
