OF tho strongest contcndcrs on the
American dirt courses for the 1920
title, entered in the two-day auto
mobile race program scheduled to

drives In competition. is here together
with the dirt track crown. which he
won in 1919. Louis Disbrow. who held

faced Leon Duray. the Frenchman. is
also listed among the half score en-
tries. who Will getaway with the
starters flag at 2:30 this afternoon.
This Is the hrst time this season

Rubber sweepstakes for ten miles
with a field OF six starters.
AT Trenton, n. J., two weeks ago,
Duray defeated Haughadl over II half

Calls ISSUED =.
FOR STATE meet.
Working Peoples Non.P Partisan
League to Convene In St.
Paul Next March.

Arrangements are under way for
the state convention in March of the
Minnesota Working Peoples Nonpar-
tisan Political league, when nominal
tons will be made of candidates for
state offices.
Conventions also are to be held
soon in counties and legislative dis
tricts to nominate candidates for the
house in the 1921 legislature. The
league will be limited this year in
its legislative fight, since only house
members will be elected, senators
continuing in office until 1922.
Thomas Van Lear, state league
secretary, has written to all district
organizations throughout the state,
asking that they begin preparations
for the county and legislative dis
trict conventions, and also for the
election Of delegates to the state con-
vention.
Further plans for the state meet
ing will be made at the next meet
ing of the leagues state executive
committee the night Of February Z.
The growth of the organization
soon will require larger headquar-
to move the present headquarters in
the Security Bank building, Mime
apolis, about March / to rooms in
the new building Of the Minnesota
Daily Star, the newspaper Of labor
and farmers organizations which
will begin publication in about a
month.
Steps also have been taken for
organizing all women eligible to vote
when the federal suffrage amend
ment becomes effective into branches
Of the league. These branches will
be similar to those Of mems unions.
They will have delegates on county
committees and also representation
on the state executive committee.
A woman secretary to direct this
work will soon be employed. She
will have offices in the state head
quarters of the league in Minneap-
oils.

MAH0NEY YIELDS,
RUNSFOR MAYOR
President St. Paul Trades and
Labor Assembly Agrees TO
Head Labor Ticket,

The Mahoney campaign already Is
attracting statewide interest, and
likely will be looked upon as an event
Of national importance before the
primary election is held in St.. Paul
on March 1e and the final election on
May 4.
Mr.. Mahoney was forced to become
a candidate when representatives of
organized labor in the city unani-
mously voted that the duty Of leading
labor in this vital campaign devolved
upon him. Though he urged that
someone else be the candidate and
leave him free to continue as work.
err in the ranks, the convention draft
ed him for the position of political
leadership.
The campaign promises to be. the
Warmest one st. Paul has ever seen.
Mr.. Mahoney is not supported by la
Dor alone. A committee Of business
and professional men is active back
ing his candidacy and plans to soon
open headquarters for work in con-
junction with labor.
Unions throughout the city, with a
total of 5000 members, already have
Endorsed him for mayor. Among these
are railway engineers and railway
carmen, not affiliated with the city
trades and labor assembly, There
seems to be no question but that all
the railroad brotherhoods will be en-
thusiastic Mahoney workers.
Other unions which have Endorsed
his 'cadidacy are the milk wagon driv-
ers, sheet metal workers, pattern
makers, electrical workers, building
laborers, machinists, railway express,
railway clerks, boot and shoe work
ers. steamfitters. Great Northern rail-
way carmen, cabinet makers, press
assistants and boilermakers.
In an effort to prevent frauds such
as took place in the 1913 city election,
labor has submitted the names Of 80
men. for election judges to the city
council. There further will be watch
ers at all polls where frauds were
committed two years ago and at other
place where attempts may be made at
Illegal voting.

WASHINGTON, Feb. SIN a re-
port to the shippers of this country
on the probability of increased de-
mand for freight transportation this
spring, Director General of Railroads
Hines says shippers are not using all
the car space as they did during war
times. He says:
1.-THE loading per loaded freight car
fell from an average of 29.2 tons in
the first IL months Of 1913 to 27.S
tons for the same period of 1919, or
a decrease of 4.s9 per cent, this rep
resenting loss Of more than 5000
cars available for loading. This fall
ing off has occurred in spite of con-
tinued efforts Of the railroad admi-
nistration, assisted by the cooperation

Farmers National Council Tells
Of Various Schemes to Rob
Common Carriers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S. -. In a.
statement issued by the farmers ma
tional council it is shown why there is
such an insistent demand in certain
quarters for the return of railroads to
private ownership. The statement
says, in part:
RAILROAD directors under private
ownership and operation of the rail-
roads do not live by railroading aloha
They may earn their stockholders
bread that way, neat little revenues of
$4,000 to 100000. and up, but they
get their cake by being directors and
stockholders in industrial and finan-
cial companies with which railroad
directors deal and from which rail-
they buy supplies for their roads.
"All the public has to do is to pay
the freight-the constantly increasing
freight rates.
1.-THE old Wall Street crowd Of rail-
road directors is anxious to have the
railroads returned so they can get
back to the old system of buying every
year hundreds of millions Of dollars
of goods for themselves, at prices sa-

feet, guarantees the railroads an aver
age of at least 6 per cent upon all
their capitalization, including water,
after the railroads pay high prices for
these supplies which make such enor-
nous profits for these big corpora

SED|T|oN BILL
Attorney General Driven to ''Cy-
clone Cellar Storm Of .
Hot Protests.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The storm
raised against the Stirling Graham Sc
dition bill has driven Attorney" Gen.
eral Palmer to the cyclone cellar, and
that official now declares he never did
favor this bill.
With the attorney general getting
out from under, the men in charge of
the bill say he has an attack Of "co1d
feet" but the attorney general count
ers with the claim that he always
favored a sedition bill now pending II,
congress, and introduced by Mr..
Davey, of Ohio.
The Davey bill makes no reference
to a press censor. It is not as elab-
crate as the Stirling Graham bill, but
federal judge is given ample power
under it's provisions to read into the
law any views he may have on strikes,
which can be easily held to be "se-
ditious''
The Davey bill makes it illegal to
change any law of the government or
to- delay the execution of any law: Of
the United States" This latter pro-
| vision would put injunction judges in
| clover as they. always insist that their
edicts are the 'law' Of the land.
The house committee in charge Of
the Stirling Graham bill was informed
! that Attorney General Palmer was
'too busy to appear before it. 1t
was then that the "cold feet charge
| was made.
It is limited that If the attorney
general has "cold feet" the same
charge can be made against certain
! law makers The danger now is that
( a modified bill may be passed, with
the understanding that federal judges
will supply the "teeth." = -.
