These three words sum the life of Frank Orren Lowden, of Illinois, who, po- 3 litical sharps prediet, may be in a position to make a deter- ‘mined fight for the Republican presidential nomination when convention opens next Summer. Lowden is sixty-seven years of age, but more vigorous than iny who are fifteen years younger. Possibly he inherits his 1 from his father, who was a countryside black- Pullman car family. His wealth war partially founded upon his organiza- tion of two now famous business cor- h porations—the Natlonal Biscuit Com pany and the American Radiator Company. Lowden always has shown his tarm er tendencies, His farm for breed ing Holsteln cows is one of the larg | est and best equipped In America. He lives on a 600-acre estate, with his own tennis courts and golf llnkl.' RICHEST GOVERNOR. Lowden is the wealthiest governor that Illinols ever had.

It is like a cur- tain lifting to have the scenery gradually unfold before our eyes,” Mr. Mumbrue declared. He expects Mrs. Mumbrue to ar- rive next week on the steamer Queen, to remain here for a month, while he completes his field work, and hopes to return to Montana with her late in October. ——————— Deputy Marshal J.

The fourth tank was missing. The other three contained large quantities of gasoline, The engine body was evidently torn from the wings, leaving mno trace of the control cockpit, except one lever and a speaking tube. The undercarriage and left wheel were fairly com- plete but the wing supports are a tangled mass of stays, giving evidence of boisterous weather existing since the disaster.” ' YERS REACH TOKYO TOKYO, Sept. 14. — Ignoring protests, Pilots Brock and Schlee, who arrived here today from Omura in the globe-trotter Pride of Detroit, reiterated gheirinten- tion of flying to Midway Island.

DINNER Lamb Stew, New Vegetables String Beans | COSGRAVE ASKSI FOR GLEAR CUT DECISION TODAY Irish Election in Progress and President Asks for Undiluted Majority DUBLIN, Sept. 14—The various Irish constituencies are voting for members of the Dail, the Irish Free State Parliament, to- day throughout the Nation. While various parties have candidates for the suffrage of the voters, the contest is much more of a duel between President Cosgrave and his Government on the one side and Bamon De Valera and his Fianna Fail on the other than was the case in the election last spring. In closing the campaign last night, President Cosgrave appeal ed to the electors for a clear decision. It declared that it is necessary for the welfare of the country. He declared that the fate of the Irish Free State was the issue, and the opponents of the Constitution had rejected free- dom because they had not framed it themselves. In the last election there were seven parties represented in the election—five of them favorable to the Free State and two—the Fianna Fail and Sinn Fein against it. Those supporting the Free State were the Government, Farmer, Independent, Labor ana Nationalist. The provision in the Constitu- tion for minority representation makes the results, as far as varty representatiton are concern- ed, uncertain. President Cosgrave, however, hopes to secure a work- ing majority for the Governme:t Party. which had only a fow more members than the Fianna Fail in the Dail recently dissolved by Lieut-Gov. Healy at the re- quest of President Cosgrave. iy g BRANT IN PORT The U. 8. Bureau of Fisherles boat Brant, Capt.
