2 LEN SMALL, FORMER ILLINOIS. GOVERNOR, IS DEAD IN KANKAKEE Republican Political Power Had Achieved Success in Oth- er Lines, Too Kankakee, Ill., May 18.—(7)—Lead- ers of both major parties Monday ex- Pressed regret at the sudden death of former Gov. Len Small, a power in Mlinois Republican ranks since the turn of the century. Small, 73, who earned the sobriquet, “The hard roads governor” because 7,000 miles of highways were con- structed during his two terms as chief executive, died Sunday in St. Mary’s hospital from an embolism. Although Small achieved success as farmer, banker, publisher and busi- ness man, his activities in those lines were overshadowed by his political career. Twice Elected Governor He was twice elected governor of Tilinois, serving eight years, and dur- ing his incumbency was defendant in two extended trials instituted by the state on charges of withholding funds while he was state treasurer. On a‘criminal charge of withhold- ing approximately $1,000,000 in in- terest collections, the governor was acquitted, but a civil suit Yor an ac- counting was decided against him. After an unsuccessful appeal to the state supreme court he paid the state more than $600,000 in settlement. Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago was a strong supporter of Governor Small during his first term. Later they split and for several years were political enemies. They patched up their differences and in Small's last gubernatorial campaign, Thomp- son cast his lot with the governor in an effort to strengthen his own city and county organizations. Was Son of Doctor Governor Small was born on a farm near Kankakee June 16, 1862, the son of Dr. A. L. Small, a country phy- siclan. Christened Lennington, he ab- breviated his name to Len, by which he always was known. At the age of 18 he became his father’s partner in the operation of their farm. Two years after he purchased 16 acres of his own, which became the nucleus of his 600-acre estate. In 1883 Mr. Small married Miss Ida Moore of. Kankakee.

Mrs. Small died shortly after her husband had been acquitted of the criminal charges, the former governor attributing her death to the Strain of the trial, On his farm the former governor specialized in raising rhubarb, . of which he was one of the largest ship- pers in the country. He also raised pure bred livestock and operated an extensive orchard and nursery. YOUNG POLITICOS ENGAGE IN BATTLE Nonpartisans Split Over State Issues; Hoghaug Tenders His Resignation Meeting here Sunday a group of ‘Young Nonpartisan League adherents re-elected James Brastrup of Court- enay as president and accepted the resignation of Phil Hoghaug, Devils Lake, as treasurer. The split came over the issue of who should be en- dorsed by the group for governor, Brastrup and his group supporting ‘William Langer and Hoghaug taking a stand for Gov. Walter Welford. The session, which was attended by only a few persons, will not affect Hoghaug’s position as the leader of the Young Republicans in the state, an organization apart from the Non- partisan group. Officers named with ‘Brastrup were William Woell, Cassel- ton, secretary, and Miss Victoria Wil- berding, Dickinson, treasurer. Speak- ers in addition to Langer were W. E. Hoopes, Carrington; Elwood Eck and R. H. Walker, Bismarck. The Welford faction of the Nonpartisan League apparently paid no attention to the meeting. The group endorsed Langer and this ticket and demanded that U. 8. Senator Lynn J. Frazier and Con- jgressmen William Lemke and Usher L, Burdick support him, a thing they have refused to do to date. |_Resolutions attacked Senator Ger- jald P. Nye, demanded that the state sales tax be made a “full replace- ment tax,” endorsed the Frazier Lemke farm refinance bill, deplored “usurpation of state rights,” endorsed the League Against War and Fascism, condemned agricultural imports, at- tacked “the needless squandering of state funds” and demanded the dis- charge of “unnecessary state em- + Before the Ice Age, the Columbia iriver flowed against the eastern base of the Cascade range, of Washington.

J., May 18.—(4)—In- jection of Gov. Harold G. Hoffman's intervention in the Bruno Hauptmann case as an issue heightened interest Monday in Tuesday's presidential preference primary test between forces of Alf M, Landon and William E. Borah. Making the Hauptmann case his only issue, Franklin W. Fort fought the governor for one of four places as delegate-at-large to the Repub- lican national convention. O. D. Keep, Fort’s campaign man- ager, charged that although Fort was assured of election, defeat of Hoff- man was not sure because of a “deal” between Hoffman and Frank Hague, state Democratic leader, “which calls for the casting by machine Democrats, voting as one-day Republicans, of at least 25,000 ‘bullet’ votes for Hoff- man.” Keep calléd on Republicans to vote for a full slate of four in the field of five, marking their ballots for all but Hoffman, lest one of the non- combatant candidates become the beaten one. Both Hoffman and Fort are pledged to Landon. Bracketed with Former Ambassador Walter E. Edge, Mrs. Edna B. Conk- lin, national committeewoman, and Edward D. Duffield, Newark insur- ance executive, as the four candidates for delegate-at-large having Repub- lican state organization support, the governor fought to finish first. Neither Governor Landon nor Sen- ator Borah formally entered the New Jersey presidential preference pri- mary, but supporters posted their names and delegate slates in almost all the state’s 14 congressional dis- tricts, On the Democratic side, Henry T. Breckinridge, legal adviser to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, ran in the pres- idential primary unopposed, but the Democratic state organization of Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City was running delegates to their na- tional convention pledged to President. Roosevelt. Kaylor Balks Return To Face Minot Count North Dakota authorities to return him to Minot, N. D., when he obtained release from custody on a writ of habeas corpus issued by Circuit Judge John 8. Combs. Gov. J. M. Futrell ordered Kaylor’s extradition Friday on petition of Sheriff R. L. Dierdorff and County Attorney Robert W. Palda.of Ward county, North Dakota. They charged Kaylor with obtaining $897 on a fraudulent check drawn on the Union National bank at Minot last Febru- ary. The complaint was lodged against him by H. Alberta. Shieriff Dierdorff and Palda said they would not contest the habeas corpus action at present but would return to North Dakota immediately. Kaylor testified before Judge Combs that he was in partnership with another man in the liquor busi- ness and that the money he secured on the check belonged to the partner- ship, representing what he had put into the business. Judge Combs ruled that the affidavit and complaint did not constitute a charge against Kay- lor.

Mayors Favor STRUTZ IS ELECTED Continuance of WPA SUPERINTENDENT IN Still Plenty of Useful Work to Be Done in State, Civic Officials Agree Mayors of cities, towns and villages in North Dakota are nearly unanim- ous in the belief that destitute un- employed persons want work rather than grocery and clothing orders, Paul 8. Bliss, administrative assist- ant of the Works Progress adminis- tration, said Saturday. Answering a questionnaire sent to the governmental unit heads, the ‘mayors also responded that the com- munities will not run out of WPA tasks, Bliss stated. The mayors were asked three ques- tions: Whether the unemployed want work or the dole? Are projects car- ried on by WPA useful? Is there use- ful work yet to be done under a con- tinued WPA program? “The were unanimous in stating that the work being done is useful,” Bliss said. “Bringing to bear lists of things that need to be done, the mayors state conclusively that no one needs to worry about running out.” Cites Great Widening Many of the mayors, including Mayor A. P. Lenhart of Bismarck, de- clare street widening alone would keep hundreds busy indefinitely, Bliss stated. Dr. C. A. Durkee, chairman of the council of Abercrombie, answered that village had many projects in view. “In our village of Abercrombie,” Dr. Durkee said, “we have a high school building that is falling down and a sewer to finish. Streets need to be gravelled and old Fort Abercrombie should be rebuilt as it is one of the most historical spots in the north- west.” “We have plenty of necessary and useful work yet to be done under a continued WPA program,” answered E. G. Bruegger, mayor of Williston. Russell Needs Well Frank Fischer of Russell said “there is a lot of useful work yet to be done. This community is badly in need of a well.” Other comments, cluded: Mayor A. W. Miller of Tolley—“Yes, any amount of work yet to be done. I hope to see WPA continue.” Mayor Casper Jensen, Westhope— “Useful projects can be continued for ” Bliss said, in- Mayor Cherles G. Kops, Lawton— ere is no limit to the amount of useful civic work to be done yet. Our ‘The village needs better drainage and sidewalks.” Devils Lake Delighted Mayor Harry E. McHugh, Devils 'Lake—“We are all delighted with the WPA projects. For example we have @ magnificent swimming pool, tennis courts, and baseball and football fields all beautifully landscaped, ‘where formerly there was an unsight- ly city dump. We want to move the city abattoir which is municipally owned, out to the incinerator, thus using the heat from the incinerator for abattoir purposes, and thus cut- ting down the expense of carrying the debris from the abattoir to the in- cinerator. This is just one of the things we have in mind.” Mayor L. E. Mahoney of Columbus —‘There still remains a lot of work to be done. Mayor C. E.
