While the stgte sena- didates against Senator France is di- |torial and congressional delegations minishing, and the candidacy of Ed-|were indorsed as republicans there is much dissatisfaction with the present Congress. This has been voiced at all of the county conventions and at the Cbehalis session. The Smith-Mc- Nary bill delay is causing a great deal of this unrest, as well as the persistent hammering on the bill from some of the ex-service men who are using it as a means of getting into the political spotlight. Senatorial Situation Quiet. The senatorial situation has quieted down after ten days of unusual ac- tivity. The same is true of the con- gressional campaigns. This is largely due to the state con- vention. and the fact that several prospective candidates are awaiting action at Chehalis before formally shying their hats into the ring, ward C. Carrington, the former Bull Moose leader of Maryland, was never taken seriously by any of the party leaders. Mr. Garrett, it is said, would not be averse to becoming a candi- date, but has still to develop enough support to make his candidacy worth while. And Representative Hill, his friends say, has too much to risk, be- ing fairly sure of re-election to Con- gress from his district, by venturing into a primary contest which might not turn out in hig favor. and might, therefore, leave him without any of- fice in Washington.

Soul |a petition, BANKIG S5 Non-Partisan league Forces Line Up Determined Fight in November.- SIOUX FALLS, §. D, June 10.— Already the opposing hosts in South Dakota are preparing to fight to a finish at the polls in November. The proposed law for the establishment of “the Bank of South Dakota” is being backed by the South Dakota branch of the Natfonal Farmers’ Non- partisan League, which had the mat- ter called to a vote by Initiating a law designed to authorize such a bank, this action being taken under provisions of the initiative and refer- endum amendment to the state con- stitution. The initiativ b the last legislature was compelled to submit the proposed law to the voters. Backers of the proposed measure claim it will take the farmers of South Dakota “from the grip of the money kings” and place the finan- cial affairs of the cities, countles and the state in the hands of the people. | thus giving the people control of the money accumulated in the state. Some of the non-partisan league sup- porters contend that the Bank of South Dakota would be a panacea for all the evils within the state in & financial way. The proposed law providing for establishment of the Bank of South Dakota is created somewhat on the lines of the North Dakota statute which provided for the Bank of North Dakota. The workings of the Bank of North Dakota were much in the public eye a few months ago, when more than two score of the banks in North Dakota fafled. Financial Interests Seered. Non-partisan league members criti- cize the means that have been em- ployed by the present financial insti- tutions of South Dakota to preserve South Dakota from bankruptcy dur- ing the period of post-war recon struction, and. notwithstanding the disastrous experiment made in the state of North Dakota with a similar institution, the support of men who are willing to undergo any part of experiment as a means of expressing their animosity toward existing finan- cial institutions is being sought. The proposed law provides for the establishment of the industrial com- mission of South Dakota, which shall consist of the governor, the attorney general and the state auditor. To this commiasion shall be assigned the duty, responsibility and power to operate, manage and control the Bank of South Dakota. The proposed law provides that the capital of the Bank of South Dakota shall be $2,000,000, which amount shall be secured by the sale of bonds of the state of South Dakota in that amount. These bonds shall be pay- able in not less than ten nor more than thirty years from the date of the adoption of the law. They shall bear interest not te exceed § per cent, pavable semi-annually, and shall be exempt from all state, county and municipal taxes of all kinds. Those opposing the proposed law assert that should the state of South Dakota sell its bonds in the open market and with the funds so secured establish the capital of the Bank of South Dakota. which institution would then solicit deposits, and with the deposits so secured repurchase from the original purchasers the bank bonds of South Dakota, there would be an institution without capital, but with fmmediate liabili- ties. the failure to meet which would mean to South Dakota just what the failure of the Bank of North Dakota to meet its obligations meant to North Dakota—ruined credit. Backing of State. It is admitted by opponents of the measure that the credit of the state would be behind the bank to the ex- tent of the state bonds held by the banks, but, they contend, it would be a credit that would not become avail- able through collection of bonds for the period of not less than ten or more than thirty vears. It is argued by these that the difficulty experienced by the Bank of North Dakota in disposing of the bonds issued for its bank should witness enough to the voters of th Dakota of what difficuity they wouid encounter should they in times of financial stress such as South Da. Jiota and other states have experi- enced quring the past two years attempt to sell in the open market the bonds held by the Bank of South Dakota in order to realize_on the capital, so called, of the Bank of South Dakota, It is asserted that the history of every financial insti- tution in the United States which has permitted and practiced accepting notes and bonds for capital stock has been one of failure. The proposed law makes provision lfor taxing the people to provide for eflcit in the payment of interest :l‘]‘le":'lk bonds which shall be sold for capital. The state tax commission is made responsible for levying a gen- eral tax, in the same manner in Which other taxes are levied, for the purpese of paying the interest on Phese bonds. This. opponents of the measure declare, is a confession of the framers of the proposed law that they fear in advance that the Bank of South Dakota might be a failure. 1t is provided by the proposed law that upon petition of 30 per cent of the electors of any city, and within three months after the flling of such the Bank of South Dakota 1ish a branch i:‘l?nlk !3(;?(&‘[ City. t may also establish s :v‘rla’nchl bank in any city without peti- tion of the electors.

BISMARCK, N. D., June 10.—Repre- sentative O..B. Burtness of the first North Dakota district is the first of the North Dakota representative to return for the primary campaign, the ballotinig taking place June 28. Mr. Burtness is opposed for renomination by P. A. Moeller, a railroad man, in- dorsed by the Non-Partisan League. The representative is expected to be renominated, as the league has not been able to carry the first district since John Baer was defeated in 1920. George M. Young, representative from the second district, and J. H. Sinclair, representative from the third district, are due to spend some time in the staie before the election. Senator Porter J. McCumber may not make an active personal cam- paign. He has informed friends he doubts If he can get away from Wash- ington to iwike an extensive fight. Benator McCumber's stock has im- proved materfally in the last two weeks, although former Gov. Lynn J. Frazier, indorsed by the non-parti- ans, is ‘making a vigorous speaking campaign, and some enemlies of Sen- ator McCumber are supporting Orms- by McHarg, with hope of defeating the senator. Should Senator McCum- ber lose in the primary, the anti-Non- Partisan League organization s ex- pected to try and elect J. E. T. O'Con- nor, democrat, in the fall. WOMEN PROBLEM OF HOOSIER G. 0.P. Non - Partisan-Labor Party Indorses Democrat Sen- ate Nominee. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 10.—The place that women will have in the republican state organization is one of the problems that has been worry- ing party leaders during the last week. It was thought the question would be taken up Friday of this week at a meeting of the state com- mittee, but Lawrence Lyons, repub- lican state chairman, called off the meeting because he was called to Washington. Some members of the party believe | there should be a separate bureau for jthe work of the women in the cam- paign. Others, and, it is said, this number includes some of the closest friends of Albert J. Beveridge, nomi- nee for united States senator, believe the women should be taken directly into the organization even to the extent of naming a woman as vice chairman of the state executive com- | mittee. Democrats Recognize Women. In the democratic party there is a woman member of the state commit- tee and a woman candidate for Con- gress in the thirteenth district. Cam- ipalgns usually begin eariy in In- diana, but this vear the start seems to come a littlé earlier than usual. It has been only a week or so since | the two leading parties completed their state conventions, but organi- zation work is now in full sway and Samuel M. Ralston, the democratic nominee for the United States Sen- ate. has already made une speech out in ‘the state. Both Mr. Ralston and Mr. Beveridge, the republican nomi- lee, were at Greencastle this week. Mr. Beveridge to attend a meting of his fratrnity and Mr. Ralston to at- tend the graduation of his daughter from Depauw University. Mr. Ralston has been indorsed by the non - partisan - labor action com- mittee of Indiana. This is a commit- tee that was organized on the sug- gestion of Samuel Gompers. Mem- bers of the committe say their action will influence farmers who are dis- pleased with the manner in which Mr. Beveridge criticized the farm bloc in his primary campaign speech. week in a speech at the meeting, of jthe National Association of Credit Men when he said: “We have men like Beverldge and Ralston in Indi- ana. and we also have Jim Watson, and we would like to give you him for the presidency.” Some of the po- {litical wiseacres read a great deal of i significance into Shank's remark, say- ing that he was laying his lines for the governorship ~nomination jwished to get in the campaign with | Watson early. Both political parties are going to bat in the campaign with platforms that are alike in a good many respects. Both had a some- what similar declaration in regard to the state utility commission, each de- claring that the utility law should be abolished if it could not be ad- ministered in a manner beneficial to the people. Quick action on the part of Gov. McCray at the last minute was all that prevented the republican plat- form from condemning the present tax law. and former member of the ture, will continue his fight to abolish cer- tain state commissions, even though the democratic state platform does not declare in favor of such aetion. An attempt by Mr. Spencer and his friends to get his views Into the plat- form was defeated on the floor of the state convention. HODGES.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 10.—Two distinct surprises marked the close of the perlod for entries for nomina- tion in the Ohio primary election, one on the republican side and the other on the democratic, but neither is like- 1y to affect the result materially. One was the filing of a declaration by Judge James Johnson of the supreme court of his candidacy for nomina- tion for governor by the democrat: and the other the declaration of for- mer United States Senator Charles Dick of Akron for nomination by the republicans for return to the Senate in place of Senator Atlee Pomerene. Once Preferred Judgeship. Judge Johnson had been discussed as a candidate for the gubernatorial inomination by the democrats and fa- vorably considered, but at that time party leaders still hoped that former Gov. Judson Harmon might be induced to lead the party again. Two months ago Judge Johnson sald to his friends that it was too late for him to enter as a candidate for the nomination for governor, and he would ask to be re- nominated for the supreme bench. His entrance at the last minute is credited to former Secretary of War N. D. Baker, at the head of the Cuya- hoga oganization, who was known to be dissatisfied with both Industrial Commissioner Thomas J. Duffy and former State Auditor A. V. Donahey. Immediately upon Judge Johnson's entrance into the contest his candi- dacy was formally indorsed by the organization at Cleveland. Judge Johnson's ability and fitness for the office of governor are gen- erally admitted, but impartial judges of politics believe he delayed enter- ing the contest too long; that Dona- hey has too much lead to be over- come, and that the entrance of Judge Johnson will simply mean that the anti-Donahey elemént of the party will be divided between Duffy and the judge, making Donahey’s nomination all the more probable. Another G. O. P. Candidate. In 2ddition to former Senator Dick, former Lieut. Gov. J. H. Arnold of Columbus has entered for the repub- lican nomination for United States senator against Dr. . D. Fess. Arnold is an insurance man, who was nominated unexpectedly for lieuten- ant governor eight years ago through a fortuitous arrangement of candi- dacles and the influence of a frater- nal organization of which he is & Jmember. He has on several occasions xince then texted his strength in pri- ,mary elections without showing any notable influence with the voters. Gen. Dick, once a very prominent factor in republican politics in Ohio under the regime of McKinley and Hanna, has been out of the game =0 long that it is difficult to see from what source he could draw sufficient strength to make a mark in the con- test. Arnold’s vote is expected to be negligible. and Dick's not much greater: so that the nogination of Mr. Fess would Seem 10 be pretty well indicated. Soldier Vote Claimed. State Senator Arthur Day of Cleve- land, who is a candidate for the re- publican nomination for governor, has been attracting no little attention re- {cently because of the claim of his friends that he will receive practi- cally the solid vote of the Qhio world war soldiers. He was an officer in that_service and was the author of the law under which the Ohio sol- diers have just been paid their bonus. Their organizations have quite gen- erally indorsed him. There were 243000 world from Ohio, most of whom still jin the state. There were only 3 ivotes cast in the republican state pri- | mary two vears ago, but women did not have the vote at that time. H Last-Moment Entries. Last-moment entries _for the state {primaries on the democratic side were ; {A. P. Sandles for governor and for- {mer Representative John J. Lentz for Tnited States senator. Sandles, for-| Imer state secretary of agriculture, is strong with the farmers and will cut! imaterially from the rural sirength of ! ! Donahey, who is admittedly weak in | | the cities. and may result in his de- | {feat by Judge Johnson. 1 | Lentz opposed Pomerene for the! senatorial nomination six years ago. | He is not looked upon as a winner | now, and his_entrance means only that Senator Pomerene will have op- | position. The candidacy of Representative €. L. Knight for governor, it is gen- erally belicved here, will help Col. Carmi A. Thompson. Reaction Against Administration. The repeated manifestation of re- action Against the administration wing of the party in the primary elec- tions in other states has been used by some here as a basis for the predic- tion that the candidates known to have the favor of the administration will suffer severe cuts in the pri-| maries. This would adversely affect Col. Carmi A. Thompson. as he is: {generally looked upon as the choice {of President Harding, though the! ! President has neither said nor done lanything to warrant it. The con tion is a little different in Ol what it was in Indiana, Pennsy and Iowa, for it was quite evident; that many of the most prominent members of the progressive mov !ment here back in 1912 were really| at heart reactionaries, and merely | boarded the progressi band wagon | as opportunists, This was by no means true of all of them, but it is! true of those who are prominently back in the republican party again. View of the Experts. The best judges of political rnndi-i tions here do mot ook for such n‘-] sults in the Ohlo primary election. At the moment the most threatening | i i l war soldiers sent out live fecture of the campaign as seen from the standpoint of the candidacy of Col. Thompson is the soldier vote pull of Senator Day of Cleveland. The probability is that jockeving will set in within the next week to Nave some of the many candidates for | the republican nomination for gov- ! ermor withdrawn in the interest of others before the time for withdrawal | expires, and this work may have de- | [ cided effect on the result of the pri- | |mary election.
