Country Needs
 Socialism, Says August Claessens


 August Claessens, a member of the New York Assembly, and a prominent socialist. spoke last night at Carpen- spices of the 18th district Socialists Club. MT Claessens spoke on Socialism and its aims.
 He said that when people were kindly dispose to consider Socialists they called them dreamers. A man without a few dreams, he Said,' might just as well shake hands with lamp post" Socialism has a basis he decIared.s"We believe that there is enough wealth in the country to prevent famine and starvation. We be- lieve that there Is enough clothing to clothc everyone.
 We believe there is enough wealth to allow every worker some leisure not 10 and 14 hours work each day" he said. MT. Classens said that the common people could not get the idea that they existed to work out ing he told his audience that the peo- leisure daily. In nearly every case they would ask him what they would do with there spare time. When the people are educated they will not Suf- fer from lack of leisure" the speaker declared.
 This condition existed in the minds of the workers because they lack the good things of life and consequently do not know what to do with their spare time. He refuted the idea of some people who say there is not enough to go around and that is the reason for poverty.

May HaveWOnan
 Senator

Minneapolis, Minn., April 29 - Minneso ota may claim the distinction of being the first state in the Union to send a woman to the United States Senate.
 Mrs. Peter Oleson. of Cloquet, a prominent clubwoman and Chautau- qua lecturer. is preparing to wage an energetic campaign for the Senatorial honors. She was nominated for the office at a recent convention of the Democratic party. In the nominating speech she was termed the brainiest Httlew oman in the State of Minne- sota-"
 And she is little. and she is brainy. Had it not been for her quick men tality and forceful personality the convention undoubtedly would have gone on record in favor of an amend ment to the national constitution per mitting the sale of light wines and beer.
 Jumping to her feet, Mrs. Oleson cried:
 NO! Nol-we must not. There is no greater enemy of the Democracy than liquor. We are never going to commit the political murder of the party by endorsing any such plank.
 Convention Enthusiastic
 And Mrs. Olecon won out When she was nominated the conention was swept off its feet with enthusiasm. Several candidates who had been ser
 
 biiities promptly withdrew.
 It is predicted by prominent state Democrats that if Mrs. Oleson. is elected IF the coming three-cornered race she will take a prominent part in the framing of progressive 1egis- latiCn. She is a forceful speaker. She has talked before women's clubs all over the country. During the last Presidential campaign she accompa- nied Governor James M. Cox and his running mate. Franklin D. Roosevelt on several speaking tours, taking sac- tive part in the campaign
 Two years ago she Stumped the state for the Democratic ticket Al that time she was a strong advocate of q coalition between the Nonpar- tiSan League and the ProgT essive Democrats against the Republican, party. The active participation cl women of the Northwest in the last national campaign was largely the re- suit of her efforts
 If Mrs. Oleson wins the Democratic nomination in the Prinnaries-as now seems certain-she probably will find herself opposing SeraIor Frank B Kellogg, who is bC--1Ved assured ot the Republican nomination. and Hen rig Shipstead. the Farner-I4abbr nom- inee-

MT. C1assens said what the coun- try needed was social cooperation similar to that Of the late war. He said the cost of the war was 1S6 bill fion dollars and that for every day the war Tasted it cost 240 million or 10 million dollars each day. All this. the assem- blyman declared, was used to blast out existence. Why not ap- ply this 240 million to the welfare of the country by building homes and towns and wiping out the pig stiles now called homes"
 ''Construction not destruction is what is needed. But civilization is too barbarouS to think of spending 240 millions on the welfare of the people, p he declared.
 The only reson why the dsarma- ment conference was called, MT Claes- sens said, was because 1t was getting too expensive to kill a man. The cost es figured out by a French professor was estimated at s20,000

By JACK CARBERRY.

International News Service Special
 Correspondent.
 Kansas City. Mo. May l - Who is Harry Wilson?"
 fare workers of the Middle West have joined in an effort to answer that question
 For Harry Wilson"-such is the name given the four-year-old young ster found asleep on a doorstep here some weeks ago-claiIns to have two mammas and two daddies; one of them just awful, awful kind, with an automobile and everything. while the other'-but that is Harry Will son's' story.
 The dramatic tragedy of the little fellows life, as far as the solution of his true Identity is concerned, opened on a doorstep here more than three weeks ago.
 "A lost boy" police said when noti- fled.
 They questioned the lad. My names Harry Wilson" he said, sometimes I'm Johnny Taylor, and l used to be just Buster, and once, l remember, I had another name, but don't remember it any more" Then police found Mir. and Mrs. Harry Wilson. They were carnival people. The woman claimed the child as her son. ''Sure, He's My Fxid!" Later the man was tOund- Sure, he's my l1id,'' he said. Charles Edwards, police chief. and F. c. Gillham, chief of prohibition off, ffcers, questioned the couI.lo. Both were dark. The woman-with jet black hair, eyes that flashed Russian, she said. The man also was dark. He had brown eyes. He, too, speaks with foreign accent. Little Harry Wilson is striking Ia iS English is perfect for child of four. He does not resemble the couple who claimed him in any particular
 Edwards and GilIham brought the couple to the detention home to see the boy.
 Harry Wilson upon sight of them fled.
 NO. no, no:" he cried. 'T will never go to them-I do not love them they are my second daddy and mamma. I don't want them!
 T have another daddy and mamma" the youngster said. 'I have not seen them for long time. used to live with my other daddy brother named Roy, and sister, too. don't know her name."

Police since have combed Mid-Western cities for the pair. They cannot be found. Child Is Bright. The child is exceptionally bright for his years.
 | He is tawny haired, blue eyed and very fair He Is coy and retiring. He answers best to the name Buster" My other daddy always called me that" he explains. Gillham described the child's actions when he was brought into the presence of the woman who claimed to be Mrs. Harry Wilson,
 'I don't want to go with her-I won't go!" the little fellow said. 'I want to go with my first mother"
 Then the little fellow ran to the room given him at the detention home and buried his head in the pillows

SUBMARINE TO RECOVER
 GOLD FROM SEAS BED

London, May What will probably rank as the most successful submar- inc treaSure-Seek1ng expedition ever promoted will soon leave Portsmouth Backyard to resume operations.
 This particular venture is managed by the British Admiralty and Treas ury jointly, and its business is to re- cover the gold bullion which went to the bottom in the White Star liner Laurentic when she was torpedoed off the Irish coast during the great war.
 Already some twenty to twenty-five million dollars of the gold has been salved. There yet remain ten or fifteen millions more of it lying at the bottom of the sea, and the salvage ship Racer is going out to search for the balance.

 The boy is four years old. He has f1axen, straw-co1ored hair. His eyes are deep blue. He is very fair. For a child four years old he is exceptional ly bright, speaking without a baby lisp, and uses English which would do credit to any boy of three times his age.
 We found him on a doorstep here. He says he has two fathers and two mothers. The couple who claimed him here disappeared while we were questioning the little fellow in their presence. Both ran away when he said. T want my first mamma and daddyl"
