BANKER CRlTICIzES
FARM LOAN ACT

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 27.-Bankers
here for the annual convention of
the Farm Mortgage Bankers associa-
tion of America were told by F.%.W.
Thompson of Chicago, it's president,
that no occasion exists for them to
fear inroads on their business by fed
eral farm loan banks.
Even though the federal banks
should obtain their wull quota. of
loans in the aggregate of $20O,O0O,-
OOO," he said, " there still would be
left by way Of renewals and new
business from the 100000 farm
owners of the country a very large
proportion to be done by farm mort
gage bankers"
Mr.. Thompson impressed members
of the organization with the need for
obtaining modification of restrictions
placed o. the proposed joint stock
banks under the new system by the
federal farm loan board.
The speaker criticized the farm
loan act, declaring IF my diagnosis
is correct, it will lead to period
of agricultural speculation and ex-
pansion which will prove disastrous
to the proposed beneficaries."

SENATOR CLAPP URGES
KELL0GG'S ELECTION

Senator Moses E. Clapp today is

of Frank B. Kellogg, trust BUSTER"
for United States senator from Mime
sofa. The statement follows:
''To the voters of Minnesota:
"Of Mr.. Kellogg's ability it would
be supererogation to speak of his
genuine sympathy with that broad
force in humanity which we call peo-
pie. There is no question on this
point. I speak with a confidence
born of intimate knowledge of the
man.
II have always deplored arraying
class against class and yet we can
not ignore the fact of the eternal
struggle between, the rights of the
many to be safeguarded against the
aggression of extreme greed and lust
of few and believe Frank Kellogg
is genuinely with the broader equa-
tion no matter along what particular
line the issue may present itself.
ellis ability which all recognize,
known as he is to the public, and
with his sympathies on the right side
he will at once justly take high
seat in the American senate and will
be found on the right side of the
great issues which must confront us.
"While do not assume to dictate
how anyone shall vote, yet SO far as
my opinion may have weight, I hope
my friends will give him their loyal
support"

'THE TONGUES OF MEN"
AT GRAND THEATER

Constance Collier, the internation-
ally noted London star, in the role of
witty, tender, strong-minded grand
opera idol especially suited to her
great personal beauty and artistic
strength, will be presented at the
Grand theater tomorrow by Oliver
Morosco on the Paramount Program
in "The Tongues of Men, The
young rector of an aristocratic
church denounces from the pulpit the
grand opera "Zaporah" and the cor
rupting influence exerted by the wo-
man who sings it, Notwithstanding
the fact that he has never witnessed
the performance. The visit of the
outraged prima Jonna to his own
vestry room to discuss the attack,
the revelation of really splendid per-
sonality and sincerity, and the SEN
timental outcome it works with the
young rector marks one of the crisp
est stories the screen has seen in
years. 1t is a thing that might have
been expected from so clever a title
as "The Tongues of Men," Forrest
Stanley makes a handsome picture
as the young cleric who is broad
enough to listen to reason.

st. Paul, Minn, Oct. 28.-Minne-
sota's legislature went into special
session extraordinary, today, to enact
laws permitting Gopher militiamen
on the border to vote Nov. Z.
Legislators, called by hasty sum-
mons from their work at home last
Thursday, began pouring into st.
Paul early today. Informal legisla
tive headquarters were established
in two downtown hotels, and the law
makers then went to the state capitol
where session began at II a. m.
Sullivan Presides.
H. H. Flowers, Cleveland, speaker
nf the house at the 1915 session, pre-
ed over that body. Senator G. H.
.ullivan, Saltwater, presided over
the senate. The latter appointment
y, was due to there being no lieutenant
governor in Minnesota to preside
over the senate at this time, and the
selection of, Sullivan as president pro
tenn at the last session. This condi-
tion is due to the sudden death of
Governor w. S. Hammond and the
succession of J. A. A. Burnquist, his
lieutenant, to the governors desk.
Although the primary purpose of
this special session is the passage of
laws permitting militiamen at the
border to vote by mail, talk was
strong today that several bills would
be introduced tending to amend the
proposed law. Hennepin county leg
islators were said to be planning
bill, giving all absent voters right
to cast their vote by mail
Member on Border
A. L. Pratt, Anoka, a member of
Third regiment on the Mexican bor-
cial session. To come would have
entailed a mileage of 1900 miles.
The law as passed by the legisla-
~sure late this afternoon or tonight,
WI doubtless provide for the imme-
ballots to be sent by special delivery
trict of which he is resident. The
envelopes are not to be opened until
election day when the ballot will be
deposited in the ballot boxes, and
counted as a part of the returns of
that precinct.
Not Local Offices.
Simplicity marked the law of
which draft was introduced this af-
ternoon. Only national and state
officers were extended to the militia
men for selection. City and county
officers were not included in the men
for whom militiamen might vote. It
@-as argued that the inclusion of
-aeir names would greatly complicate
.yshe voting by mail. If Minneapolis
"militiamen, for instance, were allow
ed to vote for city officers, there
would be several hundred names on
the ballots sent the militiamen.
It is legally possible to introduce
any bills that strike the fancy of the
legislators late this afternoon. AS
the session was called legislative lob
byists refused to say whether any
other than an absent voters law
would be introduced.
ss4 In 1912 Governor Eberhardt call
ess@ special session to pass a state
de primary law. In addition to
Us law, the legislature also passed
"a gross earnings tax law at the spe-
cial session.
