allies due to the shortage of
breadstuff. 1t was agreed that
production would be encouraged
by a guaranteed minimum price
of $3.50, and that no maximum
should be fixed. The bill passed
by two-thirds majority in the
senate and by majority in the

was urged by senators from the

No Mistake
"The president of the farmers
is opposed to the Gore bill and
says that the farmers cheerfully
acquiese in the fixing of max
imum price on the basis of the
prices prevailing during the pre-
vious crop year
"This is in effect what Presi-
dent Wilson told us. There is not
and cannot be any mistake about
that. Townley's telegram did
defeat the Gore bill, and it's de-
feat cost the farmers of this state
millions of dollars"

GIVE SERVANTS
PENSIONS, SAYS
FRENCH WOMAN

Paris, June Extensions for serv
ants as a solution of the eternal do
mestic problem is the suggestion made
by Louis Roya, noted French publicist.
Encourage servants to buy and use
economically and to abolish waste by
giving them a share of the sums they
annually save the household, says
Roya.
Establish a system of long-servicc
pensions for your maid, your butler,
your cook and your chauffcur-and
you will find that the servant prob
lem won't worry you any more.
"Put your own home on the basis
of your husbands business"

San Francisco, June 10
Rumblings Of democratic dis
cord over the prohibition issue
became hourly more .ominous to-
day as delegates and party
chiefs arrived in increasing
numbers for the national con-
vention.
Hope that the gathering
storm might spend itself behind
the closed doors of the platform
committee virtually was aband-
oned by the leaders and they
prepared to face an outbreak OF
debate on the floor of the con-
vention itself.
Takes Stage Center
Already the over ershadowing issue
in pre-convention conferences the
question of a platform declaration
against the present 'bone, dry law
almost took the whole stage for it.
self today as the gathering delegates
heard of Postmaster General Burle-
sons statement calling modification
of the prohibition law.
The league Of nations disagreement
along with several other disputed
platform measures has followed the
question of prohibition into an
eclipse. Most Of the leaders, it is
agreed, that whatever trouble de-
velops over the treaty will not be
over drop in the bucket compared
to the prohibition fight.
William J.. Bryan would be expect
ed to lead the bone drys and he pos
sibly would find pitted against him
orators of the first rank. Although
Mr.. Bryan is expected to make a
fight also against the administration
treaty plank the general belief of his
friends here is that he will reserve
his greatest efforts for the prohibi-
tion problem.
See Deadlock
Such talk as was today regarding
candidates seem to strengthen the
prospect of deadlock for several
ballots.
In the generally accepted view the
withdrawal of VIM. G. McAdoo will
operate to make deadlock more
likely by distributing more or less
widely the strength which had been
lined up against him. Some thought,
however, that a considerable follow
ing would vote for him despite his
public withdrawal while the most en-
thusiastic of the McAdoo supporters
were still predicting that he would
be the nominee.

10WNLEY BUNCH :
USED STACKER
CRY ON PREUS
Vicious Attack on Republican
Candidate in Minnesota Made
Just Before Primary
PREUS PROVED PATRIOT
Especial to The Tribune)

(SpCclal 10 Inc IrlDune)
st. Paul, Mimi, June 23.-Townley'
SIN stops at nothing.
One of the most vicious political
attacks made in an election in Min
nesOta in years was made by the
Townley gang against J. A. o. Preus
Republican elimination candidate foi
governor.
The attack, coming at the climax
of the campaign, may have cost Preus
thousands of votes, because the at.
tack came so late that it was diff
ficult for the Preus followers to re-
flute it.
Deface BiIboards
Vandals defaced the billboards car
rying the pictures of Preus. The
word "slacker" was pasted on the
Preus pictures. The defacements
came after charges that Preus had
escaped military service during the
= late world war.
The answer of the Preus followers
was the publication of a complete
record Of the candidate. taken from
the office of the adjutant general.
His record showed that, Preus was
commissioned a captain in the quar-
termaster corps of the Minnesota Ma,
tional Guard January IA, 1915. He
was called to Washington July 49,
1917 and was ordtred to report to
Col. Morgan for further instructions.
Morgan directed Mr.. Preus to present
himself to the U. S. army medical
officer for the prescribed physical
examination. as required by army reg
ulations. The medical officers prom
ounced Preus physically unfit for
military service. The examination
was reported to Col Morgan, who
reported it to the war department
and consequently Mr.. Preus was re-
leased from further military duty.
Preus Race Remarkable
Preus had been known as man
who believed in the preparation OF
the country for military emergency.
although not militarist in any sense
of the word.
The vicious attack on Preus served
as a boomerang, to those citizens TO
whom the published record was Civ
en-, but it is believed there were many
who did not have an opportunity to
Sc the published record.
The race made by Preus in the
face of division among regular Re-
publicans and the vicious Townlcy
campaign o. is considered here as a
complete answer of Minnesota to
Townleyism.
The total vote of the regular Re-
publican candidates opposed to Ship
stead, the Townley nominee. was so
great that it is evident that if Preus
should be nosed out by Shipstead
still the majority against Townleyisrl
was so great that the anti-Townley
voters would concentrate on Mayor
E. o. Hodgson, of St. Paul, democratic
nominee. who is Very popular, and
elect a Democratic governor

No more troops had arrived in
Londonderry up to p. m. this after
noon. AS many persons as are find
ing it possible to do so are leaving.
