NEW PARTY PLANS AN
 ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
Will Wage Ceaseless Battle Farmer Labor Nominee; Attack Major
 Parts of Platform.

Chicago July 8,-The new Farmer Labor party will conduct nation wide, 24-hour, seven-day week, town hall, street corner and front porch campaign" Farley Parker Christen- sen, it's presidential candidate, said to- night in statement just before he left Chicago for Denver and Salt Lake City to arrange his business affairs preparatory to a speaking tour in every state.
 MT, Christensen said the new party was undisturbed by the defeation of certain members of the Committee of AS, whom he styled coupon clipping intellectuals" and 'ipink tea uplift- CTS" and declared that they did not represent the Committee of AS, the great majority of whose delegates to 1 last weeks convention he asserted, voted in the affirmative on the plat form and candidates chosen by the combined Farmer-Labor-48 conven- tion."
 Returning here next Sunday or Monday, MT Christensen will confer with a general committee representing the various groups within the Farmer Labor party and then will proceed with the campaign.
 Attack BOlters.
 Out of 1,500 delegates merged in- to the Farmer-Labor party" the state ment said, "six individuals complained of the autocracy of the majority, and one of them obtained 54 signers to a petition to form new party. None of this group of rule-or-quit reformers represent the Committee of AS, when they undertake to repudiate the action of the combined convention. The vast majority of the 48-delegates voted to enter the Farmer-Labor party con- vention, voted for the creation of the Farmer-Labor party, and voted for the platform and candidates of that party"
 Declaring the Committee of AS is as much part of the Farmer-Labor party as the Labor party. MT, Christensen said that the organization would be represented on the National Executive Committee in the same manner as the Labor party.

OIL PROSPECTS LOOK
 GOOD NEAR FOREMAN
Drill is in Oil Bearing Sand, but the Amount at Present is L1mfted,
 Prospects are Good.
Showing of Oil Struck at
 63O Feet Monday Morning

Excitement ran high in Little River countv Monday when the report spread that the drill in the we'll near Foreman was resting in oil sand at a depth Of 63O feet, and many people visited the we'll from Ashdown and other places.
 p B. Williams an attorney of Fore man. was in Ashdown Monday evening and brought with hiN bottle of oil taken from the we'll, We have small portion of it at the News office for proof that there is oil in the well.
 About year ago, while drilling for water this same strata of oil sand was struck. and the work was stopped immediately as the rigging was not sufficient to bring in an well. Several . weeks ago the work was resumed, go- ing down in tn sam hole with larger drill. Three weks ago the drlller again entered the sand, and shut the plant down on account of having no casing, and it was not thought ad- ~visable to try to bring the well in.
 It was then decided to go few feet deeper and see what was really in the sand, Monday morning when the pumps were started they began to throw oil to the surface. Something like barrel of oil is said to have been pumped from the hole. It is thought by oil men that the oil is not in paying quantities now, and that the oil had seeped into the hole since the work was stopped sever al weeks ago, But expert say that it is their belief that it will be only a question of sinking the we'll little deeper and gusher vii be brought in. This we'll is located about one and a half miles southeast of Foreman and the locality looks good for oil
 Information could not be had as to the intention of the oil men, who are Foreman people, and Foreman. capital is putting the we'll down. It will be some days or perhaps weeks before casing can be obtained, and thorogh test of the we'll made. However exciti- ment is running high, and leases have jumped high in value with the excite ment,
 In conversation with Foreman par ties, they said that there was no doubt in their mind but what oil had been found, but not in paying quantities at this depth. They seemed of the opin- ion that it was only seapage that they had run into, but by going only a,ort distance further, they would be able to bring in real we'll.
 All Home Capital,
 One of the points that makes this look like sure proposition, is that it is backed by local. capital at Foreman, and they are not just starting a lease peddling campaign. They are

We find the inmates of the poor farm we'll cared for and sat isfied. but recommend that the sheet iron roofing on the building at the poor farm be painted, and that the barn be repaired, We also recom- mend that the lock on the jail and the clustering in the grand jury room be repaired.

ment. In this event the question Of
the Mitchell roadway may well form
an integral part Of the larger prof.
cct. The plan Of transforming the
Croton reservoir into great natural
playground Of green grass and open
spaces, with gateway from the
south.-colonnade or arch--already
has been discussed in these columns.
The site is one Of great natural
beauty and high enough to command
the entire surrounding area. Obvi-
ously, If such location were decided
upon proper approaches would be an
essential part Of the design. We can
imagine no better memorial to Mayor
Mitchell than such roadway. The
peculiar fitness Of using such play
ground as a war memorial would be
the lesson Of patriotism that it.
would place before the youth Of the
city, an ideal for which Mayor
Mitchell lived and died.
A very great responsibility rests
upon the new art committee created
by Mr.. Wanamaker. It needs all the
assistance it can get. The Mitchell
Memorial should certainly be held
open until the possibility Of using
this particular site for the larger
memorial can be fully considered.

ton" prevented him from seizing> an
opportunity now annexed by his
moro astute rival.
Mr.. Palmer is in the Administra-
tion. Mr.. McAdoo Is out Of It. That
circumstance handicaps the latter as
an "heir." In order to accentuate
his somewhat unavowed candidacy
he is compelled to develop differences
Of opinion with his former Cabinet
associates. Thus, when Attorney
General Palmer was evrestling with
the bituminous coal strike settlement
MIR. McAdoo intervcned with q
charge that income tax returns on
file in the Treasury showed that the
operators had made colossal averages
of profits under war regulation. 1t
was explained later that these exces-
sive profits were realized only by
few small, cheaply run mines.
Yesterday, again, Mr.. McAdoo
came out with proposal to reduce
Federal taxes and issue more bonds.
Such a plan runs counter to the pol
icy Of the Treasury Department.
which Is pledged to protect the bonds
already issued and to reduce the pub
lie debt. Mr.. McAdoo's suggestion,
therefore, doesn't indicate support of
the Administrators record "in
every phase"
The House Of Representatives has
voted to investigate Mr.. Palmers
connection with the Administrators
failure to hold sugar prices down to
the war level. How does Mr.. Nc
Adoo stand on sugar?
1t is regrettable that the ex-Secre-
tary of the Treasury can't recall his
recent letter and get into the Geor-
gia primary. Within the limita-
tions Of their obligation to the real
head OF the party, the two condi-
tional heirs to the succession should
meet on equal terms in the pre-con-
vention fight.
