FRANK MIvoR NOMINATED.
Has Plurality of 3s6 Votes Over Fiv'
Opponents. Returns Show.

Frank McIvor, of Hoxie, has re-
ceived complete returns from the pri-
mary showing that he was nominated
by the Republicans of his district for
the state senate BY a plurality of $50
votes. There were five candidates in
the race against him and c. w. Miller
of EMS, kan, ran second the total re-
turns show.
against a situation in Wallace county
that he has been unable to explain.
In the Republican primary there were
652 votes cast and in the last general
election two years ago the total Re
publican vote was only 421. The only
way this can be accounted for is by
attFibuting the big primary increase to
an increase in the population in the
county and by figuring that many
Democrats called for Republican ball
lots

Harding's Election to Mean
Dollar Wheat, Says Cox.

Syracuse, N. Y, Oct. 49,
DOLLAR wheat" and business
stagnation will come in the
near future unless il is certain
that the United States will go
into the league of nations, Gov
ernor Cox asserted here today,
speaking to business men.
"If America is to isolate her
self from the world, AZ some
political leaders advocate, she
must reduce her production to
her consumption, and that would
send us back fifty years in
dustrially," Cox said.
"My judgment is that dollar
wheat and a business recession
more emphasized than during
the last few weeks will come
unless it is certain that we are
going into the lengue.
''rhe market for our surplus
has been in Europe. but Eu-
rope cannot get credit to buy
until it is assured that she can
pay her war debts, and she can
not give that assurance until
all nations agreed to end ex-
penditures for armament.
How any business man who
strips himself to his own con-
science can be against the
league is more than | can I'M
derstand. The excess profits tax
should be repealed. but If we
are not in the league by this
time next year there will be no
excess profits"
Cox declared that the law of
supply and demand in Europe
fixed the price of wheat in this
country, and that the price had
declined during the last few
weeks because there was virtual
ly no European demand for our
surplus.
