that there was rift in the ranks of
the senate progressives due to Lom-
men having apparently stepped upon
the toes of his party colleagues" The
implication was that Lommens had as
sumed a position of leadership with
out having been chosen to serve in
that capacity by his colleagues.
PrOgressives Back LOmmen.
But if the conservatives of the SEN
ate figured that they had put Lommen
out of the picture they misjudged the
situation badly. No sooner had copies
of the issue of the Herald containing
the rift" story been placed upon the
senator's desks, than several Farmer
Labor members got together with
LOmmen and suggested that the
Herald article be answered. The up
shot of it was that IL senators, in
Guiding Lieutenant Governor Henry
Arens, signed joint letter addressed
to the Herald criticizing the attack
that had been made upon Mr.. Lom-
men.
$50 far as we know there is no rift
in the Farmer-LabOr ranks in the
senate" say the FL. group. "Sen-
ator Lommen has not been the least
bit presumptuous and has not made
any move that he has not been asked
to make by the party leaders. 1t oc-
ours to us that some malicious person
| is trying to belittle him in the eyes
| of the people.
I'VE regard him as the greatest
proponent Of the cause of the common
people that comes from the Iron
Range country. Range people would
| do well to listen to and counsel with
him. He is held in high regard by
his party associates here in the SEN
| ate"
The Duluth Herald gave publicity
| to the letter from Arens and the SEN
ators Those signing the letter were
Lieutenant Governor Arens, Senators
Bridgeman, Schmechel, Hausler, Sic
gel, Victor Lawson, Romberg, Pulitzer
N. A. Peterson, Mccormack, Sprung
Buckler and Regnier.
Advocate Compliments Olson.
The Minnesota Union Advocate, or.
gan of the st. Paul Trades and Labor
assembly, and one of the most con
sistent supporters of the Farmer-La
Dor movement in Minnesota, compli
ments Olson upon his splendid mes
sage to the legislature.
1.-The platform of the Farmer-Labol
, party has been criticized as not bein,
fundamental enough" states the Uniol
Advocate. During the campaign Re
publican nominees called attention t.
this fact The Farmer-LabOr part.
has always endeavored to adhere t.
practical lines of action and propose
. measures that can be translated int
bills. Governor Olson has in his mes
, sage urged consideration of thes
measures. 1t is now matter TO
legislative action and it is hoped tina
Farmer-Labor representatives in tn
! house and senate will see that op
, portunity be given for concrete &C

oblivion, or remain in Washington
seeking odd jobs for their imaginary
influence with the government or
the legislative body. Sometimes it
is their families who insist that
lame ducks" should stay in Wash

atively good social standing. 1t takes
real courage for a defeated politician
to return to the home folks after he
has been repudiated at the polls with
the mot wanted" sign.

lied by the state legislature to sup

reservoir lakes in Minnesota. This
is done in the interest Of protecting
wild life and maintaining and promot-
ing Minnesota as a summer resort.
Representative John B. Hompe OF
Deer Creek, the only Civil war veter-
an sitting in legislative body in the
United States this year, was called
to the rostrum of the House by Speak
err Oscar A. Swenson Friday to pre-
side over the committee of the whole.
The entire membership of the House
rose in respect for him as he made
his way to the chair.
Sales Tax Waning.
There has been for some months
considerable talk of a sales tax out
over the state. To many 1t Is con-
sidered a nuisance and another means
of passing more taxation on to those
who are already overburdened with
taxes. Governor Floyd B. Olson has
come out flatly against sales tax,
which likely spells it death knell in
this session. The governor said: Il
am definitely opposed to the sales tax
on the ground that it is not only a
nuisance, but there are not many left
able to pay it. 1t has not been sue
cessful in any other communities
where it has been applied, and there
is no reason for assuming that it will
be here"
Governor Olson's request that the
State Senate return to his desk the
119 recess appointments left ovel
from the administration of Theodore
Christensen has caused much tall
and commotion. No one expects tina
Governor Olson wants to discharge al
of the 119 who have been appointed
to commissions, department heads
and other positions of the state since
the last legislature met, but it is yer!
likely and evident that the governor
wants to make a few changes. 1t il
only natural that he wants men il
important positions that will rende
their best cooperation to the admin
, istration and help carry through tn
, policies being inaugurated by the ne1
governor. Governor Olson is, an
| should be, more interested in carry
ing through his own program whic
has had the endorsement of the peopl
rather than the Minnesota plan" o
some otter plan that has been dis
carded and forgotten long ago.

shrewdness Of hers, and it would be I'M
bearable which wouldn't mat
ter, because everything else was unbear-
able. too.
She got through the day somehow,
going doggedly through one duty after
another. There would be something to
do with the evening. at least. The
monthly meeting of the motion picture
group was to be that night in Doris
fathers ball room.
Helen dressed herself YEARLY, brushed
out her dark, gold curls. pulled her hat
down on them without looking and went
there. There was no sensation to it..
There didn't seem to be anything.
Not even when Doris ran up to her,
bright-eyed, excited happy, and flung
her arms around her and whispered to
her about Ronny.
"Oh, he's been such darling! We're
going to take a little room over in
Wayne beginning next Monday she
impaired in a joyous, hurrying whisper,
as soon as Ronny's weeks up and he
has his wages. Don't tell yet! Oh. it's
going to be wonderful to get away from
Aunt Louisa!"
Don't tell" Helen echoed indig-
nantly. Her whole life's happiness had
been sacrificed to Doris SenSeless Sc
crecy And then she checked her
self What happened now made no diff
ference, not even when Ethan learned
that he had been in the wrong
She had been so deep in thought sit
ting in a corner of the room staring
before her, that she was spoken to twice
before she looked up.
Helen, Tommy Delamater wants TO
speak to you-wake up"
Tommy! Tommy as self-consciously
debonair as ever; Tommy, pleasantly
aware Of all the watching eyes, making
a flourish out of his greeting.

! Helen sat up, furious at Lester.
| Then she looked at the other letter,
! the one Mrs. Birch had handed her
with JeSsica's. Testers hand.
| Testers letter was typed, as always,
in spite of his tragic abandonment of
his wife. JeSsica, in the name of the
| twins. had felt that money was less
of an object than ever. Nothing he
said had done any good-f1nally he
had warned Jessica that if she didn't
stop he would take a position In
another town, leave her where she was
with an allowance and forbid the
tradesmen to run up bills. Jessica
had. of course, paid no attention to
! what he said; she had only laughed
and kissed him and gone on spending,
secure in his alteration. And the worm
had turned.
She would go next day .. No
Not till the day after. When
| Mrs. Kingsway paid her. There was
a certain amount of comfort in going
| from Kingsway. away from Ethan ana
his love that she couldn't accept With
out humiliation. She packed furiouSly.
There was a train from Philadelphia
that she could get at IL next day. she
and Jessica would settle down together
and live for the twins and never think
about men any more.
She had not thought she would fall
asleep that night. but she did. She SAID
a little prayer to have some help ana
comfort, and presently 1t seemed TO
come. Enough to sleep, at least.
She supposed she ought to go to
Kingsway, after all, next morning 10
settle her departure.
She did not have to decide about 1t,
for 1t was scarcely o'clock when Mrs.
KingsWays own closed sedan came to
the door
Helen ran down and was inside the
car in moment, her arms around Ada,
nearer crying than she liked.

Mrs. Kingsway said going to the point
without preface. What is all this be-
tween you two children?"
Helen told her.

to now the childs been monument of

goes with KingsWay temperament, that
dreadful jealousy. I did hope your

Strengthened out that kink in Ethan.
But Nina was such a cat. Ethan says
Nina told him that Tommy was back,
and disengaged and, she supposed in

oh never! 1 was preoccupied about
getting off, so don't know what I did
say! But never that. Honestly, dear
Mrs. Kingsway, I had forgotten all
about Tommys return. AS for the rest
we'll, I've given my word not to tell
why I had to go to see Ronny, but it
really was serious and it wasn't for my
self . You believe me. don't you?"
"Of course. 1 believe you, child! {. :.
If you weren't so young you'd know
that you can't pay much attention TO
what men say. They're just little boys
and you have to deal with them as If
they hadn't any sense" said Mrs. Kings
way briskly.
Mrs. Kingsway kissed her and drove
of smiling.

old-fashioned picnic tomorrow? The

His voice had slipped to the old, coax
ing small-boy note.
She stared at him, amazed. and a
little shocked Suddenly she
remembered that she did not belong to
Ethan any more There was no
reason in the world why she shouldn't
go picnicking with Tommy. 1t would

Preparatory to moving into

held a highly successful re-
moval used-car sale. And no
doubt you have heard some of
your friends tell of the splen-
did values that came their way
while this big sale was in prog
ress.
Now, we have still further
pleasing news for you.
Due to the ever-increasing
popularity of the Greater Hud-

s,ortment of reoonditioned cars
with many thousands of miles
of safe, economical and COM
Portable transportation left in

a quick loss is a gain. There
fore, we have determined to put

swallow our losses with
smile. And, remember, as great
as were the bargains that we
offered to our public in the
previous sale, the values that
we now have for you are in
fnitely greater.
OUR PLAN Is THIS:
Beginning August 10th, and
lasting for ten days, we will
give

our sales room under its own
power, TO apply against a sale

only too frequently happens in
the charmed circle of the used
car vender. The House of Con-
hdence ever places its cards
face up with its public. And
our terms-AS LOW AS 81
WEEKLY-cannot help but
please you.
So, Mr.. Used-Car Buyer, il
you are yacation-bent, here is
your chance to visit the great
open spaces, the mountains and
the Seashore, at a mere song
for transportation cost. And
if you are not vacation bent,

urable week end trips.
