URGES TEACHERS UNION
i. F. OF L. Official Lays Plans Before
Topeka Tutors.

The proposal that a teachers union
be organized in Topeka and affiliated
with the American Federation Nof
Teachers was made Monday afternoon
by L. V. Lampson. secretary and ma
tional organizer of the association, in
an address before an assembly of To-
cal school teachers In the high school
auditorium.
Lampson explained the principles
and workings of the organization and
pointel out the benefits that would
accrue from 1t. The fact that only
seven charter members are required
to form a local makes it extremely
probable that such a movement will be
started.
Lampson frankly declared that the
paramount purpose of the organization
is to better the social and economic
conditions of its members. Larger sal.
aries, he intimated. awaited tutors who
join the federation. He insisted, how
ever. that the organization was op-
posed to strikes and does not adopt
this means OF attaining its ends.
1t is not thought that any action
will be taken unti1 after the state con-
ventton. at which time the question OF
unioniZaion will be voted on by ap-
proxinsately 1900

Bryan Won't Run.
: William Jennings Bryan is said to
be interested in this move, but all re-
ports in this connection emphasize
that Bryan has no political moves for
himself and there is a belief he favors
Josephus Daniels. secretary of the
navy, as dry candidate.
Chanp Clark has many supporters.
Recently during a bit of repartee in
the house. he indicated shat he might
be an aspirant. His friends point out
thai he is still an active figure in the
house. where he is Democratic leader.
Governor Cox, OHIO. probably will
have his state. delegation with him
when the convention opens.
Senator PonereneS and Senator Tn
derwoodN are numbered in the first
division of presidential possibilities.

FOR WHITE HOUSE
Presidential Possibilities Come
Out in Washington.
McAdOO and Palmer Lead
Among the Democrats.
PROHIBITION TO Be AN ISSUE
By November, 1920, Nation
VIII Know How 1t Feels.
Clark, Cox, Underwood and
Daniels Are Considered.

tThe State Journal will carry Re
tomorrow.l
Washington. Nov. Presidential
possibilities were beginning to come
to the fore in Washington today.
In the national capitol the men
most widely discussed for the Demo-
cratic nomination were A Mitchell
Palmer. attorney general of the
United States, and William G. Nc
Adoo, former secretary of the treas
ury.
President Wilson not only will not
be a third-term candidate, accord
ing TO all indications, but he will not
enter the campaign even to the extent
of giving his backing to one of the
aspirants.
He will keep hands Off and will
not consider going on the stump in
behalf of anyone This is partly pc
cause he would not want to undergo
the strain of an arduous speaking trip
and partly because he is tired of poll
tics and, when his duty to the coun-
try is done. he desires rest and quiet
McAdoo on Business.
McAdop appears likely to go into
the campaign for nomination as "a
business mans candidate" promising
athe nation a business adTninistra-
ton
Just at present McAdoo really is
the most prominent of all the aspir-.
ants for the Democra tic candidacy. SO
far as. political talk in Washington
goes. Palmer comes next. 1t is be-
lieved by many. however. that the at
torney general sacrificed the labor
vote when he caused the Indianapolis
injunction to be issued against the
striking miners. Those who hold he
would not be a winner also claim that
his fight against the high cost of liv-
ing has not added to his strength His
popularity was greater when he
started that drive. but prices have not
tumbled so rapidly as many expected
them to. To this Palmer's friends
reply that congress has not yet given
him all the authority he wanted to
put the profiteering out of business.
Prohibition an Issue.
Great interest is manifested in the
issues which will be put forward in
the 1920 campaign Taking it for
granted that the treaty will have been
disposed of before that time, one of
the most talked about issues is pro-
hibition BY November. 1920. the ma
tion will be ready to say whether it
! likes bone-dryness and,if there is any
widespread popular agitation for re-
lief. that is expected to be one of,the
foremost points of contention The

sealer of Weights and Measures Dennis Kelly say that he is still re- ceiviug complaints of short weight given by drivers of the ice wagons throughout the city notwithstanding tho cooperation of the large fee deal CTS to put stop to the practice. The Crivers have been warned against fivinE short weight and have been told that they can look for no as- ristance from the companies if they get into trouble on that account.
 Mr. Kelly stated yesterday that in many cases drivers had been very ar T9Eart fin their tactics about weighing ice. He said complaints had been made that ice had been sold in this city for SO cents hundred pounds when the price should be only 60 cents. However, he said this had been known to occur. especially when tfe driver sized up the housewife aa nm "easy mark" and charged her 20 cents fer 25 pound cake of ice in- s.ead of IS cents. Mir. Kelly said the housewife gets into trouble when she practices asking for s 90 cent piece of ice instead of 30 pound piece. In the case Mr. Kelly said no action could be taken as the driver had not rnisrepresented the weight of the ice

KING AND QUEEN INVITE SOCIETY
 TO PALACE TEA

London, June 27-(CoVrespondenc of The Associated Press) - English society took its tea this afternoon on the lawn at Buckingham Palace, the guest of King George and Queen Mary It was a simple affair, their Majesties moving about, among their friends, stopping now and then to that one while on their way from the palace to the pavilion where they too. had tea.
 The scene was brilliant. The weather did very well. for while 1t was cloudy there was no rain. Scores upon scores of gaily dressed women walked and chatted with distinguish ed generals and adnlirals in full reg !mentals or went over the political situation with statesmen, of whom there were a great many there from every party.
 The Queen was dressed in a strik- ing robe of sapphire brocaded silk, and the Princess Mary, who followed her mother, wore pink and white satin. The King had discarded his familiar field marshaTh uniform and appeared in the high hat and frock coat of other peace days.
 The socially ambitious were not presented in person to their majesties the mere fact of their presence be- ing taken as proof positive they had entered the coveted realm.
