Big Ten Title
To Be Decided
Uy United Press Leased Wire

IOWA CITY, Nov. 17.-Wcathcr
conditions, as much as the relative
abilities of the two teams, will have
an important bearing on today $
big ten championship battle be-
tween Iowa and Wisconsin, at Iowa
Stadium. a soggy field appeared
likely to give the IIawkcycs the
advantage.
Wisconsin, boasting the strongest
aerial game of any conference team,
had hoped for a fast, dry field,
while the Hawks, who rely mainly
on powerful running game, wei
coined the rain.
The game seems certain to decide
the big ten championship as the
rival contcndcrs are the only unde-
feated teams in the loop.

tions meet at the Coliseum here to-
day.
Providing Stanford takes its an
nual contest with California the
winners of the Trojan Cougar con

championship honors.
Despite the probable abseLce of
Don Williams, Southern California
is favored slightly to win over the
northern eleven. The odds are based
on the respective records of the
rival teams.
Marshall Dufficld probably will
start at Williams quarterback slot
with the possibility that Russ
Saunders will fill in at the position
if the going gets rough.
Coach lIollingsbcry sent his
Cougars through light workout at
the Coliseum yesterday afternoon
and then returned his charges to
Pasadena where they. will remain
until just before game time.
A half a dozen other important
contests are scheduled for Southern
California.

INSULT Be GAN
PROPAGANDA
ON POWER

A giant holding corporation. the
Electric Bond and Share Company,
working with Samuel insult. Chi
cago public utilities magnate. formed
the real driving force behind the
power trust propaganda.
The evidence before the Federal
Trade Commission shows q trail
leading directly to the door of these
two representatives of massed mill
lions in the fight to throttle hostile
public opinion and to check the
growing movement for public owner
ship of the utilities.
insult was responsible for starting
the first state propaganda bureau.
being alarmed about the bad state
of public opinion with reference to
the power company.
"a Other Bureaus
"Get busy and do something" he
told his aides. Twenty-seven other
bureaus have been modelled on the
one which insult created in his
home State of Illinois.
In the power lobby the insult
group is dominant, so far as con.
tributions are concerned, with the
Electric Bond and Share Company
closely following.
The actual directors of the lobby,
however, are Eastern men, includ-
ing George b. Cortelyou. president
of the Consolidated Gas Company
OF New York. and p. ii. Gadsden,
of Philadelphia, chairman of Its
executive committee.
Harry G. Abel and T.. A. Kenny
were the spokesman for the Elec-
trio Bond and Share Company.
Abel Is a director of the National
Electric Light Association, and
Kenny Is chairman of the infornna-
ton bureau organization of the
light association.
Textbook Censorship
The textbook censorship else
has had its origin traced back to
insult, although it was j. B.
Sheridan, of Missouri, who brought
it to it's highest efficiency.
There is evidence at hand to
show that the power interests,
alarmed at the exposures before
the Federal Trade Commission, are
getting ready to abandon this fea-
ture of their propaganda, at least
temporarily.
