FARM OWNERS GROW
LESS IN COUNTRY
Startling Statement Made In
Congress By Senator shep-
pard of Texas.

WASHINGTON, May 11.-While
the, senate was considering the uues-
ton of rural credits, Senator Shep-
pard said that vast and growing
number of American farmers are re-
duced to such conditions that they
have no land to offer as security for
loans, no means to acquire land which
| they might offer as security for loans
of balances due on purchase, and
hardly enough left after the land
lord, the merchant and the banker
are paid from the proceeds Of their
! crops Ito keep body and soul togeth-
er until another crop is made.''
The Texas lawmaker quoted figures
to show that tenant farmers are in
creasing and farm owning farmers
are decreasing and that less than g.
100000 families in the United States
own their homes free from incum-
brances and nearly 100000 fami-
lies live in rented homes, according
to the last census. He declared that
an autocracy is rapidly developing
In this country, built on the concen-
trated ownership of lands and also on
the concentration of other forms of
| wealth, an aristrocracy that riots in
unmeaSured luxury, an aristrocracy
for the most part selfish, Indifferent
and cruel"
The speaker referred to the land
recommendations of~Secretary of La
Dor Wilson as IAN epoch making sug-
gestion." These provide for the hold
ing by the government of all public
lands and the acquiring of other
lands, to be used by citizens on long
time payments. This plan also pro-
Vldes for the development of farm
ers through governmental education
al agencies.
Senator Sheppard said that the best
preparedness was to make this coun-
try nation of homes, and he pre-
sented an amendment to the federal
constitution empowering congress ito
purchase land anywhere in the United
states, hold, improve, subdivide and
sell the same, and also to make loans
for the purpose of encouraging and
promoting farm home ownership in
the United States.''
1t was shown that the people of
massachusetts,, in November, 1915,
amended their state constitution along
similar lines by three to one vote.
The labor world., 1916-05-20

William J. Doyle, the popular
mayor of the Village of Buhl, has
yielded to the wishes of his friends,
and has entered the race for county
commissioner from the seventh dis
trict. Mr.. Doyle is one of the pio-
neers of this section, having "lum ber-
lacked" all through this section and
has assisted in hewing out of the
wilderness some of the thriving
towns on the Mesaba range. Mr..
Doyle has served the public in vari-
Gus capacities, and always with a
credit to himself, having been a
member of the board Of supervisors
of the Town of Great Scott for three
years, and Mayor of the village of
Buhl for three terms. In this latter
capacity he was instrumental in bring
the little town of Buhl out Of it's
lethargy and has made it one of the
best municipalities on the great Me-
saba iron range. He is of the truly
progressive type and is always put
ting forth his best endeavor toward
any movement that will mean the de-
velopment of this northern section of
the state Of Minnesota. To Mr.. Doyle
belongs the honor (and it is sor1e-
thing that cannot be overlooked by
the working men of this section) of
being the first to inaugurate the
eight-hour day in municipal work on
the Mesaba range, for which en-
deavor he was criticised by the min
ing concerns and other large employ
ers of labor. This criticism, however,
has not diminished Mr.. Doyle's popu-
larity in the least, but rather has had
tendency to make him a bigger
man in the eyes of the general pub
lie. If there is any one man in the
seventh commissioner district that
knows the needs Of the people in that
locality it is Mr.. Doyle, and his
friends are making a concerted effort
to elect him to a position where he
will be able to exert himself along
the right lines. A vote for Mr.. Doyle
for commissioner of the seventh dis
trict means a vote for the develop
ment Of that section.

LABOR CHIEFS TO FIGHT

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The
powerful influence of the American
Federation of Labor has now been
turned against the Shields water
power bill. Arthur c. Holder, legis-
lative agent in Washington of the A.

the session Of the so-called National
Conservation congress which had
been packed by the water power
lobby to get an Endorsement of the
Shields bill. Holder announced then
and there that he was convinced. and
would do everything in his power to
see that the Federation opposed this
iniquitous measure.

Anf-Saloon Men
Claim Credit for
Barnes Defeat

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. June Is
Credit for the defeat OF william
Barnes, as republican national COM
mitteeman for New York, was claim
ed for the Anti-Saloon league by
William II. Anderson, superintend-
ent of the league for New York. at
Tuesday nights session of the an
rual convention of the Anti-Saloon
League of America, which is being
held here.
"A fundamental principle in re-
fern lighting that we have followed
is TO pick out a shining mark" said
Mr.. Anderson. GO after somebody
big enough, so that il is a real credit
to be whipped by him. The most
shining mark in New York state two
years ago was William Barnes. We
went after him deliberately and in
cold blood.
The Anti-Saloon league last fall
started a fight, nationwide. in order
10 get pressure into New York from
the country at large to retire this
man as republican national commit
teeman for the empire state and I
call your attention 20 the fact that
Mr.. Barnes is no longer on the re-
publican national committee. We
do not claim all the credit, but we
helped some"
Mr.. Anderson also told Of the fight
made by the league on the New York
hotels. which had been violating the
Sunday liquor laws and asserted that
the league without assuming the
burden of any prosecutions or ex-
pensive campaigns, created a cOndi-
ton. which compelled the excise de-
partment to serve notice on all
hotels in New York city and all parts
OF the state that the law must be
obeyed.'

the political "dopesters" at Washing
and that the time viii come when
all candidates will be actively on the
job at convention time leading their
own forces
There have been several instances
in the past when candidates have
been caught unawares in national
conventions In these cases men
came 20 the conventions as delegates
without any expectation OF being
nominated for the presidency. Sud
denly. because OF deadlOcks in most
cases, dark horses" doomed up and
were swept 20 victory. Even in cases
such as those IL formerly was the
practice for such dark horses TO
leave the convention-even the city
where the convention was held
until "a choice had been made.
And this required much more re-
straint early in our history than il
does now. for In the days before the
telegraph and telephone II was
possible for "a long time to elapse
before news Of a nomination could
reach the conventions choice.
An index as 10 how seriously a
man regarded his candidacy for
merly was found in his course at
convention time. IF man who
might be expected TO attend a ma
tiOnal convention stayed at home
when the convention was called II
was considered a clear indication
that he had not only ambition but
expectation TO be the selection.
