come off and it is an ever ready dis
sembler of petty and factional party
troubles. Minnesota's representa-
ton at the National gathering will
consist of " delegates of which
seven will be at large and it is the
latter that has the call. In st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth quite few
of the elect have their eye on one
of the seven places and in the first
two named cities especially the con-
test for position is going to be a
lively one. Minneapolis is going to
make bid for National Republican
committeeman this year asd as the
talk russ hackers of no less than
three favorites, Senator w. F.
Brooks, Sumner T. Mcknight and
IF. H. Carpenter are now bucklink
on their armor' for the fray. Mr.,
Mcknight is comparatively new
addition to the game polite. Fred
H. Carpenter, who was nosed out for
the committeeship by ]. A. Caswell
three years ago, is said to have the
backing of the Hennepin County
Republican organization kut if
"BilP' Brooks gets into the game he
will know that he has fight on his
hands. Senator Brooks is regarded
as go-getter of no mean ability
The early part of the week gossips
circulated the story that Governor
Preus, who is devoting his spare
time to the Coolidge movement, was
using his high office to land the
position of national committeeman
but this his excellency denies. He
says he is not candidate and has
no idea of entering the Minnesota
contest, but the chances are de.
cidedly against him. The finish is
fairly certain to be an instructed

Mayor George E. Leach of Min.
neapolis is the first one to officially
toss his head piece into Republican
gubernatorial ring and from now on
contenders for the big prize will
have the gallant Colonel of the

This Age.
Of Oil

Speaking editorialy, the Chicago Trib-
une, in its issue of February 8, says:
VIRTUALLY every one in the nation is
user of oil and consumption grows at a
rapid pace. We have problem, therefore,
not merely of conservation but of supply,
and its solution is vital to the material pros
perity and progress of the United States.
This able statement seems to US to
justify further comment. .
Virtually every one in the nation is
user of oip'-oil in some form enters into
the manufacture of every article of com.
merce. Without it the commodities you
use could not be manufactured and sold
for the price you pay now.
Consumption grows at rapid pace"
to illuminate this statement it is only nec-
essary to show that in the ten states served
by the Standard Oil Company Undiana)
there were, on January l. 1924, 4,855,739
= automotive vehicles registered. This is
807,367 more than were registered on
January 1, 1928.
e Conservation it is we'll known
e fact that the Standard Oil Company Ind-
lanai by means of processes discovered
and developed In its own Laboratories has
: contributed more to increasing the yield of
S: gasoline from given quantity of crude
4 than any other rehner. This increased yield
was secured without in any way affecting
the quality of the gasoline and without
goes into the manufacture of lubricating oils.
"Vital to the material prosperity and
progress of the United States comment
here seems unnecessary as all must recog-
nize the part played by petroleum in

johnson in New Jersey

NEWARK, April 17:-United
States Senator Hiram w. Johnson,
of California, personally entered the
New Jersey campaign Cor Repuph-
can national convention delegates
pledged to his presidential candi-
dacy, with a speech here last night
in which he asserted that the cause
of present conditions at Washington
was the ''recrudescene of the unholy
alliance between crooked big busi-
ness and crooked politics"
Senator Johnson declared there is
food for reflection not only in the
corruption which had been revealed
at Washington but also in the apol-
ogies which are offered by admins
tration Spokesman" He character
lied the recent speeches of United
States Senator George Wharton Pep
per and Secretary of State Charles
E. Hughes as lacking in concrete
ness and without even conventional
indignation" at what has been dis
closed in Washington"
President Coolidge was repeatedly
referred to as a person who remain
ed Sin 'seclusion behind the barred
doors of the White House with moth
ing to say about what has trans
pired" and was contrasted with
Theodore Roosevelt who, Senator
Johnson said, would have settled the
whole oil scandal in y-eight

turned him over to the other side

Thaw seemed self-possessed. For

At the end of five minutes Mr..
Dickson said: I'VE have no ques-

Thaw smiled and left the witness
stand.
Another brief conference followed
among the attorneys for Thaw. They
were not prepared for the immunity

a recess until this afternoon, which
was granted.

HEAR TESTIMONY ABOUT
ACTIVITIES OF WHEELER

WASHINGTON, April 17:-Cut-
ting at once to the heart of the
whole controversy the special SEN
ate committee investigating the
Montana charges against Senator
Wheeler, opened it's hearings today
with testimony bearing directly on
the extent of his activities in Wash
ington in connection with cases in
which his Montana clients were in
terested.
From Gordon Campbell, geolo-
gist, who said he had employed the
senator in 1922 to represent him in
the state courts, the committee re-
celved copies of two sets of tele-
grams passing between him and
Wheeler, one purporting to show
that Wheeler had "been advised"
the government could not intervene
in Campbelrs behalf in land pro-
ceedings against him, and the other
indicating that the senator had ar
ranged for Campbell to confer with
Solicitor Booth of the Interior De-
partment regarding ''the Lincoln
permit"
Campbell, who was indicted with
Wheeler in Montana, insisted this
did not constitute Senator Wheeler's
appearance" before the Interior De-
partment on behalf of his client, as
charged in the indictment, on the
advice of Solicitor Booth, the wit
ness said, he had hired his own
Washington attorney to handle land
cases here. He insisted that Senator
Wheeler had told him he could not
handle such cases, because of his
election to the senate.
Campbell testified that various
Department of Justice and Postoffice
people had taken papers from his
office, included in the group being
the postmaster of Great Falls, whose
name he did not know.
'They worked very high handed
game,'' Campbell said, adding that
he had previously told officers who
called at his office on the case that
he would give them any information
they wanted.
Senator Borah called for Solicitor
Booth when Campbell was excused,
but as the Interior Department Off
cial was not in the room, James H.
Baldwin, Wheeler's law partner. was
put on the stand.
