by the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, February e.
Political activity In Ohio, almost dor
mant during the past several weeks,
today underwent a rejuvenation.
Developments of the day. which
came with almost Kaleidoscope rapidity,
included:
Official filing with Secretary Of
State Brown of the declaration of
candidacy of President Coolidge.
Announcement that William G. Nc
Adoo would carry his fight for the
democratic presidential nomination
into Ohio and make a determined
effort to capture the Buckeye dele
gates.
Official ruling by Secretary OF State
Brown requiring candidates for dele
gate to the national convention to OBJ
tain the written consent Of the presi-
Dental candidate whom they wish to
support before they may enter the
primary. This ruling reverses rul-
ings of two previous state secreta-
ries and closes the delegate lists to
those selected by the managers of the
various presidential candidates.

Definite entrance of James A. White.
former superintendent of the Ohio
Anti-Saloon League, into the contest
for the republican gubernatorial
nomination, on a platform which in
cluded law enforcement and tax re-

McAdoo is expected to file his
declaration early next week. Secre-
tary of State Brown advised W. d.
Wilkin. Cleveland attorney, and
H. G. Deweese of Columbus, at a con-
ference today, that 1t would be neces-
sary to obtain written consent of the

DAUCHERTY FIGHT
MAY CHANGE RACE
Only Weakness in Coolidge
Ohio Machine Is Post Held
by Attorney General.
Special Dispatch to The Sat.r

COLUMBUS, Ohio, February g.
The disposition that will be made of
the case of Attorney General Daugh-
erty at Washington may easily have
notable effect upon the candidacy OF
President Coolidge in this state, for
the Attorney General has been nomi-
mated by the republican state conTen-
ton as one OF the seven delegates at
large to the national convention at
Cleveland, pledged to the support OF
Mr. Coolidge. Unless he withdraws
his name it will be certified to the
state supervisor of elections before
next Friday for admission to the
state presidential primary ticket
When the republican state conven-
ton Endorsed Mr.. Daugherty his de-
partment was in no way connected
with the naval oil reserve leases, nor
were there accusations of any kind
against him.
Weakness as candidate on the
part Of Mr.. Daugherty, such as 1t is
conceivable might result from the
present situation, would give the
Johnson managers a chance to run in
one Of their candidates who other
wise would have practically no
chance Of election at all. Four of
the johnson candidates for delegates
at large have been selected, and it
is likely that the other three places
will be conceded to women, as COM
pliment. They are John d. Fackler
and Judge Joseph &. Kelley of Cleve-
land, Fl. II. Thinker of Canton and
Gerry w. Cathcart Of Columbus.
Chairman Bender of the Ohio head
quarters OF the Johnson movement
has been announcing local Johnson
organizations in all the principal
cities during the last week, but with
few exceptions they include no re-
publicans whose names attract special
attention outside of their home cities.
Chance Is slight.
The sole chcance for the Johnson
forces would seem to lie in the pos
Sibility OF Attorney General Daugh-
erty being weakened by the oil-lease
Investigations and the action of Con-
greSs in his case, thus enabling a
strong Johnson candidate. such as
Mr. Fackler of Cleveland. to outstrip
linn at the polls. Although the rep
resentative of Ohio in the conference
IF McAdoo supporters at Chicago this
week voted confidence in Mr.. McAdoo,
there Is much talk among democrats
here, who were formerly outspoken
for Mr.. McAdoo, that he is unavail-
able. This has strengthened the
James ". Cox forces in the state to
the extent that 1t is thought possible
that ii may mean something more
than IA complimentary solid vote for
MIR. Cox on the rirst ballot.
The selection Of former Senator

his famous estimate of his weakness
In California holds good, and hence
that he should take no personal part

be seen.
McAdOO Grip Slipping.
William G.. McAdoo, who left Cali
fornia a short time ago assured that
the states democracy would remain
safely under his banner regardless of
consequences elsewhere, has returned
to discover diSquieting conditions.
The incipient revolt begun by sup
porters of Senator James a. Reed has
not progressed unduly, but the Nc
Adoo camp now finds itself menaced
both by the candidacy of John w.
Davis and of Senator Oscar Under
wood.
The Davis people are proceeding
quietly but aggressively, and the ad-
mirers of Senator Underwood are no
less persistent. 1t is possible that the
combined efforts of Reed, Underwood
and Davis adherents will be turned
against McAdoo in the hope of OBJ
tanning an unpledged democratic del
egation from California.

JACKSON, Miss, February o.
Injection Of the Ku Klux Khan into
the Oscar Underwood campaign in
Mississippi has lessened the chances
of the Alabama senator obtaining
an instructed delegation to the ma
tional democratic convention.
The Khan issue was brought to
the front here this week when Sena-
tor Underwood addressed the joint
session of the legislature. Three
written requests were left at the
table asking his stand on the Khan.
In his speech he voiced his opposition.
The Mississippi delegation four
years ago went instructed for I'm

the delegation will go uninstructed,
as Underwoods visit to tho state has
weakened his strength.

Hogging Down Corn Good
Practice on All Farms

1t usually is wiser and safer to turn
pigs into standing corn gradually, so
they will not contract digestive trou-
bles from eating the immature corn.
Some say immature corn causes

sometimes sets up digestive troubles
that resemble cholera or else get the
hogs system badly. out of condition
and invite attack by cholera. In
summary Of several tests made at varl-
Gus midwestern experiment stations
we get this general conclusion: In each
of six trials one lot of pigs was fat
tened in the corn field and another lot
fed corn on the ear in dry lot. All
pigs got either tankage or mlddllngs
as supplement to the corn, which is
absolutely essential. Some rape and
little rye was found In the standing
corn also. The pigs eating the stand
Ing corn made slightly more rapid
gains and made 100 pounds of pork on
per cent less concentrates than the
pigs fed corn in the yard,
Unless weather is unfavorable the
pigs will pick up the corn as clean as
though 1t were husked. Rape or soy
beans in the corn make an ideal sup
plement, or else give them access to
alfalfa, clover or rape pasture in ad
ditiou to the standing corn, II avaIIa-

Ventilation Necessary
in Storing Seed Corn

Ventilation and heat are the two
things necessary to successful seed
corn storage. Any place that has a
good roof, is dry and has plenty of
ventilation is satisfactory.

the moisture content can be reduced
to the point where the germ is not

properly hung and in q dry, airy, place.
there is usually no need for artificial
heat.
Never store corn In sacks, piles or by
placing one row of ears Immediately
on top of another, writes Ralph e.
Johnston In the Dakota Farmer. Leave
some air around each ear.
There are many different methods
Of storing seed corn. There is the
binding Irvine method by which the
ears are laid on the Irvine, crossing
the cords each time after the ear is
laid in place and alternating the butts
and tips. Ten to twelve ears are put
in each string. There are wire racks
of various kinds with both vertical
and horizontal strands. There are
various kinds of "tree" or post" sys-
tens by which ears are attached TO
nails which have been driven in or
through posts or boards in an upright
slanting manner.

Immature Crops Are Not
Good for Making Silanf

Every silo should be filed, because
silage is the cheapest feed this year.
Good silage cannot be made from i'm
mature crops. Corn and the sorghums.
when approaching maturity, make
silage of the best quality. Fully ma
tured and frosted crops make good
silage If plenty Of water is added. In
any case. the finer the feed is cut the
better will be the quality of the sllage.
Silage should be packed thoroughly in
the silo, especially around the edges.
The faster a silo Is filed the more
