NORBECk SAYS BENSON
WAS PLAYING POLITICS

Pierre, S.. D., July 3.-The work of
Speaker Benson and his little group"
prompted by his failure to obtain the
nomination for lieutenant governor,
caused the defeat of some of the i'm
portant bills before the special ses-
sion Of the legislature, Governor Peter
Norbeck charges. The governor made
the statement in commenting on the
work of h special session.
Disappointment over his failure to
secure the nomination for lieutenant
governor caused Speaker Benson to
make threats against the administra-
ton, which he certainly carried out
with great skill at this session." the
governor said. His little group was,
bold and well organized. They worked
in conjunction with every dissatified
element, including members Of the
nonpartisan league and together they
succeeded in defeating several i'm
portart measures, including the eff
cheney bill, which represented my
third effort to obtain a law securing
efficient service and a days work for
a days pay at the State House.

1t will perhaps be conceded that Pre-
mier Venizelos OF Greece has a knowl-
edge Of conditions about Armenia al
most II not quite equal to that pos
sesed by the United States Senate.
This fact lends some interest to what
be has to say in q Paris cablegram
concerning an American mandate for
that distracted victim of bloody Turkish
oppression.
The number OF troops needed to adj
minister the mandate would not be
100. 1000 but only about co. Oo. The ex-
pense, accordingly, would not run into
the tens of millions Of dollars yearly.
but should fall far short Of the more
conservative Senate estimates, The
soldiers sent over would not have to be
drafted and would not have to be-
drawn from the ranks of native Ameri-
can who would not be exposed in sue
cessive divisions a after year to
slaughter n disease and despair In
