MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS

St. Paul, Aug. 31.-Minnesota
democrats were planning today to
give Governor and Mrs. James M. COX
and party a royal reception when
they arrived here next Sunday and
Monday to attend the Minnesota State
fair.
Governor Cox is screduled to deliv-
er a thirty minute address on agr1-
culture in front of big grand stand
at the race track next Monday after
noon Just before the racing program
starts. He probably will speak from
the Judges stand at 1880 p. m. Since
he is a lover of horse racing, he Is
expected to occupy box, or possibly
a place in the judges stand during
part of the racing program.
Republicans are making elaborate
plans for the entertainment of Sena-
tor and Mrs. Warren G. Harding who
are scheduled to arrive here on We'd
nesday, Sept. 8.
Both candidates, seeking the presi-
dency of the u. S. will be asked to
refrain from political utterances,
since it is an old policy of the state
fair board to bar politics from the
grounds.

ence owing to the fact that in Japan
the death of an illustrious person is
often concealed for many days. One
of the first indications that matters
were becoming serious was the an
nouncement that the Lady Aiko
Yangahara Niino Tsubone, the en-,
perors mother, has gone to the great
shrine at Ise, to pray for his health.
One, daring newspaper even stated
that the emperor was suffering from
brain trouble, as has been quite gen.
orally reported, but this paper was
very soon visited by the police. It
is understood that it has been warned
that a second cffense of this kind
will result in it's suspension for good:
In the meantime the emperor re-
turned to Tokyo from the country,
with the expectation of +, going to
Nikko at the end Of July, as he gen.
orally spends the summer at his villa
there. The fact that he was not able
to. carry out the program was prob
ably what led to the announcement
being made by the imperial household
to the effect that the emperor "has
been" seriously ill, but is now recov-
ering. 1t adds that he is suffering
from glucoria, chip gout," nervous
trouble and difficulty of speech. While
the official announcement speaks
hopefully of his improvement and
probably speedy recovery, it is quite
generally believed that his illness has
taken serious turn, and the worst
news would come as no surprise to the
thinking elements:

SUCCESS OF IRISH LOAN
VICTOR OVER |MlLITARlSM'

London, August 16. (By Mail. -
Oversubscription by $4,000 pounds
fSterling) of the Irish Republican
loan which Emonn de Valera promot-
ed in the United States has been hail
ed by Sim Fein as. victory OF the
popular will over intense military ag-
gregation." 4.
It was planned to raise 100000
pounds (Sterling) by loan. A cam
paign was started in ireland year
ago, and subscriptions there as well
as in the United States were heavy.
The campaign was continued until
a few weeks ago, when 1t was an
nounced that the loan had been
largely oversubscribed despite what
Sim Fefners claimed were superhum-
an efforts of the British government
to suppress it.
In an announcement Of the sue
cess of the loan, the Sim Fem propa-
ganda department recite> a list OF
scores of arrests, raids and 1mpr1son-
ments by the Royal Irish Constabu-
larry in the futile effort to prevent the
raising Of money, as the loan an
nouucements said, for agricultural
and industrial development" and for
financing the Dali Eireann construc-
tive program.
From the time the loan started
there were frequent arrests of alleged
promoters, the bulletin claimed.
Meetings in favor Of the loan were
srafded, and newspapers which advo-
Gated it or accepted advertisements
in its interest were suppressed. At
various times, all Ireland was plac-
arded by night with loan posters,
which the police promptly removed
the next day. Many instances of ar
rests of individuals are cited, with
consequent imprisonment at hard la
Dor, for working in the interest OF
the loan or even for being found with,
loan propaganda. In one case cited
in the bulletin as typical. man was
arrested for having in his possession
a loan prospectus. Many of the men
arrested were members of Parliament.
So effective was the policy OF sup
preston, the Sim Fem announcement
states, that just before the compile
ton of the loan the campaign in its
behalf was almost abandoned. De-
spite this, the subscriptions continu-
ed to- a successful finish.

Hundreds of judicial and police OIL

resignations-unw the fire.

nounced the resignation Of 115 Of

later list gives the names Of sixty

constables, some of whom had served
over 40 years, who gave up their Jobs
within a fortnight.
The government apparently is find
ing increasing difficulty in filing po-
sitions in Ireland. Seinn Fem is CIV
Ing great encouragement to- police
men who resign-hailing them as
comrades and taking unusual care to
see that they do not lose anything
by leaving the British service. In
addition to announcing that they are
persona grata in Sim Fem circles,
what amount to employment agencies
have been opened to them.
The most recent list Of designations
gives 26 magistrates, SIX n1en police
officials whose service averaged over
80 years, II minor officials none Of
whom had served less than rs years
and 20 constables, who had served
anywhere up to forty years.
