COL. ALBERT A. SPRAGUE,
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
FOR UNITED STATES SENA-
TOR, WILL BE HoNORED
WITH A LUNCHEON BY THE
VETERANS OF THE WORLD
WAR FOR DEMOCRACY

A committee of FIVE representing
1,500 disabled veterans of the World
War-men under disqualification and
rehabilitation in the Chicago district
called on Col A. A. Sprague, commits
sioner Of public works, and Demo
cratic nominee for United States sena-
tor, Wednesday, and announced a
testimonial luncheon in his honor
would be held in the Cameo Room Of
the Morrison Hotel, Friday, October
18th.
All of the men on the committee
are overseas men who wear decora-
tons of the different governments of
the allied armies for bravery in action.
All of them were wounded in service.
They are Michael Cullen, member
Of the 13lst Infantry, wearer Of the
Distinguished Service Cross; H. w.
Atkinson, who holds the Congression-
al Medal Of Honor and nine medals
from other nations; Charles d. Brad

father Of the Democratic nominee and
chairman of the committee on resolu-
tons, reported the platform to the
convention, a long debate ensued.
Colonel John II. McGraw, for many
years Democratic national committee
man, reciting that he was opposed to
the incorporation Of the two planks in
the platform, moved for their recon-
mitment for further consideration BY
the committee. The motion prevailed
After several hours of strife in the
committee room the committee again
reported favorably the two resolu-
tons. Another gruelling battle was
waged on the floor Of the convention.
Chairman Davis made final appeal
for the adoption Of the resolutions and
they were inserted in the platform by
a vote of 71O to 412. In this debate
the father of the Democratic nominee
was a striking figure. More than 20
years of age, straight as young sap
ling, with flowing white hair and
beard, the venerable committee chair
man made one Of the greatest efforts
of political career that began with
the formation of his state and ended
with his death few years later.
The delegates which John w. Davis
corralled for Hodges for the guber-
material nomination were almost a
unit for the adoption of the two
planks. Monongalia county, the home
OF Hodges, voted solidly for the reso-
lutions.
The plank which proposed the dis
reimbursement Of the Negroes reads:
Believing that the extension Of the
elective franchise to a race inferior in
intelligence and without preparation for
the wise and prudent exercise Of a
privilege 50 vital to the maintenance
Of good government, was a mistake if
not a crime, committed by the Repub-
lican party during the reign Of passion
and prejudice following the Civil war,
for political ends and purposes, we de-
clare the Democratic party is in favor
of amending the constitution SO as to
preserve the purity Of the ballot and
the electorate Of the state from the
evil results from comforting such
powers and privileges upon those who
are untitled to appreciate its impor-
lance as it affects the stability and
preservation Of good government"
The plank proposing separate
coaches reads:
"We favor enactment Of a law re-
curing common carriers engaged in
passenger traffic to furnish separate
coaches or compartments for white
and colored passengers"

veteran, who holds the French Croix

French medals.
1t is expected that Hon Robert M.
Sweitzer, who is one Of the most pop
ular public officials in this city or
county and one of its wisest and
smoothest politicians, will be among
the distinguished guests and furnish
some of the oratory.

Rum Flow
Into i. S. Is
on Increase
Coast Guard Reports l58
Smuggling Vessels Operating
Heaviest Shipments
From Scotland.
5 Per Cent Intercepted

Washington, Feb. 21.-Liquor
smuggling has increased greatly in
recent months and the rum fleets op-
Grating in water adjacent to Ameri'
can coasts have grown TO a strength
of 15S vessels, 1t was revealed today
by the United States coast guard.
Within the last three months oi
1923, figures show, the amount Of
whisky shipped here from Scotland
alone, Is estimated at 415,703 gallons
in bulk and 26,755 cases.
Shipments OF whisky from Europe
since January. 1929, according to the
coast guard, amounted to 104.241
cases, in addition to 1895 gallons
in bulk.
From Canada, 57.s65 cases were
tabulated, while from Miquelon. the
shipments were 5000 cases.
The coast guard estimates it had
only been able to intercept per
cent of this Illicit trade.
The figures were obtained by a
study of responsibility of which has
been thrown on the coast guard in
stopping rum smuggling.
President Coolidge has recon-
mended that the guard be given a
supplemental appropriation of s13,-
853,9s9 to meet the situation.
Rum ships stand off strategic
points such as New York. Long
Island Sound, Delaware and Chesa-
peake bays. along the Florida coast
and off the mouth OF the Mississippi
river. There also has been much
smuggling not SO well tabulated, on
the Pacific coast.

Contractors
Hold Caucus
to Fix Prices
Collusion Of Rates Expected
to Result in All Bids
Being Thrown
Out.

Paving bids have been SUBJ
mitted for the city's first 1924
allotments that plainly indi-
cate collusion among paving
contractors.
At the same time that the figures
shown In these bids became available
II was learned that there had recently
been a meeting OF number of paw.
ing contractors In a downtown hotel
at which work was parcelled out and
prices were agreed upon. y
Low Bid From "Outsidcr."
The lowest bid submitted was s2.5s
per square yard. This bid was pre-.
sented by a contractor who was not
present at the frame.up meeting.
Bids submitted by those contractors
at the meeting showed the lowest bid
to be s2.75.
Because OF this collusion and lacE
OF real competitive. bidding. all bids
undoubtedly will be thrown out and
a saving of many Thousands of dol
lars secured for the city.
Contractors interviewed by The
Omaha Bee today advised that there
had been no increase In wages and
no boost in the price of materials to
Justify a bid OF even ss.53.
During 1923 bids for asphaltic con
crete were let for a total OF 252 900
yards at cost OF $4,000. or an
average Of $2.15 yard.

sailants today with a threat to take
to the country his fight to retain his
place in the cabinet.
II the senate. he said, already had
convicted him without hearing and on
"insinuations and falsehoods" nothing
remained for him but to plead his
cause before the bar of public opinion.
The attorney generals challenge
was issued after it had been disclosed
that the oil committee was investi-
eating a report that he had dealt in
Sinclair oil stock
This report. brought to Washington
by special investigator. not only has
been laid before the committee. but
also has been called to the attention
of President Coolidge by Chairman
Lenroot and other administration
leaders in the senate
In his public statement, which took
the form OF an open letter to Senator
Pepper. republican. Pennsylvania.
Daugherty made no specific mention
of the reported oil stock transactions
or of any OF the individual charges
made public against him. Instead he
declared in general terms that some
senator's were denying him constitu-
tio1al privileges which are accorded
the basest criminal"
The letter was written 10 Senate,
Pepper in response TO a note which
the senator sent to him late yester-
day after, he and Senator Lodge had
urged upon President Coolidge the re-
tirement Of Daugherty-
Pepper Refuses Comment.
Senator Pepper said in a statement
tonight that he had sent his note to
Yhe attorney general after he left the
White House because IL had occurred
to aim that perhaps in performing ian
unfortunate duty" he had been in
the position OF saying something
about man behind his back" He
added that he did not regard his
communication as requiring q reply
and he refused to comment on
Daugherty's letter.
