POSTERS PUT ON
REGISTRY BOOTHS
Activities of Untermyer Back
ers Cause of Complaint.

Friends of IrwlnsUntermyer are affix-
ing his campaign posters to registry
booths, according to the Citizens Union.
This organization last night sent
complaint in regard to this method OF
campaigning for the Democratic candi-
date for the Supreme Court to John r.
Voorhis, president of the Board Of Efec-
tons. They reported that a member OF
the executive committee had seen Satur-
day night no less than five Untermeyer
advertisements affixed to a registry place
at Broadway and Ninety-eighth street.
'"The display of such advertisements at
such places Is clearly illegal during the
days Of registration or of election" the
complaint reads. Even in advance of
registration and election days the affix-
ing of such advertisements to these
booths is clearly in violation Of the spirit
of the law"
Persons who do not register are

the Progressive Farmers and Household

extortion was to sell shares of $40 each
to all the negroes in a proposed building
to be erected by the union at Win

to obtain money was to appoint leading

BASEBALL IN X

Baseball in Dixie has reached the fuzzy-wuzzy stage. In Texas
there is a league Of class "a players with class "B' rating. In Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana there Is a circuit
of Just the reverse twist-class AZ rating with a partial A cast.
The two organizations in question arc the Texas league and the
Southern association. If you can beat that for conformity to facts and
consistency of expression, you may start out a. once
The story is like this: Last year the Texas league wished to be
the eight owners hoped to it with a rush. When the league opened its
season the makeup vas all class az talent in place OF b and with
salaries to match. Nevertheless, the Texas. i. still a class "B" league.
While this was going on Southern chiefs resolved to experiment
with seven "A" men per club; the rest Of the machine a to be any
thing but recognized OF at least alleged "a" players.
You probably have noticed the result. If you haven't there is no

WritiS Issued to
Gust Macdonald
Refuses to Turn State Superin-
tendent of Schools Office
Over to Miss Nelson

A dispach from Bismarck on Tues
day, stated that Attornev General
LANCER had that afternoon filed an
application with the supreme court
for writ of mandamus to compel
N. c. Macdonald to yield the office
of superintendent of public instruc-
tlon to Minnie j.. Nelson, of Valley
City. The court will hold a confer
ence at 10 o'clock this morning.
This action was necessitated by
the refusal of the retiring incumbent
to turn the office over to Miss Neil
son when she was ready to assume
her new duties Tuesday. Macdonald
refused to allow the newly elected
holder of the office to take charge,
claiming she did not have the educa.
tional qualities legally essential
to occupy a state superintendent's
position, and saying "I am doing this
entirely in the interests of higher
education.'' Miss Nelson contends
that she will be at her duties di-
rectly, and has the reliance of Attor.
ney General Langer's assistance in
the matter, who declares that she has
the same qualifications as Macdonald
and that she is entitled to hold the
office.
