.N0NPARTY WILL HAVE
STATE TICKET IN FIELD
Independent Candidate Fol
Governor Is to Be Named
BY Petition

ST. Paul, July 8.-Formal announce
ment is made that the Norpartisan
league will have a candidate for
governor of Minnesota at the general
election next fall.
( This announcement, made through
the official newspaper of the league,
is not unexpected, as it had been
anticipated that the league would
make an effort to make use of the
vote rolled up for Lindbergh through
the expenditures of thousands of
dollars in organization work.
With it's announcement of de-
cision to back a candidate for the
highest office in Minnesota, the
league also calls another farmers
state convention to take place soon,
at which time it is said the league
will "go down the line" to obtain
control or the balance of power in
the state legislature.
The decision of the league was
made at a meeting of a Estate COM
mittee" here this week. Among the
farmers. said to have had voice at
the committee meeting are E. d. Pa
quin of Long Prairie, E. e. Johnson
of Balaton and Eric Anderson of De-
troit.
1t was declared at the meeting OF
the committee that as result Of
the vote polled by the league at the
primaries, "the league will be the
determining factor in the fall elec-
tion'
The official announcement says:
''The Nonpartisan league will have
candidates for governor and perhaps
other state offices in the field this fall
without doubt. Whether any of the
candidates who are on the ticket will
be indorsed or whether an indepen-
dent candidate will be put up will be
decided in due time"
Observers of Nonpartisan activities
since the primaries believe the league
is planning to form a combination
with city socialists, who may by pc
tition place candidate in the field
or already has formed this combina-
tion. Unless it can produce 1000 vot-
ers who did not cast a ballot at the
primaries, the league will be unable
to place an independent candidate on
the ticket.

before the threshing begins, and thus
avoiding waste, and the matter of Sc
curing coal for threshing. There was
some discussion on what prices would
have to be charged for threshing this
year. A tentative resolution was Of
fered suggesting that in view of the
costs shown by figures submitted by
Mr.. Gems, the following prices would
be considered as approximately fair
to the threshermen:
The Price Schedule.
Oats, cents bushel on the basis
of SO bushels to the acre..
Barley, cents bushel, on the ba-
sis of 80 bushels to the acre.
Wheat, ten cents bushel on the
basis of twenty bushels to the acre.

The above prices were considered
as fair for threshing.
In order to give opportunity for full

er were appointed from each town.

the time the threshing season starts,
and consider suggesting a price for

co operate with the food administra-
ton, and will receive food admins

TEUT0N PEACE
TERMS REJECTED
Lloyd George Outlines Britians
Peace Terms.
WITH FRANCE TO DEATH
Premier Declares Wrongs OF 1871
Must Be Righted, ltaIy's Demands
Satisfied And Small Nationallties
To Select Own Government.

London.-The British Prime Min
lister, David Lloyd George, set forth
Great Britain's war aims more speci-
fically and at greater length before
the delegates Of the trades unions
than he had ever done before. In
effect, the speech was a reply to, and
rejection Of, the German peace
terms as voiced by the spokesman for
the Central Powers at the Brest-
Litovsk conference.
The three cardinal points of the
British terms, as enunciated- by the
British Prime Minister. are: Re-
establishment of the sanctity Of
treaties; territorial settlement based
on the right OF self-determination or
the consent Of the governed; the crea.
tion Of an international organization
to limit armaments and diminish the
probability OF war.
Having first declared that It was not
a war OF aggression against Germany
or the German people, and that the
breaking up of the German peoples
or the disintegration Of their state
was not one of the objects for which
the Allies were fighting, he proceeded
TO mention the fundamental Issues for
which Britain and her allies were
contending.
First among these was the restora-
tion of Belgium and reparation for
the injuries inflicted. Next came the
restoration of Serbia, Montenegro and
the occupied parts of France, Italy
and Roumania. France must have
Alsace-LOrraine, and to this end, said
the Premier, the British nation would
stand by the French democracy to
the death.

German Schooling.

German schooling has proved antag-
onistic to cooperation, although de-
manding unity of action through mass
obedience. 1t has failed to foster real
cooperation, for cooperation Is q
method by which persons of their own
voltion and by no compulsion may
work together harmoniously, writes
Winthrop Talbot in the Century Maga-
zine. Only when training and school
Ing are the common privilege Of all is
that state Of civic development posi-,
Bile which permits society to become CO.
operative In its action. In other words,
a socialized society becomes more and
more possible only as all individual
members acquire each the widest
vision, and thus the power to cooper
ate tremendously.

Holds Congress Has Power.
OBJECTIONS DEVOID OF MERIT

Opposition Would Rob Gov
ernment OF All Az
thority.

Washington.-The selectiye service
act was upheld as constitutional by
the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice White, who delivered
the unanimous opinion, In a brief
statement declared that after consid-
ering the various contentious the con-
clusion had been reached that most
Of them were imaginary rather than
real.
The decision resulted from the ap-
peals OF 13 cases growing out Of con-
yictions under the selective service
act, FIVE coming from New York,
three from Ohio. four from Mime
sofa and one from Georgia. Consti-
tutionality of the act was made the
basis for all Of the appeals.
All Must Serve Sentences.
The cases from New York were
those Of Louis Kramer, Morris Beck
er, Emma Goldman, Alexander Berk.
man and Meyer Graubard. The first
four were convicted OF attempting to
induce others Of draft age not to reg
lister and an additional charge OF
failure to register was made against
Kramer, who was sentenced to two
years Imprisonment.
Becker was sentenced 10 one year
and eight months in Jail, while Emma
Goldman and Berkman were ordered
imprisoned for two years and fined
$4,000 apiece. A one-year sentence
was given Graubard for falling to
register.
The Ohio Cases.
Charles E. Ruthenberg, Albert Wag.
enknecht and Charles Baker were
convicted in the Ohio Federal Dis
trict Court on charge Of inducing
Alphonse j. Schue not to register.
Each was sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment in the Stark county work

The Minnesota cases were those o.
Joseph f. Arver, Alfred F. Grahl,
Otto and Walter Wangerin, indicted
for failing to register and sentenced

sofa State Reformatory. The Georgia
case was based on the refusal of the
Federal District Court to grant a writ
of habeas corpus to Albert Jones, a
negro, arrested and confined in Jail
for refusing TO register on June 5.
Doesn't Cover Conspiracy Charge.
In holding the law constitutional
the Court took no action in those
cases involving charges of conspiracy
to prevent the carrying out Of the
purposes of the law.
These, 1t was understood, will be
taken Up by the Court later. That
question is involved in the cases of
Alexander Berliman and Emma Gold
man. Louis Kramer and Morris
Becker. convicted in New York on
that charge and the so-called Ohio
cases.
