KELLOCC'S SUPPORTERS ,..
CLAIM BIG FLOOR VOTE
Majority Requires 545 Votes;
Hallam Supporters Claim
1t Can't Be Done

St. Paul. March 2O.-Claims that
Senator Frank b. Kellogg will have
more than 500 votes on the floor OF
the Republican state convention were
made by supporters today. At the
headquarters of Judge Oscar Hallam
it was declared kellogg's claims were
Over-drawn and he would not have
more than $50 delegates on the floor.
Hallam's headquarters issued a
statement asserting the Kellogg
claims included large number of
unexpected delegates. The statement
said many of these would favor Hal
lam. The battle was reduced to one
of jockeying for position and putting
forth inducements. The convention
March 81 will seek loss delegates. A
majority will require o45 votes. Re-
turns from Saturdays county conven-
tions indicate Kellogg Will have about
500 delegates instructed or under
stood to have openly expressed them
selves as' favOring his reelection. kel-
logg's headquarters expressed conf
dence that he will receive indOrse-
ment on the first ballot.
Democratic county conventions will
be held throughout the state tomor-
row. Few, if any. delegates to the
state convention will go instructed,
it is believed. State Senator James
Farley of Plainview anu Mrs. Peter
Oleson of Cloquct are much talked of
as Democratic senatorial possibilities.

CURTIS SUCCESSFULLY
MEETS ST. CLOUD HEAVY
Bemidji Middleweight Secures
First and Third Falls in
d, Interesting Match

Winning the third decisive fall IN
one minute and twenty seconds With
a toe hold which made the big St.
Cloud wrestler prefer giving up, L. G.
Curtis of this city, won his match a.
|gainst Lawrence johnson at the new
Moose hall Sunday afternoon. Weignts

Ter appeared much heavier, neverthe-
less.
Weight was big handicap for tic
Bemidji mat artist but he overcame
this with his exceptional ability. Cur.
tbs possesses what is commonly called
the best pair of hands in the wrestling
game and those same hands were
largely responsible for the first fa.!,
which Curtis won after &c minutes of
the best kind Of wrestling. This time
Johnson gave up when Curtis got a
head scissors and hammer-lock work
ing at its best. Curtis took the aggT s.
i've throughout the first fall.
johnson took the second fall in 36
minutes and ten seconds with ham,
mer-lock, which forced Curtis to give
up. The second test was by far the best
of the match, both men taking the as
gressive at regular intervals.
Altogether the match was very sat
isfactory to those few fans who wit
messed it, and those who did not at
tend missed something worth while.
johnson proved to be very clecn
wrestler and a good sport throughout,
despite his defeat. Had Curtis lost tue
match, it would have been very little
discredit for him for the big visit
ing grappler was a hard customer.
Weight was the main factor which
kept Johnson in the going as long as
he was. Wrestlcrs near Curtis weight
would have lost out in the first hold
clamped on them, but Johnson proved
able to get away from many dam
gerous hold

BIG PACIFIC OPERATOR
FAV0RS SHIP SUBSIDY
Captain Robert Dollar Says
Passing Of Bill Will Aid :,
All u. S. Shipping

San Francisco, March 20 Omitted
Press 1.-The passing of the ship sub
sidy bill proposed by President Hard
ing will take from the mud flats many
of the SPLENDID freighters now warped
IDLY I'd their moorinSs, according TO
Captain Robert Dollar, veteran ship
operator, and one of the most power
full factors in Oriental shipping today.
Captain Dollar recently, returned
from a visit to Washington, where he
took part in the conference between
President Harding and Chairman Las
ker ana the members of the $3O,000,-
600 shipping pool recently formed by
Pacific coast shippers.
Captain Dollar, following his visit
to Washington. renowned his former
opposition 20 ship subsidy. He now
belives that it is the best mears al
hand of maintaining the American
merchant marine.
$50 far as the interest of mos. Pa
citic shippers are concerned, we do
not feel that ship subsidy is impcra-
tive" said Captain Dollar. "iloweve.,
it is necessary to the shipping business
on the Atlantic coast.
we nave run our business Oh tHc
most efficient lines, and have no conf
plant to make provided the govern
ment will sell Shipping board vessels
to private owners at 4 reasonable pri
&C. However, we believe that it would
be unpatriotic to oppose the GOV erl.-
ment proposition Of a ship subsidy
when such opposition would hurt the
idea of building up a national M:r-
chant marine and naval reserve.
"Undoubtly much of the great sea
traffic of the British Empire was l.ui.1
up through subsidy. The plan outlined
by President Harding seems cminentIy
fair and should soon put the American
flag back on the seas
Captain Dollars view Of the 5ituu
ton is shared by the shipping inter.
csts of the Pacific coast generally.
