Governor Of Kansas
 Assails Campaign Of NOnpartisan League

TOPEKA, Kans.. Jan s-Assailing the campaign being made in Kansas by A. c. Townley and Non-Partisan league organizers from North Dakota, Governor Allen in a statement tonight approved steps taken by former serv- ice men to oppose the campaign.
 "Townley has been able to present to North Dakota a lot of dreams which seemed real" said the statement. "The Non-Partisan league has lost control of the state government. The weakness and costs of his scheme have finally been exposed, and Townley is hunting new fields.
 "Townley and his tribe opposed ap- prOpriations for the war supplies and war materials upon which the very life of American legion boys depended at that hour. In the early days of the war their attitude discouraged volun- tary enlistment, discouraged the selec- tive service law. and tended to prevent | the government from meeting all its ! obligations. Lacking the courage to | so to war for Germany. they became | in effect. German emissaries in the rear.
 The former service men are oppos- ! ing Townelyism with orderly propa- ! ganda and so long as they express
 their opposition to Townleyism with ! the brave restraint which they now exhibit the state will have every req son to be grateful"

TRepublIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. S-A begin ming of industrial revival here was noted the last week in survey of con ditions by c. W. Grant secretary of the Employers association. Approxi- mately 5000 men have been put back to work and indications are that gradual improvement will continue un- til the automobile industry returns to normal, MT. Grant said. He added that the manufacturers generally expect the end of the slump in retail business to follow the annual automobile show.
 Although some of the large factories, including the Ford and Dodge plants are closed and no definite date set for their reopening, there are indications he said, that the inactivity may not be extended
 Numerous other factories are main- taining skeleton forces to which men are being slowly added. The Liberty Motor company today announced sev- eral hundred men additional would be taken on January r, while unofficial report was that the Continental Mo- tors plant would partially reopen Mon- day.
 The Dodge plant, it is said, is held ready to resume within week should 1t be decided to open. While a notice at the Ford plant says it will not re- open this month. there are reports that the suspension may not be for that long time.
 At the Ford plant preparations are being made for the payment of the

ECONOMIC SURVEY SHOWS BUSINESS
 CONDITION SOUND
[RspubIIean A. ?. Leased WIrel

ST. LOUIS, Jan. S-The condition of business in the United States is basically sound. and fear for the wei fare of commercial America is due principally to state of mind"-a nat ural consequence of the war. This Is the gist of the results of an economic survey conducted by the Mississippi Valley association, and announced to- night. Out of 5000 questionnaires sent to the 27 states in the valley" 5000 replies were received.
 The underlying thought in the an swers is that the business depression is caused by the consequent and necessary deflation of the imitation" and the demand for lower living costs. This condition was augmented, num- erous replies stated, by an era of ex- travagance in buying, without consid- eration for the future.
 Many expressed the belief that war time prices were too high, which. when the natural reaction came, brought about a tendency to confine purchases to necessities, and thus created a doubt in busipess to the future, re- sulting in a general attitude of watch ful waiting" for price stabilizaton.
 Many asserted no additional system of credits is needed. and but few laid the blame of business conditions to
  of credits. Matters will right them selves as soon as conditions in Europe become settled. some said.
 That markets are no longer hon. estly competitive" and that "a small degree of control by monopoly" has affected market conditions were asser- tions of some respondents and others declared market conditions were good
 To the question What additional system of credits should be inaugu- rated Qf any) to release money wher urgently needed in our agricultural and industrial centers?" many replied that profits of the federal reserve board should be made available for farm credits.
 Some recommended establishment of more farm loan banks and inaugu- ration of nome finance corporation along the lines of the foreign financ' corporation. authorized under tho Edge act.
 Keeping rates of interest below sew. | en per cent and enactment of farn tenantry laws to encourage persons t' | agricultural pursuits were recon | mended.
 A general opinion expressed wa "the less legislation anent business the better."

FUTURE EXCHANGES NAY BE BARRED BY
 PROH|B|T|VE TAXES
[RepublIean A. 2. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Sehedules for hearings on the proposed regula- tion of futures transactions on ex- changes in agricultural products by eliminating speculation were an- nounced today by the house agricul- ture committee. The hearings will close Saturday. when the committee will proceed to draft 6 measure.
 Representative of the Pacific Coast Cotton Exchange will be heard Tuesday. and South Dakota bankers will be among those to be heard Thursday.
 Four bills are pending before the committee. Two purpose to bar fu- ture speculative transactions from in- terstate commerce and the other two would impose prohibitive tax.
 Two deal with future transactions in grain, and two with cotton.
 Defenders of the future exchanges have told the committee elimination of all speculation would hamper business and be detrimental to the producers. Proponents of the measures have re- piled exchanges were intended as the common meeting places of legitimate sellers and buyers of farm products whereas the "speculator'' has intruded himself and manipulated the market to the detriment of both the producers and consumers"

 POWER. OF WORLD
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wlrel

MARION, Ohio, Jan. S-A naval pol icy to keep the United States one of the strongest sea powers until binding disarmament agreement can be reached, was discussed at a conference today between President -elect Harding and Representative Butler of Pennsylvania chairman of the house naval committee. 1t was indicated that although a final decision must await developments, the attitude of Senator Harding pointed to a continuation of the fleet construction program now in progress. Coupled with this program, however, would be material curtailment in civilian em- ployes of the navy department and var ious economies in the land station un- der navy Jurisdiction.
 MT. Harding long has favored an ef- ficient navy and he is understood to feel big navy policy might be con- tinued practically if steps are taken to curtail the strength of the army along lines he approved yesterday in confer ence with Chairman Kahn of the house military committee.
 He also favors strongly the reserve system for both army and navy and is understood to have indicated to Chairman Butler an adequate navy should be considered a requisite to na- tional defense.
 The question of the navy, however, hinges on what progress Is made in 1 the matter of disarmament among the powers.
 | Mir. Butler, who is inclined to place little faith in the proposal, expects to develop in committee hearings next week all information available on the probable consequences of disarmament This information he will turn over tc Mir. Harding.
 T am determined to know he said in a statement, what other nations sincerely desire in the way of an agree. ment to limit armament"
 Mir. Butler called MT. Harding's at i tention to the provision of the maya appropriation bill of 1916, requesting the president to make canvass O

 ton take advantage of this authoriza
 ton.

Lack Of Effective Business Management Blamed For Democratic Defeat In 1920 Campaign
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased WIre1


 LOS ANGELES, Jan. S-Immediate steps to organize the Democratic party for future campaigns under a national chairman who will devote all, or prac- ticaIy all of his time to party affairs" were urged tonight by William c. Nc Adoo, former secretary of the treasury at a Jackson day dinner of the South ern California Democratic club here.
 MT. McAdoo said the recent Demo cratic defeat was due in large measure to lack of effective national orgcni- zation and to the failure to get the Democratic side before the people through proper publicity" He declared he wished to criticise methods srather than individuals, and continued:
 The officers of the national oom- mittee are the business managers of the party and political parties in these days require business management Of the highest order. It is not the duty of the national officers to determine party policies nor to select the presi- dential candidates nor to use the DOW CTS of their offices to influence the se- lection of party candidates, nor tc champion the cause of any candidate for the presidential nomination. Moth ing could more certainly destroy the usefulness of national officers than to become involved in matters of this sort The establishment and maintenance of permanent national headquarters, with sufficient force to carry on its legiti mate operations. the raising of neces- sary funds for this purpose, the edu- cational work to be done through proper publicity, are all objects of the highest importance and should receive the whole thought and attention of the national officers"
 In all parts of the country, Mir. Me- Adoo said, Democrats "are asking eag- erlyrwhat is to be done for the future.
 We must have party leadership 1T the future that will stay on the job ans that will make the business of ths Democratic party its only job"

 After proceeding a short distance the latter turned suddenly, drew a re- V0lVer, thrust IL at Gates stomach and fired. As he pulled the trigger however, Gates swerved sidewise and struck at the bandits wrist. As a re- suit, the bullet merely grazed him
