Auburn Republican.

w. r. Dutton: Congressman Graham's ad-
dress to the republicans Of Nebraska was a
startling revelation. His indictment Of the viii.
son administration Is SO astounding that one
stands aghast at his reckless expenditures, crmi-
nal incompetency and partisan misrue. That
orgy Of squander and mismanagement was so
great so vast in its effects SO injurious, that
the people will suffer from 1t for many years to
come. The meeting and Graham's speech will
wake up Nebraska republicans and do a world
OF party good.

Congress Graham correctly sensed the
dominant issues in the coming campaign-re.
duction Of government expenses and conse.
quent reduction in the tax burden, and relief
for the agricultural and business interests.
He made a clear presentation of what the
republican party has done in these matters and
also vital contrast when he put against the
claims of the democrats to what they would
do If given power the facts as to what they did
with the country's resources when they had

Frank II. Taylor: The republican confer
ence and speech Of Congressman Graham at
Lincoln last week ought to arouse the people
to the gigantic Job the republicans assumed
when they took over the rein OF government, and
to the fact that $4,000 O0O, 900 deficit cannot be
met without sacrifice on the part of those who
have to pay the bills. Efficiency without waste
is good doctrine.

A concrete statement of republican accom-
plishments in national achievements is startling
in it's scope of economy and reduction of expense.
Cannot expect full recovery from the plight the
nation found itself in at the end of the world
war to be reached in day even wholly by
legislation. Facts brought home at the Lin
coin meeting should inspire renewed confidence
in the good faith and sincere effort of the pres
ent administration.

"The younger couple have a boy 6

the eyes look quite close together.

Editor National Leader: It is about
a year ago since congress was pc
titioned requesting the revival of the
grain corporation and we have had no
results. Now, brother farmer and .fel-
low citizen, we must admit that the
industrial unrest is due to the fuctu-
ating of the agricultural products.
Therefore, it is the duty of every
American to use everything available
in bringing pressure upon congress
and the senate to establish uniform
price on agricultural products, based
on average cost plus a fair profit to
the producer. Nothing short of the
above mentioned will ever solve the
economic problem and settle the in
dustrial unrest of the American

IN BANKERS CARE

A western cattle raiser offered
Minneapolis friend Is per cent interest
for $4,000 for 80 days. It was spring.
His cattle were lean. The bank alb
solutely would not wait until the
cattle could be put in condition.
The friend Investigated and decided
to make the loan. The banking
fraternity got wind of it and Mime
apolis banker informed him that he
would be "broken" if he made the loan.
The bank could do this little thing;
and so the cattle raiser was left to be
skinned by his local bank. It took
away about $4,000 in addition to the
face value of the notes it held.

Insurance a Success

CONTINUED from mage 81
The hail insurance law provides for
the creation of permanent surplus
out of the flat tax, and when the 1922
levy is made the surplus in the fund
will be over $2,650,0OO, and it is
hoped that enough taxes will be COL
lected to make possible the payment
of the 1922 warrants the early part of
1923. AS hail taxes are deducted from
the indemnity the amount of warrants
to be issued for 1922 losses will not
exceed $2,900,000.
The hail department has put on an
extra force to expedite the work of
checking adjustments in order to get
the warrants out to the respective
owners at an early date, and it is ex-
pected that every claim will be certi-
fled by November 80.

traordinary phases this fall as the
paign probably will go into ex-
result of developments of the last
several days which have indicated
that an election which it appeared
might 60 by default on some Of
fices will become battle all along
the line. With Nonpartisans free
ly stating that William Lemke was
selected as candidate for Gov
ernor because he is "dynamiter"
and that farmers are in an ugly
frame Of mind over the trend of
prices, it is evident that the league
expects to put up a hard fight
against what appear even to it's
leaders to be great odds.
1t is the senatorial fight, how
ever, which bids fair to develop un-
usual jockeying to win the favor
OF voters. J. F. T. O'Connor will
open his campaign at Hankinson
on Friday, September Is, and it is
expected that he will be out prac-
tically all of the time from then
on. A clever campaign speaker,
Mr.. O'Connor will make the most
of his opportunity.
The campaign for former Gov
ernor Frazier, it is understood, will
be carried on along national lines,
with particular emphasis on the
declaration that Mr.. Frazier is a
Republican and would support the
Republican organization in Con-
gress at time when it is possible
that the Republican majority may
be reduced considerably in cleo
tions. The tariff may become an
issue. Senator Ladd voted for the
tariff and was one Of the members
of the farm bloc insisting on high
tariff on farm goods. It is ex-
pected that Frazier will follow
him, in this regard and will OPP
pose O'Connor on the ground that
the latter, being a Democrat, is
inherently opposed to the tariff
principles.
Mr.. O'Connor will make known
his platform on September Is but

the Democratic platform adopted
at the state committee meeting
held in Bismarck it is foregone
conclusion that he will emphasize
points in It. This platform, on
state issues, commended the "Inde-
pendent Voters officials" selected
at the recall, and without specific
ally endorsing the entire Nastas
administration approved of the
fusion plan advanced by the Com
mittee of Forty-Five. The O'Con-
nor campaign will be based chiefly
upon local issues, with the declar-
alton that the question before the
people is whether they want o.

MINERSRETURN

Walk0ut of Five Months End
ed When Most of $4,000
Strikers Begin Operations
(By the Associated Press)

Wy Vic <ASSOCIdLcu xreSS)
Scranton, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE
contract that sent 155,O00 mine
workers back to work, at their
old wages after being idle more
than five months was formally
signed today by representatives
of the miners and the operators.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 11.-Mos!
oe the $4,000 anthracite mine work.
ers on strike for five months re-
turned to work today. Many of them
did not wait for the formal signing
Of the agreement which was ratified
Saturday but were waiting at the
mouth of the mines when the whis-
ties blew at 6 a. m. Signing of the
new wage scale by union officials
and representative of the operators
was set for II o'clock.
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, declared at
least SO percent of the men were sat
isfied with the new scale and that q
great majority would resume work
today. The remainder, he added
would return as soon as the mines
are put in condition for operation.
By the end of the week, it is ex-
pected, several hundred thousand
tons will be on the track. Leading
operators said the normal output of
two million tons week probably
would not be reached before the last
of this month.
