OURPASSING+ all other domestic
~ news Of the week, in interest Il
not in Importance, was the decisive
victory of Magnus Johnson, Farmer
Labor candidate for United States SEN
ator from Minnesota, over Governor
Preus, nominee Of the Republicans
The vote for Carley was negligible for
most Of the Democrats, disregarding
the advice Of their leaders, cast their
ballots for Johnson. Minnesota now
has two Farmer-Labor senator's, both
of whom may be counted on to support
Senator LaFollette, and the Wiscon-
sin mans little bloc thus is so strength
ened that 1t can, In many cases, control
the balance of power in the upper
house. johnson, who Is "self-made
man." frankly says that on many is
cues he makes up his mind to accord
with that of LaFollette. He declares,
however, that already he is opposed
to the world court, the League of Ma
lions and foreign entanglements and
in favor Of soldier bonus to be paid
for out of excess profits taxes.
Republican chieftains, from the Pres
ident down, were rather dismayed by
the result in Minnesota. OF course
Mr. Harding had nothing to say of it..
Chairman Adams of the national COM
mite said:
In general way, the result was a
protest against conditions temporarily
affecting the farming interests adverse
ly. Conditions in Minnesota and else
where in agricultural sections of the
country are bound to improve, and
with their Improvement public opinion
in those sections will right ITSELF"
Chairman Hull of the Democratic
national committee, interpreted the re-
suit as 1.-THE most significant and hui
initiating defeat and reputation the
Harding administration has suffered
since the nationwide population IN
1922"
''The election was the first reaction
to President Hardings transconti-
mental political tour with it's boast of
prosperity, its characteristic evasions
and reyersals and facing both ways"
he said.

d ESULTS Of Johnson's victory may
N be more important than its causes.
LaF0llette. Senator Brookhart of Iowa
and others gloatingly predicted that it
means the defeat of Mr.. Harding for
denomination next year, and it was
said some of the party leaders might
renew their efforts to induce him to
decline second term-efforts that
they exerted first after the Republican
reverses In the election of 1922. Brook
hart, who had just returned from Eu-
rope, launched in New York a boom
for the nomination of Judge Kenyon,
former senator from Iowa, and LaFol-
lette also spoke of him as a possibility
though it is generally believed the
Wisconsin senator will again have his
own name presented to the Republican
convention. Kenyon cannot well be
classed with either the radicals or the
extreme conservatives, but he may be
found not distasteful to either wing
OF the party.

ID EyERTING to Senator BrOokhart,
IN the Iowan believes he learned a
lot while abroad He says he talked
to "the living leaders of the common
people in nearly all the countries of
Europe" and his conclusion is that
economic cooperation upon the simple
principles of the weavers of Rochdale,
is the only constructive idea that has
survived the war. 1t Is the only plan
that will end the criminal trusts and
combinations in America and give to
the producers and consumers the just
rewards of their labors. It will take
immediate action of congress along the
line of the Norris bill to enable the
farmers to get the cost of production
out of their present crop. The Presi-
dent should call an extra session i'm
mediately.
Another of his assertions is that the
Russian soviet government is second
In stability only to that of the United
States, and that Russia will soon be

of America. He ignores the fact that
Russian stability is based wholly on
armed force exerted by small group

note has been submitted to the allies
and the United States, but its terms
have not, at this writing, been given
to the public. They were kept secret
to give the various governments time
for their consideration. Marquis Cur
zon had hard job in framing the re-
ply, and it is not at all likely that it
will be acceptable to the Others just

despite the defiant speech made by
Premier Poincare at Senlis at exercises

PRESIDENT HARDING, now on his
way south from Alaska after pre-
sumably learning what is the matter
with the economic development of that
territory, has had put up to him serious
trouble in another of our possessions.
For months the native leaders in the
Philippines have been in conflict with
Governor General Wood and the row
has eliminated in the resignation of
the cabinet, the council of state, Man
uel Quezon, president of the senate
and Speaker Roxas Of the house of
representatives. The crisis was brought
on by General Woods reinstatement Of
secret service man who had been
discharged, but this was merely an in
cident. The officials, in rendering their
designations, said to the governor gen.
eral:
that it is your policy and desire as
governor general to intervene and
control, even to the smallest details,
our government, both insular and
local, in utter disregard of the au-
thority and responsibility of the de-
partment heads and other officials con-
cerned.'
General Wood, accepting the resig-
nations promptly, said:
I'm my opinion your action is
wholly uncalled for. beg to state
most definitely and emphatically that
each and every declaration made in
your statement which charges neg
lect of the prerogatives and rights of
the secretaries or disregard for the
organic law is without the slightest
foundation in fact.
Your plans have been deliberately
made and your action is in the nature
of challenge and threat which I can
not ignore"
