Organizers OF the movement con-

McNary-Haugen bill furnished a con-
crete basis on which to mobilize the
farmers and that many would come
here In June. Those opposed gener-
ally believed the "dirt farmers
lacked definite opinions on relief
measures. Kansas Citians, including
convention arrangement committee
men, favored the movement or any
other project that would bring more
visitors here.
From Indiana, Illinois and other
middlewestern states came reports Of
organized efforts to recruit farmers
for the convention trek. On the
heels OF an announcement by Ralph
Snyder, president of the Kansas farm
bureau federation, that he had sent
out letters urging representation LOT

an opinion from John Vesecky, head

War Not Needed,
Pershing Says

THIAUCOURT. France, May So
Rl-Millions Of graves cry out
against war and the big nations
must show the way to durable peace.
General John J.. Pershing told an
assemblage Of French and Americans
at St. Mihiel cemetery today after
school children had strewn flowers
on the graves Of American war dead.
The war that threatened civiliza-
tion came, he said. because .of the
"fallacious theory that war is an
essential element in the national
policy OF a government and an er-
roneous belief that nations become
great through aggressive undertake
ings carried on regardless Of right
and justice. Against such views. the
reasoning Of cabinets and the crel-
ton Of ententes too often have
shown themselves powerless.'
General Pershing asserted tina.
history %disproves that the expansion
of one modern civilized nation at
the expense OF another can Be per
manent and nations that attempt in
the future 70 achieve greatness
through unjust aggression are GER
tain 10 incur n active hostility OF
all other nations"
Making what was regarded as a
reference to Secretary Kellogg's
proposal of a treaty to oGtlaw war,
General Pershing said: an order to
make lasting peace still more prob
able there would appear TO Be no
longer any reason why the leading
civilized powers should not agree
among themselves to the general
principle Of the elimination Of war
an avowed instrument of national
policy. Such an agreement would
certainly meet universal approval
among teh peoples themselves. It
not interfere with the necessi-
ties Of reasonable armament or the
fulfillment of consistent obliga-
tons"

Holmes and DuVaII Action
Loses; Ruling UphOIdS
Right to Office.
ONE CASE IS PENDING
Attempt of Hogue to Get
MayoraIty Still Waits
for Decision.
ONE CASE is PENDING

The Appellate Court Of Indiana,
by unanimous decision, today threw
cut of court the suit OF Ira M.
Holmes and former Mayor John L.
Duvall to unseat Mayor L. Ert Slack.
The court dismissed Holmes ap-
peal from the refusal of Marion
County Superior Court to dismiss
the restraining order which Claude
E. Negley obtained, prohibiting
Holmes from interfering with Neg
leys duties as acting mayor and de-
clared:
1T now appears that his Meg
ley's) duties as such acting mayor
ceased, and that he ceased to act
as mayor, on Nov. 8, and that l..
Ert Slack was on said date elected
by the common council of Indian
apolis as the mayor of the city to
fill the unexpired term of John l..
Duvall."
The court based its ruling on the
grounds that the restraining order
Negley obtained no longer is op-
erative. and that no question of
public interest is involved in Holmes
appeal.
Holmes claimed to become mayor
on Oct. 81, the date council de-
clared Duvall out of office and
named Negley acting mayor.
Duvall resigned, making Mrs.
Duvall, who was city controller.
mayor, and Mrs Duvall resigned
after naming Holmes controller,
which made him mayor, Holmes
contended.
The only suit contesting Slack's
election to office remaining to be
decided Is that of Joseph L. Hogue,
city controller under the late mayor,
-bev Shank which is before the
Supreme Court. Hogue contends
Duvall never legally became mayor
and that he succeeded to Shank S
right to Office on Shank's death.
The suits contesting Slack's
tenure have prevented the sale of
city bonds.
