take 1t and insure its adoption virtually

his Administration as much as his official
duties will permit, and stand on platform
prepared by himself. =
So far as the platform has been com.

WEEKS ADVOCATE OF BIG
NAVY AND FREE BUSINESS
Massachusetts, Senator Opposed to Gov
eminent Ownership


If we'd had big navy in 1888. his mama
might have been Admiral John Wingate
Weeks. of the Atlantic Squadron, instead of
United States Senator Weeks from Massa-
chusetts.
1t was In that year that Weeks, n stu
dent at Annapolis, was told that the United
States Navy had more officers than 1t had
ships and men to command, and that pros
poets for ambitious young men were nothing
to shout about.
So with co other young midshpmen.
Weeks was obliged to resign and return to
the land.
Ever since, Weeks has fought for larger
navy, both as legislator and citizen
When volunteer navy was called on to
serve in the Spanlsh-American War Weeks
responded and was made commander of the
I'd Division. Previously he had served in
the Massachusetts, Naval Militia.
Next to his insistence for strong navy
and army, Weeks bases his campaign for
the Presidency on opposition to Govern
ment ownership. Here are few sentences
of his belief:
THE Government was not organized to
conduct business and it cannot do SO
economically. 10
Generally speaking, there is kind of
stagnation in Government monopoly"
He is also opposed to Government regula-
tion and supervision of business. Remove
all handcaps from business" he said in a
Senate speech give 1t a real freedom, make
efficiency rather than Government supervls-
ion its dominating influence"
Weeks was born of well-to-do parents in
Lancaster, n, II. After his education and
navy experience. he entered the banking
and stock brokerage. business in Boston,
where he became wealthy. In 1905 he
was elected to Congress, and In 1918 he
took his seat as Senator,
One Government ownership proposition
he has favored was the postal savings bank
bill. He helped draft this bill and was one
of the most active of those who pushed it
to passage.

Roosevelt the FdUorite
In Betting at Chicago

CHICAGO, June 4. = Theodore
Roosevelt was made the favorite for
the Republican presidential nomina-
tion by Chicago bookmakers today.
They quoted his chances at even
money.
One freak bet was recorded. A
Western cattle man put up $3.50
against $4,000 that Roosevelt would
be the nominee of both the Progress
sives and Republicans and elected
over Wilson.
Supreme Court Justice Hughes
was made second choice at 6 to 5;
Elihu Root, to 1 Senator Burton,
of Ohio, 6 to 1; Senators Cummins,
Of Iowa, and Weeks, of Massachu-
sets, to 1.
No bets were recorded on Henry
Ford or Senator La Toilette.
Name your own price and then
it's a co." said the bookmakers.
So far the betting has been light.

Industrial Preparedness

Mere military preparedness alone is in
adequate for the safeguarding of the ma
tion's life, even in time of war. The final is-
sue of the titanic struggle that now con-
vhlses Europe will be decided in the homes,
workshops, fields and laboratories of the
peoples now at war. Any program for ma
tional security in time of war that does
not involve social and economic security in
time of peace is false to the needs of the
nations life. and arouses suspicion as to the
good faith or intelligence of its advocates.
"Narrow-chested and gray-blooded chill
dren living in dark rooms in congested tene-
ment districts, eating adulterated food and
corrupted in their childhood by an environ
tnent of dives, gambling dens and brotheIs
are poor foundation for a first line of de-
fense. Men and women who receive reg
ularly less than living wage or work eS-
hausting hours in daily toll under anti
social conditions will have little enthusia sn,
in defending country that has so poorly
defended them. The social human waste
from insanitary homes, sweated labor and
immortal living conditions is as much fact
of national weakness as the lack of guns
and munitions. "A nation must be worth
living in TO be worth dying for"

DRUNK IS ARRESTED
ON SERIOUS CHARGE
Mike Snyder, Of Minot, Held for
Grand Larceny; Crime Was
Committed Last December

1Minot, n. d., Sept. 14.-Mike Sny-
der was arraigned in police court on
a charge of grand larceny. The cir
cumstances of the present situation
in the case are rather interesting.
The theft with which he is charged
was alleged to have been committed
last December At the time Of the
alleged theft Snyder and Jacob Hess,
whose property was taken, were en-
ployed on the farm of A. w. May,
south of this city. Snyder disappear
ed and along with him disappeared
a gun, a suit of clothing, a scarf, two
belts, tie pin, tie clasp and certi1i-
cate of deposit for $3.50.
The police officials have been on
the lookout for Snyder ever since, as
the circumstances seemed to point to
him as the guilty man. He evidently
left the country. but returned this
season with the crowds, probably eX-
pecting that Hess would be out of the
country, too, so that identity would
be impossible.
He procured a load of whiskey and
while under its influence was picked
up by the police on a charge or
drunkenness. When he came into
court he was identified as the man
who had been sought for nearly nine
months. Mr.. Hess, who is still en-
ployed on the May farm, was mott
fed and came into the city and iden-
titled the man as the one wanted.
Under the state statute the theft OF
