MELLON MACHINE
PICKED SENATOR
FOR DUpE CAME
Betrayal of Farmers
His Job

KANSAS. CITY, June 5.-Follow-
ing the juggernaut triumph Of the
Wall Street Coolidge machine in the
nomination Of Herbert Hoover for
president Of the United States, the
task of the machine was completed
yesterday with the naming for the
vice-presidency Of Charles Curtis OF
Kansas.
AS the scenes unfolded on the stage
of this big hall it became clear that
Curtis has been the nominee for vice
presindency picked out by the Mellon
machine some time ago, and that the
task of Curtis has been to hold at all
cost the following and the faith of as
large as possible portion Of the dis
contended farm elements and small
town capitalists which have been
milling around the convention with
anti-Hoover sentiments.
Curtis, whose leadership Of the farm
insurgency, had for it's sole purpose
the control, and not the development.
of the demands of the farmers, has
received his reward at the hands of
the grateful politicians, by whom he
is now acclaimed as saviour.
Nominated by Senator Borah, self
styled progressive who as usual was
drafted to turn the party's shrewdest
trick, Curtis received the unanimous
nomination of the republican delegates
whipped into order by the machine
leaders.
Curtis is Mississippi valley man
and it is the hope of the republican
bosses that he may stem the threaten
ing detection from the party ranks
in the farming sections of the country

A great picture and great cast, that has been the honest, enthusias- tic verdict of everyone who has seen Ben Hur" which is coming to The Palace theater on Wednesday and Thursday.
 Ben Hur" the Metro Goldwyn Mayer picture, owes its popular suc- cess not only to the grandeur of its spectacle and the absorbing nature of it's action but likewise to the love story of Ben Hur and Esther and the other love motif 'twixt mother and son which is brought powerfully to the fore through the many years of separation Of Ben Hur and his parent by the Romans who con- demned him to the galleys and his womenfolk to forgotten dungeon.
