scious ticket is all bunk. The truth
that we are facing is that large
mass of people who are entirely indie
pendent of classes are Disguised with
the old parties and are going to desert
them. LaFollette is the only logical
candidate, and we are going to vote
for him, not because we are class con-
scious, but because he is an honest,
straight gentleman.
cahan Pessimistic.
Now l want to tell you frankly
about my good friend and comrade,
Morris Hillquit. l tell you honestly
that l have not believed very much
in the theory of leadership. 1t does
not appeal to me, the way he has led
you for the last twenty years. We
have been fooling ourselves. But
now am glad to say we are turning
new leaf. That new leaf is not la
Dor party. They tell you that if we
go into this thing we are going to get
labor party next January after the
election is over. About this idea that
we are going to get labor party, l
don't believe in it. We hope we
'trust'-but we don't believe in it.
"They told you at the mass meeting
Sunday that the labor party is al

labor party is not here yet. Is it?
No. OF course not"
SEEKING a copy of the minority re-

smuggled his whisky into the sani-

we are going into this campaign to be
cured of our old illusions, and Snow

Can't Pay Taxes.
Its hard for folks elsewhere to
realize the terrible poverty of the Da-
kota farmers" went on Knutson.
Last year their net earnings weren't
enough to pay off their back taxes, in
North Dakota. These back taxes
amount to some sixty million dollars.
Nor could they pay the back interest
on their mortgages, about one hun
bred million dollars. South Dakota
is as bad. There the total indebted
ness, public and private is $1,245,000.-
600.
Honesty" Can't Save Them.
1.-THE wheat farmers simply cannot
exist any longer on this basis. Condi-
tions are forcing them to look for a
radical solution. LaFollette doesn't
even attempt to offer them such So
luton. Honest capitalist government
can't save them from ruin"
What about the cooperative mar
keting talk Of the LaFollette progress
sives," Knutson was asked.
KnutsOn replied that the LaFollette
people were not specific enough to
satisfy the farmers, in the first place.
In the second place more and more
farmers were seeing that the schemes
were not workable under the present
system.
Norris Plan Won't Work.
Il put the Norris-Sinclair bill right
up to its author, Sinclair" said Knut-
son, driving home his point, 81 asked
him if his bill would actually work
under the present system of society.
He admitted it would not.
$50 there you are.
This does not mean that LaFol-
lette will not pool a large vote in
the Dakotas. 1t will be a protest
vote. But he is ceasing to be lead
er Of the wheat farmers. They de-
mand radical solution and the leader
who doesn't offer such a solution will
go.
VIII Go Like TownIey.
''Townley went down as a wheat
farmers leader. They once had great
confidence in him, over the Dakotas,
Minnesota and Montana. Then condi-
tions changed. Townley did not meet
the new needs. The farmers ceased
to follow him. 1t will be the same
way with LaFollette."
The Farmer-Labor Party's slogan of
THE Land for the Users" has made
a great impression on the farmers,
says Knutson. "The question they are
asking is how they are actually 60
ing to get the land that bankers hold
title to in their skyscraper Offices.
The Russian Way.
I've heard lots of farmers talk
about this-how are we going to get
the land" went on Knutson. "And
after lot of talking, you hear many
of them come to this conclusion:
There's only one way to do 1.-THE
way they did it in Russia"

Andy Mellon Escapes as
Privileged Bootlegger
BY LUDWELL DENNY.

IL - w - - - -
(staff Correspondent Of the Fed. Press)
NEW YORK, July 8.--Gaston
B. Means, Daugherty's depart
ment of justice agent and friend
of Harding and Jess Smith, has
been convicted with his assistant
Elmer w. Jarnecke in federal
court in New York of conspiracy
to violate the VoIstead act. An
drew w. Mellon, the distiIIery
owning secretary of the treas
ury, and others charged by
Means with sharing his guilt,
have come off without a trial
and without much publicity in
the press.
Mellon, when called to the
stand, was protected by govern
ment attorney Todd and Judge
G. E. Wolverton, and did not
have to answer the important
questions put by the defense.
Means charged that the trial was
the outcome Of his discovery in Mel
Ions bank Of illegal whisky with
drawals from the Overholt Distillery
at Pittsburgh in which Mellon holds
stock. The court would not let Mel
lon testify concerning the amount Of
his stock in the distillery. Nor was
Mellon allowed to answer the follow
ing question: do you know about the
release from the Overholt Distillery
Co., at Pittsburgh of 1880 cases and
$4,000 gallons Of whiskey to a man
named Goodman"
Exposing Dauaherty His Crime.
means and Jarnecke are victims of
persecution by the government" the
defense charged, resulting from the
activities of Means in assisting the
Brookhart committee of the senate in
it's investigation of the department of
justice and former attorney general
Harry M. Daugherty. These defen-
dants never would have been indicted
had they not aided in uncovering the
plot of men of wealth with political
influence to violate the prohibition
law. Their indictment is the direct
result of their interference with the
bootlegglng activities Of men high in
the political and financial worlds"
Jess Smith killed himself the day
after Means told Smith he was going
to reveal to congress the liquor deals
in which Means had paid Smith $780,
900, according to Means testimony.
Smith, the close friend and associate
of Daugherty, killed himself in the lat
ter's Washington apartment.
Harding In On 1t.
Harding's connection with Means
was brought out by Clark Grier, a
friend of the late president and dele
gate from Augusta, Georgia, to the
Chicago Republican convention. He
said Harding picked Means to handle
the national prohibition investigation,
with Jess Smith. Travis Hoke, a news
paper man, corroborated Means story
Of the disappearance of certain docu-
ments, including the letter from Hard
ing authorizing Jess Smith to conduct
the liquor investigation. 1t was from
this vantage point that Smith and
Means were able to rake off the $400,-
600 and more by facilitating and wink
ing at illegal whiskey Withdrawals.
"Not Trying Government"
Forged withdrawal permits were
found in MELONS bank in Pittsburgh"
Means testified in the course of the
trial. But the judge quickly cut off
the development of that testimony by
shouting in anger: "I'll tell you now,
we are not trying the government, we
are trying the defendants"

that the Socialists had been making

tradition in teaching "class con-

Cahan declared that the Socialist

SEASONING SALADS IS EASY
Imagination, ingenuity and Supply OF
Ingredients Are Chief
Requisites.

Recipes for salad dressing may be
found in any good cook book. Recipes
are not needed for combining fruits or
vegetables into palatable salads, says
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. Imagination, ingenuity and a
good seasoning shelf are the chief
requisites for success in salad making.
One must be able to imagine the taste
Of various materials in combination,
and to reject those that would for
some reason conflict. A little ingenuity
in experimenting, however, may bring
out unexpected and pleasing favors
The seasoning shelf may contain
number of ingredients which give zest
to milder favors

AMBER MARMALADEIS
GOOD DURING WINTER
Citrus Fruits Are Handy to Re-
pIenish Stock of Sweets.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
When the supply of preserves made
from summer berries and fruits begins
to run low, the stock of sweets may be
easily replenished by the use of the
citrus fruits. A delicious marmalade
can be made by combining an orange,
a grapefruit and lemon of average
size, with sugar and water.
The following recipe has been
standardized by the United States De
partment of Agriculture:
Amber MarmaTade From Orange, Grape
fruit and Lemon.
l orange. weighing about 7 ounces
l grapefruit, weighing about pound 8
ounces
/ lemon, weighing about 8 ounces
Select especially tender, clean, yell
low, smooth-skinned fruit, free from all
blemishes. The thick-skinned varie-
ties are better for this purpose than
are those having a thin, tough peel.
since this thin peel is likely to become
still tougher, after cooking with sugar
and acid.
Wash the fruit WELL Remove the
skins and slice them very thin. Cook
this peel in quart of cold water, three
times for five minutes each, discarding
the water after each boiling.
Cut the fruit pulp into thin slices,
removing the seeds and rag and com.
bine this sliced pulp with the par
boiled skins. To each weight or meas
ure of fruit add three times its own
weight or measure of water and boil
% minutes. Then add equal weight
or measure of sugar and boil rapidly
for % minutes longer, or until the
jelly stage is reached. Put at once
into scalded jelly glasses, and when
cold cover with paraf1n.
The amounts of fruit mentioned
above make about five pints of marina
lade (12 to IA glasses).
The marmalade should have clear
amber color, not at all of brownish
cast; it should be jellied throughout,
and the strips of peel which it con-
tains should be transparent and tender.
When larger amounts of fruit are
used, longer periods of cooking will
be necessary before the jelly stage is
reached, because Of the larger amount
of water which requires to be evaporat-
ed by boiling.

Exquisite Embroidery
Used on Chic Garments

Not so long ago one heard that en-

dead, and that no woman Of fashion
would dream of appearing in the fam-
buoyant embroideries that dominated
the fashions Of the season just past.
True enough in one sense, for the day
Of crude, vulgar embroideries is past,
but the day of intricate, exquisite ex-
amples Of the needle workers skill is
here and few things exceed in beauty

Slim, Straight Is
New Frock Slogan
Garments Lend Themselves
to Treatments That Are
Interesting.

Slim and exceedingly straight in line
as so many of the new frocks are.
nevertheless they lend themselves to
varied treatments as interesting as
they are novel, notes a fashion writer
in the Kansas City Star Since for
many people an absolutely unbroken
line is apt to be bit trying, certain de-
tails are introduced which relieve too
straight line, but do not detract from
the essential slenderness.
A circular f1Qunce attached to long.
slim frock is one of the most effective
means of breaking the line. This
f1ounce is of fur, trimmed to match
the circular cuffs on the sleeves; the
result is an ensemble Of distinction.
The Importance of brown is stressed
In the modes of midwinter. The ma
terial often is soft wool velours in a
particularly fattering tone. The fur
on the sleeves and forming the fiounce

added by narrow bands of dull gold
