LaFoette In North Dakota

Written Specially for The Leader

WASHINGTON, April q Not
since the stirring days of 1912, when
Theodore Roosevelt and his Bull
Moosers threw monkey-wrench in
to the G. O. P. works have Republi-
can leaders been so nonplussed at the
trend of affairs as now.
The remarkable showing of Sena-
tor Robert M. La Toilette in the North
Dakota primaries, when by means of
last-minute distribution of stickers,
his supporters rallied sufficiently to
give the old-time party adherents the
scare of their lives is still the chief
| topic of discussion here in Washing
ton
That the Wisconsin's old war horse
has strong following in certain sec
tons of the country, especially the
Northwest, where the Farmer Labor
vote is most marked, is conceded by
those in charge of the Coolidge cam
paign. In fact, standlpat leaders fear

third party movement more than any

ty Moses" to lead them out of the

True, Senator LaFollette's recen
illness has been source of great con.
Germ to his admirers. He is not a well
man by any means, and whether he
could stand the strain of a strenuous
Presidential campaign, which would
surely be the case should third par
tp materialize, is problematic. His
fighting proclivities are well-known
however, and nothing short of a COM
plete breakdown would possibly deter
him, once he felt the call for his leader
ship was imperative.
Senator La Toilette is serving his
fourth term in the Senate. He is six
ty-nine years old, and until his recent
illness has always been noted for his
rugged constitution and indbmitable
spirit.

WASHINGTON, April2-No mat
ter to what his opponents attribute the
causes, the sweeping victory of Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo over Senator Os-
car Underwood in the Georgia prim-
aries has greatly revived hopes of his
supporters and added perceptable
impetus to his campaign Tor the Dem
ocratic Presidential nomination.
Until mentioned in connection with
the oil investigation it was freely ad-
mitted by all factions of the party
that the candidate who beat the for
mer Secretary of the Treasury would
unquestionably receive the nomination
This sentiment was pronounced ever
among his avowed enemies, at the
meeting of the Democratic Nationa
C Committeeman here in January ane
while there were those who openly
boosted he would never muster th'
necessary two thirds majority, thu
candidate himself and all of his as

WHITE TRAINMEN WIN
FIGHT FOR THEIR JOBS

CHICAGO, The protest of train
men against the action of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific railway COM
pany in disseminating the service of
head-end brakemen on passenger
trains and filling such positions with
negro porters was sustained late Fri
day by the United States railroad la
Dor board. Members Horace Baker
and ]. H. Elliot, in dissenting opin-
ion, declared the decision "far reach
ing its wrongful and harmful effect,
not only on this but on other carriers"
The ground taken by the majority was
that the action of the carriers violated
its agreement with the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen which became eff
fective March /, 1920.
Representatives of the Brotherhood
contended that this agreement pro-
vided that negro brakemen, who had
been classed as such by an order of
the federal railroad administration,
would hold rights on head-end posi-
tons as brakemen of freight service
In exchange for this consideration
white trainmen were given rights on
the head-end positions in passenger
service which were formerly held ex-
clusively by the negro brakemen Be-
fore the federal order was issued, the
company was alleged to have employed
negro porters who performed the du-
ties of head-end passenger brakemen
at lesser rate than that paid white
brakemen. After the order was issued
they were paid trainmen's rates.

STRANGER PASSES WORTHLESS
CHECK

A friendly stranger who called
Granite merchants by their given
names and who appeared deeply in
terested in their good health, passed
worthless checks Saturday evening a
week ago to the amount of $1,000.
The man gave the name of Frank
Campbell, short, heavy man about
forty years of age and wearing a
cap.
Saturday evening the Granite bus
mess places were exceptionally busy
when each place in turn received a
call from the friendly stranger. He
would call the proprietor by his first
name remarking that it seemed
mighty good to get back to "good
old Ganite again." After purchasing
a few small articles the man, who
gave the name of Frank Campbell,
would produce a check made out to
him in an amount, sometimes for
$500, and other times for amounts
as high as $500 and signed by well
known farmers living near Wegdahl.
The checks were all drawn on the
Wegdahl bank with the exception of
one which was drawn on Monte
yideo bank.-Granite Falls Tribune.

Threshing Prob
lens Discussed
H. C. GILDEMEISTER SPEAKER AT
MONDAY MEETING AT
WABASSO

H. C. Gildemeister of Gaylord, Pres
ident Of the Minnesota Threshers
Brotherhood, was the speaker at the
meeting of Redwood County thresh-
ermen held at Wabasso Monday. The
meeting was called by County Agent
Lynn Sheldon to discuss the weed
law as it concerned the operators of
threshing machines, and also the ap-
plication of the workmen's compen-
sation law to the employees of thresh-
ermen. Mr.. Gildemeister discussed
the matters thoroughly and much
helpful information was given to the
men who are about to start the work
of threshing Redwood County's crop.
Mr.. Sheldon also assisted in the solv-
ing of some of the problems.
The meeting was splendidly attend
ed, fifty owners or operators of
threshing outfits having responded to
the call from the County Agent.
These men represented all sctions
of the County and the interest in the
matter discussed was intense. A. j.
Fritz of Wabasso was elected chair
man and E. E. Troske of Wabasso
secretary, these men to continue in
office for one year, and to call other
meetings should the need arise.

Morgan Cows
Make Good Record
TESTING SHOWS FOURTEEN
COWS DESERVE POUND-A-
DAY RIBBON

Fourteen cows in the Morgan Cow
Testing Association, of which Charles
A. Stiles is tester, have qualified for
ribbons of merit issued by North
west Farmstead, Minneapolis. All of
them are grade Holsteins which, hav-
ing made 365 or more pounds of fat
during the test year, will receive the
"pound-a-day" ribbons of merit.
Two cows, Bell and Long Teat,
owned by N. L .Quesenberry of Glenn
ents produced respectively 416.4 and
458 pounds of fat during the year;
Bessie, Floria, HAMA and Johanna,
the property of Hans Knudsen of
Morgan, produced respectively 448.3,
378, 368 and 422 pounds; Blacky own
ed by Bruce Parker of Morgan made
392 pounds; Bib Blue owned by Phil
lip Schmidt of Morgan, had record
of 448.4 pounds; Spot and Cady in
the herd of Forrest Crocker of Nor
gan produced respectively Alt and
All; Spot, a cow belonging to Theo-
dore Schmidt of Morgan gave 394
pounds; Darkness and Redwood be-
longing to Bert Ramey Of Redwood
Falls produced respectively 395 and
d ~, anu Dig cOilli, a COW O"ACu DS
George Green Of Morgan, produced
381 pounds of fat.
BY means of cow testing associa-
tions, many valuable and high pro-
ducing cows have been saved from
the butcher as the association rec
ords have disclosd their capacities
which otherwise would have gone un-
recognized. By the same means,
boarder cows, perhaps of excellent
appearance but really producing less
then the cost of their feed and care,
have been eliminated from herds to
the profit of their owners. The cost
to each dairyman in an association
for testing his entire herd during the
year averages between $500 and $4.00
per month.
The average cow in Minnesota, in
cluding grades and pure-breds, pro-
duces 166 pounds of butterfat year.
So it will be seen that a pound-a-
day cow produces more than twice as
much as the average Minnesota cow.
The fact that Ia cows in this as
sociation have qualified for these rib
bons indicate the adaptibility of Red
wood County to dairying. 1t also in
dicates the ability as breeders and
feeders of the men who have sue
ceeded in winning these ribbons. 1t
is also a testimonial to the ability
of the tester whose advice and coun-
sci in matters of feeding and care
are part of the service he renders.
