BAN ON KHAN BY
LAFOLLETTE
EXPECTED
Platform to Contain Plank
Denouncing Rcdy-To Bring
Many Votes, Hope

The platform upon which Senator
Robert M. La Toilette goes before
the country as a Presidential can
didate will contain plank denounc-
ing the Ku Klux Khan by name, &C.
cording to reports here today.
La Follette's friends feel that the
failure Of either the Democratic or
Republican party to take a firm
stand against the khan gives the
Wisconsin Senator an opportunity
to win hundreds of thousands OF
votes in both the North and South
by assailing the hooded order as I'M
American and undemocratic.
Senator La Toilette himself has
declined thus far to discuss the
Democratic platform, as adopted in
New York Sunday morning, with
holding his comment until the con-
ference for progressive political &C.
ton meets in Cleveland on July 4.
At that time he plans to launch his
attack on both the Republican and
Democratic platforms, as well as
their candidates.

everything today, If they would

up to five games.
Walter johnson is going to pitch
one Of today's games, but Bucky
Harris is undecided just which one
it will be. II Howard Ehmke is
trotted out for, the first clash,
most likely Washington's great
veteran will be shot in against him.
Ehmke is due today and most like
ly will have to battle johnson.
Fred Marberry, the big boy from
Texas, is hooked up for some action
today. He'll start the game John.

plans Of the manager.
The Grfffmen cannot lose their
grip on first place, even though they
Detroit Jungaleers win. They'll
still be half game in front. They
will lose two points with an even
break, and that is almost nothing at
all.
but we're not going to lose two
games" says Bucky Harris. "We're
going after two victories and an

to his determination to try and
keep his delegates true to him to
the finish.
The personal impression which he
left was evidently most compelling
to his admirers. They responded
with incessant shouts Of approval.
What was really happening was
not that McAdoo was giving them
any real additional intellectual argu-
ments for being for him but that
he was humanity proving to them
that as a general they might rely
upon him to die in their midst long
before entertaining any thought OF
capitulation to the enemy.
Picture Of Confidence
He was the picture Of carefully
organized confidence. He was
! sprucely dressed. He was almost
a jumping.jacl in energy and ges'
ture. His face was clean-shaven,

and pugnacity,. and young. It
seemed Incredible that SO young
a face could belong to a man who
| in fact is so elderly.
Lean, vibrant, beautifully grooned
and buoyantly healthy, McAdoo
harangued his followers into a
state Of hypnotic loyalty to him.
Meanwhile, on the streets Of New
York, the humanism Of Al Smith
was victorious every minute last
night and today over the progress.

To the followers Of McAdoo, AL
Smith is some sort Of malignant
outgrowth Of booze and bossism. II
you are going to- be for H'the peo'
be" in the Western sense, you
have to be against AL Smith. To be
for AL Smith, according to these
| Westerners, is to be, for 'the
bosses" and "Wall Street" and ''the
liquor interests"
Meanwhile the actual common
people Of this whole Eastern me-
tropolis,a which in itself contains
more people and more common PEG,

Iit may be said that the first and
last thing known about them at all
by the McAdoo delegates is that
they are supposed to be congenial
representatives of what the McAdoo
delegates regard as the ''Boss-and-
Booze infested" Atlantic Seaboard.
Real Test Of Strength.
Silzer and Ritchie stand at this
moment as much chance Of attract
ing the McAdoo Christian soldiers
as Charles Darwin would stand of
attracting the vote of William Jen-
nings Bryan.
Then will come, however. the real
test Of the fidelity and sticking
power Of the McAdoo followers:
then will come, according to present
probabilities; the candidates. Of Car
ter Glass. Of Virginia, and of Samuel
M. Ralston, Of Indiana.

sentative, but he is a great per.

Both OF these men might be at
least negative magnates to tired
McAdoo progressives who not only
will be tired, but also depleted in
their not-too-fat pocketboolSs by the
expenses Of New York hotels.
That situation, however, :s per.
hapS several days away in the
future: The immediate matter is
for the McAdoo delegates d. resist.

Smith and then Of people like I'm.

That resistance, If the temper OF
the McAdoo delegates continues to
be what 1t is today, will be easy,
and the convention, therefore, Is
likely to last for quite while.
Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Mon.

convention, expressed the personal
opinion today that the convention

--- AND -
PHILOSOPHY
By Uncle bud.

Uncle bud Says: ats better to fail
at the right time than to succeed at
the wrong time. Honesty is the
best policy-and you don't need to
pass a physical examination to get
it."
Lots of witty people lack
brains.
It must take a "seofflawyer" to
defend the scofflaw.
Keeping up appearances is hard
to do when finances run low.
The open season on Icing viii
soon be here. Fishing time is al
most on deck.
Some women are the picture of
health-and it's a mighty good job
of painting at that.
Reading the other fellows mind
is quite an accomplishment-but it's
better to know your own.
The fellow who is always grabbing
his luck wouldn't know how to act if
fortune smiled on him.
There once was fellow named
Gore
Who bought big merchandise
store.
But, with grains meath his wig,
He advertised big
Instead of one store he has four!
A Sunday School superintendent
once asked all the little boys and
girls who wanted to go to heaven to
stand up. All arose except
Willie Jones. "Why, William"
said the superintendent, "don't you
want to go to heavenw ''Not yet, /"
was the boys prompt rejoinder.
A local maiden was taken to task
by her mother for standing on the
porch too long with a young man the
preceding evening.
"Why mother" said she, 81 only
stood there for a second"
WELL" said her mother, unless
my ears deceived me, I distinctly
heard the seventh and eighth.
A teacher in one of our rural
schools was listening while little
fellow read from the lesson for the
day. Her mind was doing fancy
job of wandering, but she was
brought back to things mundane
when she heard the little fellow read
out: ''This is a warm doughnut.
Step on it," "What," she ex-
claimed, ''let me see your book. F"
She looked-and this is what she
read. "This is worm. Do not
step on it"
There had been no little whisper
ing and giggling in the colored folks
church and the preacher finally
paused in his sermon and said :
Oars got to be more solemness in
dis hyah edofrice. All amt gwine
to stand fo' no mob ob dis nudgin'
an whisperin' an gigglin'. An if
amt done stopped Abs gwine to do

let his eyes rove over the congrega-
ton. "Ah tells yo whit Abs gwine
to do. Abs gwine hab de collection

The CROUCH

My uncle Ezra always wears a
woebegone expression; you'd take
it that his load of cares-his
burden of depression-wa more
than mortal man should tote
along earth's path so devious; as
though someone had filched his goat
on some date in the previous. He'd
whine around by day and night, his
tears were always flowing; no thing
on earth was e'er quite right no
cause for joyful growing And
yet Dame Fortune shot her smiles
at this same ancient croaker; his
realty stretched for miles and miles,
from Pleasanttown to Bowker. When
other peoples hogs took sick and
died with spinal structure old Ezra's
shoats grew fat and slick and pretty
as a picture. No matter where he'd
turn his hand the shekels to him
galloped- yet he croaked to
beat the band in language plain and
sealloped When he turns up his
toes and croaks his final croak. I'm
thinking, Wen all be spriRging timely
Jokes and there'H be smiles and
winking. Wen miss him-sure-
but it viii be a pleasant sort Of
feeling, thereU be a gladstone jubilee
and joybells will be pealing. Life
has its ups and downs, | know, we
cannot always Cwitter; but those
who ever crouch should go where
sulphur breezes filter.

Farmers Have Saved $4,000 On
Powder Purchases.

The farmers of Iron county have
saved just few dollars under $4,000
the past two years on dynamite and
war salvaged explosives purchased
through the county agents office.
Including the car to be unloaded in a
short time the farmers have pur-
chased $4,000 pounds of explosives
for land clearing work This is a
high average per farm and means
that by the end Of the spring land
clearing season that approximately
$500 acres of land will be cleared in
addition to the land already cleared.
This adds at least $4,000 to the
total wealth of the county, and more
than that it means that we have
$500 more acres to grow feed for
our livestock and crops to increase
the farm income.

SHLAND-IRON
COUNTY FAIR?
Movement Started to Combine the
Two Counties in Promoting
agricultural Interests.

With the visit Of NJ. H. Wright,
county agent and secretary Of the
Ashland County Agricultural as
ISOLATION. and Otto Promo, president
Of the association, to Hurley this
week it became known that a project
for an Achland-Iron county fair is
being considered They came to
Hurley to attend the meeting Of the
county board Of supervisors and to
discuss with the members of the
board the feasibility of the PROPOSE
ton.
The Iron county board took
action in the matter by appointing a
committee to attend the next meeting
Of the board Of directors Of the
Ashland fair association and also
the meeting Of the Ashland county
board Of supervisors to be held next
May u Until after these bodies
have held their meetings it viii not
be definitely known whether or not
the project can be carried through.
This move to combine the coun-
ties in one fair has also brought up
the question of taking in bayfield,
county and making it a tri-county
fair. Ashland and Bayfield, tried
to combine some years ago but could
not come to any agreement. 1t is
believed that Ashland county would
insist on the site Of the fair being at
Ashland A! far as Iron county is
concerned there probably would be
no objection, but since Bayfield, now
has well-established fair grounds
opposition could be expected from
that end. Ashland is considering
abandoning its present fair ground
and locating one on the bay west of
the bathing beach.
