PROGRESSIVE
REPUBLICANS ON TOP

The Republican situation. which
has been somewhat beclouded by
the conflicting claims Of the differ
ent candidates, is clearing up. 1t Is
becoming manifest that neither
Governor Lowden nor Senator Ha"
ding. who are the candidates of the
old Guard, can so into the conyen-
ton with either a majority OF
enough of vote to promise one on
an early ballot. The Washington
dispatch which we printed yester-
day quoting an old-time Republican
leader as asserting that the Old
Guard would not have much TO sap
about the nomination, is strictly In
accordance with the figures which
keep on coming in day after day
from different primaries.
As the political situation shapes
itself today General Wood and Sen
ator Johnson will enter the conven'
ton with near'r enough votes &c
control 1t. or course no decision Can
be reached on the first ballot; there
are too many candidates for that
The usual complimentary votes will
be given the Favorite Sons, and
then things will get ready for the
break. II the Wood and Johnson
managers follow the ordinary
course they will delay this as long
as possible. There is certain dra-
matte effect 10 be achieved by the
sudden throwing Of Favorite Sons
States TO some other candidate
which is not likely to be overlooked
Between General Wood and Send
tor Johnson the outlook is that the
progressives will have the upper
hand. The Old Guard fought to the
last ditch in 1916 to overcome the
Hughes boom and believed until
the fourth ballot that it was goius
TO succeed. The campaign Of 1929
bears some resemblance to that OF
1916. SO far as the results from the
early primaries can be judged rs

LARGE FARM HOUSE
W4S DESTROYED
But Volunteers Were Able to Save Two
Barns of L. z. Nelson at Kimball
Corner-Loss Estimated
at $500.

The large house at Kimball Corner.
occupied by the l.. 4. Nelson family,
was completely destroyed by fire early
this morning. The two large barns To-
Gated at the west of this structure
were saved by the efforts of 20 or more
neighbors and men Of the East Barre
fire department No less than $500
worth of damage was caused by this
fire, which is believed to have original
ed from the furnace.
Shortly after 1880 Mr. and Mrs. Nell
son, whose bedroom was on the lower
floor of the house. were aroused by the
cracking of the fire and upon emerging
from their bedroom discovered that the
kitchen floor. three rooms from their
bedroom, was in flames. Alarm was
in time TO allow Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson
and two children TO save theiE clothing
and considerable furniture. among
which was the piano, a bedroom set
and various other articles of furniture,
in fact, many of the most valuable ar
ticles not in the vicinity of the kitchen.
The absence OF wind enabled the fire
fighters to save the two large barns not
20 feet awav. but their efforts against
the ho>~o Ere. were all in vain. Mr..
and Mrs Nelson found shelter with
neighbors for the remainder of the
night. This morning they were making
arrangements TO move into a tenement
house owned by them not 900 feet
away from the scene Of the fire.
The value of the house given at a
rough guess was 5000, while the lost
furniture was estimated at approx
nately $500.

ther of Mr.. Howes in 1880. L. 0. Holmes

MAY DELEGATE YORK
OF HUNGARIAN TREATY
Because of the Necessity for the Re-

Paris, Jan. l3.-Setious consideration
was given by the supreme council this
morning to plan for the appointment
of committee of ambassadors to com

and signing of the Hungarian peace
treaty and to carry through the other
unfinished business of the peace con-

left to the heads Of the governments

LEGISLATURES CANNOT
REPEAL RATIFICATION
Declares Wayne B. Wheeler, Consul
for Anti-Saloon League, in Dis
cussing Move in Three
States.

Washington, d. c., Jan. l3.-State
legislatures cannot under the law re.
peal ratification of the constitutional
prohibition amendment, Wayne b
Wheeler, counsel for the anti-saloon
league, declared to-day in a statement
discussing recommendations for repeal
made TO the lawmakers of New York
by Governor Smith.
Mr.. Wheeler cited the attempt of
New Jersey and Ohio to withdraw rati-
fication of the l4th smendpent. Con-
gress refused TO accept the repeal and
both states were counted among those
voting affirmatively. Without their
ratification the amendment lacked suf-
ficient votes to become operative.
Chief Justice Marshall was quoted
by Mr.. Wheeler as follows;
"The principle is asserted that one
legislature is competent to repeal an
act which former legislature was
competent to pass. The correctness Of
this principle, so far as respects general
legislation, can never be controverted.
But if an act be done under a law,
succeeding legislature cannot undo it.
The past cannot be recalled by the most
absolute powers"
