.[0VELADY TALKS OF METHODIST MEETING Says Recent Conference One of Most Important
 Ever Held

Dr. R. F. Lovelady, president of the board of revenue, who returned Mon day from Oklahoma City. okla, where ference of the Methodist Episcopal church. south. declared yesterday that the recent conference was one of the most important ever held.
 There were many important matters for consideration" said Dr. Lovelady "The matter of the Vanderbilt univer- sity was of much consequence as was also that of whether or not laity rights should be granted to women and wheth- removed from the church name. The last two matters were left as they origi- nally were and the Vanderbilt matter will be threshed out by committee ap- pointed to do so
 'The Vanderbilt university was es- tablished by eight conferences and some years ago these conferences gave to the general conference the right to govern the institution. not transferring proper ty rights. however. When Carnegie of- fered to the school s1.000,0O0 as a gift lit was with the provision that the church be not permitted to govern the institution. The general conference re- fused the money because of the con ditions imposed. but the trustees de- cided they wanted the money and ac- cordingly accepted. This was the cause of the discussion regarding Vanderbilt at the general conference, and it was decided to return to the original eight conferences the control of the institu- ton.
 "The matter was reconsdered upon application and finally a commission ap- pointed to thresh the matter out "I am very glad to be home again The conference extended over three weeks period and Oklahoma City was a fine town, but 1t can in no wise com pare with Birmingham In fact, there | is no town on the map as good as Bir-
 mingham, and I am always glad to be home again, no matter how short my stay away from here am now on the job and glad of it."

Can We Afford 1t?

And now comes w. w. Powell in the
Milwaukee Free Press at the instiga-
ton and support of that paper and tells
the farmers and taxpayers of WiscOn-
sin in effect that they are pack of
fools who don't know what they are
talking about when they rise up in pro-
test against the divine right of this pro-
gressive state government to tax them,
exploit them, fence them up with laws
destructive of their political and indus
trial liberty.
This man Powell has set out to
sweeten and sugar-coat the bitter dose
of misgovernment and misrule that the
LaFollette and McGovern demagogues
have fastened upon the state. The
taxpayers of the state are inSultingly
told that they are responsible for all
the burdensome taxes, for all the fool
laws that have increased our state eX-
pense 400 per cent in fourteen years,
while the population has increased only
121 per cent.
Can we afford to turn our state gov
eminent and the law making power,
the tax .levying power over to a lot of
university professors?
Can we afford to retire as people
from the government of Wisconsin and
turn it over to lot of Progressive pol
itcians who show by their works that
they have not grain of conservative
common sense in their heads? And
what is more, can we afford to take the
excuses that the Free Press and the
Powells and the McGoverns and the
Morrises are putting up for their fear
full delinquincies in managing the at
fairs of the state? Can we afford so
expensive luxury as their society any
longer? The Union believes that deep
down in their hearts the common peo-
pie of this state see the issue in its
right light and will vote accordingly

And there you have the foundation
of the two candidates.; both strong for

Just trife singular, too, and sig

these two aspirants for the highest Of

Possibly, in these days of cut throat

fabulous, is it not, in this instance?-

JUST how badly the farmers of Wis
consin need Gov. McGovern's market
commission scheme to make their bust
ness a paying one is disclosed in the
following quotation from Ellis Usher's
weekly letter: "What appears to be a
financial statement from the secretary
of the Wisconsin Bankers association
tells us the small bankers of the state
are finding AN acute banking problem
in the demands of farmers for money
with which to buy automobiles. He
tells of one town of 600 inhabitants
where the local bank had applications
for loans aggregating $50, 600, which
he assumes is about one-half the price
which the farmers were paying for
new machines, the other half being
paid in cash; and we are told that the
demand for machines among farmers
is far greater this year than ever be-
fore. In view of the piteous appeals
that some of our statesmen are making
for banking facilities to finance our
farmers, and the apparent efforts OF
the bankers to meet this demand on
the ground that the farmers need
money to run their legitimate business
and market their crops, this automo'
bile story is significant.
