SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May 1.-THE
battle for United States senator in
South. Dakota was formally opened
this week when u. S. G. Cherry of
Sioux Fails, the Democratic candi-

held until after the 1922 election a
report on the condition of the state
government machinery compiled by
a committee of efficiency experts who
made a survey of administrative ma

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 17.-Such
EXPIRE ressions Of sentiment as have
been made by Ohio Republicans since
they gave President Coolidge over
primary, indicate that the President
Is growing in favor here, and this is
not wholly confined to those who
claim afiiliation with the Republican
party.
1t was made clear in that vote
that Mr.. Coolidge had not suffered
through the developments of the in
vestgation of the Office of the attor-
ney general
The opposition to the President in
Congress on most of the measures
popular with the masses of the peo-
pie is serving to bring out the politi-
cal strength Of Mr.. Coolidge in a
striking way, and the Republicans
from this state who are not support
ing the Presidents efforts toward
ton are being roundly denounced.
The party newspapers are beginning
to speak sternly of the situation-a
party prafsing it's President and over
throwing his policies one after the
other as they come within it's power.
Asks House Members' Defeat.
The Ohio State Journal, in an edi-
torial last Wednesday, discuss
ing the Presidents qualities of lead
ership, said: I'VE who expect to vote
for him ought to be thinking about
what we can do to bring about the
election of a. Congress with disCre-
tion and courage enough to stand by
him If he wins There are many Re-
publican members Of the present
Congress whose denomination, IL one
believes in President Coolidge and
his policies, it would be an absurdity
to help along"
It has been announced here that
every one of the fifteen Republican
poets to ask for nomination in August
for reelection. but only Representa-
tive Burton has regularly supported
the administra policies under Mr..
Coolidge.
Ohio has become a great industrial
and commercial state. Two decades
ago the census showed that more
than half it's population lived in large
municipalities. The leaders in the
dependents sorely feel the burden of
taxation and are chafing under the
reluctance Of Congress to grant re-
lief. Secretary Mellon is very popu-
lar with all classes here. They be-
lieve in his plan and have no patience
with those who are saying he is a
rich man and has drawn his plan
with the wealthy mainly in mind.
The members of a chain of news
papers in this state started out
with that argument when the Mel
has long ceased to make such express

NASHVILLE, Tenn. May IT,
Throughout Tennessee today county
conventions are being held to name
delegates to the Democratic state
convention here next Thursday, when
TennesSee's delegation to the ma
tional gathering in New York will
be named. The fight in the county
conventions was between Underwood
and McAdoo for instructed delega-
tions to the state conventions, sup
porters of other prospective candi-
dates making little show of effort.
McAdoo spent three days in the
state prior to these county meetings
and made three speeches. In all his
speeches he strongly urged that the
Tennessee delegation to New York be
instructed, as against an uninstruct-
ed delegation. On the other hand,
the Underwood management in Ten
nessee makes vigorous claims to the
Tennessee delegation.
Tennessee is entitled to twenty
four delegates in the national con-
vention. W. E. BEARD.

CONSIDER OUR ADVANTAGES

The number Of telephones in use
in each of the fifteen largest cities in
the United States is graphic evidence
OF the important place that the tele :
phones fill in American life. New
York City, with over 1,1S6,0O0 tele-
phones, Chicago, with over 100000,
Boston, with over $40, 900, enjoy
telephone facilities far in advance
of those in foreign cities of compar-
able size.
In fact, great nations. even whole
continents, have fewer telephones
than some American cities. There
are more telephones in New York
City, for example, than in the entire
Kingdom Of Great Britain, more than
in the whole continents of Asia
Africa and, Australia, combined.
Chiacgo has more telephones than
France: and the telephone exchange
area OF Boston contains more tele-
phones than are In operation in the
entire continent of South America.
