POLITICAL BEES
BUZZ IN LANSING
Gilbert A. Currie Candidate FOL
Speaker of Next House-Daker
Would Be Auditor.General.
,From . stan corre.poadeatJ

LANSING, Mich, April l7.-Gilbert
A. Currie, representative from MID
land. sprang into the limelight' sat
day as candidate for speaker OF the
next house, with the best kind or pos
sibilities.
Currie tumbled into IL, as he had
not announced his candidacy when IL
was thrust upon him from dozen dli'
ferent sources II IL was up TO the he
publican membership OF the present
house. he could be elected, II Is conn
IDENTIFY asserted, and the strange thing
about IL is that his support comes from
nearly all factions.
Currie is chairman OF the house CON-
mittee on railroads, and is on the
LIQUOR committee as dry" He Is also
on the judiciary committee and the
committee on eastern Michigan asy-
lum for the insane. On the floor, he
has advocated popular government.
Among the state officials. he STANDS
well with all classes, the same as In
the house. In Midland, he has been
leader In some Of the battles against
certain evils.
Currie is serving his second term,
and is still only 2S years old. He was
born on farm near Midland, nm
ished the district school and studied
enough advanced work TO give him
two years credit at the Midland high
school, where he later graduated. He
then took the law course at the Uni
yersity OF Michigan, graduating In
1905. He is In thep ractice OF law in
Midland.
SO far no other candidate for the
speakership has appeared.
The last days OF the session, how
ever, bring forth number OF political
bees, the latest OF which Is the ambi-
ton of Speaker Baker to be auditor
general. after his vigorous and sue
cessful campaign for speaker. and his
energetic service in debates on the
floor when occasion demanded, there
is no doubt he will be strong candi-
date.
There are at least three legislative
candidates for state treasurer, john
Perry. speakers pro tenn of the house,
and Senators Kline and Kingman.
Senator John Leidlein is believed
TO have his eye on the Democratic
nomination for governor, and his pic
turesque and telling German oratory,
and his afiliation with thousands OF
h his compatriots through fraternal or
CARNATIONS, will make him candi-
date TO be reckoned with.

\ DALLAS, April 17.-For getting the
goods quickly. there's nothing like the
recall Dallas has just recalled four
schoolboard members, and even before
the votes had been finally tabulated,
Arthur LeFevre, the Superintendent OF
schools, who was an issue In the cam
paign, had resigned.
And back TO private life went Clar-
ence Lane, president of the school
board, a manufacturer; and these
trustees: Herbert Audrey, banker;
Lou Wright, contractor; Sheron Bon
ner, lawyer.
Their places on the board were take
by Edward Belsterling. president, a
lawyer, and these trustees: w. A.
Goode. union painter; NJ. A. Turner,
real estate dealer. and Frank Gilbert,
merchant.
This recall election-the second In
Dallas-was a real demonstration of
peoples power. Last August the peo-
pie recalled Trustees George and
Mann and installed ]. ID. Carter and
j. B. McCraw In their places. George
and Mann had been members OF the
Lane crowd. This faction has fred
some teachers in star-chamber session,
without giving them hearing or even
knowledge OF what charges were
against them. The people recalled
Mann and George as a rebuke and
hoped the board would brace up. But
the gang" didn't heed the warning.
After McCraw and Carter took their
seats they became sponsors for
charges against Supt LeFevre, which
grew ont OF their campaign for cleo
ton. He was accused OF smoking
cigarets, frequenting saloons, and OF
displacing the merit system by the
spoils system In the appointment and
promotion of teachers.
McCraw and Carter were helpless,
being a minority. The Lane faction
decided to give Supt LeFevre a nice
coat OF whitewash.
A mass meeting was then held, at
which the recall OF the board majority
was decided upon. A ticket was named
TO back up Carter and McCraw. The
name adopted was Merit System

New Orleans Futures.
By Associated Press.

New Orleans. Feb. s.-Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline Of to points
in spite Of very favorable cables. This
action Of the market was due to private
reports from Texas telling OF light rains
in some Of the drouth sections and also
to private cablgerams from Liverpool
stating that Manchester was refusing to
follow the advance to the future market
Selling was almost entirely from shorts
and after the call it was heavy enough to
put the list 4 to 10 points under yester-
days close On the decline fresh long
buying began and this caused shorts to
scramble for profits with the result that
at the end OF the first half hour Of bust
ness. prices were within l to points Of
yesterdays close.
The market had a good tone from the
early trading on. There was little SELL
ing power and the professional element
appeared to have oversold and to be anx-
ious to take in profits. Reports from
Texas during the morning indicated that
the rains there were too light to perrna :
nently alter the situation and moreover
that they did not occur in the counties
suffering the most from drouth. At the
highest Of the morning the trading months
were unchanged to points up Compared
with yesterdays close. At noon the mar
ket was 2 to points under yesterdays
