In the hectic latter ks of the epochal presidential campaign of 1924 it begins to appear that the outcome will be influenced very much along the lines of the campaign of 1896, by a contest between the conservative and the radical thought of the country which controlled the result at the polls in that year. | There is this marked difference between the two campaigns. In 1896 there single issue, sound money against fiat moncy. Now ther added issues, radi- calism, near sovietism, government control of public utilities and pub- lic resources; an ugly scandal in national administration and finally | a proposed change in the Consti- tution of the United States and ap- peals to class, religious and race feeling.

BY G. GOULD LINCOL OMAHA, Nebr, October 11.—The famous triangular duel of Mr. Mid- ipman Easy isn't a patch on the fight being waged in the State of Nebraska today between Republicans, Democrats and Independent Progres- sives for the eight electoral votes of the State. Unlike many other States, tha voting strength of the three parties is fairly even today, so even, in fact, that neutral observers and even partisans admit “that almost anything can happen.” The situa- tion, however, fs constantly shifting and a canvass of sentiment here shows it to be shifting in favor of President Coolidge. The probabilities are: That Coolidge and Dawes will get the electoral vote. That Senator Norris, will be re-electeq. That the Democratic nominee for governor, J. N. Norton, will be elected. | Republican, State Normally Republican. bra accounted by poli- ticians in the various camps as nor- mally a Republican State—perhaps by 40.000 votes. That in itself i an asset to the Republican part) the Independent Progressive ticket draws from the two old parties to an equal degree, the Republicans are left at least stronger than the Demo- crats. Another asset of the Republicans, | which comes to them through an act of Providence rather than through any virtue of their own, is the bet- ter prices for wheat, corn and other farm products, and the good crops Even the frost, it appears, is siding with | Coolidge, and has held off in Nebraska until the corn crop could mature. The better conditions of the agricul- turists—and _agriculture is the great industry of the State reflected in the results of the bank call an- nounced here today. The total de- posits of the eight national banks of Omaha showed an increase of $10,000,000 in round figures over those of June 30. The loans of the banks are scarcely one-half the amount of the deposits. The farmers are able to save and to purchasé out of their returns. Swing of Farmers. Two polls recently completed indi- cate the swing toward Coolidge. One was made in the stock yards, where farmers come with their cattle to sell. It covered a six-day period, ending October 8, and showed the following preference of the farmers i La Follette, 312; Cool- idge, 308, and Davis, 270. A similar poll made early in July showed the following results:. La Follette, 164; Coolidge, 73, and Davis, 26.

By the Associated Press, BERLIN, October 11.—The Russian newspaper Rul, printed in Berlin, pub- lished the statement today that Soviet Ambassador Krestingky is handling the sale of 330 pounds of diamonds which were confiscated by the Soviet government and which are being sold through agents in Paris, New York and London. It is stated that a large number of diamonds are being smuggled into the United States through Canada by woman employes. According to the Russian newspaper, the diamonds which are for sale are held in the Kremlin at Moscow and are released only on the signatures of five mem- bers of the political bureau of the Communist party. The Rul declares that the interna- tional jewelers and diamond mer- chants “are uneasy concerning the jewels in Soviet hands and that the Belgian and Dutch chambers of com- merce have already boycotted gems bought from Soviet agents. Negotia- tions are in progress, it is said, to effect a similar boycott throughout the world. The quantity of dia- monds in the possession of the Soviet is so great, the Rul estimates, that it il foqhre a- decade to senl. them unless they are sacrificed. G. O. P.

J. Heinz Co., gathered at banquets In various cities to celebrate the anniversary ot the founding of the business, as the “true and practical ideal” wished by the Government. The supremacy of the Government has been the main motive dominating the economic and political develop- ment of recent years, he said, adding that it has brought the pubiic inter- est into the equation of modern in- dustrial and commercial relations. But the Government, Mr. Cooildge declared, prefers to let business Ko its own way, “so long as that 1s the | vight way; so long as it is the way | of honest and genuine service to tne | real public interest.” ‘The Govern- ment, he continued, must be the servant “of the public welfare and the creation of an informed and sea- soned public opinion.” Privilege Cannot Coatrol. “It cannot be dominated by any privilege,” the President warned, “it cannot be subservient to any private advantage. It must always represent the publicc. With the hearty sym- pathy of both business and the peo- ple, we have made a long advance toward such a standard. There are encouraging signs of readiness to go farther on the same way. The Gov- rament will surely be prepared to give all encouragement in such a program. Kor, by these methods only shall we bring about a proper bal- ance; a secure and lasting adjustment of thewupreme individual interest by | bringing it into harmony with the highest consideration of the national welfare.” The people of America will keep control, and ownership of their prop- erty, Mr. Coolidge insisted, “as a preliminary to the maintenance of their supremacy over their Govern- ment.” “They know,” he added, “that when the Government begins to own prop- erty it begins to own people. They want all these powers in their own hands.” Public Interest First. It is the firm policy of the American people, the President declared, to in- sist that “business forms and meth- 0ds shall be subordinated to the pub- lic interest.” In this regard, he said, public authority as represented by the Government has taken up the at- titude of “moderation and reasonable- ness in dealing with these difficult and complex problems.” “Laws aimed at curbing and regu- lating monopolies have beéen employ- ed for control and regulation, not de- struction,” Ne eéxplained. *“It is no part of public policy, as the Ameri- can people. now conceive it, to tear down legitimate and useful business.” Exemplifying the changed _attitude of the public and Interest in their new relations is the changed policy toward consolidations in railroads, Mr. Cool- idge sald. Pointing out that the pub- lic has now sanctioned a consolida- tion in the gailroads by act of Con- gress, by compulsion if necessary, he {declared “there is gratifying indica- tion that this new program is going to be accepted and put into. effect without resort to compulsion.” This disposition 4 £ that Presi- 1 | WITH DAILY EVENING EDITION SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, D C, FIRST PLAN DRAWN FORFAANM. SHRINE ONTEMPLE HEIGHTS Group of Six Beautiful Build- ings Overlooking Wash- ington Projected. PROPOSALS PRESENTED BEFORE GRAND LODGE Will Now Be Taken Up by Vari- ous Branches of Order for Definite Action. The first detailed plan for the pro- | posed united Masonic Temple that is to be raised on Temple Heights as the shrine of Masonry in Washington was presented last night to the Grand Lodge of the District of Co- lumbia, convened in special session for the express purpose of recelv- ing the report from a committee of prominent architects appointed some months ago. Although a mere suggestion, a ten- tative proposal showing what can be done with the beautiful old Dean estate, at the conjunction of Connec- ticut avenue and Columbia road, which was purchased as the site for such a temple, the report of the com- mittee marks another definite step toward realization of the dream that has been cherished by Free Masons for decades.

Rush Marshall, one of the best known chitects in this count Pierson, prominent in the we firm of Pierson & Wilson, and Percy L Balch. a well known architect in the service of the Government.

The six buildings would be con- structed arcund a beautiful plaza. Approaching them from the front could be the Scottish Rite Cathedral, symbolizing in architecture the rites of that “way"; another the Temple of the Commandery, the home of the ancient Knight Temp'ar and of the senting those who have passed the first seven degrees on the road to the degree of the Rose Croix. Just across the plaza might rise first the home of the Order of the Eastern Star and next to it a beau- tiful auditorium, which mizht be used to serve other than Masonic purposes when occasion arose. He- side the auditorium might be the home of the Shrine and the vartous Masonio clubs represented in this city. ‘Home of Blue Lodge. Tbe sixth building would be the home of the Blue Lodge, the mother of Masonry, and as such would oc- cupy the commanding position direct- Iy at the head of the plaza. From its front portals would rise a majestic tower, visible from every part of Washington, beckoning all good brothers and fellows to the sacred rites of the fraternity and pointing in majectic grandeur to that grand lodge, eternal in the heavens, toward which all good Masons strive. In order to-properly present their jdea of such an imposing monument as they visualized, a monument worthy in every detail of the brother- hood it may represent in the Nation's Capital, Mr. Marshall and Mr..Plerson realized that they should have a care- ful model, made to scale, creating their dream of the National Masonic Memorial in miniature. To find a man capable of executing such a mas- terpiece was the first problem in the way of that achievement. . Find Capable Man After a careful search, both arch- itects agreed that the one man cap- able of making the model they wanted was William Partridge, at present in the employ of the Govern- ment. Mr. Partridge is recognized throughout ‘this country and abroad as a genius at such work and he is well known in Washington. As a young man he had his first start in the architectural rooms of Horn- blower & Marshall, of which firm Mr. Marshall was a partner until its dis- solution following the decath of the senfon member. A It soon became apparent to both Mr. Hornblower and Mr. Marshall that the young Partridge was a true genius and they persuaded him to go to Boston, where it would be possible to study more in his line of work.
