will give several similar contests dur
ing the coming months.
Much credit is due to Raymond
Hannah, tenor, who, besides carrying
out his own part in the program, took
the place of Don Gray who was un.
able to participate in the concert on
account of illness. .
The program previously arranged
was we'll carried out and every num-
Der was greeted with favor. Miss

In Presidential Campaign Ac@
cording to Developments -.
Of Past Few Days !
SENATE IS NOT LIKELY
TO TAKE FINAL ACTION
If Such Should Occur Public
Attention Would Be At
tracted at Once ~
BY L. G. Martin

Omitted Press Correspondent.
Washington, March 2.-The pro-
hibition enforcement may over
shadow the treaty as the big issue of
the presidential campaign, according
to developments of the last few days
in the political situation, as 1t be-
comes increasingly evident that the
sepate is not likely to take final &C.
ton on the treaty, and that the
treaty issue will be thrown into the
campaign there is an apparent move
ment to dwarf it by injecting prohi-
bition into the fight.
This movement is believed to have
the backing of some politicians who
do not want the treaty as the para
mount issue in November. Their be-
lief is that prohibition would over
shadow the treaty and that this
would be particularly true, 1t is held,
If the two parties went into the cam
paign with slightly different treaty
blanks, both favoring reservations,
any so-called Americanizing reserva-
lions.
But the clear3cut isuse of beer and
light wines for home consignment
as against the present strict enforce
ment of. dry laws would get public
attention at once.

NORTHWEST ROADS IN
MUCH BETTER SHAPE.
THAN OTHER SECTIONS
For Private Control Turn-O Over,
Says Executive Heads
of Systems
(By United Press

St. Paul, March 2.-Railroads of
the northwest are in much better
shape than roads in many other Sec
tions Of the country for resumption
of private control.
While executive heads of the lines
had made preparations in advance
for resumption of private control,
many readjustments are now made
necessary by passage of the Esch-
Cummins bill.
In the Twin Cities, the chief relic
of government administration of the
roads is the joint ticket offices, which
will be maintained indefinitely, Off
Gals said. In addition to the down.
town consolidated ticket offices the
station windows will be maintained
jointly.
The Northern Pacific has settled
upon organization and methods to be
adopted under private ownership.
Its. machinery, is ready to assume
responsibility:
! The Great Northern has undergone
adjustments and changes in depart
mental administration.
Most Of the Omaha pre-war admin
istration is intact Few others of
the many roads operating in the
northwest have made significant
changes in administration.
There have been many stories
abroad that the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and Burlington
routes would merge soon after pri-
vate operations are resumed. Off
cials have pointed out that congress
will have to change the antitrust
laws, apparently, before such step
could be completed.
