JONES WILL REPLY
TO SENATE REPORT
Administration Takes Unusual
Course to Force Confirma-
tion-Patronage at Stake.

Thomas d. Jones. of Chicago. nominee
for the Federal Reserve Board. has
been given opportunity to make reply
Banking ard Currency Committee. This
is an unusual proceeding.
The minority of the committee has
been given until next week to prepare
its report.
This delay is a part Of the plan of tho
Administration to play for time to line
UP the Democratic Senators, now .oQ-
posed to Jones, before q vote Is taken
within ten days on the nomination.
Paul NJ Warburg's case Is in a state
of suspension pending the outcome of
the fight over Jones. Congressman
Oglesby of New York. who interceded
for Warburg with Senator Hitchcock
Thursday, was at the white House to-
day. Last night Mr.. Warburg gave out
n telegram in which he made IL plain
he did not intend to appear before the
Committee on Banking. Mr.. Oglesby
said today he had used his good Offices
on his own initiative. The Jones con-
test has taken on large political proper
tons.

friends" grumbled a Senate Democrat,
who intends to vote for Jones but does
| farmers of the country were unfriendly
to the International Harvester Com
pany, and that to vote for Jones would

Patronage is being relied on by the
tors to line up. 1t is no secret that the
President intends to punish Senators
who do not support Jones by withhold
ing patronage from them

RES. PEOPLE WANT
HOMESTEAD RIGHTS BACK

Certain Of the reservation folks
have started a movement of greet
interest to homesteaders out that
way. Petitions have been prepar-
ed and will be generally cir
culated on the reservation for
signatures, these petitions being
addressed to the United States
congress and setting forth that
it would be but just to the sett-
lers out therein view Of the
untoward conditions-to refund
payments made in case they wish
to give up their claims, or in
case Of a settler making all his
payments to give him hack his
homestead rights. The argument
is that in paying the prices ask
ed for these claims the transac-
ton is merely a sale, with home
stead rights attached. In. case
the government could be made
to see the matter in this light an
the settler elected to receive
back his money, he would simply
remove and take off has right to
acquire a claim elsewhere. It is
purposed to send, lawyer to
Washington to, represent the
settlers.-Ryder Journal.

and came out with many of the

In sweeping every prize offer
ed for alfalfa seed sheaf, North
Dakota competed not only with
the other states in the Union but
with the entire world, which is
an additional feather in the Flick
