NAMES OF MEN
INVOLVED IN
PLOT KNOWN
Grand Jury Prepares to Take
Action as Soon as Evidence
Presented by Officials.
Outlaws Held Meet
ing in Cemetery
BY Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ca, Dec. %.
Guards kept up their vigil tonight
about the homes of the five city
commissioners of Columbus, in
readiness to combat any attempt of
bomb plotters, whose alleged plans
were disclosed yesterday in an
nouncements by the authorities to
destroy the residences and other
property of the city officials.
Other than to maintain their
watch for possible indications of an
outbreak by the plotters, the Of
ficials marked time tonight, await
ing the return from Atlanta of Wal
ter F. Flournoy, who was today APP
pointed solicitor general of the
Chattahoochee superior court cir
cult. 1t was thought possible that
the new solicitor, who succeeds c..
f. Mclaughlin, resigned, would
make some move in the case as one
of the first acts in his new office.
Whatever action Mr.. Flournoy
takes towards apprehending the
would-be bomb throwers, he will
have the support of his predecessor
in office. Mr.. Mclaughlin announced
today that he would aid in every way
m the Investigation of the alleged
bomb plot and would assist his sue
cessor, if asked to do so.
No Indications of arrests is given
by the authorities, although 1t has
been stated that they have the names
of several men who are alleged to
have met Tuesday night in a ceme-
terry and made plans to blow up not
only the homes of the city commits
sioners, but apartment houses and
factories belonging to certain mem
bers of that body.
The grand jury met today In spe-
cial session to consider the case, but
adjourned without taking action to-
ward bringing the plotters to justice.
Judge George p. Munro recharged
the body on law enforcement He
told the jurors that he would keep
them in session until near the open
ing of the February term of court
and that they were to keep a look
out for any in -ormatlon that might
be used as evidence against the al
legged bombers.

Reservations Made
In ratifying the treaty of peace
with Germany the Senate made a
reservation that the United States
should not be represented on repara
lions commissions without consent of
the Congress, and no such consent
has been given. Moreover, in Great

explicit terms for rates of interest

Ing with the European situation. the
first principal step would be to free
the hands OF the commission so that
helpful negotiations may be under
taken.
TT is quite generally accepted that
the adjustment OF the question of
reparation must underlie any eco
nomic rehabilitation of Europe and
rcparations cannot be settled with
out the consent OF governments con-
eerned. The United States cannot
assume to say to one nation what it
shall pay in reparation nor to an
other what 1t shall accept
I'm discussion with foreign govern
ments. the previous administration
and the present administration have
insisted that the question of Euro
pean debts to the United States is
distinct and apart from the question
of PREPARATIONS, but Europeans hold a
contrary view, and it is wholly con-
slstent to invite a conference for
the consideration of questions. in
dealing with which the government
is denied all authority by act OF Con-
gress.
No Promising Prospects
$50 far as the Limitation of land
ornaments is concerned, there seems
to be at this time no more promis
ing prospects of accomplishment than
when the conference was held in
Washington a year ago. Here. again,
I venture to warn the Senate against
the suggestion to our own people
of a gesture of promise to the world
which cannot be fulfilled until the
nations directly concerned express
their readiness to cooperate to such
an end.
with respect to limitation of
auxiliary types of naval craft. which
are not limited by the present naval
treaty. 1t is to be said that such an
agreement is much to be desired,
whenever practicable, but we may
reasonably postpone our further en-
deavors along that line until the
agreements made at the Washington
conference secure the final sanction
of all governments concerned Very
truly yours.

FORMER ASkOV WOMAN
DIES

A telegram was received here
Friday by relatives stating that
Mrs. J. ]. Miller had died on her
farm home near Seeley. Wis.
Death. was caused by a paralytic
stroke. She fell out in their
yard while going about her
work. never regaining conscious
ness before the end came a few
hours later.
Mrs. Miller's maiden name was
Marie Paulsen and she was a
daughter of Jens Paulsen of
Askov and sister of L. A. Paul
sen. south of town. She was 43
years old at the time of her
death; was born in Illinois, later
moving with her folks to Iowa,
then to Tyler in this state, and
about Is years ago came to Askov
where she resided until 4 years
ago when she and her family
moved to Wisconsin. She leaves
to mourn her sudden demise a
husband, seven children, small
est of which is but little over
a half year old, father. brother
and other relatives.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted Sunday and the body laid
to rest in the Seeley cemetery.
Jens Paulsen left on the early
morning train Friday for a visit
with his daughter and family,
having received word that she
was not feeling we'll but did not
arrive at Seeley before she had
passed away. Mrs. l.. A. Paul
sen and Mrs. L. Mosbak left for
Seeley early Saturday morning
to assist with the funeral ar
engagements. All three returned
to Askov last evening.
Mrs. Miller was a very kind
woman and she had many friends
in Askov that had known her
from both Tyler and here-since
childhood-who were shocked to
learn of her sudden death. She
was of the honest and pioneer
type of women. the kind that
will go out and help their men
hew the forests when necessary
to earn a livelihood. The sympa-
thy of many is extended to the
bereaved relatives in their hour
of sorrow.

James p. Mcdonnell, editor of
the Waverly Star and Tribune,
who was indorsed for Congress
by the 10th district Democratic
convention at Minneapolis. an
nounces that he will not be a
candidate for the place.
While pleased beyond measure
to know that Democratic men
and women have such confidence
in me. yet it is necessary for me
to state in justice to all that l
cannot enter the race for con-
gress", says Mr.. Mcdonnell.
"Assuredly | am always in the
fight to help preserve American
ideals of equality and justice, to
help bring back the old prosperi-
ty. which left without saying
goodbye, but shall do my
fighting as best / can in the
ranks with the other toilers and
strugglers."
Two years ago MIR. Mcdonnell
was the Democratic nominee for
lieutenant governor.

POLITICAL COLUMN


That the state wide primary
law as it relates to state officers
is billed for the discard is seen
in the almost general acceptance
Of the several tickets named at
the recent party conventions
held under the terms Of the new
convention act. So impressed
seem those composing the usual
bi-annual crop Of pie hunters
with the unquestioned party
backing given the several tickets
that few have had the nerve to
file in opposition and it looks
very much as if these party
tickets would survive the June
primaries intact. In the case
of the Republican convention
ticket the opposition to date is
practically nil and that it will
reach the November election
without any marked change is
a bet without takers. To put
the state to the expense Of in
GLIDING either in the June pri-
mary offerings would seem a
reckless waste Of the tax payers
money, but those in charge of
the states election machinery
have no other alternative and so
both tickets must be made avail
able for the voters. There are
no figures on file by which the
cost Of elections in Minnesota
can be accurately determined.
but the best posted says the
figure for this year will not be
far short of $l.OOO,OOO. This
does not include various city,
town. village and special cleo
tions, many of which are held
annually. In st. Paul and Mime
apolis the average cost of an
election is between $4,000 and
$4,000. The late party conven-
tons cost the state less than
$25, 900 and the results are in
every way satisfactory from a
party standpoint. For better
than quarter of a century legis-
latures have been tinkering with
the states election laws and the
output is by no means a credit
to the state. Some of the
additions, notably the primary
law, have only increased the cost.
AS to the official tone and fitness
mediocority is more often the
rule.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1922-05-04

many filings for county Offices
and the state legislature as is
now recorded in the various
counties in Minnesota. Hundreds
have gone office mad. The prize
position seems to be that of
sheriff. In several counties an
even dozen candidates are listed
for this one office alone. Asked
for an explanation, one upstate
official said that all he could see
was that a majority of those
after the various official posi-
tions were jobless. All that was
required was a small filing fee
and with the primary law as the
medium each figured that his
chances were as good as the
other fellow. In many cases the
pie hunters are said to be abso-
lutely without fitness.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1922-05-04

Two years ago about this time
party leaders were in throes of a
primary contest that is probably
without a parallel in the history
Of the primary act. No less than
six candidates were listed for the
Republican nomination for gov
ernor while seven was the figure
on the Democratic side Of the
house. OF the Republican con
testants three were easily dead
ones at the state and a fourth
proved so when the ballots were
counted. With the Democrats
the ratio Of dead ones was ever
greater. What the 1920 state
primaries cost will never b.
known. but that the expense
represented a pretty penny goe.
without saying. In sharp con
trast is the present contest. Onl,
two candidates have filed for the
Republican nomination for gov
ernor while q number of thu
other convention nominees arr
without opposition. As to ,
preprimary campaign there vii
not be any to speak Of. The con
ventions did the trick. 'Grea
is the convention"

Mrs. Peter Oleson, Democratic
candidate for United States sem
ator, is nothing if not an adver-
tiser, though some may not agree
with the methods used. Acting
on information, said to have been
supplied by Zeke Austin of Min
neapolis, that her nomination
was manipulated by Republicans
interested in Senator Kellogg.
Mrs. Oleson has asked Attorney
General Hilton to give the rumor
his official attention. Money was
used she has been informed. AS
the evidence is all heresay MIR.
Hilton has refused to give the
matter serious consideration.
He says it sounds like the work
Of practical jokers. Mrs. Oleson
is facing additional trouble in
possible demand that she file
under her own name instead of
her husbands first name and
without the prefix Mrs. At
torney General Hilton has SO
ruled in the case of other women
candidates for office.
