Just before the convention met
Illinois big delegation of So

the bulk Of its strength on the

The significant thing about it
was the announcement that the

This indicated a second ballot

fide World War veterans.
States Aims
The B. E. F. dictator-com-
mander denied he had any revolu-
tionary motive in view but said:
-"My aim is to SOlidify the
Ward War veterans. AS for
the men encamped here,
think it will be best for their
health that they take such
exercise. As for the others
throughout the United States,
they will augment our force
and show to the world that the
veterans intend to present a
solid 'front.'"
Waters declared that he was
going to have $4,000 well-drilled
men in Washington and that all
units of the B. E. F. would be
subject to his call in a national
emergency.
The dictator r-commander barred
firearms, saying the men must
drill with sticks. If a single fire.
arm is found in any camp, he said,
he would order his military police
to act.
Waters issued orders telling the
men to continue their button

Senators and also issued a decree
that there would be no more
panhandling
Announcement was also made
from national headquarters that

Food is coming from many
loads of it--but

About rs men arrived today

to be within a days march of
Washington. Only two men ap.

REPUBLICANS
HEAR BROWN
State Auditor Stafford King, Treas.

son and Others on Program.

The Republican rally held in the
armOry and banquet in Hotel Agnes
in Pine City Friday evening, June II,
to advance the candidacy of Earle
Brown for governor were we'll at
tended with an estimated number Of
about 125 at the banquet and 700 at
the rally. The crowd was made up
Of people from Pine City, Sandstone,
Hinckley, Braham, North Branch and
other sections. Albert Johnson of
Sandstone, county Republican COM
mittee chairman, assisted by Mrs.
Ema Gum Perkins, presided at the
meeting.
Among those who spoke were Stat
ford King, state auditor. and candi-
date for reelection, Oscar Swenson,
speaker Of the house in the 1881 leg
islature and now candidate for rail-
road and warehouse commissioner,
Julius Schmahl, state treasurer, and
Earle Brown. Senator Larson Of
Sandstone, introduced Mr.. Swenson
and Mr.. Gillespie of Cambridge, intro
duced Mr.. Brown. L. A. Rossman,
Grand Rapids editor, also spoke
briefly. Mrs. E. B. Linsley of Will
low River, was one of the hOnored
ones on the speakers platform.
When Stafford King came to the
platform he was given a loud ovation
as striking evidence of his popularity
as an ex-service man and a Legion
naire. Mr.. King in his speech at
tackled Governor OlsOn's administra-
ton. He eulogized Brown and en-
phasized the fact that Mr.. Brown was
a farmer and knew the farm He
stated that Mr.. Browns hobby was
horses and that he owned four thor
oughbred mares, four colts and stall
lion, and in answer to the charge
made by Tom Davis that Mr.. Brown
lodged taxes on these animals, stated
that they were assessed at $50 90 each,
much higher figure than ordinary
horses are assessed at.
Julius Schmahl was introduced by
Mrs. Perkins. He began his speech by
saying that twenty-six years ago when
young man he was nominated in a
otoIC 1NOPuOIICdu SOliNCHlIOIl IOI SCC-
rotary of state and he recalled that
Pine county had cast a unanimous
ballot for him in that convention. He
also praised President Hoover for his
leadership, and said that he believed
that Mr.. Hoover had sat in the White
House in more troublous times than
Lincoln had seen during the Civil
war. He also INDUCED in a denunci-
alton of Governor Olson, criticizing
his appointments, etc. Mr. Schmahl
gave the crowd a sample of fiery ora
tory which it seemed to like and his
gestures endangered the frail speak
er's stand and water glasses placed
thereon.
DR.. H. P. Dredge of Sandstone, was
called to the platform and read tele-
grams from Henry Rines, Harold
Knutson and Congressman G. G. Good

GrOningen Pair
Married IS Years

Mr.. and Mrs. William Ziegler were
pleasantly surprised Sunday evening
at their farm home west of Gronin-
gen, when neighbors and friends for
miles around came to remind them
of their 36th wedding anniversary
and it was accordingly celebrated in
good old fashioned style.
Mr. and Mrs. Ziegler were married
at Orange City, Iowa, June 10, 1896.
They have two sons, Fred j. and
Louis, and one daughter, Tillie Mrs.
Guy Garner), all living in the COM
munity. In March, 1902, the family.
(also Mr. Ziegler's two brothers, Fred
and Martin), moved to their present
homes. They are Industrious citizens
and have fine homes. The many pres
ent on the occasion, a rainy night,
bore testimony to the high esteem in
which they are held by everybody.
The evening was spent in dancing
and visiting with the pioneer settlers
present. Gottfried Album furnished
the music and VIM. H. Barnick was
master of ceremonies. A fine lunch
was served to all at midnight. Mr..
and Mrs. Ziegler were presented with
a purse of money with which to buy
a present to remember the occasion.

first point was that he did not intend
to indulge in personalities during the
campaign, but instead to stick to is
sues. He replaced the water glass
and pitcher on the stand, as they had
been removed while Mr.. Schmahl was
speaking, and remarked that since
Schmahl had finished talking, the fur
niture was safe. Mr.. Brown stated
that very little money was to be used
in the campaign, for since the public
was demanding economy in govern
ment, he believes it also wanted econ
omy in the campaign. He said that
he intended to accept no money dur
ing the campaign that might en-
barass him as governor, if he were
elected.
Following Mr.. Browns speech, Mrs.
Brown was presented to the audi
ence and received a round of ap-
plause.
The Sandstone band furnished
music for the occasion.

SETTLE 1T WITHOUT GUNS

After witnessing the Sharkey-
Schmeling tango down in New York
the other night, Bruce Barton, writer,
publicist and author, suggests that
boxing replace war. He goes way
back in history and reminds us OF
the time when the armies of the
Philistines and the Israelites were
about to murder one another when
the big Goliath stepped forward and
said: What is the sense of this?
Why don't we settle this whole thing
by a prize fight? | will fight your
best man." WhereupOn young
Israelite named David stepped for
ward and hit Goliath in the head,
and the war was over.
Mr.. Barton also reminds us of the
difficulties between the French and
Germans regarding Alsace Lorraine.
Why don't they devote their energies
to raising some good Schmelings and
Carpenters? If Carpenter beat
Schmeling, then Alsace Lorraine
would hang up French signs on the
street corners. A couple of years
later Schmeling might beat Carpen-
tier. and Alsace-Lorraine would go
Dutch again. But business would GO
on as usual.
Two years ago Schmeling won the
championship on a foul when fight
ing with Sharkey. This time Sharkey
won in retreat. So now it is about
an even break and thus friendly and
diplomatic relations are maintained
between the two countries.

BANKS MUST KEEP
TAB UPON CHECKS
AND COLLECT TAX

Collection of the new 2-cent tax on
checks, drafts and similar instru-
ments which went into effect on June
81, will cause no inconvenience to
bank depOsitors of the country, but
will be handled entirely by the banks.
The banks would pay the tax to the
treasury at the end of each month.
During the period, the banks will
keep count of the number of checks
drawn by each depositor and at the
end of the month enter the charge
against his account and enclose a

The contest for nine nominees in
each of the three parties for congress
is still undecided except for the lead
ers in the groups. AS was expected
those with statewide acquaintance
forged way ahead as for instance for
mer Governors Christianson and
