JOIN THE FARM BUREAU

MEMBERS of the Imperial County
Hi Farm Bureau are at present engaged
IN a campaign among Ell Centro's bus
inessmen, asking them to join the farm
organization.
The movement is endorsed by the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce, which
has at all times been interested in the
welfare of the rural sections adjacent to
this city, and members of the chamber
are urged to join the farm organization.
1t Is hardly necessary to point out to
the thinking businessman that the work
of the farm bureau is closely connected
with his own prosperity.
The farm bureau serves the rural res
ident as the chamber of commerce does
the city man. In working for the well
fare of the farmer it is also aiding the
businessman. As the latter benefits di-
rectly and indirectly from the prosperity
of the farmer it is only fair that he
should support the farmers organiza-
ton.
The work of the farm bureau is con-
structive and those who guide its destiny
have at all times worked to keep it free
from entangling alliances. While en-
couraging its members as individuals to
take a lively interest in political matters,
the farm bureau as an organization has
''eeieu ciedl VI poiIIIcS dS 1he teIlu Is
generally used.
Interests of the city businessman and
the farmer are closely allied. Each needs
the other and the best results for both
can only be obtained by mutual cooper
alton.
Businessmen who are solicited to Join
the farm bureau should not feel that
they are being asked to join something
that is of no interest or value to them.
They need the work which the farm bu-
reau is doing and the farm bureau needs
their cooperation and support.

dress delivered by Judge Manley
Fosseen, judge of the Hennepin

Whisky Jones Is
Chief Witness In
McTague Trial
CHIEF WITNESSES IN McTAGUE
CASE

Two of the principal witnesses in
the celebrated McTague case now be-
ing tried in the Hennepin county dis
trict court are John whisky" Jones,
703 Oak Lake avenue north, and
Charles Strawder, $40 Lyndale Place.
John McTague, white, the defendant,
is being tried on first degree arson
charge accused of setting fire to
buildings at 600-602-604 Seventh ave-
nue. north on the morning of Janu-
airy 10Th.
1t was Jones whose quick eye
noticed man on this particular morn
ing coming out of an alley in the
rear of the fired building with two
cans in his hands. Jones noticed that
the man placed the cans in the rear
of car and drove over into an oil
station. Immediately after an ex-
plosion occurred and Jones reported
the suspicious actions of the man to
policemen in q squad car@wh9e came
up in answer to the fire 4aif. Cans
in the car, police discovered, smelled
of gasoline and turpentine. Jones
testified to all of this in district court,
Tuesday, but failed to positively
identify McTague as the man he saw
come out of the alley. Despite his
failure to identify McTague COM
pletely his testimony is the principal
weapon by which the prosecution in
tends to convict McTague. Strawder,
the other witness, told of being with
Jones, separating from him at Sew
enth avenue and hearing the explo=
sion as he walked down Sixth avenue.
He ran back to notify occupants Of
houses nearby the fire and came up
just as the officers were arresting a
man whom he failed to positively
identify as McTague.
The trial being held in Judge Lars
Rue's court is attracting the atten-
ton of the Northwest. A battery of
high powered criminal case lawyers
headed by Ernest Carey is defending
McTague and w. G. Compton, ace Of
the county attorneys office, heads the
prosecution.

St. Thomas Church
Eleven Defeats
Wheatley Team
MAROON AND GRAY STOPS
PHYLLIS WHEATLEY,
1870


Led by William Small, st. Thomas
fullback, the Maroon and Gray team
marched down the gridiron last Sat-
urday afternoon and swept the over
confident Wheatley team down to a
1870 defeat.
From the opening kickoff until the
ending of the half; the ball was in
Wheatley's territory. Several times
the ball was on the ten or fifteen yard
line but St. Thomas couldn't get it
over. Phyllis Wheatley showed up
bad on their defense and twice in
their own territory in the first quar-
ter they were thrown for heavy
losses.
No Scoring; Small Stars
The first and. second quarter ended
with the ball in Wheatley territory.
st. Thomas had several chances to
score but had no drive to put it over.
William Small, star fullback,
"busted" up nearly all of the Wheat
ley plays and made most of the
Maroon gains.
While Small was starring for St.
Thomas, STANFORD Lot was doing
brilliant work on the defense for Phyl-
lis Wheatley, coming in fast from his
left end position. ."
st. Thomas Scores!
The third quarter opened and closed
with no scoring. The final quarter
opened and the Maroon wave from
South Minneapolis invaded Wheat
+1ey's territory and this time proved
disastrous for the Wheatley team.
On sleeper play, Small to Don
Session, Maroon end, Session galloped
fifteen yards to cross the Wheatley
goal for the first time and breaking a
90 deadlock. 1t was perfect pass
from Small. Small's try for the ex-
ira point was no good.
St. Thomas Scores Again.
Phyllis Wheatley took the ball on
the kickoff and on the first play,
Small intercepted a Wheatley pass
and raced forty yards twisting, turn
ing, and shaking off his would-be
tacklers for second touchdown. A
pass off of a fake place kick was
good, Small to Bert Lowry for the
extra point.
Score Final

was downed. The game was played

Voters Urged To
Elect Earle
Brown Governor

Not for many years, if ever, have
our citizens faced so momentous an
election. Other years have brought
divergent opinion upon many inn
portant questions of public policy.
Today there is but one issue, and
Upon it is focused the united thought
Of the entire country, all are thinking
If the depression and asking what is
20 be done about it. The voting this
fall will show very clearly what the
great mass of people think should be
done about it. Not only the answer
of the millions of the unemployed,
but as surely the answer Of the bust
ness world, whose future hangs in
evitably upon the November decision.
Curiously enough, that situation
fits in exactly with republican hopes.
Leaders of the nation, from President
Hoover on down, are quite content to
place the issue squarely upon the
shoulders of the men responsible for
present governmental policies and the
measures they have advanced, sup.
ported or rejected.
In Minnesota, where the depressing
effects of hard times are sure to be
reflected in the elections outcome, the
republicans are especially fortunate
in having a man of the caliber of
Earle Brown to offer as governor and
especially happy in the brief program
he proposes.
Sincere, honest and totally without
political ambition, drafted with diff
Guilty into the service of his party,
Mr.. Brown holds the respect of even
his political foes.
In the bitter campaign of this year,
when every record is being scruti-
nized for any possible flaw, the years
of his public service reveal only the
fact that Earle Brown is rich.
Mr.. Brown says little. But that
little is fraught with significance and
is vitality important to the welfare of
the people of this state.
Earle Brown declares that he will,
# elected, save the citizens of Min
nesota $5,000,0OO. Everyone believes,
if it be humanity possible, he will do
just that.
To the tax-burdened people of the
state, the relief that would follow a
$1,000 900 reduction in the overhead
Of Minnesota would be a very well
come event. Vote for Earle Brown
and be assured of this relief.-Henne-
pin County Political League, W. NJ.

COALITION PLAN
OFFERED IN TOXIC
Seiyukai Leaders Seek Conn.,
promise Following Army
Non-Partisan Stand.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC. May 18-Leaders of the
Seiyukai party decided today to offer
the olive branch to the army and pro-
posed compromise on a coalition party
government to succeed the cabinet of
the slain premier, Suyeshi Inukai.
The compromise proposal followed an
ultimatum from the army yesterday
demanding a non-partisan, national
government. Army officials threatened
to boycott a party government if one
was formed.
At the same time, it was indicated
that the controversy over the new cab
met would not be settled until the last
OF the week. Prince Saionji, sole sur
vivor of the powerful japanese genro,
or elder statesmen, announced that he
would not come to Toxic from his villa
at Okitsu until Thursday.
The prince is coming to advise the
Emperor on the selection of a new
premier He intended, the announce
ment said, to let the situation crystallize
further before making his decision.
The attitude of the army toward the
coalition proposal remained obscure, al
though Kaku Mori, one of the principal
Seiyukai leaders, held long conference
last night with Gen. Sadao Araki, re-
signed minister of war
Throughout yesterday, before its deci-
sion to offer a compromise, the party
had put up a strong front, in spite of
its previous internal divisions, against
the army's demands.
Home Minister Copfar4
Late this afternoon Home Minister
Kisaburo, Suzuki, president of the
Seiyukai party and in line for the
premiership, conferred with Gen. Araki
This meeting was one of several at
which political leaders of all elements
sought to solve the empires crisis.
The result of the SuZuki-Araki dis
cussion was not disclosed, but vernacu-
lar newspapers recorded a growing con-
viction that the leaders of the Seiyukai
party and of the army we're approach
ing compromise
The military faction was reported to
be less strongly opposed to a Seiyukai
cabinet or a predominantly Seiyukai
coalition. and in newspaper interviews
Mr.. Suzuki approved the measures ad-
vocated by the army for the relief of
agrarian distress, the most dangerous
source of the prevailing discomfort.
One high official of the retiring min
istry said the army leaders we're ready
to assist in the formation of a Suzuki
cabinet If the premier pledged support
for the army's economic program.
Before talking to Mr.. Suzuki, Gen.
Araki attended a war Office meeting of
the highest military authorities. Sim
ilarly, Mr. Suzuki conferred with his
party leaders.
