REED STARTS TO STUMP COUNTRY
Missouri Senator Tilks in fells
 and Oklahoma

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 21 @ - Tn the fight for the united and militant democracy" which he demanded here last night to bring about ''the return of honesty in government" Senator James A. Reed of Missouri set out today for Tulsa. Okla.. and the far west to spread his doctrine of harmony.
 Opening his western campaign. the Missouri democratic presiden- tial candidate told his party that first of all it must be united. He set out the platform on which he believed the democratic party can unite and win.
 Most Important
 "The most Important question before the American people," he said. lis to drive the republican party from power; to take this gov ernment out of the hands of bood- lers. grafters and lobbyists and to place it's control once more in the hands of the American people,"
 Emphasizing the necessity for party harmony, the Missourian de- clined to discuss presidential can- didacies. Including my own." as he talked here with some of the Texas democratic leaders. With the award of some of the Texas votes in the democratic convention still in doubt and involved in factional strife. most of the Texans who streamed into the senator's hotel room were easily steered by him from political discussions
 The veteran silver-haired cam paigner who is making his first bid for the presidency. centered his opening attack on what he described as the public plunderers" and "corruptionists'' of the Harding and Coolidge administrations. He called for the swift and sure punishment of all public plunderers, bribe givers, election corruptionists and other malefactors." He departed from his prepared address to de- clare for law observance and to de- nounce racial and religious preju- dices.
 Upon other problems We may be in division," he said frankly. but here is a field on which the demo- cratic party can plant its banners.
 Return Of Honesty
 Return of honesty in govern ment and re-establishment of the old democratic doctrine.
 ''The inalienable right of the citizen to liberty of conscience without coercion, criticism or ob- loguy.
 Preservation of the right of freedom of the press. peaceable as sxmblage. trial by jury and the re- establishment of local self-govern- ment and the sovereignty of the states.
 Bringing the federal power within the limits not only of the letter but the spirit of the consti- tuition.
 Abolition of government by boards and bureaus.
 Equalization of the burdens of taxation: the repeal of all laws creating special privileges and the dismissal of a vast army of spies, spooners. sneaks and informers.

 Tokyo, Feb. z1 N>-Ballot boxes throughout the empire were opened today, but the result of yesterdays general election IS not expected to be made public until Thursday.
 Tho only disturbance during the election was an earthquake center- ing at Yonago in the Shiman prov tnce. This caused confusion at the polling places and stopped clocks. People ran from their homes. No casualties were reported.
 There were no riots or fighting during the election. Charges of violation of the election law during the campaign approximated a thousand.
 It is unofficially estimated today that 75 per cent of the l2,000, GOO men entitled to vote under the new manhood suffrage, law exercised the right, this law extended the fran chise to 9.O00,000 new voters, and the estimated turnout exceeded ex- .pectations.

SAYS F0RDS HAVE
 COMMITTED FRAUD
Claim They Got Lincoln Motor
 Company Illegally

Pontiac, Mich, Feb. 21 R - The charge that Henry and Edsel Ford obtained the Lincoln Motor com. pany by fraud is contained in briefs filed in the Leland-Ford &c., Oo0,0oO damage suit in circuit court here.
 The accusation was made in documents entered in the record yesterday by attorneys for Henry M. and Wilfred Leland. who are bringing the action against the Fords on behalf of 1000 other for mer stockholders of the Lincoln company. It follows in part:
 "The Fords obtained the Lincoln property by virtue of their promises to us to retain these properties and to break their promises to us is a species of fraud. And charged with that fraud, they now seek to per- petrate it against these 2.00o plain- tiffs by resort to technicalities that are not even specious. rather than. as would an innocent man, demand ing a prompt trial that they might be exculpated of the serious wrong we charge"
 Briefs Asked
 Briefs were asked of both sides by the presiding judge before pass ing on a motion by attorneys for the Fords to void the bill of com- plaint, which alleges that at the time the factory was purchased at receivership sale in 1922 the Fords verbally agreed to reimburse the stockholders for losses incurred.
 In the defendants briefs. also filed yesterday, it was asserted that the alleged verbal contract was en- tered into by the plaintiff Lelands to procure special advantages for themselves. It continues:
 "The alleged oral contract is a contract to answer for the debt. default. or misdoings of the Lin- coin Motor company, a Delaware corporation, and is void under the statute of fraud of the state of Michigan"
 Presiding Judge Covert will take up the briefs for consideration Wednesday, If the court holds the Fords must answer the bill, a long drawn out legal battle is antici- pated

MINNESOTA STEEL
VALUABLE BOOKLET

The Miner is in receipt Of booklet
describing the making of steel and
steel products at the Minnesota Steel
Company at Morgan Park, Duluth.
The booklet is just what we wanted
to use in trying to impress visitors
with the magnitude and efficiency of
this modern plant. We extend our
thanks to the management for this
very acceptable souvenir. In speaking
of the booklet no better description
can be given than that Of Skillings'
Mining Review of Duluth which says:
"The Minnesota Steel Company of
Duluth has issued a new booklet,
descriptive of the activities and related
industries of this large enterprise. It
Is entitled How Steel and Steel Wire
Products Are Made, and is designed
as a souvenir of visit to the works
of the company, and the model city
of Morgan Park.
under the caption "a Visit to the
Minnesota Steel Plant" 1t is pointed
out that to q visitor unfamiliar with
steel making great deal of the in
terest in trip through the plant is
lost If the manufacturing details are
not understood, at least in general
way. This booklet is intended to serve
that purpose and to give better idea
of the relation of one process to an
other. The directors of the Morgan
Park Clubhouse extend invitation to
make use of its club facilities as a
resting place during ones visit At
the same time one may look through
the exhibit of models and specimens
relating to steel and wire manufac-
ture, fully described in the booklet just
issued.
"a visit to the plant Of the Mime
sofa Steel Company and the Universal
Portland Cement plant nearby, consti-
tutes one of the most interesting and
instructive that can be imagined. The
wonderful things done in the manu-
facture of wire mill products are worth
going far to see. The Illinois Steel
Company, who operate numerous
plants elsewhere. act as selling agents
for the Minnesota Steel Company.
1.-THE descriptive work, and the illus
trations, of the booklet just issued by
the Minnesota Steel Company, make
it worthy of place in the library and
Office. The information which II con-
tains should be widely known"
