Combined Opposition Canvass
ing Means Of Preventing
Favorite Corraling Neces-
sary SIS Nominating Votes
-Hanna's Daughter Directs
Fight Publicity

!. Kansas City, June S.-CF-The
line of battle for the Republican
presidential nomination stood clearly
defined today between Herbert
Hoover and q determined group or
ganized and pledged to defeat him.
Mobilized to stem the cabinet
members progress toward the nomi-
nation, the combined strength of
Lowden, Curtis, Watson, Goff and
the remnants Of the Willis organ
ization has fixed one immediate OBJ
jective-the blocking of Hoover's 8
selection on an early ballot.
With the forces thus organized the
strategy councils of the combined
opposition now are canvassing the
means by which they can prevent
Hoover from getting the necessary
646 nominating votes. The aim of
these strategists is to hold intact
the votes Of their own candidates
while endeavoriug to wean from the
Hoover and doubtful delegations
enough strength to keep the issue
in doubt.
Analysing Hoover's second-choice
support as his weakest point, the
opposition councillors are searching
for rallying standard toward
which that support might be drawn.
Some Of them have injected the
name Of President. Coolidge as a
magnet that they believe might
prove irresistible and accordingly
have suggested the wisdom Of
switching some Of their own votes
to Coolidge on the opening ballot.
Personalities Not Base
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick,
director Of publicity for the anti
Hoover coalition, declared today
that the campaign Of the opposition
was not based on personalities and
that if Hoover is nominated all Re-
publicans will support him.
The plan Of the coalition, she said,
was to bring as forcibly as possible
before the delegates the superior
availability Of Lowden, Curtis or
Watson over Hoover for the nomi-
nation in orde. for the Republican
party to be placed in q better posi-
tion to carry the election.
This campaign to show that
Hoover's nomination would mean q
hard fight for the party in Novem-
Der will continue, Mrs. Mccormick

LONGEST OCEAN
HOP IS NEARING
JOURNEYS END
Plane R0ars Through Moon
light Night on 1,762-Mile
Path to Brisbane
JUMP ENDS AT SYDNEY
American Navigator and Radio
Operator Remain Members
of Ships Crew

Suva. Fiji, June S.-(AP)-The
dream of two Australian aviators to
be the first to fly from America to
their homeland. was approaching
realization today as the monoplane
Southern Cross roared r 4 It's way to
Brisbane. capital of Queensland.
The giant tri-niotored monoplane
hoped off this afternoon from
Naselai Beach. sixteen miles from
Suva. on the Island Oh VIII Levu and,
heading across 1852 miles of sea,
was expected to land in Brisbane in
about 10 or 20 hours.
A radio message from the plane
quoted Co-pilot Charles Ulm as saw
ing "Please tell Brisbane we will be
there about $50 a. m. Brisbane
time tomorrow" Approximately 2:3O
p. M. Friday, Pacific coast time).
Arrival Of the plane in Brisbane
will mark completion of the trans
pacific portion Of the 1890 mile
flight from Oakland, Calf, to Syd-
ney. Australia. After the flyers
have remained in Brisbane a day
Captain Charles Kingsford- Smith
and Charles Ulm, Australian pilots
of the plane, intend to fly south
along the coast of their homeland to
Sydney, New South Wales. This
will he the final hop Of their jour-
ney from America and will conclude
the worlds longest flight over the
sea. Sydney is about 500 miles from
Brisbane.
Thanks Message Broadcast
As the plane drew away from
Suva radio messages were broad
cast. thanking those who had had
IA part in promoting or encouraging
the expedition. Captain Allan Ham
cock Of Los Angeles, Calf, who
financed the flight. friends Of Ha-
waii. the mayor and other officials
Of Suva, the Fijian chiefs who con-
ferred native honors and friends in
Australia whose cablegrams of
cheer gave promise Of an over
whelming joyous greeting-all these
were heartily thanked in messages
broadcast from the plane as it sped
IS miles an hour through the night.
The town Of Noumea, on the
southern tip of the largest island in
the New Caledonian group, was
brilliantly lighted during the night,
a message sent out by radio station
there stated. A powerful search
light was flashed to and fro into the
darkness as guidance for the airmen
and the radio station was endeavor-
ing to communicate with the plane.
Noumea said the planes singals
were heard clearly.
Generator Is Awry
Everything was not in perfect
working order aboard the plane.
One message said that the port gen.
orator was awry and that messages
would have to be curtailed in order
to save the batteries.
Harry w. Lyon, who navigated the
plane from Oakland to Hawaii,
thence to Suva, and James Warner,
radio operator, will leave the plane
at Brisbane. These two Americans,
it was understood, were employed by
the two Australians to accompany
them as far as Suva.
At Suva Captain Kingsford- Smith
announced that Lyon and Warner
were invited to accompany the plane
on to Brisbane-because of the as
sistance they gave during a rather
rough and tricky trip from Hawaii
1.13S miles southwestward to Suva
The Americans were heartily
praised by their Australia: compan-
ions.

Missouri Slope Wool
Pool Sold for $65, 900
North Dakota Fleeces Worth
AZ Cents Per Pound-Chi.
cago Firm Successful Bidder
1928 Clip Comes from 15,-
600 Sheep in Burleigh, Nor
ton, Emmons, Kidder and
Mclean Counties

Wool-raising is coming into its
own on the Missouri slope. The Mis-
souri, Slope Region Wool Growers
association yesterday contracted to
sell its 100000 pounds of wool for
approximately $65,000. This is the
highest price paid this year for wool
in North Dakota and the most wool
produced on the Missouri slope in
one season.
Bolles and Rogers company, Chi
cago, was the successful bidder for
the wool which was pooled by 200
farmers in this district. The Chi
cago firm offered az cents per
pound Of fleece, four cents more
than any bid of previous years, and
made q down paymen. to the pool
committee Of $4,000. The cotnract
was closed by the Chicago compa-
ny's state agent at Fargo and the
committee handling the pools har-
vest.
Two years ago. Missouri slope
wool-growers sold $4,000 pounds Of
wool for aboat $l2,500. Last year
the same farmers, organized in a
pool, sold 1OO, 900 pounds for approx
imately $4,000. Organized effort
this year has made it possible to
double the value of the wool on the
Missouri SLOPE. In 1926, one car
load Of wool was shipped, two car
loads in 1927, and three carloads
will be shipped this year when the
shearing is completed, about July /.
The growth within the next year Of
the wool industry should be just as
great as that Of the two previous
years.
Clip $1,000 Sheep
The 1928 clip comes from about
$4,000 sheep. It includes all Of the
wool in Burleigh, Kidder, and Nc
Lean counties, and some in Emmons
and Morton counties. Farmers who
are interested in joining the wool
pool may do 50 by getting in touch
with Mclean County Agent L. A.
Norling, Washburn, Kidder County
Agent Carl T. Carlson, Steele. or
Burleigh County Agent A. r. ME-
sen, BISMARCK.
The presidents Of county pools are
A. E. Paulson, Underwood, Mclean
county, and H. E. Wildfang, Sterl-
ing, Burleigh county. Mr.. Wildfang
is president of the Missouri Slope
Region Wool Growers association,
ad A. r. Miesen is secretary-treas-
urer.
That the industry is destined to
grow in this section is evidenced by
the fact that arrangements are be-
ing made to bring 1900 Ramboullet
ewes to the Missouri valley about
July 1. Information regarding the
sale of these sheep may be obtained
from any of the officers of the asso-
citation mentioned above, particularly
Mr.. Miesen.
The offer of AZ cents a pound is
the highest price paid so far this
year in North Dakota and the pool
is the largest in the state also.
Each farmer upon entering the pool
may receive one dollar per head of
his sheep as a down payment from
the association if he desires and will
get the balance Of his amount when
delivery is made, according to Mr..
Miesen.
Bids were received from Is or 20
wool-purchasing firms in the United
States, the next best bid being 40
rents

ANTI-H0OVER COALITION OBJECTIVE
EBL0CK OF EARLY BALLOT VICTORY

added, in the hope that the delegates
will realize the Republicans will
have an easier time next November
by accepting someone else than
Hoover.
"There is nothing sinister about
our campaign" she said, "and we
are in no way to be considered as
boilers or with the intention Of bolt
ing. We will do all we can to nom-
mate someone we think is better
for the party nationally than Mr..
Hoover, but If he should win the
nomination all Republicans will sup
port him. There are no personal
tiles involved in this movement"
Tilson Opens Quarters
The need Of q running mate for
presidential nominees was brought
out here today in maneuvers pre-
liminary to the Republican National
convention formal opening Of q
headquarters for Representative
John Q. Tilson Of Connecticut. Mr..
Tilson, Republican floor leader in
the house, is the first vice presiden-
tial candidate to be represented by
an office staff.

tered = bid for representation in
major convention activities. Among
the arrivals are Osro Cobb, %, men,
Der of the Arkansas legislature
from Montgomery county, youngest
delegate, and Miss Gladys Terhune
OF Twin Falls, Idaho, youngest Ma
tional committeewoman. Miss Ter
hune,a business woman, is 81 years
old.
Badges Predominate
Those convention badges threaten
to be as confusing as naval insignia
in an inland town. Most everyone
connected with convention activities
has q badge bearing glistening en-
blems, but only delegates, alternates
and few others may view door
keepers with cortempt. Hundreds
of badges issued to entertainment
committees bore the note: "Not
good for admittance to convention
hall"
Madame Ernestine Schumann-
Heink, who appeared here last
spring in . farewell concert in eel
ebration Of half century on the
stage, has returned and will sing
at the convention. She returned

United States and every place sub.
ject to its jurisdiction" Mrs. Jane

colored Shriners from using a name
so similar to theirs and also from
using the names Shrine" "Shrin-
ers" and Mobiles" and the constitu-
ton, emblems, insignia and parapher-
MALTA of the order.
The Texas courts granted the
white Shriners an injunction against
the colored Shriners of the United

Supreme Court of the United States.
The case was argued January 12
and 13 and the Supreme Court has
had it under advisement ever since.
1t is one of five appellate cases pend
ing from last term.
James Il. White, Samuel A. T.
Watkins, Moorfied Story and Harold
