Burnquist, present incumbent, has
been renominated for governor of
Minnesota over Charles A. Lindbergh
Nonpartisan candidate, by large ma

Judge Willard l.. Comstock Of Man.
kato was leading Fred E. Wheaton OF
Minneapolis for the Democratic NOM
nation for governor, on the early re-
turns. Comstock was given big
lead in St. Paul. Wheaton's lead in
Minneapolis was cut down because so
many Democrats voted the Republi-
can ticket.
Knute Nelson, Minnesota's grand
old man, was renominated for the
United States Senate with no appre.
ciable opposition. There were few
votes cast for James A. Peterson.
Peterson's vote came from strong
pro-German communities.
Democrats deserted their own pri-
maries by thousands to vote for Burn
quist. 1t is safe to say that more
Democrats voted in the Republican
state primaries than ever before.
Democratic support for Burnquist was
particularly noticeable in Minneapo-
lis. :.
The present state officeholders have
been renominated on the Republican
ticket, according to returns avail

4 TONS OF GERMAN
SPY PAPERS FOUND
Fuehr's Records DISCOVERED in
Storage Here.

Four tons of documents which min
utely record the affairs of the ex-
tremely methodical DR.. Karl A. Feuhr
one time associate Of Dr. Heinrich f,
Albert, in the task OF distributing Won
Bernstorffs money for German propa-
ganda purposes. were discovered yes
terday by agents OF the Department
OF Justice in storage warehouse.
The discovery was timely because
the Senate committee that has been
investigating brewers propaganda will
begin a general investigation of Ger
man activities on Tuesday. DR.. Feuhrs
records are thought to contain much
that will aid the committee in the en-
animation OF witnesses suspected Of
German sympathies. The newly dis
covered matter was being sorted by
agents of the Department OF Justice
yesterday.
DIR. Feuhr was at the head of the
German Information Service, which
sent out a daily press sheet colored
by the German viewpoint from an Of
fice in 1928 Broadway. Among his
associates in the effort to influence
American opinion were George Syl-
veter Viereck, who conducted The
FatherIdnd from an Office in the same
building; DR.. William Bayard Hale,
the late Hugo Muusterberg and Otto
Merkle. Merkle is in internment at
Fort Oglethorpe.
Fuehr's activities were not limited
TO the United States. He was IN
charge of German propaganda in the
Western Hemisphere. Among the
papers are the records OF Fuehr's pay
ments OF money. There are said to be
names on these lists that have not
hitherto figured in investigations of
German propaganda.

This official announcement has been
made in Berlin, according to a des-
patch received here, which says 1t is
asserted that the grain harvest is bet
ter than in previous years. but the po-
tato crop is much worse. owing TO a
lack OF labor due TO the departure OF
Russian prisoners.
The supplies of grain from Rumania.
Poland and Ukraine TO Germany have
ceased. Tho situation is aggravated

sands of soldiers. heretofore fed off the

MARSHALL WILL NOT
ACT OF HIS OWN WILL
Vice-President Explains Stand
on Assuming Presidency.

Vice president Marshall, who was in
Boston last night. is quoted as saying:
with regard to the suggestion that
/ might voluntarily assume President
Wilson's office or the duties thereof
can state now definitely and posi-
lively that I shall not of my own
volition assume President Wilson's
office or the duties thereof If the
PRESIDENT departs from the United
states to attend the peace conference.
AS for the suggestion that a joint
resolution Of Congress might be
adopted TO set the Vice President in
motion this proposal is entirely new
to me. and 1 am unable to commit
myself as to what I would do IL the
Congress should adopt Jointly such a
resolution.
"1n answer TO the suggestion that a
court having Jurisdiction might man
damus me to assume the duties of the
President: l unquestionably would as
sumo the Presidency Of the United
States and exercise the duties OF that
Office il court having jurisdiction di-
rected me to do So"

coed with plans for the construction OF
navy that will rival any in the world.
There Is no question that the size Of
the American navy actually and DO
tentially Is to be used In support OF the
argument the President Is to make.
Fully aware of this, Senators and
Others are becoming insistent that a
clearer definition Of the Presidents
meaning of freedom of the seas than
has been contained in his utterances
should be forthcoming.
Want Public Discussion.
Taking the President at his word as
expressed in his address to Congress
January last, that the outcome OF
the peace negotiations should be "open
covenants Of peace openly arrived at"
there is a growing movement in the
Senate to bring about public discus
sion of every phase OF the coming
peace treaty in the Senate. Coupled
with this and bearing directly on 1t
will be movement 10 publish the
treaty as soon as 1t Is delivered for
submission to the Senate, so that there
will be no doubt in the minds of the
American people as to just what is in
progress.
This movement is recognized as a
part OF the general movement in Con-
gress, more particularly concentrated
in the Senate, directed toward the
restoration Of a more generally free
discussion in all quarters of the prob
lens Of Government both as regards
international relations and domestic
affairs.
1t Is believed in the Senate that the
hour has arrived when for want of
initiative on the part OF the executive
branch Of the Government looking to
relaxed censorship and other repres-
sive activities of the Post ONCE De-
partment, the Department Of Justice
and the military censorship. some d.
rect action by Congress should be
taken lifting all bans on honest and
sincere criticism Of Executive acts and
discussion Of all problems.
Chairman Hitchcock OF the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate Is
known to favor the discussion OF the
treaty largely IL not entirely in the
open Senate, and his views are shared
by a majority of his colleagues.
Senator johnson (Cal) to-day made
known his views with regard to the
need of an early lifting of the obltga-
ton to secrecy imposed In large meas
ure by voluntary action on the part of
the individuals and organizations, but
also enforced by laws enacted as war
time emergency measures. He said:
THE result of the recent election,
in my opinion. was due to the policy
which arrogated to itself omniscience
and denied to loyal Americans the
right of free and decent expression.
A repressed and suppressed people,
forbidden interchange of thought for
many months, found their only ex-
preston in the ballot box.
Our nation now in the peace aon-
ference will make the most moment
Gus decisions in its history. We can
perform no higher duty and render no
greater service than publicly to dis
cuss our problems of peace, peace
terms and the future relations between
ourselves and other nations and the
path the republic shall follow in the
years to come"
