Sen. J. Haycraft of Fairmont, ac-

in Redwood Falls Tuesday afternoon.
The Gazette enjoyed short call from
the two gentlemen.
Montaville Flowers, nationally know
orator from California will be at New
Ulm October 10th and will be one Of
the speakers at Republican Rally
to be held at the armory there. w.

speaker.
One of the pleasant little things to
which the people of this community
may look forward to is the presenta-
ton of the little two act comedy Lets

Veronicas Guild will give this clever
little play at the armory the evening
of October 29th.. A cast of local peo-
pie is being coached by Ward Baldwin.
The Loring Holding Company of
Minneapolis which went into the hands
of receiver when its president was
indicted for violating the blue sky
law, has been reorganized and an eff
fort is to be made to obtain PERMITS
sion to complete the half-fnished hotel
building which is the reason for the
Company's existence. Local persons
invested to some extent and are mat

We are also most appreciative of the

local revenues adequately for their
satisfaction.
Naturally the educators Of America
look to the Capital as the appropriate
place for the establishment of an ideal
school system. In truth this has been
the goal Of Washington itself. In the
degree, however, that the people of
the country demand more adequate
facilities here in the District, Congress
will heed and grant the necessary pro.
vision. The hope is, therefore, that all
those who have attended the National
Education Association meetings and
have observed the shortcomings of the
local system will, az citizens Of tne
states. express themselves strongly, SO
that their feelings may react upon the
local legislators to the end of a more
rapid development in at least the mere
physical facilities for public school
education.

posed Stephen A. Douglas was the
candidate Of the latter, who were in
the majority. The convention was
meeting in southern city, almost the
center OF the slavery sentiment. in Q
state which had previously sought to
nullify the federal laws and had all
but seeded from the Union. But the
northern delegates persisted for ten
days. and would doubtless have con.
tinued had not the southern delegates

ing 1t powerless to act under the exist

the convention nominated Douglas az

meeting in the same city after a pre-
liminary meeting in Richmond and
naming another ticket.
1t was perhaps a memory Of the
1850 division that caused the over
whelming defeat of the proposal to
move this present convention from
New York to Kansas City. A move
to another city would possibly now, as
in 1850, precipitate split in the party,
definite schism. 1t might give the
minority faction an excuse for boiling
on the ground Of a breach of rules.
Thus the decision to remain in New
York regardless of consequences and
OF the embarrassments caused by an
intensely factional atmosphere was
undoubtedly wise from the party point
Of view. 1t would have been most un-
fortunate. perhaps dangerous. to create
a parallel between the situation of to-
day and that of 1860, when the Demo.
cratic party divided on a vital issue
and went to defeat which led to
civil war.

La Toilette Accepts"

Mr.. La Toilette announces himself
as an independent candidate for the
presidency. He accepts the invitation
Of the Conference for Progressive Po-
litical Action, now in session at
Cleveland, to head a ticket in the
present campaign, and in doing so
sets forth his principles in a letter
which will really serve for the plat.
form of the new party. His letter
bristles with the phrases that have
come to be accepted as the established
official language Of what passes as
progressivism. He speaks of preda-
tory interests, evil influences, cor
rupt wealth, party bosses, organized
wealth, political expediency, proved
reactionaries, treachery to the voters,
the power OF monopoly, the favored
few and class government. He indicts
both of the old parties as guilty Of
all the sins that are embraced in these
expressions. The new party, il it is
formed under the La Toilette leader
ship, will be pure in motive, free Of
all taint, consistent and always the
champion Of the plain people, the
wage earners. the wealth producers,
the consumers.
But Mr.. La Toilette, who is moth.
ing if not a practical politician. knows
how hard it is to organize a new
party. He says SO in his letter of
acceptance" which precedes the ac-
tual nomination. He notes that per.
manent political parties have been
before, a national campaign. He also
notes that the organization of a ma
tional party among 11O,000,o00 people
scattered over forty-eight states is a
task of much magnitude as to re.
quirements of labor and the expendi-
ture of large amounts of money. There
is not, he admits, sufficient time be.
fore the November,. election for tho
efficient organization of such a party.
These observations give point to the
suggestion that he would not accept
nomination or an election to the presi-
dency 'if doing so meant for pro-
gressive senator's and representatives
and progressive state governments
the defeat which would inevitably re-
suit from the placing Of complete
third party tickets in the field at the
present time" This undoubtedly
means that the real La Toilette pur-
pose is to increase the progressive
bloc in Congress rather than to affect
the presidential election.

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL

Their experience In New York dur
Ing the past two weeks has led many
thoughtful Democrats to ponder upon
the scheme of Representation of the
various states in a Democratic ma
tional convention.
The Republicans long have protest
ed against the influence welded in
their conventions by states of the
solid south which never contribute to
Republican success at the polls in
November.
some Democrats are awakening to
the fact at last that their conventions
are virtually controlled by states
which give a majority to Demo-
cratic candidate for President only
once in dark blue moon.
The state of Pennsylvania, for in
stance, casts a block of seventy-six
votes in the Democratic national con-
ventlon: Can any one remember when
pennsylvania went Democratic in a
national election? Even in 1912 when
the Republicans were split wide open,
Pennsylvania gave a plurality to
Roosevelt as against Woodrow Will
son and Mr.. Taft Yet Pennsylvania
in the Democratic convention has the
states of the solid south in the Re-
publican convention. Pennsylvania
can help in preventing the Democrats
from reaching an agreement on a
candidate. Pennsylvania has a strong
voice in shaping the party platform.
1T is small wonder that Democrats
should begin asking themselves why
this should be so.
One delegate to the New York con-
vention figured it out that twenty
seven states which in 1920 rolled up
a majority of 6,901 900 votes against
the Democratic party controlled GIG
of the 1893 votes in the Madison
Square Garden conclave. This was
only 1l6 votes short of the 732 neces-
sary to nominate under the two-thirds
rule. The Republicans never in the
world would consent TO such a state
Of affairs in their convention. There
has never been a time when the
southern states even constituted one
fourth of the votes in a Republican
gathering.
This over -ponderance of northern
and western states that never vote
the Democratic ticket accounts in
large measure for the maintenance of
the two-thirds rule in the Democratic
quadrennial gatherings. If only a
majority were necessary to nominate.
the Democratic delegates from the
non-Democratic states could dominate e
the conventions from every angle.
y
AT the top of the list of states that
can never be depended upon to help
the Democratic ticket with electoral
votes, the delegates who are seriously
delving into this subject of repre-
sentation naturally place Pennsyl
vania, which in 1920 turned in a plu-
rality of something like 100000 votes
against the Democratic ticket Penn
sylvania, as stated. has 76 votes in
the convention. Next to Pennsylvania
in the useless" column are placed
states like Wisconsin. with 26 votes:
Iowa, with 26: Minnesota, with "a :;
Michigan, with 80; Illinois. with 5S;
Kansas. with 20: California, with %
Connecticut, with IA: Maine. with II;
New Hampshire, S; North Dakota. 10;
South Dakota, 10; Utah, S: Vermont.

Washington's Educational Plant.


Washington bids farewell to the Ma
tional Education Association, which
has been meeting here during the past
week, with regret for its passing and
gratitude for it's presence. The sixty
second annual convention has been
marked by a wide range of sessions
and discussions in the various depart.
ments which have illuminated the peo-
pie of the Capital and given them a
clearer conception Of the problems Of
education. Although this city is not
ideally equipped as yet for such a
great gathering with it's multiple divi.
sions, it has afforded accommodation
for all branches of the association, and
the hope is felt that no lack Of facili.
ties has been experienced.
Doubtless the teachers who have at.
tended the meetings have acquainted
themselves with the educational equip
ment Of Washington. though their
visit has been in vacation time, with
the schools closed. But they have at
least seen the outside Of the school
buildings. and will take away with
them an impression doubtless Of the
inadequacy of the local plant It is

the reasons for these shortcomings

Alvey A. Adee. second assistant
secretary of state, who died in this
city yesterday, was one Of the re-
markable men of the diplomatic serv-
ice of the United States, a man of ex.

best traditions Of that branch Of the
American government which deals
with foreign countries. He entered the
service as a secretary of legation In
1870, and in sixteen years had risen
to the position Of second assistant sec.
retary, which he held until his death

ernment. He was especially qualified
in points of procedure. He became an
established authority on diplomatic
forms and practices. He was to the
American diplomatic service what
some officials Of the foreign Offices of
other countries are, permanent
technician. Probably no other man in,
this country was more intimately &C.
quainted with the diplomatic history
Of the United States. or with the
minute details Of every question that
has been at issue between this and
other governments for half a century.
Though for some years past Mr..

State Department without him. He
was an institution. Gifted In other
lines than those of his ofYicial work, he

He had Travelled widely and wisely.
For many years it was a fixed custom
to take bicycling tours in Europe. and
he was intimately acquainted with
wide area, especially in France. OF an
artistic temperament. he made vol
luminous pictorial records of his
travels. Had he chosen to write his
memoirs he would have produced a
