PROCTOR SAYS
STATEMENT OF
BUTLER FALSE
Manager of General Wood De-
nounces Charges of Unscru-
pulous Persons Behind Gen.
erals Candidacy.
BLAMES THE SENATORS
(By Associated Press)

CINCINNATI, O., June 15.-Colonel
William Cooper Proctor, manager Of
General Leonard Woods campaign
for the Republican presidential nom
ination, on his arrival home from Chi
cago today. sent a telegram to DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, president Of
Columbia university, saying that his
statement, given out yesterday rela-
tive to General Woods support, was
wholly false and made with malici-
Gus disregard for the truth"
DR.. Butler, In his statement, is quot
ed as saying that such gamblers as
oil and mining promoters, munitions
makers and other like persons sought
to buy for General Wood the presiden-
tial nomina ton.
. Charges 1t To Senators
''The senatorial influence. the same
influence that has prevented ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty, was respon-
sible for General Woods failure to
obtain nomina tion," said Colonel Proc
tor.
NEW YORK. June 15-Charges
that "a motley group Of stock
gamblers, oil and mining promoters,
ammunition makers and other like
persons seized upon so good a man
as General Wood and with reckless
avidity started out to buy for him the
presidential nomination" were made
in statement given out Monday
night by Nicholas Murray Butler. an
unsuccessful candidate for the Repub-
lican nomina ton.
1T was the cause of genuine sor-
row to me as to many others Of Gen
oI f,;1 Ir lo1 cniI
'to see him have this support. There
was nothing to do in order to save
the Republican party but to defeat
the band Of men that were behind
him with their bank accounts and
their great financial institutions. This
meant that we had to defeat General
Wood himself"
Worst In Country
The forces that were defeated in
their insolent attempt to buy the
nomination." DR.. Butler added, "rep-
resent all that is worst in American
business and American political life
1t is really too bad that they hit upon
General Wood as their choice. They
should have found some one to sup
port for whom the country has less
regard"
"The chief task of the convention, "
the statement said, was to prevent
J, the sale of presidential nominations
at auction to the highest bidder Had
this not been done the party faced
not only certain defeat, but crushing
dishonor. The 6S New York delegates
who voted for me on the first ballot
were the chief factors in stopping the
Hindenburg drive to overwhelm the
convention by the power of unlimited
money and very strong-arm methods
in preferential primaries"

ormen. Whitehead figures gazed aloft
scanning the heavens for clouds that
betokened winds favorable or un-
favorable.
With the start set for noon from
the Ambrose Channel light vessel, the
rival shippers conversed with their
navigators regarding weather and
wind conditions which would deter

They knew that the rules called for
a windward and leeward course of 80
miles, but by the direction Of the wind
alone would the course be charted.

Both shippers were hopeful of bring
ing the races to a quick and decisive
close, with three straight victories

The Farm and
the Farmer
az WILLIAM r. SANBORN

Speaking of being right on time to
the minute and ready for action. con-
slider a farmer who has wheat in the
stack long before others have even
harvested a shock. Consider, further.
that this wheat was stacked in 1919,
and that it was examined Wednesday
morning and found sound and in good
condition.
What's the answer? Well, here Is
Stephen Kuth's explanation. after
stacking this wheat last summer we
took a little vacation. When we got
back the threshers had quit. They
were either spending their easy money
or running shredders. We shall now
have the pleasure Of threshing two
crops at one time and, incidentally. Of
getting much more for the old crop
than If sold early last year" Mr.. Kuth

has had raspberries galore but thinks
that this week will end the season.

ming to tassel. Threshing crews are
setting threshing dates in Union, the
Fosdick ring holding their meeting for
that purpose on Wednesday night.
To Thresh Wheat and Timothy.
1t was related that a Fountain City
farmer was to thrash his wheat to get
the timothy seed. This proves to be
correct. Clayton Beard says that the
timothy took one of his wheat fields
and that the former will be the most
valuable Of the two seed crops so that
the wheat will not be cut until the

Gay evening.
Hay Crop Short in PrebIe.
Joseph Poos, elevator owner at
Eaton, says that there has been no
hail damage close around Eaton, but
some farther south and east was re-
ported. The Poos elevator still holds
some old wheat and there is also some
still in farmers hands He reports
oats as up and coming; that the new
wheat promises to be of fine milling
quality, and that corn has made a re-
markable growth. 1.-The weak spot is
hay this year, the crop being light,
while pastures having had ample rain,
are in good condition.
