A FULL TICKET
THE BULL MOOSERS WILL GO
INTO THE FIELD WITH
TICKET.

Huron, May 20.-Irying II. Jones,
secretary of the executive committee
of the progressive party, today gave
out the following interview relative
to reports that the progressive party
would only nominate a candidate for
United States senator at their con-
vention on June 8:
My attention has been called to
numerous, articles which have lately
appeared in the daily papers to the
effect that the progressive party will
not take any action relative to the
congressional officers other than that
of United States senator. just where
the reports eminated from / am un-
able to state, but | desire to state
most emphatieally that the conyen-
ton which is called to meet in Huron
on June 9 will certainly nominate a
full ticket. The call which has just
been issued recently, specifically
states that this is the purpose of the
convention. OF course, / realize
there are those who seek to call
themselves p~rogressives, who would
like to see this party take no action
that would in any way affect certain
republican candidates on the repub-
lican ticket. In order that the facts
may be made particularly clear, | de
sire to say at this time that the pro
gressive party is not an agency by
which certain favored office holders
can be perpetuated in office; neither
will the convention, | am sure, en-
dorse any republican candidates OF
candidates of any other party. We
are in the fight and will win or lose
on the merits of our cause and oul
candidates.
Yes, we have candidates. said
Mr.. Jones, land they are men whc
believe in the principles of this party
and who are willing to make the sac.
rifice for the party's sake. / think
that you will find that our ticket viii
be one of the strongest ever offered
to the voters of this state. If all this
sounds like only endorsing a eandi
date for the United States senate
then / am indeed unfamiliar with the
plans for June 9.
Let me say this in conclusion
that the progressive party is here tC
stay, regardless of the efforts of the
republican politicians to strangle it
and we will have a full ticket in the
field at the November election"

TOO LITTLE o
In the Schools, Says Vice President
Marshall.

Washington, May 20.-Vice Presi-
dent Marshall's declaration that n
of Americas ills today lis that there
is too much science in the so called
educational system and too little God
Almighty" occasioned comment in
Washington. The statement was
made at a church gathering here.
There is this thing wrong in
many of the churches" said the vice
president, that because church and
state are separate and the state
makes the schools, the church has
felt itself absolved from any duty in
the direction of education of youth.
But now the church is awakening
to the fact that children should be
reared in the way of Christian faith
from the nursery upward. / believe
there is in this country today a great
spiritual awakening, and the church
is beginning to see that ii has turned
over entirely too many of its func-
lions to the state"
The vice president also let it be
known that some day he would forget
all of the other political parties and
join the socialist. But" he added,
Il shall never do this until it be-
comes a friend of the church, never
while it flaunts on the streets a red
banner in the face of faith in God
and the marriage service. The Sc
cialism in which | believe and to
which / hope some day to adhere, is
not that which concerns itself with
consideration of power and property,
but that of the spirit"

WORTH A MILLION
Madame Nordica's Will Disposes of
Worlds Finest Gems.

New York, May 20.-Jewels worth
$1,000, 900, including some pieces
that are world famous, were disposed
of by Nine. Lillian Nordica, who died
at Batavia, Java. in a will made on
January ! on board the Tasman,
three days after the steamship ran
aground in the Gulf of Papua.
In addition to the jewels, which
include certain of the handsomest
and most valuable pearls and emer-
aids in the world, Nine. Nordica dis
posed of other property valued at
several hundred thousand dollars.
Her husband, George w. Young,
banker, and her three sisters, it is
understood, are the chief legatees.
The jewels, it is believed, were be-
queathed to her sisters.
When the singer left this country
on her world tour, that ended in her
death OF pneumonia, she carried with

her virtually all of her great collec-
ton of gems.
The most notable of these were her
strings of pearls and her collection Of
emeralds. One string of colored
pearls, collected in all parts of the
world, is valued at $780, 600. Her
matched emeralds, which included a
necklace with seven large matched
stones, ~unriyalled by any, and two
large emeralds in earrings are worth
a like sum. The gems are pear
shaped and fiawless.
Almost as valuable was her string
of matched white pearls, five lengths
deep, and a very long string of pearls,
which she wor with a magnificent
corsage ornament of diamonds and
black pearls, this latter being valued
at $4,000.
Probably the most valuable of all,
intrinsically. was her diamond collar
of sixteen strands, fringed with large
blue white diamonds. This collar
was made of diamonds, which Nine
Nordica had collected in the course
of her career, and is reputed to be
unequalled.
In addition to this notable collec.
ton of gems she owned some rare
ancient jewelry and some perfect
amethysts. set and unset. One OF
her gems, the "Nordica pearl" is re,
garded as one of the few perfect
pearls in existence. 1t is set in the
center of the diamond and pearl cor
sage ornament.

The manifesto refers to the au.

men of whose honesty, capacity and
good faith there can be no question, s.

men should commit themselves to a
statement concerning the political
causes of the war which depart SO
strongly from what seems to be plain
facts in this grave hour of European
history"
