Paris, Sept. 10.-Olive Thomas,
formerly widely known on the Am
erican musical comedy stage, and
for several years past . motion pic
ture star, died at II o'clock this

early that day by mistake, according

ssDRY'' NOMINEE
DEGREES TALK
OF SLUSH FUND
People Do Not Care 80
Cents About Campaign
Contributions.


: Hamline, Mimi, Sept. 10.-The
country at large, will not care 30
cents to find out the exact figures
or even the approximate figures OF
any campaign fund, said Aaron S.
Watkins, Prohibition candidate for
president in a speech at the Mime
sofa state fair today.
ut is said by some that all the
national elections since the Civil
war have followed the line of larg-
est contributions Mr.. Watkins
continued. 1.-THE fact that the side
with the largest campaign fund has
usually won may be case of cause
and effect one way or another. The
man who calls attention too large
ly to his opponents campaign funds
may be betraying the fact that the
swing is against himself.
"The real questions of this year
are the League of Nations, the la
Dor problem and the extinction OF
the liquor traffic"
Mr.. Watkins devoted the major
portion of his speech to discus
sion of rural problems, the most
important of which, he said, was
the steady decrease of rural popu-
lation.
He concluded: =.
"As long as boys and girls on the
farm are taught that the great op-
portunities, intellectual, social and
financial, are in the cities, we shall
cry out in vain against the exodus
from the farm. Whenever we be-
gin to plan the farm as a perman-
ent place to live and the best place
to enjoy life, then the farm will be
in condition at least to state its
problems to the country and to as
Sist in their solution"
