Referring to the early days OF his

that the pioneer Presbyterian flowed

Mr. Marshall asserted that the sepa-

not enough Presbyterians to consti-

The vice president declared he was
deeply interested in peace. He said
he hoped the church would not lose
its influence for peace by discardi n g

Twenty Of the Districts youngest

barked on a lifelong journey on the
sea Of matrimony during tho summer
vacation period which Ia rapidly
drawing to close. Fourteen Of them
are lost to the school service, having
resigned. while the remaining half
dozen have decided to report back at
their classrooms September 20 with the
prefix Mrs" attached to their names.
Their marriage has not caused any
great concern in school circles, as
school officials expected a few mem
beers Of the teaching personnel to take
advantage of the opportunity. Then
again. this is leap year. =
What school officials cannot ascer-
tain is why some of the teachers who
were married are reluctant to admit
it They resigned without giving any
specific cause. Investigation show ed
they had been married.
One official last night advanced the
theory that some had been married in
secret" and added that others were
a little shy and did not desire to be
vexed by their large circle Of friends

preference in a Presidential candidate
would be for some man like LaFollette
Gronna, Reed, Of Missouri; Bailey, of
Texas; or Hardwick, of Georgia. AS nc
one Of this stripe seems to be exactly
in the running now, they are ready to
lend support for the nomination tc
either Borah, Johnson, Champ Clark
or Bryan.
In the Minnesota Presidential pri
maries Johnson received the almost
solid support of the Nonpartisan
League counties, the counties where
pro- Germanism predominates, and from
Socialist and radical precincts. For
this reason it would be just as impos-
sible for Johnson to receive anything
like the normal Republican vote from
other elements in the state as it would
for Victor Berger. Minnesota is Re-
publican state, but l believe no man Of
Johnson's leanings can carry it,
The Johnson vote in Chicago sur
prlsed no one in this part of the coun-
try who goes about with his eyes open
The only question was whether it would
go to Mayor Thompson, Johnson or some
other candidate more friendly to the
elements from which it came than
either Wood or Lowden.
Exactly what reasons some of the
elements mentioned have for support
ing johnson it might be difficult to say
But, whatever they may be, they would
doubtless be equally good reasons why
the rest of US should not want him
They are not asleep or disinterested in
political affairs. All of them are in
tensely active and they are sparing no
efforts to defeat those they do not like,
even though they may not be doing it
by voting for chose they really prefer.
1t may be that what all these German
elements are striving for in their politi-
cal activity at this time is just to
secure an administration sufficiently
friendly to enable them to obtain re-
lease from prison for certain of their
friends and relatives, and to get some
sort of revenge on the loyal Americans
who did, no doubt, make things rather
unpleasant for them during war times

he Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: have long been reader of The
Tribune and a great admrer of your
editorial page. But Of late l have been
somewhat Disguised with your constant
naggng at one Of our most prominent
Presidential candidates, Senator Hiram
Johnson. While l am strong Wood
partisan and expect to see the general
nominated and elected on the Republic
can ticket, do not think it conducive
to party harmony to be casting slurs at
his most prominent rival.
In this mornings Tribune Ding (who
has been boosting Hoover for the Re-
publican nomination. has cartoon
picturing Hiram Johnson in 1912
mounted on a bull moose which has
kicked over the Republican elephant on
top of old Bill Taft According to Mr..
Hoover's own testimony, he also sup
ported the Progressive party in 1912,
and think if Leonard Wood were inter
rogated he also would plead guilty to
the same offense. In fact, the great
majority Of Republicans voted for
Roosevelt that year. In 1916 Johnson is
pictured throwing a brick at the G. 0. P.
elephant The implication in this pic
ture is utterly false. Hiram Johnson
Loyalty supported the Republican ticket
in 1915, while Hoover (Ding's favorite)
openly supported Wilson in 1915 and
