OHIO POLITICAL POT
IN WASHINGTON IS
BO|L|NGFOR HARMON
Lieutenant Governor Hugh
Nichols Among Boomers
Here.

Some of Ohios most astute political
managers are now in charge of the
Presidential boom of Governor Judson
Ha rmOn, which was formally launched
here yesterday.
Hugh Nichols, lieutenant governor of
Ohio, in Washington for the purpose Of
completing an organization to promote
the candidacy of Governor Harmon.
though young in years. has been a
steady and sure climber in politics. He
was a State senator before becoming
chairman of the Democratic executive
committee in Ohio.
Opens Headquarters.
The day after Governor Harmon's re-
election last fan. Nichols opened Har-
mon Presidential headquarters in Gin
Cinnati. He was busy promoting the
Harmon candidacy at Democratic
State convention in Michigan when Gov
ernor Harmon appointed him lieutenant
governor to succeed Atlee Pomerene,
who had been elected TO the Senate.
In the event of Harmon's nomination
for the Presidency, Nichols will become
governor of Ohio.
Nichols home is in Clermont county,
the birthplace of Gen. L. S. Grant.
Clermont county also sent Thomas Nor
ris. once a Presidential possibility. to
the Senate, and was also the home of
John NJ Pattison, former Representa-
tive and later governor. The county
also gave to the nation Gen. Henry c.
Corbin.
Senator Pomerene Aids.
Associated with Nichols in promoting
the candidacy Of Harmon are Senator
Pomerene and Representative Matt r.
Denver. All Democratic members Of the
Ohio delegation in Congress, have their
coats off, for Harmon.
The fact that Representative Denver
has thrice carried a Republican district
by a plurality larger than the usual
Republican plurality, mas naturally
placed him in the limelight as a prob
able nominee for governor. Denver
didn't want to come to Congress the
last time. but the Democrats of the dis
trict laSsoed him and forced him into
the running. The usual Denver good
fortune followed and, as result, he is
probably the only man in Congress who
came against his will.
Verify. the Ohio political pot is boil
ing in Washington.

PANAMA POKER.


The rumor to the effect that the
great game Of poker has been Suppress
ed at Panama is interesting. 1t was
not generally known in the United
States that the national game had
found a foothold in the land where the
big ditch is under way. Major Goe-
thals is said to be back of the edict by
which the game has been placed under
a ban. He explains that the men lose
their money--and that discomfort re-
suits. However. watch the result of
the poker lid at Panama. 1t seems
that none but the most venturesome
class of men would undertake to make
the trip to the isthmus with the hone of
finding congenial work The man who
does not cultivate the acquaintance of
the gods of chance would be pretty
likely to remain at home If it was
the love of adventure which took most
Of the Panama workers into the far
south--it need surprise nobody if they
lay down their shovels-if the lonely
nights are not to be frightened by the
rattle of chips-and the voice of the
man who stands pat-or who drops
out.

THAT BAKERY COMBINATION.

Announcement of combination OF
bread bakeries In various cities. with
an aggregate capitalization OF over
b30.000,00o, is decidedly interesting
1t time when so many combinations
are alleged to be in restraint of trade
and are under court investigation.
Statements made about the bakers
combination are evidently framed with
the purpose of showing IT to be not
In violation Of the Sherman act. In
the first place. the combination in
eludes only one bakery in each of a
score of eastern citses-etiefly in New
England.
The organizers believe that this fea-
tlIre puts them ou+ of tire class OF
undesirable combinations. AS the bak-
cries are all bread rakerios-and
bread is a commodity which does not
enter largely into interstate trade
there will probably nor be much agita-

N. 0. CORN GROWING.

When County Superintendent Het-
Ter of the Trail county schools, some
years ago, started a corn contest for
the pupils of the rural schools--he in
augurated something big. The agri-
cultural college had urged the pro-
position for some years with little CO.
operation. When Heller broke into the
game other county superintendent
followed suit. AS a result the move
ment has become state-w wide.
The youngsters demonstrated to their
elders that the plan would work and
some of the corn was so good-old
time farmers were compelled to admit
there were a few wrinkles they didn't
understand
This acknowledgement with the
public spirit shown by the First Ma
tional bank of Fargo. in offering 81, 900
in cash prizes-has given the corn
growing movement in North Dakota a
great impetus. other banks joined
with offers Of local cash prizes ana
there is scarcely a county in the state
that hasn't planted an increased acre
age over last year. The crop looks
well and able estimators insist the
total acreage Of the state this year will
be about $4,000 to $4,000.
The growth of interest in the corn
crop is most encouraging movement
in many respects. 1t especially graft
fles the advocates of diversificatioi..
1t insures crop rotation and the cultl-
walton Of at least portion of the farm
each year This means a big forward
step in the elimination of weeds. The
soil gets chance to rest up. A crop
Of corn well cultivated rests the land
as well as summer following and it has
the advantage of leaving the soil clear
las well as getting returns that much
more than pay for the cultivation.
The success of the corn in the last
two or three years shows the folly OF
the one-crop idea. 1t demonstrates to
the farmers the possibility of getting
away from the exclusive wheat crop.
1t furnishes feed stl'ffs for live stock
that will almost compel the corn grow

crop are large-when sold in beef cat

Tales Of the Street

Hon. Frank E. Ployhar of Valley
City, chairman of the house committee
that is investigating the office of the
state treasurer, prompted by the Bick-
ford troubles last winter, was in the
city the other day attending to some
matters with one of his expert account
ants concerning the investigation.
During the evening he took in the
Orpheum theatre and it so happened
he occupied seat directly In front of
U. s. Marshall James Shea. The bill
at the Orpheum was an interesting one,
but it did not prevent the marshall
trained eye from noting a white thread
dangling from under the coat Of Mr..
Ployhar.
He reached for it and found to his
surprise that the travelling was longer
than it looked. However, 1t is not the
marshaPs habit to do anything by
halves and as he had started to remove
the thread, he kept on pulling. thinking
that 1t would stop in second.
After getting handful, then a wad
as big as your fist, Marshal Shea made
the raveling into a ball--and kept on
pulling and winding. And all this time
the Valley City representative was sub
timely innocent of what was going on
as he was deeply absorbed in the show.
When the end of the string was finally
reached the marshal heaved a sigh Of
relief and tossed the ball Of yarn under
his seat, thinking he had done Mr..
Ployhar quite a favor In removing
something that might have caused
comment on the street later.
The next day in the hotel, Mr.. PIoy-
har came down to breakfast with a
puzzled expression on his face. Some
one at the table avho had seen him at
the theatre the night before asked him
how he liked the show.
1T was alright" he answered, but
do you know the most unaccountable
thing happened to me last night?
Honestly don't know how it happened,
but sometime during the show l lost
my union suit"
