Tobacco Seed Smaller
Than That Of Mustard

The cultivation Of the tobacco used
in the making of cigarettes is a most
interesting process, even to those who
may disapprove of the habit of smok-
ing the completed product. The to-
bacco seed is so tiny that a single
tablespoonful will produce plants
enough to cover ten acres. Certain
growers whose crops are always Of
the highest excellence will not sell a
single seed at any price. Every crop
is kept in the warehouse from three
to five years for the purpose Of incl
lowing" or "sweating''-which occurs
twice yearly-before the leaves are
subject to "stemming." Sand and dust
that have remained are shaken out by
sleeves, with the result that the tobacco
is Is to 30 per cent lighter because Of
the absence of the midrib and sand

this conference was to get Toms con-
sent to become the Democratic candi-
date for Governor in 1926.
The Herald editor has known Tom
Meighen since 1908. At that time
he was an ardent Populist, one of the
"Big Guns" of the party in the state.
Since then he has supported every
political ism with radical tinge. He
has been defeated for office almost
times without number, from Congress
from the First District, up or down,
as you care to figure. He has the
necessary mazuma to make cam
paign but to separate him from it
there will be the rub.
Of course Frank Day of Fairmont
Sentinel fame was at the conference
to lend his seductive speech and man.
ner in enticing Thomas into the Dem
ocratic fold.
Tom likes politics and publicity,
and he has sufficient ability to be
chief executive. If he were elected
Governor some of these fellows who
are fawning on him now would be
cussin' him to beat the band 80 days
after his Inauguration because
Thomas would most assuredly inform
them that he was the Gov. and would
make his own appointments.
However no one need to become
needlessly excited over the mention
of his name as he couldn't carry his
own county of Fillmore, to say moth
ing Of the balance of the state.

THE EXPECTED HAPPENS

The name of LaFollette is still re-
yered by the citizenry of Wisconsin
At Tuesdays primary election to
nominate a candidate to fill the un-
expired term of the late senator
Young Bob swept precinct after pre-
cinct, and with three-fourths of the
state reporting he-has majority over
his nearest rival of about 5000.
The LaFollette brand of politics
has been out of alignment with the
Republican organization of the state
for some years. In the campaign OF
last year the elder LaFollette deserted
the Republican party when he became
a candidate of the radical forces for
President of the United States. His
son filed as his successor as Repub-
lican less than a year later and car
ried every county in the state but
three.
Young Bob is not Republican, but
a Radical. The things he stands for
apparently makes no difference to the
electorate of the Badger state-they
revere the name and memory of his
illustrious father.
The result of Tuesdays primaries
in Wisconsin is not surprising to one
who has watched the trend OF the
campaign. -
Robert LaFollette, Jr., is barely 80
years old, just past the age when ne
could become a candidate for the
United States Senate. He will un-
doubtedly be elected and will be-
come the youngest member of the
American House of Lords.

The "Big Three" at the State Cap
itol have found home for the State
Departments which will have to be
located outside the Capitol building
itself. A decision has finally been
made to use a part of the Foot
Schulze building at Ninth and Robert
Streets and all State Offices may,
therefore, be found either in the Cap
itol itself or within easy walking dis
lance thereto.
Space, in the Foot-Schulze building
was available because the building
when built several years ago was
erected with the idea of taking care
of all demands for a great many years
to come, and the space can be made
available without handicapping the
growth of this well-known concern in
any way.
Because St. Paul was the host to

time of its Annual Convention, there
is manifested in the Twin Cities these
days very great interest in the COM
ing convention at Omaha. Special

for and large band from st. Paul

A DEMAGOGUE IN THE
DISCARD

The electorate of New York City
took terrible wallop at Mayor Hylan
and William Randolph Hearst Tues
day when the regular Tammany
candidate, State Senator James l.
Walker, defeated Hylan for renomi-
nation by majority of approximately
100, 1000.
Gov. AL. Smith took an active hand
in the campaign and the defeat of
Hylan is to some extent a personal
victory for the Governor. In the
heat of the campaign both Hylan and
about each other.
When the National Editorial As
ISOLATION representatives visited New
York City in July, 1923 they were es-
corted to the City Hall where they
were addressed by Mr.. Hylan. He
did not impress the average member
of the editorial party as being a man
of more than very average ability,
but he had an ego that was very much
overdeveloped. If one took him at
his own estimation at that gathering
he would arrive at the conclusion that
he held Greater New York in the hol-
low of his hand. 1t was even limited
by some of his close followers that
he was Presidential possibility. If
that condition was true at that time
he has certainly slipped, judging by
the returns from Tuesdays primary.
For several years the Hearst-Hylan
combine has been a powerful one al
Hylan was elected mayor in spite of
the combined opposition of the news
papers of Greater New York except
the string controlled by Hearst. He
also had Tammany. Hylan grew un-
ruly and Tammany does not hesitate
to dump a man into the discard when
