Brown Picked
by Democrats
ATTORNFy OF WINONA TO RUN
AS SENATOR; CARLEY
SELECTED FOR GOV.

Despite statements to the contrary.
L. L. Brown of Winona will receive
the Endorsement of the Democratic
state convention next Friday as the
candidate for United States senator
to oppose the Republican candidate,
Frank B. Kellogg.
Senator James A. Carley of Waba-
sha will be the choice of the Demo-
Gratis to oppose j. A. O. Preus for
governor.
Although Brown was quoted few
days ago as declining any considera-
ton as candidate for the Senate, it
developed Saturday that sufficient
pressure has been applied ito bring
him to a consideration.
Thus far is the Democratic ticket
prepared and Democrats of the state
are hopeful that they will succeed in
winning at least one of the offices.
Brown, who is, after many years
of active service, more or less inactive
as legal counsel for the Chicago &
North Western railroad, made only
one attempt to win public office,
when he opposed the late James A.
Tawney for Congress. At that time
Brown made a whirlwind campaign
and narrowly missed election.
Senator Carley, it is understood, is
anxious to get into the fight against
Governor Preus. Between the two
there is not the best of feeling.
Both Brown and Carley will attend
the jefferson day banquet which the
Democrats will give at The Saint
Paul next Saturday night.
Delegates to the Democratic state
convention are making reservations
in large numbers and the indications
are that the dinner will be the most
successful ever held by the Demo-
Gratis in this state.
Thomas Jefferson McDermott will
be the POSTMASTER and United States
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi
will be the principal speaker.
Those in charge of the dinner are
Howard Everett, Democratic state
chairman; James A. NOVEL;, M. j.
Carr, Henry F. VESSEL and McDer-
mott.-St. Paul Dispatch.

AID FUND FOR LOCAL ROAD
USES IN MINNESOTA
rs DIVIDED.

Redwood county's share of the larg-
est road aid fund in state annals is
$25, 100000, it was announced this
week. The money is for the more
important roads in the county, other
than so-called Babcock roads on which
only trunk highway funds can be
used.
r. P. Chase, state auditor, Henry
Rines, state treasurer, and Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commissioner,
make up the board which apportioned
the big fund. Auditor Chase said the
division furnishes another striking ex-
ample of the well known fact that the
average county receives more from
the state than it pays in direct taxes.
The county minimum is increased
more than SO per cent over last year,
he said, without increase in taxes and
the counties receive hundreds of thou
sands of dollars more aid for road inn
provements.
This is one of 83 out of the 86 coun-
ties given allotments of $4,000 or
more, each receiving an amount ex-
ceeding that which it paid under the
1-mill tax levy. The three other
counties -Hennepin, Ramsey and st.
Louis-for the first time receive maxi
NUNS Of $4,000 each, but consider
ably less than their respective 1-mill
tax totals. Ramsey county commits
sioners transferred $4,000 to Dakota
county. Last year the three counties
listed got $4,000 each and many as
little as $16,578 each against $4,000
minimum under the new apportion-
ment.
The balance from the three "rich-
est" counties swelled allowances to the
83 others under the state aid principle
that counties Of low assessed valua-
tions should be helped with road inn
provement and upkeep. That prin-
ciple was adopted in the so-called Bob
Dunn constitutional amendment to the
constitution and the state levy was
increased from 1-20-mill and A-mill
and later to 1-mill, the rate now of
the state highway aid fund.

Important Topics
Are Discussed
MISS KENNEDY AND GRANT
RAIN TALK TO PARENTS
AND TEACHERS.

The meeting of the Redwood Falls
Parent Teachers Association which
was held at the high school Monday
evening was attended by about eighty
persons all of whom were tiv
pleased by the program given. Two
very excellent talks were given.
Miss Fern Kennedy, superintendent of
the schools of Redwood County, gave
a splendid e,.tine of the child welfare
work, illustrating her talk with cases
which have come under her own juris-
diction as chairman of the Redwood
County Welfare Board. Miss Ken
nedy gave short history of the ORR
gin of child welfare work, and also
went somewhat into detail about the
carrying on of the work, its need and
its scope Since Miss Kennedy's talk
was very educational it is probable
that the Gazette will publish it, at
least in part, in some issue soon.
The second talk of the evening was
talk on training for citizenship
given by Grant O. G. Rain, principal
of the Redwood Falls high school.
Mr.. Rain based his talk on the old
maxim that the first seven years of
child's life are the important years
in his training and made the following
four points to be emphasized in the
home training during these years.
First: Teaching the difference be-
tween right and wrong.
Second: Teaching obedience to
authority.
Third: Teaching the principles of
thrift.
Fourth: Teaching the gospel of
duty and service.
The four points were well elucidat-
ed and the talk was one of the. most
forceful the Association has listened
to.
The lighter numbers of the program
were also greatly enjoyed. These
were very well endered reading by
Miss Anna Rain. violin solo by Mrs.
Rol and vocal duet by Mrs. Treu and
Mrs. Hillig. The program was fol-
lowed by the usual social hour and the
serving of ice cream and waters.

Fortune Hunter
IS Well Presented
COMEDY BY LOCAL ACTORS
MAKES BIG HIT WITH AUDI
ENCES OF WED. AND FRI.

The Fortune Hunter was the offer
in at the armorv both Wednesday
and Friday evenings of last week, the
presentation being made by the Red
wood Falls Dramatic Club as bene-
fit for the Women's Clubs of the city.
Both presentations were very well at
tended and the audiences were great
" pleased with the production. Max
r. H. Treu acted as stage director
and much Of the success of the per-
Torrance is to be credited to him.
In itself a clever comedy full Of en-
tertaining lines and amusing situa-
tions the Fortune Hunter lost nothing
from it's handling by the local cast.
The title role was taken in really pro-
fessional manner by Ward Baldwin
who carried the heavy part with an
ease and poise which told Of the con-
sistent study and work he had put
on it. Possibly the bit Of character
work done by Edward johnson. as
Tracv is deserving Of mention as be-
ing the most notable next to that of
the leading part. For person who
has never been red-headed person

A Correction

j. F. O'Meara, road engineer for
Redwood County, calls the attention
of the Gazette to an error made in an
article published last week. This
error occurs in the item concerning
the letting Of four road contracts for
work in the county. The article
states that these contracts were let
for s.graveling" the roads. 1t should
read that the contracts were let for
grading the roads. Since this article
has caused some little comment among
road men, the Gazette is very glad
to make this correction and to state
that the error was made by the editor
and not by Mr.. O'Meara.

Townley to Quit
As President
NONPARTISAN LEADER RESIGNS
BECAUSE OF LACK OF HAIR
MONY AND CONFIDENCE.

Fargo, March 25.-A. G.. Townley
today served notice on the North Da-
kota state convention of the Nonpar-
tisan league that he intended to resign
as president of the national league
organization.
This announcement was coupled
with a declaration of his complete
severance of relations with the North
Dakota league organization. 1t fol-
lowed speech in which he made an
impassioned appeal for harmony In
the party ranks. q
Mr.. Townley led up to his climax
with statement that the fight had
hindered his work as the head Of the
organizationi that the charges in the
Courier News in the last six weeks
and the reprinting Of these charges
had it's effect upon the work Of the
league in other states.
'The conditions are such now," he
declared, "that can be of no efficient
service to you any more. cannot
work without the confidence of men,"
Preceding this he had deplored the
effect of the fight in destroying the
confidence of the membership in the
league in Lynn j. Frazier and in Will
liam Lemke, former attorney general,
and others of the leaders who had
given their services, paying an especi-
al tribute to Lemke for his unselfish-
ness.
Il don't like his house he declared,
"but love the man, and this fight has
destroyed the confidence of the peo-
pie of North Dakota in him."
His final announcement came as a
complete surprise to the convention,
and after the first moment of blank
surprise for both friend and foe, sup
porters of Mr. Townley jumped to
their feet with protestations of their
belief in him. The speaker, however,
did not want to hear these, but hur-
ried from the hall and to his hotel.
Once the fire of the former leader
fared forth while he was approaching
his climax. It came with reference
to the 'balance of power"
Il believe in it, declared the speak
er, Il believe in the balance Of power
plan, and III prove that I am right
in this belief in America yet

New Bill to
Block Dumping
MEASURE WILL SHUT GATE TO
BIG TIDE OF GOODS COMING
FROM EUROPE.

German humping VI Soouo, oIcSh
Ieantastically low in price, will be
CANNED by the tariff bill expected to
be Eeported from the senate finance
com Aaittee April / or soon thereafter.
authoritative outline of the
tari situation showed that the bill
will shut the gate on big tide OF
cottdh goods, knitted wares, machin-
ery, tools, socks and stockings, paper
products and paper, toys, woolen and
cotton fabrics now rolling into this
country, despite the barriers erected
in the emergency tariff bill last
spring.
The cheapness Of production in Ger
many at. this time-the mark stands
at $50 to the dollar, and labor earns
about So or So days responsible
for heavy dumping process.
But under the valuation plan adopt
ed by the finance committee, it is held
that German goods will cost here
about the same as home products.
"And, other things being equal, Am
ericans will prefer their own pro-
ducts" said the tariff spokesman. :,
The committee calculations use gold
standards. In other words, the Ger
man mark price, the Danish ore rate,
or the English pound figure, is taken
and converted into American dollars.
The tariff rates are. based according
ly.
To take a concrete example: A 100
piece plan china dinner set made in
Germany costs, at the present rate OF
exchange, $7.20. In this case, COM
parison can be made with the Amer
lean market price and an ad vaorem
1(according to value) rate of so per
cent is applied. The chinaware then
costs $11.52 at port.
Rates Based on Specific Tariff
The American product costs $11.55
to make, and the wholesale selling
price is SIT. Hence, the German and
the American start at about an equal
footing.
Most of the rates-about 80 per
cent-are based on the specific tariff
plan. This means a flat amount add
ed to various good. For instance,
cotton gloves costing in Germany
about So dozen will be taxed about
So, varying with the length of the
gloves.
The present bill, differing in it's
method of valuation but arriving at
virtually the same effects, will run
perhaps per cent higher than the
Payne -Aldrich tariff, it was stated.
The committee is striving to reach
adequate valuations, especially in
view of official statements that the
government loses millions of dollars
each year through differentiation.
The committee has borne in mind
protection for American industry and
American labor. In this connection,
it has figured that one ounce of gold
buys 17k hours of American labor
and more than 200 hours of German,
under the present deprecated ex-
change of Germany. On this calcula-
ton, it is held that the tariff barrier
is the only effective means of putting
the goods of the two countries on any
thing like competing basis.
At one time Germany was able to
sell iron and steel goods in New York
in competition with American pro-
ducts, though west Of seaboard this
was impossible because of freight
charges added. Pittsburg, hence,
has the edge, and will continue to re-
main predominant in the home market
through the protection granted by this
bin, it IS held.

NEW YORK CITY IS. STORM BOUND TODAY
Several Fatalities--Coal Supply
 Nearly Exhausted

New York. Dec. 2o.---Thousands ol volunteer snow handlers were called to the shovels todaysto help dig New York city out of its first biz storm of the season--a blizzard tof snow and sleet which, starting yesterday under moderate temperatures. be. came overnight an icy gale which threatened to paralyze all transpor- tation. N
 The storm took it's toll of hundreds of injured. From early last evening until daybreak hospital ambulances were bringing in pedestrians with broken arms, fractured legs or cracked skulls, who had fallen yic- tins to the treachery of ice covered streets. Most hospitals were crowded to capacity and the problem of car ing for new arrivals became increas- ingly grave as the list of injured mounted.
 Two Are Killed.
 to have been killed in falls on the city's thoroughfares
 The wind reached high velocity
 Combined with the unaccustomed burden of snow, it worked havoc with above-ground power and telephone lines, street car transp ission, cables, roofs of buildings and large trees.
 Boats Are Damaged.
 Lives of pedestrians in some sec tions were endangered by falling signs, tumbling chimneys and smoke stacks. Thousands of dollars of damage were believed to have been sustained on Long Island and Staten Island where numerous small craft were washed ashore. Along the water front the toll of damaged buildings was reported heavy.
 City officials were out bright and early today in personal canvass of Bowery "soup kitchens" flop houses" Bowery ''soup kitchens" flop houses" and bread lines" recruiting snow shovellers with which to aug ment the force of 24,0O0 advertised for last night. ".
 Traffic Tied Up.
 Throughout the storm six thousand achievements, armed with shovels, labored with the city's snow remov- ing engines. But the mechanical blows were unable to do more than keep the thoroughfares passable.
 The sleet encrusted the tracks so thiclxly that part of an elevated train left the rails. The slow speed at which 1t was crawling through the binding storm is believed to have sa ved its seyeral hundred messengers from a serious accident.
 Railroads were asked to concen- trate on maintaining unimpaired freight service in order that the city with barely AS hours reserve supply of coal on hand at harbor terminals, might not be confronted by an actual fuel famine.
 Fuel stocks anthracite and bitu- minous in addition to those in the bins of dealers or consumers, were estimated by fuel administration o.fi- cials at less than 62,o00. tons.

CROSBY HALL MAY
 BE A DORMITORY
Unusual Education Project in Eng.
 land Would Utilize Famous Structure.

London, Dec. 29.-An unusual ed ucation project is being forwarded by the British federation of university women. It contemplates taking a five hundred year lease on Crosby Hall, a 18th century structure on Chelsea ,embankmeht. for use as residence for foreign women graduate students.
 Besides being considered one of the best architectural models of it's per- tod, Crosby Hall is immortally famous for the many historic events with which its name is associated. It was originally built in Bishops Gate in 1446 as the Great Banquet hall and city residence of that wealthy and popular knight, Sir John Crosby. After Sir Johns death the hall be- came the residence of Richard Glou- cester, who was afterward, Richard III.
 The hall was later purchased by Sir Thomas Moore, who occupied 1t for several years, entertaining Henry VIII and other noted visitors.
 At the beginning of the present century the building was torn down and removed piece by piece to Chel- sea embankment, where it was recon structed and used during the war for housing Belgian refugees.
 If the university women raise the 25.oo0 ponds necessary, they plan to build an extra wing capable of ac- commodating forty graduate students.
