entered the war"
Outlining the principal things for
which his party stands. Mr.. Hays
said:
Il suggest that above all things
the republican party stands first for
honest. efficient. and economical bus
mess administration Of the country's
affairs. 1t was formerly said that,
Honesty Is the best policy as mat
ter OF business. Honesty is the best
policy as a matter of morals. In like
manner there Is but, one kind OF sue
cessful politics, OF faithful. efficient,
honest. and economical adminIstra-
ton. The only successful politics in
the situation today Is to find out
what Is best for the country and do
It first. We want more men in poll
tics for what they can give and not
what they can get.
IT suggest the republican party
stands for the development and exc
cution OF n plan for the recution Of
taxes. with the repeal OF taxes which
kill initiative. and the spreading Of
war debt over large number Of
years.

say county convention today and sue
ceeded in defeating Lowden and

after conceding that Wood had won
a majority of the>delegates in the
rest Of the state.
Two delegates to the national con-

introduction by the republicans OF
new reservation, the treaty intended
To replace the more definite inter-
national pledges of article Y. claims
were made of further democratic
gains for ratification with the repuo-
lican qualifications attached
The new reservation drafted by
Senator Lenroot declared the United

Germ any threat to the peace Oh

United States Senator Says Wood

cd Twilight Hour as Voting Time
to Eliminate Farmer Vote, He Says

Detroit, March 1.-THE Minnesota
republican primary was charactcriz-
ed as 'pretense" and the first
strong arm tactics Of the 1920 cam
paign" by United States Senator
Hiram. Johnson in a statement today.
He charged that the republican state
machine is in absolute control of af-
fairs in Minnesota.
This machine" the statement de-
clares 'has been conducting the Wood
fight
"Altho the state preferential
primary law had been re-
speaied.' the senator said, "the
republican organization in Mime
sotssS called what it termed a
prffnl&y a'f!1a E-oferential vote for
president. Fixing Of the tinft OF
voting between 1880 and $3.50 p. m.
with country chairman empowered
to fix the hours to p. m., meant
no primary at all in the country dis
tricts.
TN midwinter with the present
conditions of theroads, 1t was the
disfranchisement of the farmers"
Continuing, the statement says:
when recently I was In Minnesota.
I demanded a half day In which vot-
ers might express themselves. Fol-
lowing this, Hoover and Lowden
forces made a similar demand. OF
course, the machine in absolute con-
troll and representing Wood, calling 4
mere fake primary which might Re
used to influence other states. paid no
attention to our demands. This one
hour vote was a travesty on popular
representation"

LUIKARr SEEKS DIVORCE.
Father Of Poisoned Girls Sues Wife
In Detroit.

In Detroit.
Detroit. Mich, March 17.--Roy f.
Luikart, whose two children. Shirley
and Edna, were given poison by their
mother last September. and later
saved by the skill Of DR.. Thomas A.
Carter. Of Chicago. filed a petition
yesterday asking divorce. He also
charges that his wife's foster darents.
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Zorba, had
threatened to kidnap the children. A
request for an injunction restraining
them is included in his complaint.
In his bill of complaint LuilSart
says his wife was much in the COM
ps,ny OF d Royal Oak man. who had
promised to take her to Europe just
before she attempted to end the lives
Of her children. The man is made a
part to the court proceedings.
The bill of complaint also calls up
on the Royal Oak man named there
In to appear in court and 'answer as
to his conduct with Mrs. Luikart In.
order that the court may be fully ad-
vised in the premises"
After reciting the fact that he and
Hazel Harrison were married at Her
rick, 8. D., In 1911. Luikart says that
they lived in comparative happiness
the first three years. altho he
makes the charge that his wife was
extremely Jealous and caused him
mental suffering. Suddenly, says the
bin of complaint. these signs Of jeal-
ousy disappeared, coincident with
Mrs. Luikarts' Increased interest in
the study of vocal music and compo-
sition which she was pursuing under
the tutelage Of a certain professor OF
music in Sioux Falls" The Luikar$s
had moved to that city.
IN November, 1916. says the hus-
band. he and his wife came to De-
troit. About this stage Of their mar
ried life Mrs. Luikart became de-
votee Of the philosophy of "sex an
tagonism" and "harped' on the topic.
She would claim, he says. that WON
en- were the playthings of men-that
men never suffered and that she had
made all sacrifices and he had made
none" Furthermore. Luikart mar
rates, "she dreaded the time when her
children should grow to womanhood
and suffer as she had suffered"
The bill reviews the poisoning case
and the way in which Shirley and
Edna were saved in Chicago.
Then follows allegations that a
Royal Oak man and Mrs. Luikart
had been much inseach others COM
pany" while he himself was sick in a
hospital. He says the man had made
promises that he would take Mrs.
Luikart to Europe and support her
In luxury. Luikart alleges that on
the day OF the poisoning Mrs. Luikart
and the man had an appointment
whIch> the man failed to keep.
