For four decades, the party while ad

The Republican party, in conven-

SHIsEWD POLITICS. .

Chicago, ILL.,, June 14.-Onc Color
ed man sits OH the new republican
national committee. The newcomer
Is Henry Lincoln Johnson, political
leader OF his race in Atlanta and
head of tht Lowden faction which
controlled the Georgia delegation In
the national convention. He replaces
Capt. Henry S. jackson, formerly
of Atlanta, who now lives III New
York.
Formal announcement of Johnson s
selection threw the Coliseum into a
thrill Of real excitement and caused
the party to copy poll OF Il
state delegation. When Gcorgia's
name was reached on the alphabetical
roll call OF the states to report mem
bcrs Of the new national committee,
up rose the stalwart figure of Hen
nv Lincoln Johnson who is chairman
Of the state delegation and announc
cd in stentorian voice:
Georgia has elected to the repub
lican national committee Henry Lin
coin Johnson.
Cries of protest came from where
the Georgia delegates sat in the OK
.reme west end OF the rear row on
seats. These demands for vertical
ton Of Henry Lincoln Johnson's state
ment were taken up by other dele
gates in surrounding seats. Chairman
Lodge ordered the delegation to be
polled. The first man OH the list was
Johnson who is a delegate-at-largs,
"For whom do you vote?' johnson
was asked. He replied promptly:
"For Henry Lincoln Johnson.
Henry Lincoln Johnson's statement
that he had been elected national
committeeman was confirmed. by tho
poll, which stood II for johnson, J
for Roscoe Picket and not voting.
Previous to being seated as dele
gate Johnson had sent letter inti-
mating that he was no longer an as
r'sant for membership Of the nation
oil committee. Upon this camouflAgc
action he was seated as n delegate.
After being tscatCd as delegate his
Georgia delegates made him nation
nj committ ccman-thc only one III
that body. Lincoln 1t appears played
"decp" politics. and consoles himself
with "tho end jnstifics the means"

Il soft life for the men in 1921"
This. was the prediction made to-
day by q committee OF women who
have been investigating the financial
and economic statistics of Chicago
Their deductions were based upon a
comparison of the deposits in banks
for the last four years.
Woman as Financial Giantess.
In their report this committee sees
in the future an evolution of woman
from clinging vine to financial
giantess. Soon woman Is to take the
place Of man in the financial world
and he is 10 be relegated to the pO-
sition OF 4 mere .'hOuse husband"
Bank deposits show that women
are saving money in greater proper
lions than is NAH and in the last four
years their capacity for saving has
more tnan doubled. Big banks
throughout the middle west are es
tablishing separate departments for
the women. Four banks in st. Paul
have taken this step.

LEGAL BATTLE DUE
Heirs Of Harold Thorson To Fight
The St. Olaf Bequest.

st. Paul. April "A legal battle,
comparable to any ever staged in
Ramsey county courts, over the large
estate of Harold Thorson, Minnesota
banker and land owner, was forecast
today, when it was announced that
the College of St. Olaf, the residuary
legatee under the will of Mr.. Thorson'
had retained prominent attorneys to
defend the will in court.
The hearing on the petition to pro-
bate the will has been set for We'd
nesday. but it was said today by both
sides that a postponement would be
taken.
Mr.. Thorson, who owned and con-
trolled chain of banks in Mime.
sofa and North and South Dakota,
and land holdings in all three states,
died month ago, leaving a will dis
posing of his estate estimated in
value at nearly $2,000,000. ~,
His four children were left only
small requests. St. Olaf college au
Mortified is the principal beneficiary,
getting the residue of the state after
payment of specific requests of less
than 100000. The colleges share is
nearly 100000 under the will, it is
said. - .. .s
Efforts of the heirs to affect set
Element and induce the college au-
thorities to release part of the resid-
uary estate and avoid contest of
the will are said to have failed
Heirs contend that illness of Mr..
ThOrSon for two years before his
death unsettled his mind.
