rendered the nomination Of either
Wood or Lowdcn impossible.
So. when the deadlock broke,
Harry Daugherty trotted out his
dark horse, Senator Harding, who
had started with only IS IL votes.
The rest is history, including the
forced retirement of Attorney Gen
cral Daugherty a few years later.
Governor from 1916 to 1920
Aside from five rather colorless
years as member of Congress
from the 18th district Of Illinois un-
til he voluntarily retired in 1913,
the only political office Frank o.
Lowdcn ever held was thu. as gov.
ernor of Illinois.
From 1916 to 1920, as governor,
he converted a state deficit into q
state surplus of $15,0Os 900, despite
the fact that he twice reduced state
taxes, clipping off 100000 a year.
Business acumen and ability did
1t. Gov. Lowden consolidated l25
state departments and bureaus into
nine compact department. with re-
sponsible heads, applied the budget
system to state finances and sue
ceeded admirably.
Putting the state on a business
basis was easy for Gov. Lowden.
For years he had been q business
lawyer, dealing with complicated
business problems, and he merely
applied his business principles to
the state government.
Hats Bakers War
Once there was bakers war in
Chicago and Lowden was engaged
by one of the factions as its attor-
ney. He not only succeeded in halt.
IN" the war, but he brought the
warning factions together into a
merger and out Of this arose the
National Biscuit Co. He is also
given credit for having organized
the American Radiator Co. and
other 'big business" concerns.
Lowden's law practice and invest
ments have made him wealthy.
Moreover, he married daughter of
George N. Pullman, the wealthy
sleeping car king.
A few years later. when George
N. Pullman died, Mrs. Lowden ind
her sister divided between them
selves the thirty Pullman millions.

PandOlfO's Scheme
Being Investigated

Investigation into promotion
scheme which s. c. Pandolfo, one
time promoter of the Pan Motors
company, is said to be floating in
North Dakota has been launched by
the state securities commission, ac-
cording to f. O. Bailey, secretary.
Reports received by the commits
sion are that Pandolfo and his son
have been in the state for several
months seeking financial support for
a chain Of doughnut factories which
they propose to establish in the large
population centers. These factories,
SO the story goes, would make a
"greaseless doughnut" and would
wholesale the product to bakers and
retailers.
Pandolfo has no license to sell
stock in this state, Bailey said, but
is said to be evading the state secur-
tiles law by following the lead Of
A. c. Townley in borrowing money
on his personal note. I
Townley is said to have raised a
huge amount of money, variously
estimated at from $25O,OOO to
81 900, 900, on his bare signature and
Pandolfo is said to be using the
same system. One report received
at the state capitol here was that
he had raised more than $4,000 in
that manner in the vicinity of Ryder
alone. Ryder is in southwestern
Ward county.
In recent issue of a Ward county
weekly newspaper, Pandolfo was
quoted as saying that Mckenzie
county is vast empire but greatly
in need Of development since, so far
as he could ascertain, there isn't
a bathtub in the entire county.
A Mountrail county weekly replied
that machine for making grease
less doughnuts is advertised by
mail order house for S8.75 and in
quired if Pandolfo was cognizant Of
that fact.

There are "kings" in various industries, and
they wear their crowns, for the most part,
with laudable pride. Herman Praeger of Bar
ton county, Kansas, the new wheat king" of
the sunfower state, has been coronated as the
champion wheat grower, in competition with
81 other champions, at the Farm and Home
week of the Kansas State Agricultural college.
He made total Of $4,000 points, and was
awarded $500 cash prize and silver trophy

testing 63.5 pounds per bushel, with protein
content of 11.42 per cent.
These technical details do not mean as much
to the general public as to the initiated, but
Mr.. Praeger's yield was far above the average
for Barton county, and everybody can under
stand the firm foundation on which rests the
distinction that he won.
1t is obvious that these contests have a
value which cannot be measured in terms of
prizes, and that those who failed to receive
awards were amply repaid by their contribu-
ton to the progress Of agriculture in their Sec

Washington, April 26.-The row
in the D. A. r. over its state black
lists of nationally known persons
designated as radicals" has en-
phasized the fact that the good old
cry Of "bols.levik" at men and wom-
en- not entirely satisfied with the
existing order of things isn't quite
as effective as it used to be.
One hears the word less and less.
For awhile it was one of the most
terrible epithets in the language,
but it was SO worked to death that
in these days its use generally
brings a laugh.
Washington has had its "bol-
sheviks," but most of them are now
again recognized as good American
citizens. Among those who have
been attacked by various interested
persons or organizations &. "bol-
.shevistic" or "communistic" are
Senators Borah Of Idaho, Shipstead
of Minnesota, Wheeler Of Montana,
LaFollette of Wisconsin,, Norris of
Nebraska, Frazier of North Dakota
and Brookhart of Iowa. All are Re-
publicans except Wheeler.
For some reason or other, Grace
Abbott and Julia Lathrop, the
present and formev heads Of the
governments Children's Bureau,
have also been held up as agents of
Moscow or something of the sort.
So has jeanette Rankin of Mon
tana, the first congresswoman, who
is now vice che. IMAM of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union, an organ
ization formed to preserve the right
of free speech.
William Green, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, also
has been an object of thu anti
bolshevist attack, along with Will
liam H. Johnston OF the Interna.
tional Association of Machinists.
Labor leaders have often flung the
term Communist" at each other in
fights for union control, but the
A. F. of L. has repeatedly proved
its conservative tendencies.
There is evidence that some per-
sons for awhile made easy money
by forming patriotic societies whose
business it was to keep members in

the activities of the "reds" in Amer

At the Movies
ELTINGE THEATRE

Any one who has tie impression
that polo is a nice, ladylike game
invented by rich mems sons to while
away lazy afternoon, is urged to
see 1.-The Smart Set" which comes
to the Eltinge for Friday and Sat-
urday.
AS played by William Haines, the
game is a sort Of cross between a
free-for-all horse and man fight and
q cross-country fox hunt.
Haines has accomplished athletic
stunts before, but never anything
like this. From the time the whistle
blows for the start of the game un-
til he and his spotted pony careen
wildly down the field to victory, the
game is all game.
The story, as all fine comedy
should, contains its bit Of pathos
In fact, it has everything-thrilling
sport, gorgeous love scenes and rib
tickling comedy.
Jack Holt, Hobart Bosworth,
Alice Day and Julia Swayne Cor
don are others in the cast. News
pictures and the comedy "Angel
Eyes" with Big Boy, the juvenile
comedian are also on the program.

row candidate Tor the job that
has filled his dreams for 20 years
the presidency.
He is Frank o. Lowden Of Illinois,
who was born in Minnesota and
reared in Iowa. He is 81 years old
now and, if elected, would be we'll
past 68 when he entered the White
House. But age has rested lightly
upon him. Gray-haired, blue-eyed,
firm-jawed, well-built, he is as TO-
bust and as active today as a man
20 years his junior.
This year marks his second effort
to get the presidential nomination.
In 1920 he campaigned as bust
ness mans candidate and failed. In
1928 he seeks the nomination as
the farmers candidate.
A resolute singleness Of purpose
has marked Lowden's career ever
since he set his eye on the presi-
dency.
Refuses Vice Presidency
At Cleveland in 1924, after the
Republican National Convention had
gone through the formality Of NOM
mating Coolidge for another term,
the party offered Lowden the vice
presidential nomination on silver
platter. Everybody realized that
the Republican nomination was tan
tamount to election that year, but
Lowden refused to accept it.
"They denied mo the presidency
in 1920 and / will not accept it now
by walking slowly behind the hearse
of some other man." LowLen said.
He wanted to be president-or
nothing at all.
Like Banquo's ghost, the sensa-
tional disclosures in 1920 that Low
den's agents were spending huge
sums to "buy" the votes of conven-
ton delegates-particularly those
from the crucial border states and
the negro delegates from the south
have returned to haunt him after
eight years.
Lowden's friends say the money
was so spent without Lowden's
knowledge. They attribute it ia
over-zealousness on the part of
Louis L. Emmerson, recently nom-
mated for governor Of Illinois, who
was the disbursing agent for Low
dcn's pre-convention campaign. At
any rate, the story was brought cut
by q senate committee headed by
Senator Borah. Lowdcn forces al.
mitted having spent $4,000 in Mis-.
souri, alone. Lowden repudiated the
delegates involved.
