These drafted men must be exam
ined sooner or later and on this
ground the board seeks to complete

only to its advantage. but to that
of drafted men who will be able to
Judge their work and duties in ac-
cordance with government regula-
tions and requirements.

FARMERS union
PLANSCAMP AIGN
AGAINST LEAGUE
Fight for Control of Rural
Vote in South Dakota
Is In Prospect
ORGANIZATIONS
DIFFER IN AIMS
League No Longer Farm
ers' Society, But Seeks
Support In Towns

Mitchell, s. D.. Sept. Stimulated
to activity by the progress which the
National Nonpartisan league has
been making IN South DakotA. The
leaders Of the South Dakota Farm
ers' union, the objects of which are
quite different from those of the
league, have adopted plans which are
taken to indicate a fight for control
Of the rural vote at future cleo
tions.
Enlightening as to the leagues
plans for dominating South Dakota
legislation and politics is the report
that a candidate against Congress-
man G. III. Dillon, Republican, from
the First district will be put up. w.
R. Ronald, editor of The Mitchell
Republican, which has become known
as in a measure the leagues official
organ. is being discussed as the like
ly candidate. The recent success Of
the North Dakota league in electing
a cartoonist to congress has given
inspiration to the leaders in this
state to enter the national field.
1000 Farmers Enrolled.
Some of the Farmers unions plans
were announced here yesterday by
Rodell B. Warne of Loomis, secre-
tary of the state organization, who
said that the union win start
monthly periodical as its official
organ. 1t will. be published by j.
Glenn Richards, a Plankinton farm
er, who formerly was in newspaper
work in California. The paper will
be used in a new statewide member
ship campaign. At present, accord
ing to Secretary Warne. there are
255 local unions in South Dakota,
with total membership of about u
600 farmers.
Politicians have also been led to
expect that at least part of a state
ticket will be put IN the field, and
that probable aspirant for the gov
ernorship is S. w. Records, Of
Spencer, president of the state union.
How They Differ
The Farmers union, which
originated in the southwest, is strict
ly a farm organization. Group buy
ing for farmers is one of its pro-
posals The 'Nonpartisan league, on
the other hand, has dropped its
designation as a farmers society and |
now works actively for memberships |
in the towns. In South Dakota the |
leagues membership campaign has
been based largely on the argument 1
that through unfair methods Of 1
grading wheat the farmers have been |
deprived of fair prices. State own
ed terminal elevators are urged as the
proper remedy.
A noteworthy phase of the leagues /
growth in this state is the lack OF /
opposition. Though hardly organized /
at that time 1t made it's influence felt
actively before the last general as
sembly, and was treated with con-
by all the politicians. The L
legislature, at its behest, created the
off1ee of market commissioner, and
approves OF the idea OF expending 1
state funds for such purpose as the
OF terminal elevators
and packing plants.

today at luncheon of Wisconsin
newspaper publishers and editors, the
object Of the meeting being to or

That propaganda he said, must

behalf OF those Progressives who sup
ported Charles Il. Hughes was flung al
Chairman Wilcox in terms more en-
phatic than were employed in some
what similar demand week ago.
The communication embraced repeti-

the chairman call meeting of the ma
tional committee to pass on the action
of the executive committee in naming
John T. Adams of Iowa vice chairman
and to decide whether the G.. o. p. was TO
be the party of progressivism or OF re-
action. The challenge read;
If the national committee should de-
eide that the Republican party shall re-
main reactionary this should be known
at once, SO that other Arguments can be
Immediately made, as no time should be
lost in preparing for the fight of 1920"
While Chairman Wilcox declined
Wednesday night to say what action he
would take in regard to the Perkins
Colby letter there was strong belief in
certain Republican circles that the Re-
publican national committee would be
called together In that event, it was
said, discussion of the points raised by
the Progressives is inevitable.

atty to President
Wilson

! Washington, Feb. 2.-Senator McCnm-
Der, Republican, OF North Dakota, re-
| opened discussion in the Senate yester-
I day of the presidents recent address on
the subject of peace despite suggestions
that he postpone comment at this time.
Senator McCumber denounced the
presidents aims, declaring that "any
suggestion of this country to remodel
European forms of government or recon
struct the map of Europe would be TAX
en- about as seriously as our submarine
notes or our Mexican threats"
"We awaken this morning TO face a
critical situation" said Mr.. McCumber.
MATTERS are before us which involve the
honor OF the nation. The German note
foreshadows an era OF slaughter and star.
yation. 1t brings TO mind forcibly the
presidents wish to stop the present great
war.
ut is not for the Senate to invade the
rights of the president on such an occa-
sion, but we can help him in his efforts
for future universal peace by considering
fully his message TO this body"
Senator McCnmber reviewed the ques-
ton of granting United States citizen
ship to yellow races.
"The rights of the yellow people to be-
come citizens of white nations must be
settled and settled TO the satisfaction of
the yellow people themselves before they
will consent to enter world league for
enforced peace" he declared.
~ do not want to let go unehallenged,
as the sentiment of the Senate, the presi-
dents recent address. However, we can.
not help but realize that it is our blood
that is being shed and we cannot say
with any sense of duty or humanity that
this is not our concern"
Senator Lodge took the floor TO say.
81 shall make no reference to the note
from Germany that startled the world
this morning. That note places great re-
sponsibility upon the president. No
word shall fall from my lips that might
embarrass him in dealing with that
note"

"UNWARRANTED,'
DECLARES TAFT
Condemns New German Policy and Says
We. Must Prepare Against
Unjust Aggression.

Concord, n. H., Feb "A grossly un.
warranted extension of the right of
blockade was the Characterization of the
new German policy of unrestricted sub
marine warfare made by former Presi-
dent William Fl. Taft, who addressed the
state legislature yesterday. He said in
part:
"The dangerous crisis in our relations
with Germany forced by her declared in
tention to sink neutral vessels engaged
in trade with France and England their
crews and passengers, without warning,
by submarine warfare, is a grossly I'M
warranted extension of the right of
blockade which bellgerents have in in
ternational law against neutrals. It
greatly emphasizes the necessity for
Fastening adequate military and naval
/ preparedness against unjust aggression.
1T also takes away the fattering unc-
I tion that we are now so remote from
European war that we should decline to
enter world league 10 enforce peace.
Such league in the future will be as
useful and needful protection to us as
our leadership and participation in it
are necessary to its formation and wise
i EothehNts ~ 10 NtA ~ VhcN anu
to the world to help it protect itself
against the horrors of another war"
Mr.. Taft was speaking on the subject
of world league TO enforce peace.
Herman A. Metz, former city control
Ter, and now president of the Consoli-
dated Color Chemical company, declined
to discuss the new German note, but
said he might make statement for pub
LEGATION later in the day. "0f course
am an American" he said. "but under
the circumstances do not see how any
one could have expected any other kind
of action by Germany than the one she
has taken"
Mayor Mitchell said yesterday it would
not be proper for local official who had
nothing to do with the affairs of the |
nation TO comment on it. He added:
Il feel certain, however, that the coun-
try viii be ready 10 back up anything !
President Wilson may decide to do"
