in three strong parallel columns. But
more important is the information that
all Russia is ready to revolt against
the tyranny of the bolshevists, their
rotten government and the breaking of
promises by Lenine. The ignorant
peasantry and workingmen. easy to
fool and slow to awake, are coming
to a realization that the idealistic
principles of their present rulers
which promised them a heaven on
earth, are taking them to the opposite
destination and that they are OPP
pressed by militarism and dictator
ship worse than the despotism against
which they revolted. These conditions
will inevitably create an explosion. It
seems probable that the worlds use of
the Russian key will be determined by
the Russian people themselves.

BOlshevism in Russia appears to be
marshaling it's forces for one grand
smash to prevent going to smash I'M
der the disintegratng forces at home.
The military machine organized by
Trotzky, the erstwhile reporter on a
Jewish newspaper in New York, is
said to number 100000 men. It has
swept Kolchak, Semenoff and Deni-
kline, good fighters and strategists,
from it's path. Poland alone is it's only
barrier against western Europe and
the Poles are at death grips with it in
the Pripet district and along the
Beresina river. Trotzky's success has
been due to the impressment of the
military brains of the czaristic regime
into his cause. They we're offered the
alternative of giving their aid or suf-
fering extinction.
The Poles have withdrawn from the
Kiev region under the pressure Of 33
red divisions. In the Caucasus boil
shevtst agents are organizing resist
ance to the influence of England and
France. An expert in assassination
has been sent to counsel and intrigue
with the Persians. In India the boil
shevik poison has been working for
many months. In London Krassin,
the bOlshevist emissary, is negotiating
for peace and trade. Poland's peace
terms, offered weeks ago, have not
borne fruit. Russia appears to be the
key Of the world situation but the ma
lions do not know how to use it.
On the other side of the picture
comes the news that anti-bolshevik
forces under General Wrangel have
achieved important successes on the
Crimean front and are moving north

Marshall, may in spite Of his repeat
ed refuSals to go before the cOnven-
ton as a candidate for the presidency,
be put in nomination by his friends.
William ]. Bryan is also a possibility
although he has not made any positive
statement as to his attitude toward
the nomination.
A theory which has considerable sup
port is that McAdOO, Palmer and Cox
will deadlock the San Francisco con-
ventiOn much as did Wood, LOwden
and Johnson the one at Chicago, and
that Marshall will loom as 1.-The Hard
ing of democracy" He has the good
will of both pro and anti-administra-
ton forces in the party and his own
state-Indiana-is expected to support
him in the convention just as Ohio
supported Harding.
Many who believe that the election
will hinge on industrial and economic
problems, regard Cox as the logical
man. They also believe that the fact
of his coming from the same pivotal"
state as Harding will be an advantage.
AuCIA CuIG1 CHILLI LUZ Ills SIIGuSIu is
his record while governor of Ohio as
an advanced prOpOnent of labor and
social legislation. McAdoo's support
ers rely upon his record as admins
traitor of the treasury department and
the railroads and his other varied ac-
tivities during the war, and minimize
the effects of the title Grown Prince"
which detractOrs have placed upon him
as the sOn-in-law and political heir of
the president. Palmer, while not so
strong with labor as some Of the other
candidates and who is also looked
upon with suspicion by some of the
prOhibitionists, is probably, next to
McAdoO, regarded most favorably by
the administration. He relies consid-
erably upon his record as custodian
during the war of alien property and
later as attorney general.
That it will be an interesting con-
vention is certain. And they do say
that an effort will be made to get a
wet, or at least moist, plank into the
platform, which assures that Mr..
Bryan will be heard from.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1920-06-25

Most Of the talk of a third party in
the campaign is conferred in the an
nOuncement of the COMMITTEE of For
ty-eight" of an intention to meet in
Chicago July 10 to nominate candi-
dates for president and vice president
and formulate a platform. Inasmuch
as this committee is made up of indi-
viduals who must be classed as the
extreme, left wing of all parties, fer
vent radicals so to speak, it must rely
for it's support upon the discontinued
elements Of other parties. 1t remains
to be seen whether this would draw
more largely from one of the old par
ties than the other. In a question
naire sent out by the committee which
netted $1,000 replies, it is stated that
Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wis
consin was far ahead as a choice for
the presidential nomination.

to alfalfa. The fertilizing value OF
barnyard manure is so great and its
liberal application is so beneficial to
the alfalfa crop that specialists of the
United States department of agrfcul.
ture advise farmers to use all the ma.
nure they have available. The plant
food realized from the fertilizer will
tone up the soil and nourish the young
seedlings so that they will get the
jump on the weed crop. and once
given this advantage the alfalfa plants
will smother out the majority of the
enemies which may develop. Save Ill
the manure to which you have access
and distribute it in liberal quantities
over the field to be plowed for alfalfa
preferably before the breaking is at
tempted.

surplus soil moisture, that is to say,
well drained, while they also must be
