Threatens Suit for Alleged
Action on Primary
Pamphlet.

Legal proceedings against Secretary
of State John S. Donald are threatened
by H. H, Peavey, candidate for the re-
publican nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor, because it is. alleged the secre-
tary of state permitted E. F. Dithmar
of BaraDoo, candidate for lieutenant
governor, to get his biography in the
primary election pamphlet.
Mr.. Peavy, in statement he gave
out Friday night, charged that Mr..
Donald stretched the time limit until it
was near the breaking point in order
that Mr. Dithmar could have place in
the pamphlet.
"The corrupt practices act, +" said he,
provides that all copy for the primary
election pamphlet shall be filed with the
secretary of state, not later than the
fortieth day preceding the September
primary. In a circular letter sent out
by Secretary Donald the last day for
mailing statements for the pamphlet
was given as July %.

copy of the date on which his material
for the campaign pamphlet was filed
with the secretary of state. It was re-
| ceived onJuly %, six days after the
time limit fixed by the secretary.
Plainly the law has been violated.

the distribution of the pamphlet. This

Tires See War Service

Just before the Mexican war clouc
darkened the horizon of the u. S. Wa,
Department, General Lucio Blanco.
commanding the Constitutionalist for
ces in Mexico, drove his war car
through the thickest of the Matamor-
os battle. This car was equipped with
Firestone Non-Skid tires. The tires
were badly mutilated by the hail of
bullets from the Federal sharp shooters
but the tough fabric was not penetra-
ted although ball from one of the
machine guns cut broad cash in one
of the treads. General Blanco gave
the tires credit for carrying him safely
out of the danger zone.
Now comes the report that Russia has
a number of their army trucks equipped
with F'irestones and according to ahe
present outlook these tires stand a
mighty good chance of being in even
tighter places than Gen. Blanco's went
through in Mexico.
