LENR00T
TAKES EARLY
LEAD IN PRIMARY
Leading Nonpartisan Opponent
in First ReturnS-WOmen
Vote in Election

Milwaukee, Sept. S.-With more
than one-fourth of the precincts IN
the state heard from Senator Irwin:
Lenroot had lead Of S,40O over his
nearest opponent James Thompson
of Lacrosse, according to returns tab
ulated early today by the Milwaukee,
Sentinel. With 620 out of 1879 pre-
cincts heard from the vote stood :
Lenroot, 42,516; Thompson, 34,1l6;
with A. c. McHenry, of Oshkosh, far
behind both.
The race for the Republican guber-
material nomination apparently had
narrowed down to three OF the SIX
candidates when 293 Of the 1873 pre-
cincts had been heard from. With
these returns compiled Roy P. Will
cox was leading with 1926; John
J. Blaine was second with 1881
while Gilbert S. Seaman, of Milwau-
kee. was third with 1O,60S.
The lengthy ballot and the fact
that a large number of women cast
their votes for the first time account
ed for the slowness Of the returns
coming in.

POLAND FACES
NEW ENEMY IN
LITHUA MAI Ms
Conditions Becoming More Seri-
ous-Report Trotzky Spurs
Reds to Action
GERMAN REDS INVOLVED

Warsaw, Sept. S.--Conditions along
the Lithuanian front are becoming
more serious daily, and, according to
latest reports, the Poles and Lithu-
anians are fighting spasmodically
across the imprOvised frontier. IN
one action two Lithuanian officers
and 200 men were captured by the
Poles.
German and Russian Bolsheviki
are aiding the Lithuanians, it is con-
tended by Polish authorities. Reports
reaching army headquarters stated
that Leon TrOtZky, Russian minister
of war and marine, has ordered So
Wet troops to drive the Poles out
of the country. The latter, however,
contend they have not crossed the
line fixed by the allies.
Trotzky is asserted to be carrying
on campaign of propaganda, declar-
ing the Polish invasion threatens Lii
thuanian independence and urging
that the Poles be expelled at all
costs.
1t is contended by the Poles that
the Germans and Bolsheviki plan to
use Lithuanian as a corridor between
Russia and East Prussia. Reports
have been received which seem to in
dicate that German military and COM
mercial interests have combined with
the Bolsheviki to encourage Lithuani
ans to wage war against Poland.

HARVESTER CO.
HEAD REFUTES
TRADE REPORT
Says That Commission Has Not
Charged Farm Implement
Prices Are EXOrbitant

Chicago, Sept. S.-Cyrus H. Nc
Cormick, chairman of the Interna-
tional Harvester company's board OF
directors, referring to the federal
trade commission report, which
charges collusion to raise farm i'm
plement prices, said today:
1T should be noted that the report
does not find that prices or profits in
the farm implement industry are ex-
cessive, eXOrbiant or unreasonable.
and yet the commissions figures on
manufacturers profits greatly ex-
ceed the Harvester company's net
earnings as shown by it's balance
sheets, audited and certified to by
public accountants of the highest
standing.
Farmers Not Hurt
'The report specifically finds that
the farmer was not prevented from
making fair profits on account of the
increased price on account of the
increased price of farm implements
because from 1913 to 1918 the increase
in implement prices was only 73
per cent, while the increase in prices
of farm products was 11S per cent.
Furthermore it finds that farm i'm
plement costs constitutes less than
10 per cent of farm operating ex-
pense. The full text of the report
shows the increase in prices of farm
implements, farm products and all
commodities between 1914 and 1918;
and says after 1915 all three increased
rapidly, but the greatest increase was
that in farm products, while the
smallest was that of farm implement
Giving each of the groups the value
of 100 in 1914, by 1918 farm i'm
plements had increased to 173. all
commodities to 1877. and farm prod
ucts to PIP.
Beyond Control
"The commission might well have
added that if the farmer were allowed
the same rate of compensation pe:'
hour for the labor Of, himself and
family that the manufacturers pay
for the production of farm imple-
ments it would be evident that the
farmer needs all this advanced price
of farm products in order to make
a decent living. The advance OF
prices in both cases is due to cause
beyond the farmers or manufacture
ers' control. .,-'' -G .

Rome, Sept. 8.-Scores of
lives are believed to have been
lost in the district north of
Florence which was shaken by
an earthquake yesterday morn
ing. AS reports from the
stricken region came in over
faltering telegraph and tele-
phone lines the extent of the
disaster seems to be growing,
and there is a possibility that
the damage may be more seri-
GUS than was at first believed.
The territory violently disturbed
seems to be shaped with Florence at
the southern Apex and Modena at the
northern end. 1t extends along the
Etruran coast, and runs over the
Appenines eastward for upwards OF
l0 miles. In this district there are
many populOus towns and no tidiugs
lave as yet been received from many
Of them. There is every indication
chat the shock was severe one and
reports from cities in the earthquake
lrea show that buildings crumbled
beneath the strain Of the convulsion
If the earth.
Postal Force Killed
At SivivvanO, a town of 1900 in
habitants, near Caerara, almost every
building was damaged and many were
destroyed. Among the collapsed
structures is the postoffice, in the
ruins of which is the entire staff
Solera, in the province of Massa,
Marittima and Monti nearby were
partially destroyed. Rivesano, Forni,
and Momtignoro are reported in ruins
while in Marina and Carrara many
structures have collapsed.
Panic prevails at Lucca as a re-
suit of the catyclysm, and from Ga
5inara and Limestre from reports
Of lives being lost At Villa Franca,
an entire family was buried in the
tuins of their home, and the village
of Vigetta was destroyed. Serious
.iamage was done in the Erignano dis.
trict where houses collapsed and at
FrassinerO, where a number of houses

CITY ELECTION
ON BOND ISSUE
IS CONSIDERED
Revolving Fund Would Enable
City to Pay All Bills
Promptly
WANT TO BUY FIRE TRUCK
Question of Swimming Pool
Might Also Be Placed Before
Voters at Election

The bonding Of the city for the
creation Of a $4,000 to $4,000 revolv-
ing fund to provide for the prompt
payment Of paving and sewer war
rants, was suggested by Mayor Lucas
to the city commission at it's meet
ing last evening. Besides the Mayor,
Commissioners French, Bertsch and
Thompson were present.
Many taxpayers are generally de-
linquent in paying up some of their
taxes in the spring and the warrants
are due at that time. In the fall the
delinquent taxes are paid up and the
city then has the money to pay the
warrants which were due in May and
June. Thus the warrants cannot be
paid promptly under present system
and the credit of the city is constant
ly menaced.
No Loss
The creation of a revolving fund
would enable the city to pay these
warrants to be paid when due. Then
in the fall the delinquent taxes would
be paid in and the fund would be
brought up to the original total.
The creation of such a fund, to-
gether with the issuance of bonds to
provide for motor fire truck, and II
swimming pool probably will be put
before the citizens at a special elec-
ton.
Will Grade Avenue d
A petition was received from the
majority of the property owners on
Avenue D between First street and
Washington Avenue asking that the
street be graded. Commissioner
French moved that the street be grad
ed and the required resolutions were
passed by an unanimous vote.
The city engineer reported that the
sidewalk along the south side Of
Main street, from Second street 10
Mandan avenue (along the U. S.
Weather Bureau station) was narrow
and below grade. The street commits
sioner was authorized to write to the
federal authorities.
Want Walks to School
A letter from George Will, presl-
dent of the school board. was read,
in which Mr.. Will requested that
walks be built to the new F. H..
Reichholt school,
Bids were to have been received
and opened for the construction OF
a sanitary sewer for one block on
Twelfth street No bids being receiv-
ed action was postponed.
The city engineer was instructed
to draw up plans for the improving
and grading of Main street. 1t was
suggested by members OF. the COM
mission that dirt for filling in the
road be excavated from the proposed
swimming pool site.
A notice from the board of rail-
road commissioners setting forth an
increase in rates applied for by the
Hughes Electric company, was pre-
sented. On motion of Commission
er Thompson the matter was referred
to the city attorney.
Atkinson Made Auditor
A committee, composed of Commits
sioners Larson, French and Bertsch
was appointed to consider changes
in the election precincts.
The commission accepted the re-
signation of Cecil Burton, as city au-
ditor, and appointed Myron Atkinson
to that office for the remainder OF
the unexpireed term.
