SAY MONEY WON
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Johnson Men Assert Wood
Forces Spent Huge Sums.
Latter Resent Accusation.

NEW YORK, March 25,-Presiden-
tial campaign managers for Senator
Johnson alleged yesterday that the
General Wood forces spent at least
$4,000 to carry the South Dakota
primaries.
They charged that the Governor
Lowden men expended even more.
Lowden spokesman came back with
the accusation that the Wood men
contemplated throwing into Illinois
at least $1,000 900 to deprive the
governor OF his home delegation TO
the Republican national convention.
Al JOY acting national manager for
Senator Johnson, said yesterday:
1--WE know that there was no APP
parent limit to the amount OF money
spent in South Dakota by the Wood
and Lowden forces. IL was recently
stated in Chicago by man who
should know that the Wood campaign
In South Dakota cost 100000 ana
that Lowden's men spent even more.
I'VE no not regard the victory or
the Wood forces In South Dakota as
of any particular Significance. Scna-
tor Johnson had no paid organiza-
ton there.
ing money in Indiana as recklessly
as ii did In South Oak Ota,"
One of Governor Lowden's repre-
sentatives in New York, provoked by
charges that his chief employed vast
sums to carry the Virginia and South
Dakota primaries, retorted:
I'VE are reliably informed that
General McChesney, Illinois man
agcr for General Wood, contcmplates
the expenditure of probably million
dollars in Illinois alone.
"Plastering the billboards OF Hi
nois with Wood propaganda as out
lined by General McChesney costs
about 500, 900. Advertising space and
other expenses incident to newspaper
publicity as advocated by Colonel
Proctor will cost many times one
hundred thousand dollars. General Nc
Chesney has equally grandoise plans
for other States.
Can 1t be that William Randolph
Hearst has given the true reason
that money comes from those who
wish to finance bankrupt Europe at
the expense of solvent America?
Whatever the source OF this Niagara
of money, the people must determine
whether the Presidency Is TO be
bought"

Constance Talmadge, in the screen version of up the Road With Sallie,' ,
 is the star attraction at the Rialto theatre today, tomorrow and Saturday
 Sarah Elizabeth Waters, known to her intimates as Sallie, returns from 3 convent school to find herself unin- terested in the petty affairs of her small home town; and when her uncle's will provides her with 5000, along with each of the other legatees, she kidnaps her staid old aunt in her car and sets out for adventure. Whichever of the heirs uses his initial bequest to the best advantage is to receive the main residue of the estate.
 A storm comes up and the adventur- CTS take cover in a seemingly deserted house where they later find two young men. One of them carries locket which Sallie recognizes as her uncle's and so she immediately suspects the boys of being criminals; when she un- willingly displays big roll of bills, they too suspect her of burglarious entry. The storm continues for five days, during which each pair tries to reform" the other; Sallie and Smith Jones'" as he calls himself, develop a great fondness for each other.
 At the abatement of the storm the sheriff quarantines the house, mistak- ing it for another from which small pox case has been reported.
