IBy Associated press.l

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3i.- Senator
Kenyon. of Iowa, leader OF the
uch-discussed agricultural bloc and
chairman OF the Senate Labor Com
mi,tce. was named today by Presi-
the Eighth Circuit. Immediately after
receipt OF the nomination the SEN
ate confirmed 1t unanimously In open
session.
At the White House II was said
that the President had appointed Mr..
Kenyon to succeed the late Judge
Walter ]. Smith because OF his high
regard for the Senator's ability and
because Of the latter's known desire
to have a place on the Federal bench.
Senator Kenyon. in a formal state

love for the law.

while he was confident that the APP

cause of the latter's eminent qualifl-
cations. the question would arise
throughout the agricultural sections
as to whether the selection was not
intended to drive a wedge into, and
ultimately destroy, the agricultural
bloc. Senator Hef1in (DemocraO, OF
Alabama. declared that, with the
Kenyon appointment, the drive TO
break the agricultural bloc has been
started"
Senator Kenyon does not plan to
quit the Senate until probably the

MINNESOTA TUNED UP FOR ELECTION
Many Women Have Been Indorsed
 for Various Offices

St. Paul, Minn., June 23.-Minne- sotas electorate will nominate party candidates for congressional and state offices in the statewide primary cleo tion, June 19, after one of the mild est campaigns in recent years. While interest in the primary was materially lessened by the workings of the new party convention law, un- der which conventions of each of the major parties endorsed candidates for the various offices subject to the primary, yet the appearance of a number of women's names on the bal lot is causing much speculation as to the result.
 Candidates endorsed by the party conventions go on the primary ballot with this fact stated after their names while others fling for the same offices are entered as independent" candi- dates for the nominations they seek
 Three parties have filed candidates for the primary: republican, demo- cratic and farmer labor, the last named including factions allied with the national nonpartisan league, which in previous campaigns has sought to capture the republican nominations.

the treaty of 1S19, then the thirty second degree of latitude, counsel for Arkansas will contend, must be the southern boundary of the state from Louisiana to the 100 degree of lon gitude However. should the court accept Arkansas interpretation that the Mexican" boundary referred to by congress was the Rio Grande, its decision must transfer to Arkansas all of Texas east of the 100 degree of longitude.
 Recently Arkansas was denied per mission by the supreme court to in tervene in the Oklahoma Texas boun- dary case, when it sought to assert title to the bed of the Red river, which was in dispute. It claims all the river between Oklahoma and Tex as under that part of the enabling act which read that the state should he "bounded on the west, to the north bank of the Red River" by the lines described in the Cherokee treaty in 1929.
 Arkansas may also decide in it's bill counsel stated, 10 assert claim to a part of Oklahoma under the act of June IT, 1S44 which it insists annex cd to the state "all that Indian coun- try" which had been attached to Ar kansas while a territory, a strip de- scribed as "bounded on the north by the north line of the lands assigned to the Osage tribe of Indians, produc- ed east to the state of Missouri; south by Red river and east by the west line of territory of Arkansas and the state of Missouri"

ARKANSAS CLAIMS

Preparing for Suit in Supreme
 Court for Land

Washington, June 23-Arkansas IS preparing for filing in the supreme court an original suit in which 1t will claim not only all of the bed Of the Red river, recently awarded to the United States in the boundary dispute between Oklahoma and Texas, but all that part of Texas east of the 100 de gree of longitude west from London, and north of the 32nd degree of north latitude.
 Counsel for Arkansas, engaged in the preparation of the case, stated to- day that seventy mile strip of ter r1tory east of the present western boundary of Louisiana would also be claimed, and that the supreme court would be asked to remove existing confusion as to what constituted the Mexican" boundary line, referred to by congress in the enabling act of 1886, by which Arkansas was admit ted into the Union.

There is help for every woman inthis condition, as evidenced by the many voluntary letters of recommend alton which we are continually pub fishing in this paper for Lydia E.
