old GUARD IS WORRIED
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON June 9.-However
much the old guard Republicans may
have been jolted by the success OF
Brookhart in Iowa, the shock is mild
compared to what they would feel, if
one other primary, coming this month.
should go the same way
The reason is that this coming North
Dakota primary involves Senator Por-
ter ]. McCumber, who is chairman of
the senate finance committee. The
point is that if McCumber should fall
by the wayside, he would be succeed
ed under the seniority rule by the next
man on the list.
When it is realized that the next
man on the list is LaFollette, nothing
more need be said TO picture how
much meaning McCumber's fate holds
for the conservative Republicans
Robert NJ LaFollette in the seat long
held by Penrose, and before Penrose
by Aldrich-that would be a political
revolution, indeed
The North Dakota primary comes
on June 2s Il is of interest within
the state for the reason stated; it is
Of even more interest from national
standpoint. This primary is a clear
fight between the Conservative Nc
CuInber, and the tborough-going rad
ical Lynn J. Frazier Frazier in North
Dakota will be supported by almost
idendcally the same class of radical
farmers and other restless elements
that brought success to Brookhart in
Iowa. Frazier has much the same sort
If platform, and is much the same
sort of person, politically speaking, as
Brookhart.
Frazier Radical.
Frazier IS a thorough-going repre-
sentative oil the non-partisan league
which has been the center of so much
commotion in the northwest for more
than 10 years. He and the league be-
lieve in thorough-going state-owner-
ship of industry including mills, ele-
vators, and the like. Frazier is un-
deniably a strong candidate. He has
been governor of the state, and in a
recall election last fall. got 107 900 out
of 227 900 votes
McCumber, of course, is a typical
conservative Republican, in the senate
he has avoided formal identification
with the "Farm-Bloc." although North
Dakota is a state whose senator might
normally be expected to be leader
OF that bloc.
McCumber also has avoided identi
fication with the non-partisan league
although, during many years of Nc
Cumber's senatorship, the league has
been more or less dominant in the
politics of his state.
This North Dakota primary is very
interesting and very important. II
these were the good old days, every
Republican leader in the nation would
be taking hand in one way or an
other, in this North Dakota fight, tC

pieties, the presence of BaFillette ir

NO Time FIXED YET
FOR CONSIDERATION
FOR BONUS MEASURE
(Ry Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The SOL
diers' bonus bill was on the senate
calendar today but without any defin-
ite time fixed for its consideration.
Chairman McCumber, of the finance
committee, reported the measure last
night by unanimous consent after a
first effort to present ii under con-
sent agreement had failed. Senator
McCumber desires to have the SEN
Nate consider the bill in the near fu-
'ture But some leaders on the Re-
publican side oppose his plan, believ-
ing it unwise to displace the tariff
bill for a measure which is certain to
lead to a long and perhaps bitter
fight.
That there are sufficient votes in
the senate TO pass a bonus bill is con-
ceded by opponents, but whether the
measure can be put through in its
present form is problematical. The
Democrats plan to offer an amend
ment embodying a cash feature, while
Senator Bursum, Republican, of New
Mexico, now has bill providing for
a cash bonus. Many other amend
ments also will be offered. and, in ad-
dition. opponents of bonus legislation
in any form are prepared to wage a
determined fight
Supporters of the amended house
bill apparently are giving little con
sideration now as to how President
Harding views the measure as it came
from the finance committee. The leg
islation has been outlined to him in
detail, but so far as has been made
known he has not given an opinion to
the finance committee. Some of those
who have called on him recently, how
ever, have indicated that he has not
altered his opinion that any bonus
legislation passed should carry a
means of financing II

favorable public opinion necessary to
the success of great industry? How
valuable an asset is public opinion?
Three of the mightiest combinations
in the United States have answered
these questions and answered them
emphatically.
First came the baseball magnates.
When the great national pastime, in
which they had invested millions, was
struggling in the throes of scandal
arising from the Chicago Cincinnati
worlds series, they forgot petty diff
ferences and made Federal Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands the su-
preme arbiter of the game.
Lands has since done much to
eradicate the suspicion which clouded
the game in the minds of the fans.
Then the movie producers followed
suit. They picked Will H. Hays, post
master general of the United States, to
occupy a similar position in the movie
world with the hope that he could
raise the industry from the depths into

furnished city and county authorities
with a mystery today Zimmerman
was shot through the heart last night
by a man who employees of the road
house, known as the Oakeigh club,
say was disgruntled over the theft of
an accessory from his automobile
They were unable to identify the slay-
er.
Warren Wills. a bartender, told au-
thorities of attempting 10 protect Zim-
norman with a shotgun and firing four
times without hitting Zimmerman's as
sailant but causing considerable dam
age to the bar room furniture. Wills
said four shots were fired at him be-
fore the slayer ran from the bar room
and through Zimm erman's apartment.
Wills said the man, in company with
three women, visited the roadhouse
early in the evening but returned later
accompanied by another unidentified
man. Both men drove away hurriedlv
following the shooting, according to
Wills statement TO the officers. The
quarrel over the alleged theft of the
automobile accessory started before
the men left the first time and was re-
newed upon his return with his com
panion, Wills declared.
Zimmerman was so years old. He
was a familiar character to the po
lice. He was once tried for the mur
der of "Cy" Eaglen, another roadhouse
proprietor. but was acquitted on his
plea of self defense.
