Northern Lights
Affect Wires

New York, March 24.--Aurora
Borealis Monday night kicked up his
heels, danced all over the sky and
put telegraph wires out OF commits
sion.
The wire chief at Western Union
headquarters reported the company
had no instruments long enough to
measure the voltage in the electrical
currents. Natures skylarking in the
northland at times during the night
made telegraphy an impossibility.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, which also reported
it's telegraph service was completely
demOralized, said the northern lights
had not interrupted its telephone
service. Cable terminals were as hard
hit as was wireless apparatus.
Crowds In the streets were given
an opportunity to see an electrical

NEW POLITICAL
PARTY PROBABLE
LIB Il RAILS MAY
FORM NEW PARTY, WARNS
SENATOR FRANCE.

Washington, March 24.-Warning
that republican liberals" might
form new political party to fight
Bourbon autocracy" in an effort to
restore individual liberty was sound
ed in the senate yesterday by Sena-
tor France, republican, of Maryland.
With repeal of national prohibit
ton and the espionage act as the
chief planks in it's tentative platform,
Senator France declared that liberals
need not hesitate "to raise the bat
tie against the reactionary forces of
autocracy and un-American bour-
bonier."
1.-The democratic party, under au-
tocratic leadership" he said, "inglor-
iously abandoned the sound of the
sovereignty of the states voted with
out scruple huge powers to the chief
executive who was in violation Of
the constitution and every cherished
principle of liberty created the most
powerful despot in the world"
"If the republican party shall not
now become the party of liberalism
and of liberty" he declared, "then
there must be new and liberal par
ty which shall express the aspira-
tions of the millions of Americans
who now demand restoration of their
liberties
Along with repeal of the prohibi-
tion amendment, Senator France
urged reconsideration" of the whole
subject with local option and use of
certain alcoholic beverages"
Some of the planks were:
Operation of railroads by repre-
sentatives of capital, labor and the
public under interstate commerce
commission supervision.
Rejection of the ubiquitous" trea-
ty of Versailles and immediate estaD-
lishment of peace with Germany.
Reduction of the high cost of Nv
ing, with economy of federal expendi-
lures and reduced taxes.
A navy second to none and sys-
tenn of military training but postpone
ment of immediate universal train
ing.
Other demands were:
Woman suffrage, budget system,
agricultural development, federal en-
ployment agencies. abolishment of
child labor, generous compensation"
for service men permanently disabled
and development of the merchant ma
rine.
Senator France charged that pro-
hibition forced through during the
war while 100000 American boys
were in service" was unconstitutional
and an infringement upon individual
liberty and states rights.

COLBY FACING
BIG ISSUES
HAS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM
FOR SOME TIME TO
COME.

Washington, D. c., March "a
cambridge Colby took the oath oI
office yesterday as secretary of state
after official notification of his con-
firmation by the senate had been re-
ceived.
The ceremony took place in the Of
flee of the secretary of state, in the
presence of Under Secretary Frank
L. Polk and other officials.
Four big international problems
confronted Colby:
1. Turkey. This governments
views on this settlement will be trans
mitted to the allies within "a hours.
The United States will urge that the
Turks be permanently elected from
Constantinople.
2. Russia. An Arrangement is
being sQnght with the allies where
by restricted trade with soviet Rus
sia would be allowed at the risk of
the traders. The allies have yet to
answer Americas note on this offer.
3. Adriatic. A reply is due from
the allies to President Wilson's last
wherein he answered
their arguments and reiterated oppdk
sition to their scheme of settlement
in that region.
4. Treaty. One of Colby's first
big task probably will be negotiation
of "modus vivendi" agreements with
the allies and Germany to safeguard
Americas rights under the Versailles
treaty until it is finally ratified or
finally rejected.

VOTES
IN PRIMARY
WOOD CARRIES CITY-LOWDEN
WINS IN COUNTY BY 115
MAJORITY.

The results of yesterdays preferen-
tial primary, insofar as now received,
show some surprises to say the least.
1t was general surmised that Wood
would run strong in Madison and he
did, winning by vote of 800, which
is a majority of so over Lowden, his
nearest opponent. Lowden received
249 votes and Johnson 2O8.
For governor McMaster is far in
the lead in this city over Richards,
and ChristOpherson walks entirely
away from Dillon with big, safe ma
jority.
Every indication this afternoon
points to success for Lowden through
out Lake county, though there are
still several precincts to be heard
from.
One thing is certain, that the wom-
an vote was heavy in at least two
wards. In one of them Sc votes were
recorded from the fair sex.
The vote was rather light in the
Third and Fourth wards and heavy in
the First and Second. In the Second
ward 263 votes were cast and in the
First the number was a few above
800.
The interest at the primaries was
not anything that bordered on excite
ment over candidates. The>voter SIM
ply sought his ballot and listed his
KS, then forgot the whole matter.
More interest is being shown in the
returns, however, though figures are
coming in slowly.
