Poultry and Eggs
While some further seasonal adj

his son-in-law out of this campaign.

SENATOR SFIIPSTEAD IS UNIQUE
IN AMERICAN POLITICAL LIFE
MinneSotan, Without Party,
Is Dominating Figure in
Ranks of G. O.P.
Succeeds With Mississippi
Task Where Regulars"

BY WILLIAM HARD,

The unique personality of the mo-
ment in American politics is Senator
Shipstead Of Minnesota. No phenom-
enon Ike him has ever before been
reported on the national political skv.
His unexampled remarkablenesses are
at least three.
First, he has really no party at all
and yet sweepingly carries his state
Second, he calls himself a Farmer
Laborite" and yet dominates the struggle
for the nomination for United States
Senator among the Minnesota Repub-
licans. Third, he is assailed as a rad

chants and manufacturers and bank

Who Is digging the Mississippi! down

Succeeds Where Regulars Failed.
The business administration of Her.
bert Hoover could not at this time ap-
parently see quite so deep as nine feet.
1t tentatively awaited further scientific
sound1ngs by engineers. The regular
Minnesota Republicans in the House
OF Representatives could not persuade
the House to dive all the way to a con-
tinuous and completely authorized nine

bentures and for every other forward
form of agrarian progressive revolu-

Also, though, he does every possible
decent business chore for Minnesota at
Washington effectively and promptly.
He is splendid man.
Mr.. Schall, seeking denomination to
the Senate, says that IN It he has al
ways done his best to be ike Ship
stead. Mr. Christianson, desiring to
wrench Mr.. Schall's senatorial seat from
him, says in effect that he will move

He has no political party to send to
the aid of either Mr.. Schall or Mr.
Christianson. This man consists OF
Just simply, only himself. He has no
party to hold up his hands-and no
party to tie his hands. He Is the free
est man in American politics, and in
creasingly one of the most powerful
He is slow in gesture, slow in speech
tinged with a certain apparent pom
posity of manner, shiningly colored
with humor which drawls and crawls
like molasses, Infinitely deliberate, in
finitely strategic, absolutely surefooted
absolutely sincere He has an almost
Lincolnian faculty for long rumination
for matured design protracted far into
the future and for the expression OF
serious policy in whimsical parallels
He is a Norseman who Is as American

widest wings of fame and fate.

CONSOLIDATED GAS
REVENUE INCREASES
ni.natch 70 The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, March THE annual
report of the Consolidated Gas g. Elec-
trio Co. of Baltimore. issued yesterday,
showed a total net revenue for the year
of $1O,392, 70S, which was 1877 per cent
above the previous year.
After fixed charges and dividends,
$3,S59,072 was added to surplus, this
being AIS per cent larger than the 1928
surplus.
During the past year $907,249 was
spent from surplus to retire per cent
bonds, which were replaced by 4s4 per
cent bonds, the change reducing inter-
est charges by $12s,312. At the end of
the year the surplus stood at $13,357,0 oil.
The income for the year included
ST, sos, 342 from electric sales, 1902, POT
from gas and $289,521 from steam. In
1928 steam sales amounted to only
$73,794.
The company spent in expanding its
services $4,507,161 on electric proper
ties, 81 ,2S4. 606 on gas properties, $780,
SCI on steam properties and 1889 ,601 on
other properties. The company has
2l4,640 electric and l96,515 gas Gus
toners.
A reduction in gas and electric rates
occurred November and thus two
months Of the year are included In the
revenue reported. The lower rates, it
was pointed out, are expected to in
crease consumption.
