power many incumbent state officials
who had been considered unbeatable.
It is true that conditions which he
did not cause and over which he had
no control aided materially in this
effort, but to him and his youthful
associates on the Nonpartisan execu-
tive committee has gone major share
Of the glory.
To them. also, went major share
Of the political power which accrued
to the faction as the result of the
election. The executive committee
controls the party machinery and
there are indications that it will have
a major share in formulating the
Nonpartisan policies and program.
The fact that candidates referred to
it the recent proposals to initiate a
number of measures indicates the re-
spect which the Nonpartisan execu-
tive committee receives from the
men who stand in the political
limelight. The committees rejection
Of the proposals and Nystul's subse-
quent statement explaining the &C
ton. are a clear indication of desire
to hold to established ways Of pro-
cedure and an unwillingness to accept
unusual methods.
The fact that the Fargoan is a
businessman should be an advantage
TO the Republicans in the fall cam
paign. His action in rejecting the
initiative proposal probably will fur
Their strengthen the bond between
city and country which seems to be
developing as the result of the recent
election and city support for the dol
lar wheat movement as originated at
Tolna.
Nystul and his cohorts have been
active in promoting this attitude. It
is expected that they will carry it
into the legislature, which will be
dominated by their faction regardless
of the outcome of the fall election for
state offices.
They realize that the fall campaign
is not yet won, that the Democrats
offer real opposition this year. They
are unwilling to rock the boat now
and the brief history of this new group
gives reason to believe they will work
to keep it from overturning in the
future.
The fall campaign gives opportunity
for both Republicans and Democrats
to develop new issues and to DEM
onstrate intelligent progressiv S m.
Whichever party goes farthest along
these lines will win the support of
the electorate. The Democrats are
yet to be heard from, but in the Wig
orous group of young Republicans led
by Nystul they appear to have foe
men worthy of their steel.

THE SHAG AT EVE

THE SHAG AT EVE
New York, Aug. quite enough
has been said of the tickle aspects OF
fame. Still, I find it difficult to re-
strain this one additional instance.
When the convention of dancing
teachers opened at the Hotel New
Yorker recently, announcement was
made that the Indy hop remained
an outstanding ballroom dance. Dur
ing the several days which elapsed,
someone must have gone over the
more recent dispatches. Toward the
final session the statements read that
the Earhart hop would be 1.-The thing
At any rate, cigars are no longer
named after stage folk!
X X X
Speaking of the new dances re-
minds me that when the boy friend
announces that he's going to a 'shag
party" you don't need to investigate
his breath. He doesn't mean stag.
This winter the shay at eve Will
have it's fill. The teachers have de-
cided upon the shay as one OF the
favored dances. I'm told that it's a
mild form of tango and an improve
ment on the shuttle. Well, the mlldel
the better, so far as am concerned
Yours truly in tango is fair imi-

Difficulties at Ottawa
New York Tines

There was sure to be wealth of
! proposals at the Ottawa conference.
Union upon them will be hard to at
tain. The United States, having
slammed the door in Canadas face,
can't complain of any Canadian re-
| turns Of the courtesy. Canada, too,
Is looking out for Number One So
is Great Britain. So is the rest of
the family. How are these various
Number Ones to be reconciled, in
duced to give enough and not to try
| to take too much? The chief of the
Australian delegation demanded from
Great Britain preferential treat
ment Of Australian foodstuffs that
would interfere seriously with the en-
try of Argentine meats and Danish
dairy products. Great Britain was
thus asked to sacrifice two of her best
customers, in the country of one of
! which she has enormous investments.
Mark, too. that Australia, like the
other Dominions, seeks industrial self
sufficiency and is bound to protect
her manufactures. Canada'S case in
| this respect Is the strongest. Is it to
be expected that Prime Minister Ben
nett, himself a businessman, will make
concessions to British manufactures
at the expense of the Canadian? Will
Great Britain consent to the steep
jacking-up of Empire content re-
CURED in imported goods receiving
preference rates? There is a multi
plicity of causes of division not only
between the Dominions and the
mother country but between Domin-
ions. 1t is superfluous to nourish
fears about the deleterious designs on
American trade said to be contem-
plated at Ottawa. So far as Canada
is concerned, 1t is enough to remem-
Der that more than half her foreign
trade and three-fifths of her foreign
investments are with the United
States. Could any agreement, if one
could be made, check or divert the
natural course of trade between the
two countries? Geography would seem
to have settled that.
One Of the trade questions to be
discussed at Ottawa Is the interpre-
tation Of the most favored nation"
clause. In The Times the other day
Sir Arthur Salter wrote of the "op-
portunities Of concluding reciprocal
agreements for new tariffs" Such
agreements
would mean departure from the
principle Of the most favored ma
ton" clause, but exceptions to
that clause have now, believe,
become inevitable.
Not long ago the Argentine ambas-
sAdor sought to negotiate reciprocal
trade agreement at Warrington and
was told that 1t couldn't be done. In
q world Of tariffs these reciprocal
trade agreements may be the easiest
opening of tariff walls. The United
States government would do well to
get over its modern superstition and
return to the earlier doctrine.

A BIT OF COLON PHYSIOLOGY

The correspondent has Scottish
