SWEDES SUPPORT
STRONG DEFENSE
Committee of State Republican Organ.
izati0n Drafts Resolution for
Rally at Princeton.
TO HOLD CONVENTION THURSDAY
Senator Sherman to Receive IndOrse.
ment of the Organization for
Presidential Nomination.

In opening the national campaign in
Illinois at Princeton on Thursday the
Swedish-American Republican league,
representing 10000 voters in the state,
will take strong stand for national
preparedness.
This was determined yesterday at a
meeting of the resolutions committee
at Chicago. Carl r. Chindblom
presided. He and his conferees were
unanimous on the proposition that the
first pronouncement from Illinois from
so influential a republican orgaGiza-
ton should take an unequivocal stand
for adequate defense
The tentative draft of this plank
does not go into details, but is so
strong that whatever specifications
may be desired will go through the
convention without hitch, in the
opinion of the men who sat in at the
conference.
1t is the purpose of the league lead
ers to stand squarely for genuine
defense policy" as they put it, and to
insist that both the navy and army
shall be rehabilitated and brought up
to the highest standard possible in the
shortest possible period.
! Loyal to United States.
1.-THE wedish-American voters of
Illinois will not be found backward or
Quibbling when it comes to a ques-
ton of protecting the United States,
Edwin A. Olson, member Of the COM
mitee, said. They stand for an ade-
quate defense, and l believe the pro
nouncement will ring true. 1t will be
patriotic and practical"
In addition to taking this stand the
league will indorse Senator Lawrence
Y. Sherman as its candidate for presi-
dent and will declare for the restora-
ton of historic republican principles
and policies" at Washington. The
democratic administration will be con.
demned as unable to conduct affairs Of
the nation properly and a plank will
demand restoration of the protective
tariff policy.
Hands OF State Fight.
The league will keep its hands of
the republican factional fight in Hi.
nois. but will arraign the democratic
state administration, declaring for g
return of republican officials at Spring
field.
Senator Sherman and former Gov
ernor Deneen are scheduled as head
liners, and practically all the candi-
dates for state Offices will be on the
ground

INDIANA'S PRIMARY
IS TO BE EXPENSIVE

Indianapolis, Ind, March 6.-That
the statewide primary, to be held in
Indiana tomorrow, is going to be an ex-
pensive proposition both to taxpayers
and candidates for Office, is the opinion
of political leaders Of all parties. There
is much speculation as to what it will
cost the state and these estimates vary,
but no estimate has been lower than
an average of $4,000 a county. The
lowest estimate, therefore, is S460,000
for the 80 counties of the state. Some
politicians think the cost will run to
100000.
Marion county, in which indianapolis
is situated, has already appropriated
$34 900 to pay the expenses of the pri-
mary. Some county officials say this
will not be enough. Some of the small
er counties may not have to spend, it
is estimated, more than $4,000. But
the larger counties like Lake, Vigo, St
Joseph, Allen and Vanderburg, and
perhaps a few others will, it is be-
lieved, have to pay out 5000 or more.
Until all the printing bills are in, how
ever, it will not be possible to ascer-
tain the cost of the primary with any
certain degree Of accuracy.
That the primary is hitting the can
/ didates hard. there is no question.
/ Practically all of the political leaders
/ say that there was never any candi-
date who made canvass for an office.

! ever spent anywhere near what the
| primary is costing. The greatest item
of expense, in the primary, is for news
I paper advertising. The candidates are
using this method OF appealing to the
( voter, more than ever before.
! Because Of the lack of contest, the
! democratic candidates for the higher
Offices have not been called to spend
large amounts. The progressive can
didates are spending practically moth
ing. 1t is the republicans who are
making the strenuous campaign.
Republican candidates for United
States senator and governor, and there
are three each for these two Offices,
are making their great appeal to the
voters by displaying their photographs
with reading matter in the newspapers
The increase in the use of this sort of
advertising has been marked. Most of
the advertisements are two columns
/ wide and 10 inches or 20 inches long,
There are about 100 regular republi-
can newspapers in the state and abou,
40 others carrying this advertising
One insertion of the usual 20 inch ad
IN the 200 papers costs 81 600 at a con-
servatfve estimate. Republican candi-
dates for senator and governor have
had such advertisements in this strine
OF newspapers anywhere from three &c
a dozen times. This repetition Is ex.
planned by the fact that some of the
men began their active campaign las,

 Those who suspect the case may take such a turn regard the pOssibili- ty as an evidence of threatened wid- ening of the scope of submarine war fare.
 While the situation at this stage gives no outward evidence of the ten sion which attended the several sub marine crises in the last two years, no attempt is made to disguise the possibility that it may develop a sit uation of utmost gravity. Until all the facts are gathered and substan- tiated by legal advice and until Ger many's version of the affair is at hand. it is doubtful if the state de partment will permit any of the de velopments to become public When the case is complete the ultimate de- eision will rest with President Wilson

What promises to be the best wrest- ling match Bisbee has seen in years was last night slated for the Old Opera House Monday night between Peter Buzukos, champion welterweight wrestler of the world, and E. Heino, for years San Francisco's pride, youth who has something over a dozen medal awards for his wrestling.
 Heino takes the place of Charles Goodrich, who was to meet the Greek, but who was eliminated by dislocat- ed shoulder, suffered Tuesday night.
 If there is any man in the camp who looks like he can take the meas ure of Buzukos, it's Heino. The fel- low was the best lightweight ever to wear the ribbons of the Olympic club in San Francisco. San Franciscans have never seen the youngster thrown, and he says his shoulders have never been pinned to the mat by a man of
