Twice Stricken
/ By Fate, Actor
! Plans to Work
ny United Press Leased Wire

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Aug. 3d.
The second great tragedy in Harry
Benefits s life is settling over him
ike dust at sunset. Ns
Uenmtt, an actor, artist and
musician is going blind.
Nature for second time has
thrown physical barrier in his
way.
Years ago, Bennett 8 voice was
stricken in his appearance at the
opening of the 100000 Keith
theatre in Boston.
That eccentrieity of fate was en-
ough to crush an artist standing
near the peak of his career. Not
SO with Bennett. Starting anew he
centered his efforts at the piano
and pipe organ and became thea
tire photoplayer. He has been play
ing in Muskogee's leading theatres
for some time.
Now, the keys of his instrument
are becoming blurred. For him the
sun is setting.
But Bennett is not giving up. His
mind visions travelling minstrel
show. His wife, once known to cir
Gus celebrities as "Ollivette Mar
tin y and famous for her ability in
Roman race riding, will be the
'"eyes.'' Bennett has not forgotten
the trick card performance he learn
ed from a Hindu seer years ago.
Blindfolded, he visions mystifying
his audience by his dexterity with
cards.
When Bennett embarks with his
new venture, the closing chapters
of an adventurous professional life
covering Il period of forty five
wears will begin.

LINCOLN, Nebr,, Aug. 30
Qualification was expressed today
by Charles G. Dawes, Republican
vice presidential candidate with re-
ports of reception Of his. speech
last night on the agricultural prob
lem. Members of the party point
ed out that Dawes made no 'swild
promises" but simply declared there
was problem and that the Republi-
cans would do everything in their
power to restore agriculture to pros
perity., "a 4 M a,az '.a
( Dawes departed from his set
speech momentarily to attack Sena-
tor Robert M. La Toilette, candidate
for president on the Independent
ticket. A large part of the La Fol-
lette following stands behind the
s'red flag he declared.
Today. Dawes and Governor Char
les Bryan, Democratic candidate for
vice president, will meet for few
moments chat. The desire for the
meeting is, mutual, Dawes and Bry-
an told newspapermen.
''We are cd friends and political
differences, never affect sincere
friendship, Dawes said. ~.
Dawes planned to spend quiet
day and depart for Chicago at 4:40
this afternoon. ''
Approximately 10000 persons
were in the new stadium of the
University Of Nebraska to hear
Dawes speech-the opening gun Of
the Republican fight for the votes
of mid western farmers. . aiaft
"What are the flags and what are
the bate alignments in this cam
paign2' Dawes said. 'On the one
side is. President Coolidge, standing
on the constitution of the United
States. f--+I t f.
"sOn the other hand, his chief op-
ronent is, Robert M. La Toilette,
with the red flag unfurled by a
large portion of his following.
"Lying, between those battle
lines, aligned upon an issue which
was made in the hearts and con-
sciences of the American people and
not by platforms, is the Democratic
party, with one conservative and one
radical candidate, trying to straddle
in real fight. -
Makes One Promise n
q Agriculture greatest need,
Dawes said, is for the commission
of experts soon to, meet at the call
of President Coolidge to do for
the farmers what the committee of
experts did for Europe.
"Tbe common sense of proceed
ure which led to settlement of the
difficulties Of Europe should be fol
lowed in the search for the settle
ment of the American agricultural
problems.
'HPhe'most popular means for bid
dug for votes is by promising the
achievement of all that the voters
most earnestly desire. We make
one promise-that the Republican
party, utilizing the best minds, and
those by training best fitted for the
task, will, bend discovery energy to
the study of our agricultural prob-
lem to- the end that, through legis-
latione or other means, it's solution
may betg accomplished. Whoever
promises more than this is entering
