vOLSTEAD OPPOSED
BY AN OLD ENEMY;
LEAGUE IS FACTOR
Nonpartisans and Democrats to
Combine Forces in Mime
sofa Race.

ST. Paul. Mimi, Sept. 12-Congress-
man Andrew j. Volstead, father of the
prohibition act, will be opposed for
reelection in the November election
by the man who defeated him in the
primaries two years ago.
This contest in the seventh Mime
sofa congressional district rivals in in
terest the three-oornered fight for the
United States senatorship, In which a
woman-Mrs. Anna Dickie Olesen-
has been setting the campaign pace
for her two male opponents.
Prohibition is not an issue IN the
contest involving Volstead, for he will
be opposed by the Rev. .. j. Kvale of
Benson, who declares himself ''as dry
as Volstead with little to spare"
Mr.. Volstead has the Endorsement of
the republican district convention,
while both the democratic and the far
mer labor conventions indorsed the
candidacy of Rev. Mr.. Kvale. In 1920.
as the candidate of the non-partisan
league seeking the republican nomina-
ton, Rev. Mr.. Kvale nosed out Mr..
Volstead in the June primary by H..
violation of the state corrupt practices
act against Rev. Mr.. Kvale were sus-
tanned. the nomination was declared
vacant, and the republican district
committee selected Mr.. Volstead as the
republican candidate.
With the approach of the fall cleo
ton that year, the Kvale faction cir
culated petitions that enabled him to
| file as an Independent, and in three
cornered race-a democratic candidate
having entered-Volstead polled 35, ,S21
| votes; Kvale 35,370, and the demo
cratic candidate, 5.36S.
This year, with Kvale bearing the
democratic endorsement, it will be g
finish fight between Kvale and Vol
stead and the question lies in what
strength the old -partisan-now
farmer er-labor-organization has beer
able to retain.
Two years ago, women were excep
tionalIy active In the interests of Mr.
Volstead, and it was admitted that
their vote figured in determining hi'
success.
If the Kvale forces have been able
to hold their strength the issue prob
ably will rest with those voters who
cast democratic ballot two years ago
With the democratic convention en-
dorsement, Kvale forces expect tt
corral the greater part of this demo
| cratic vote.

any other light than as method
of endeavoring to intimidate the
railroad Strikers into settlement
detrimental to the rights and In.
terests of the railroad workers."
Commenting personally on the
ten-day extension granted, Mr..

"The proceedings at Chicago Is
a sorry spectacle, avoWedly part
of the open shop drive to destroy

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE ship
ping board got rid of its white ele-
phant!"
The great fleet of wooden vessels,
conceived during the war as a means
of rapidly bridging the Atlantic, was
knocked down at private compeu-
tive sale to George ID. Perry of San
Francisco. The price-S75O,OO0 for
10 vesseis-was considered bargain,
as evidenced by the spirited bidding
which rapidly ran the offers from
first of $406,0OO to $75O,OOO, which
was accepted by Chairman Lasker and
other members of the shipping board.
The wooden fleet was built at cost
of approximately $30O,000,OOO.
When the bids reached the sum OF
S625 900, Mr.. Lasker called the board,
which sat in at the sale, into execu-
tive session to determine whether the
sale should be continued on the unit
basis or in lots. The former course
was adopted. and the bidding from then
on was largely between Mr.. Perry and
the bravo Contracting company or
Pittsburgh. The latter finally stopped
at $4,000. Mr.. Perry's representa-
tive then offered $75O,000.

One of the conditions of the sale
was that they were not to be used
for transportation purposes as steam
ships and that they would be disman-
tied within a reasonable time.

neered the purchase of 226 wooden
United States shipping board vessels;
Tuesday declared no definite plans had
been made for their disposition.
The ships probably will be used on
both the Atlantic and the Pacific, Ty-
son said The Pacific coast vessels
probably will be put into the lumber
trade.
Mr.. Tyson said some of the vessels
would be brought from eastern and
gulf ports to the Pacific coast imme-
diately where they viii be inspected.
The provision of the sale which bars
the vessels from being used on regular
ly established routes will not cause
them to be dismantled, it was asserted.
