The members of the Minnesota Edu-
cational Association at a business
meeting in the Minneapolis Audi
forum recently voted to effect a dis
solution of the association as legal
corporation and to reorganize as an
unincorporated body. The action is
generally regarded as victory of the
teachers as against the superintend-
ents. The present officers will hold
over until the next annual meeting in
st. Paul in December. A committee
was appointed by President James to
formulate the plan for dissolution and
to effect a reorganization of an unin-
corporated body.

CARTER HARRISON WILL
OPPOSE CHARLES MERRIAM.
Former Mayor Dunno Gave His Win
ming Competitor Close Race
for Democratic Nomination,

Chicago, March 1.--Charles Merri-
am, professor of political economy at
the University of Chicago was the
choice of the Republican primaries to-
day to oppose Carter H. Harrison,
four times former mayor, Democratic
nominee in the race for the mayoral-
ty. Harrison was chosen after close
fight. In the Republican primaries
Professor Merriam polled vote
which almost equalled the combined
vote of his four Republican oppo-
nents.
The following is the final count of
the 1924 precincts.
Democrats-Harrison, $1,000; Gra-
ham, 1854; Dunno, 53,513.
Republicans - Merriam, 54,22S;
Schully, 1910; Thompson, 26,10S;
Murray, 1928; Smulski, 25,167, Mer-
riam is member of the city council
and gained publicity by a commission
which investigated the city purchas-
ing system.
His Republican opponents after the
result was known were quick to Of
fer their active support.
Harrison's victory and the hard
run made by Former Mayor Dunno
came as a surprise to many, Graham
having been a favorite IN the betting.

GRAND EXALTED RULER
OF ELkS SUMMONED
Grand jury Examining Men Of
Prominence Allied With Cox.

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 1-Surpris-
es were many yesterday in the investi-
cation of public affairs in Cincinnati
being conducted by the grand jury
of Hamilton county. No indictments
were returned but the prominence of
the men summoned as witnesses start
ed surmises which indicated that the
inquiry is to become more far reach
ing than the indictments of George B.
Cox would show.
Chief among those before the body
were August Hermann, chairman of
the national baseball commission and
grand exalted ruler of the Elks, and
Adolph Hynacka, a former county
treasurer. Both have been associated
politically with Cox.
Hermann was before the jury
twice, the first time Immediately fol
lowing Hynacka, who after testifying
for half an hour, departed for New
York.
Bayard Kilgour, vice president OF
the Bell Telephone Company here
was quizzed today. The fact that Off
cials of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, and John A. Paine, former
head of a concern that distributed rae
ing and market information, had beer
summoned, led to the belief that the
grand jury was turning it's attention
to alleged gambling.

ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE
EX-SENATOR BLAlR'S STORY
But These Are Alleged Conditions in
Uncle Joe Cannon's District;
Not in New Mexico.

Danville, H., March 1.-William
Donegan, Civil War veteran, living at
the Soldiers home here and former
Democratic election official. testified
before the grand jury as to the means
used at the reelection of Speaker Jo-
seph G. Cannon last November. Be
fore he testified he said he had the
names of many men who had corrupt
ed the old soldiers and that one man
had received $500 to buy votes and
had kept it all. After he testified
he refused to say more than he had
told what he had said he would, and
that he was prepared to furnish cor
roboration. Among the charges made
by DOnegan were these:
That veterans, weak from disease,
dying, some insane and others infirm
and childish, were voted.
That these voters knew not what
they were doing nor why they were
doing it.
That officers in the hospital ward
marked sample ballots and placed
them in the hands cI the voter, who
was wheeled to the polling place
There judges marked ballots as out
lined on the sample.
That battalions of veterans were
! formed, marched to nearby suburbs
and voted as residents thereof.
Saddle Bonds on Town.
That on one occasion bond issue
of $4,000 was saddled On the Oak
lawn school district by members OF
the home voted by an officer thereof.
That sick and weak in the hospital
were given whiskey to sustain them
until they could vote and that on one
occasion a voter was dead within "a
/ hours after he had been voted.
| That young, able-bodied Spanish
! American veterans were kept at the
4 home to swell the enrolment and in
/ crease the appropriations for this
i branch of the home.
That money was given the barracks
/ captains for voting members of theil
I barracks.
/ That some Of the veterans voted
here, then caught train for theil
home town and voted there, holding
residence at both places.
Even Dead Were Voted.
That men were voted in place o
veterans long dead and that it was
NOT unusual for man voting to for
get the name under which he was tt
vote and that it was very usual oc
! curence for a voter to not remembe
! the initials of what he said was hi
name.
The grand jury spent the bette
part of its time today in listening t.
Donegan and John H. Hamilton, ;
banker of Hoopestown, where th'
county funds were on deposit previ
GUS to the last election. Hamilton
was quizzed with reference to tn
amount Hardy Whitlock, forme
county treasurer, drew just previous
to and on election day The grant
jury is endeavoring to discover
Whitlock, who is accused of embe2
zling about $4,000 from the county
spent the money for votes.
