MINNESOTA VI L 1 SEE HOT BATTLE IN SENATE RACE
Farmer-Labor Candidate To Oppose Republican In
 Fiqht For Seat

ST. PAUL Minn., May 25.-The e possibility that Minnesota may soon send another farmer labor senator to Washington as the colleague of pr. Henrick Shipstead has developed in the scramble for the seat left vacant by the death of the late Senator Knute Nelson.
 Gov. J. A. o. Preus, repuli- labor candidate. will fight it out with each other in a battle like that in which Sbipstead beat out Senator Frank B. Kellogg in the November elections. it they are nominated in the coming primaries. Both are fla vored for the respective nomfna tions.
 Farmer labor leaders are count ing on the tremendous strength shown by Johnson against Preus last fall to carry him over in the special senatorial election. Johnson was barely nosed out from the gover- ner's chair by the incumbent, and he still believes that contest would have steeled him. He was restrained from a contest, however. by the eX- pense involved.
 Meanwhile, however, both Preus and Johnson are facing strenuous opposition in the primaries. Republican party leaders in Wash ington, it is understood. are bring | ing strong pressure against Con 1 gressman Sydney Anderson to re main ou of the republican primary Anderson has had five days to fil' | his papers since announcing his can.

 Preus, the national administration choice, is said to have threatened not to file if the republican field is going to be crowded. He has until Tuesday to file.
 Preus looks on Congressman T.. D. Schall of Minneapolis as his strongest opponent. Judge oscar Hallam and Ernest Lundeen arc the other candidates, and with An derson in, the republican vote would be split five ways-the governor against the field.

THOUSANDS 0F WOMEN
 ARE NOW CONVERTED Black and White Beauty Trail" draws many new
 followers each year

When the discoverers of the marvellous Black and White Beauty creations first announced 10 the girls and women of this country that they had at last perfected means of really correcting bad com plexions, it was regarded simply an- other wild claim which would explode when put to practical use.
 But as each year has passed since that memorable day Gin June. 19l6) the fig ures show that large numbers of new converts have been added to the Black and White label, until now Black and White Beauty Creations are selling at the phenomenal rate of more than eight mill lion packages d year
 When asked recently to give the req son for the tremendous popularity and big sale of Black and White Beauty Crea- tons one of the chemists said: "To us it is nothing out Of the ordinary for such Black and White Beauty Creations as Cleansing Cream and Peroxide Cream to get such universal approval among girls and women everywhere. These enormous sales mean but, one thing. and that is Black and White Beauty Creations are actually accomplishing what women ex- pect in caring for their complexion to keep it looking smooth and clear without Il lot of trouble.
 "One or two packages are sold in a neigh borhood through the advertising and twenty more are bought there because the first ones bring such astonishing. results. People are always ready to tell others about method which helps them accom- plish what other things failed to do."
 Not week passes that fails to bring out hundreds of statements from girls and women about the wonderful results they get in correcting bad complexion by using Black and White Cleansing and Peroxide Cream. This alone is sufficient to explain the phenomenal sale of the Black and White Beauty Creations, and is the best reason no power on earth can keep them off the dressing ables of girls and women all over the country.

The Gadsden Car Works is closed down today IS the result of a short age of material. Nearly 700 men are idle. Bulletins posted about the plant stated that operations will be re- sumed Monday if certain material row on the way arrives tomorrow. While the official explanation of the shut down is all the information that can be obtained, it is the general be- lief that the management acted to forestall threatened strike. Both union and non-union labor has been employed since the shopmen's strike ended but the discharge of union leader Tuesday is said to have caused a demand that nc be reinstated, the alternative being a strike of union men.

HARDING DISAPPOINTED RX CARY STATEMENT

WASHINGTON. May 25.-President Harding was represented at the White House today as "disappointed' in the report of the committee of the iron and steel institute recon mending against abolisnment of the 12-hour day in the steel industry.
 The institutes committee has for more than a year been making a study of the industry to determine the possibility of changing the work ing day in the steel mills of the country from 12 to eight hours. The study was initiated after a dinner at the White House attended by the heads of the principal steel compa- nies who were asked by the Presi- dent to make such a change if it could be found practicable.
 The President, it was explained, had not studied the report of the committee as made public today in New York, but it was said he still strongly believed in the abandon ment of the 12-hour day and had hoped that the committees study would result in commitment to that end despite the present scarcity of labor in the industry.

O O O Divorce PartisanShip

Now of course. civilization isn't that bad, but it's progress always is carried back a large part of the dis tance gained, and that is the reason why progress of the world is such a slow and difficult task.
 Ut is my hope that we can find a way to divorce the great and vital non-political issues from politics by passing on them at time when candidates are not running for office, The British system is so organized that the government can go to the people On a single issue. Some day we will reform our own system to such an extent that we can get an expression from the people on pol icies, rather than parties or candi- dates.
 Certain great policies, especially if they mean a departure from the traditional policies of the nation policies which bring in great social and economic questions-shouid never be partisan in nature In our democ- racy it is impossible to get fine new things without the support of public opinion, and to do so, we must denude these questions of partisan bias.
 If the party returned to office, as often happens, Is mistaken in it's analysis of the reasons fer it's succe ss and the election results are always confused by multiplicity of issues and candidates personalities-as say, if it has misinterpreted the popular mandate. there is no cer tainty that this party will be kept in office.'
