IS Ready, However, to
Stump Couf1try For Re
publican Ticket. 4

Fort Dodge, Iowa. June 15.-Sena.
tor w. S. Kenyon, who has returned
to hie home here for a rest, declared
today that he was disappointed that
the Republicans failed to nominate
a progressive for president but said
that ne was willing to take the stump
to help tns re a Republican victory in
November. Prior to the convention,
Senator, Kenyon campaigned for
johnson.
The people are SO disgusted with
the Wilson administration" said Sen.
ator Kenyon, that they will elect
Harding. The Republicans, however,
may as we'll get over the idea that
the election is a cinch and it be-
down TO hard work for the. ticket.
Governor Coolidges nomination for
vice president strengthens the ticket

country west of the Mississippi is for

also will be forgotten by the Demo-
Gratis Either McAdoo. Marshall or
Cox will be named by the Demo-
Gratis.
The most disappointing part Of
the Republican convention was to see
the delegates unable to act until they
received word from sick boss in
Philadelphia. There will be strange
parallel at San Francisco when the
delegates will await word from q
sick boss at Washington. There
never was a chance in this boss con-
trolled convention for man OF Hiram
Johnson's type. The convention was
strong for Roosevelt-he being dead.
If Roosevelt had been alive he would
have had about as much chance in
the convention as Johnson. If John
son had been dead he probably would
have had as much coincidence as

pie want are the kind of men the
bosses are determined the people
shall not have. The men who sup

The Plot to Socialise the Schools
Seventh Insfallment- Gilman of the Plot

When 1t became evident to Mr..
Totten that '<our program Of edu-
cation in the state'' was going to
be hard to introduce at tho uni
veraity on account of the idea of
the president that eanineuce in
scholarship rather than cmineuce
in Socialism was to govern In
making appointments to the IA
Guilty. he dect1ed that q change
was necessary. He therefore be-
gan active steps to force the res
ignation OF President Thomas r.
Kane.
The denouement of this affair is
still fresh in the mind of tho public
and 1t will only be necessary to run
over the main points in the matter.
The first indication Of the plot was
an organized effort on the part Of the
league press to rouse
public opinion against the president
by the distorting and mAgnifying Of a
number of trifling incidents such as
the Maurice Smith hasing, AFFAIR (dur-
Ing which as Mr.. Totten phrased it
the young man WAS thrown Unto .
coulee Of water'). followed by the
exposure In the Independent press of
the state Of the plot to remove DR..
Kane.
This was denied at the time by j,
N. Hagan. one Of the members Of the
board, who. 70 do him Justice. may
have been honestly ignorant OF jus,

where Totten's schemes were lead
ing.
Spill the Beans.
Shortly after this. however, Totten
and Muir spilled the beans by asking
for President kane's resignation, at
first citing as the reason for this re-
quest q bunch of vague charges over
a year old. and when they found
these would not hold water basing
the demand on the alleged lack Of
harmony. between the president and
some of the members Of the faculty.
As result Of the storm Of indigna-
tion which the exposure of this plot
reused throughout the state, A. c.
Townley sent Mr.. Hagan to Grand
Forks with orders to take charge of
the situation. and extricate the Nom
partisan league from the situation in
which it had been placed by the bone
head play made by Totten, Muir and
Governor Frazier. He finally sue
ceeded in doing this. but not before
Totten's motives had been pretty
thoroughly exposed.
The Last Straw.
Totem II said to havo showed
his hand somewhat too plainly
when he wrote to certain aluInni

DECLARES FARMERS
ARE NOT BENEFITED

Washington, June 15.-Benjamin c..
Marsh, secretary of the Farmers Ma
tional Council, who clashed with
members of the resolutions committee
of the Republican national conven-
ton last week when he attacked the
Transportation act as 'nnAmerican"
issued statement here today declar-
ing that the section of the Republi-
can platform on agriculture does not
contain a single declaration to reas-
sure the farmers of America"
The Republican platform. Marsh
said, ''recognizes several existing evils
in farming conditions but does not
pledge action to justify them
'-The platform naturally endorses
the transportation act and the legisla-
tion to turn the peoples ships over
to the British and American shipping
interests" Marsh added. These two
measures jointly will spell financial
loss and perhaps disaster for hun
dreds of Thousand of farmers"

John G. Salts, Endorsed By
Townleyites and Regular
Socialists in Tenth Con-
gressional District Of the
Gopher State.

What one Townley candidate foa
congress in Minnesota would do witt
Liberty bonds lis told in the following
letter from F.. G. r. Gordon, anti,
Socialist speaker:
About the first of this year the
Socialist party nominated John
g. Salts for congress in the
Tenth district Later on John G. 4;
Salts was elected delegate to
attend the Socialist party con-
ventiOn held in New York city,
which nominated Debs for presi-
dent. About six or, seven weeks
ago I had q debate with John
G. Salts in Richmond hall, Ain-
neapoiis. At this debate John G.
Salts said before 600 people,
that one Of the first THINGS that
the Socialists would do when
they obtained power would be to
repudiate all Liberty bonds. In
other words cOnffscate all LIB
erty bonds reminded him that
his Socialist gang would have q
big job on their hands because
10000. .O8O people had bought
Liberty bonds.
Now, John G. Salts is the
NOnpartisan league candidate for
congress in the Tenth district OF
Minnesota. Still, there arc some
men running loose in North Da-
kota. who hasftily assert that the
Nonpartisans have nothing to do

MOVEMENT IS
IN FULL SWING
Tenants Are Buying Their
Own Apartments in
New York.

New York, June 15.-An Gown your
own apartment" movement is in full
swing here. Two late evidences of
It's growing strength are the purchase
by the tenants for $2.5o0,000 of an
apartment house on Fifth avenue and
the starting of construction on CO.
operative apartment on Park avenue,
which is to cost $4,OO0,00O.
Just the other day it was an
nounced that Woodrow Court. an
apartment house occupying the entire
block front on upper Broadway, be-
been sold for 100000 to the So fam
lilies residing in the structure. This
is said to be the first deal Of such
magnitude to be 100 per. cent cooper
ative and in which tenants of lnoder-
ate means have participated. In this
deal each tenant only put up a few
thousand dollars nscash. In the
ant was called upon for $150,000 in
cash.
Starting about eight months ago the
transactions in cooperative buying of
apartm ents have mounted. in volume
until they are presently fixture of
realty dealings and all Of the larger
real estate agencies maintain special
departments in which the employees
do nothing else but handle the sales
Of apartment houses to tenants. This
itsst tenerally profitable transaction
s1bH the. owner for tenants are willing
ITO BAY more to zssa4 their homes
than specaalators Of investors, would
pay and II is said to be, profitable
for the tenants in that 1hey assure
themselves Of homes at a cost of only
about seven years average rentals.
Tenants are approached both indi-
vidually and through mass meetings
when agents have apartment houses
to offer. The tenants are given q
certain length of time to decide and
if they wish to take the property the
agents form company to- own the
building to which only tenants may
subscribe, to stock. The purchaser
of the stock gets a 99-year lease.
The shortage of Office and commer-
cial space has been only second to
that for housing purposes in New
York and cooperative purchasing Of
office and loft buildings by tenants
has begun, although it has not as yet
reached the proportions Of apartment
purchasing by tenants. Transactions
in business buildings differ from
apartment sales in that while coop
erative buying is done it is seldom
100 per cent so, the usual deal In
wolves the purchase by a club of a
half dozen or SO business tenants. who
apportion the space among them
selves and then lease the remainder.
The management in both cases is gen.
orally vested in some we'll known
