Minnesota Fight for Nelson's
Seat Shows Wide Re-

BY international News Service.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 10
With the apathy which existed at
the primary lifted, Minnesota today
was in the midst Of the hottest
political campaign and closest po-
litical race of recent years, the
stakes bcing the seat in the United
States Senate left vacant by the
death of KHIte Nelson. The cleo
ton Monday, in spite OF the fact
it is a special election, will bring
out vote we'll up to normal, po-
litical party leaders predicted today.
The Farmer-Labor party, backing
the Republican party, generally
Nelson vacancy, are exerting every
possible ounce Of strength. and the
next three days will find practically
every town il the State the scene
Of rival political rallies.
Senator Robert M. La Toilette,
of Wisconsin, has a flying squadron
from his State in Minnesota cam
paigning for Johnson, led by Phil
La Toilette, the Senator's son, and
including Congressman Weight,
Schneider and Beck and Lieutenant
Governor Comings, of Wisconsin.
They staged big rally here last
night following a rally in Mime
apolic Wednesday night that
brought out 1900. at which the
Wisconsin emissaries pleaded with
the Minnesota voters to send a
progressive" to the Senate to
back La Toilette and the Senate
liberal bloc.
Pointing among other things to
the split in the Republican ranks,
which has led to the formation of
the Progressive Republican Club Of
Minnesota to back Johnson, who
was formerly a Republican,, the
Farmer Labor leaders today pre-
dict q larger majority for Johnson
thar was given Henrik Shipstead,
Farmer Labor leader, who defeated

the United States Senate last fall.
The Progressive Republican Club
led by Thomas F'rankson, for many
wears lieurenant governor, has a
corps of speakers. including promi-
nent Republican leaders, stamping
the State for Johnson.
On how widespread this c.. o. p.
split is largely depends the result
next Monday.
State Senator James A. Carley

agreed on all hands he will increase
the small Democratic vote of last
year, but neither the press nor Do-
litical leaders figure him as much

BIRTH CONTROL

Eliminate in InteIIigentzia,

Professor Bancroft.
By FRED j. WALKER.
Cosmopolitan News Service,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-Un.
less a national plan of eugenics is
worked out in these United States
within the next hundred years the
race is doomed.
The exceptional opportunities Of
fered in America to all to reach
the top of the economic and social
ladder are acting as q boomerang.
Race suicide Of the best brains the
country produces is being forced
upon us.
America is going to pieces faster
than any other race in history be-
cause Of the remarkable opportuni-
ties we offer to all.
The foregoing are a few of the
comments on what the future holds
in store for America, as offered
today by Frank Watts Bancroft,
biologist. formerly Of the Univer-
sity Of California and the Rockefel-
Ter Institute.
THE United States should adopt
a program OF eugenics on a far
reaching scale. Every teacher in
the land should be instructed to
devote the greater part of his or
her time to the more intelligent
pupils, rather than to the backward
ones as is the rule at the present
time.
Unless this is done, we are
doomed.
"Of the positive and negative
methods of eugenics, the positive,
that Of eliminating the birth con-
troll idea among the intelligentzia
is the more important.
THE native method, which in
cludes the reducing of the birth
rate Of the physically and mentally
deficient. is important also. But
both should be practiced under the
auspices Of the government.
"One thing we know beyond the
shadow Of a doubt is that the off.
spring Of two feeble-minded parents
are all, without exception, feeble
minded. Science has indubitably
proven this fact.
1T costs more to educate feeble
minded children than intelligent
ones and in the end the average
intelligence Of the race suffers by
the present 'babying' Of the feeble
minded.
Rather than spending huge
sums Of money on the education
Of backward and sub-normal pupils,
philanthropists and the American
Government should devote all Of
their energies to the problem Of
encouraging the intelligent ones to
progress"

she continued, testifying before the
ministry of labor commission,
which is striving to determine the
reason for the serious shortage OF
domestic help in England.
Training centers throughout Eng
land for all women, to teach them
how to run homes and how to live
were advocated by Mrs. Witt, who
declared that at the present time
girls look upon home work as some
thing to be avoided. She is an au-
thority on domestic service In
North England.
"Mistresses want more time to
NEEDLE in local matters. If they 10
not spend their time at golf and
tennis they have the committee
habit" she said.
''Emulating their nistresses, the
humber classes also crave more OF
the pleasures of life.
Every town in England should
have a domestic training center,
Mrs Witt declared, land every
woman should be forced to take six
months training in domestic SCI
ence.
MEN could make the domestic
girl popular by marrying her." she
declared.
