SENATOR WHEELER FILES
FOR SENATE DENOMINATION
Enters Democratic Race For q
Third Term in Upper House
of Congress.

Burton K. Wheeler, senior Unit
ed States senator from Montana,
this week filed with the secretary
of state at Helena, his petition to
succeed himself. He faces the
voters at the Democratic prlmar-
les on July 18th. The senator IN
his announcement says:
If nominated and elected I will
endeavor to serve the people OF
Montana as a whole rather than
limited groups. I shall favor a re-
covery program designed not only
to cure the present but to prevent
another such severe industrial de-
preston in the future; be vlgllant
in defense of farmers and labor
ers; persevere in my advocacy OF
bimetallism and give my best e1.
forts to deserving citizens OF small
means with the general object In
view of not only maintaining but
lettering the standards OF living
for the great mass of people. I
have asked that there be printed
after my name on the nominat-
ing ballot the following words:
For Roosevelt; for bimetallism;
for recovery but with necessary
reforms"
Senator Wheeler was elected at
the age Of forty to the senate in
1922 and reelected in 1928. He
Jumped into the national spot
light almost at nee by exposing
one of the ugliest scandals In
political history, a scandal that
ended in driving three cabinet
members to private life and one
to prison, and placed again under
federal control the famous Teapot
Dome and Elk Hill oil reserves. He
is classed with the progressive
forces in the senate and has been
vigilant in supporting all legisla-
ton affecting the rights of labor.
His most spectacular perform
ance in recent years was the fight
made to remonetize silver. De-
| Scribed as the most remarkable
phenomenon in American politics,
this issue was believed to have

feat of William Jennings Bryan.
For the first time in forty years a
vote was taken in January, 1888,
on a proposal of Senator Wheeler,
then called by many eastern
newspapers the successor to the
Great Commoner", but the meas
ure was rejected by the over
whelming score of 10 to Sc. I'm
daunted. Wheeler went on the
radio and in April, 1888, three
months after the first vote, he
again put forth his silver proposal
and this time the vote was 80 to
48. On the third attempt, the re-
suit was 43 to As and if pairs are
included At to 40. AS this is writ

ed by the press to have agreed to
silver legislation that will call for
a rs to IS ratio with gold and
present indications are that the
measure will become law before
the session adjourns.

HOLLY SUGAR COMPANY
PAYS DIVIDEND OF $1.75
Report Net Profit Of Sl,O44, 564
Last Year, More Than Double
That of Year Ago.

Despite tremendous deductions
for loss on securities, farm proper
ties and lime quarries, and a re-
duction of abandoned plant and
idle properties to salvage value.
the Holly Sugar corporation in the
year ended March 81, 1884, had
net profit of $1,044,564, against
1921 ,230 the previous year, the an
nual report disclosed Friday, says
the Denver Post OF May Is.
As forecast in The Post last
Sunday, the corporation announc-
ed a dividend of SITS per share,
payable Aug. l to preferred stock
holders of record July IS. 1t was
the first dividend since August,
1880.
If equally favorable conditions
continue for the next two years."
President Wiley Blair, Jr., reported
to the stockholders, lit is believed
that all dividends in arrears can
be paid within that time. Until
these dividends have been paid
the company cannot retire pre-
ferred stock thru the sinking
fund"
The deductions, which were
made for the first time during the
last fiscal year, follow; Securities
to market or nominal value.
$l3s, 1895. 40; farm properties and
lime quarries to realizable value,
$435, 563 SO; abandoned plant and
idle properties to salvage values.
$698 ,317.22. This made total de-
auctions, 81, 273 ,276.57.
President Blair was optimistic
on the sugar industry situation.
Enactment of the Jones-Costi-
gan sugar BILL" said he, has put
an end to a years uncertainty as
to the governments plans for the
domestic sugar industry. BY limit
ing the amount of sugar that can
be sold in the United States,
prices will be stabilized at a level
which should enable both produc-
ers and professors to make reas-
enable profits"
Announcement was made that
the Santa Ana Sugar company a
California corporation, 10 per cent
of whose stock was owned by
Holly, has been dissolved and its
assets distributed to its stock
holders. From such distribution,
Holly received, in cash, a dividend
of $62,695 out of earned surplus
and a liquidation dividend of
$97,248, the latter of which has
been used to retire bonds in &C
cordance with terms of the mort
gage. The Holly company, Presi-

dent Blair announced, has also
received 70 per cent of the land
and other assets of Santa Ana
Sugar company. The dissolution
was held desirable to simplify the
corporate structure of Holly Sugar.
President Blair reported produc-
ton of refined sugar during the
year amounted to 4,317,227 bags of
100 pounds each, an increase of
907, 209 bags or 26.6 per cent over
the previous year.
The consolidated balance sheet
of Holly Sugar corporation and
subsidiaries as of March 81, 1884,
showed current assets of S10,163,-

Since this installment of Inter-

to 12,447 for Floyd Olson, and 1926
for John E. Regain, Democrat.
In the primary election the results
in these counties were as follows:
Farmer-Labor, 99,2S4; Democratic,
89,S16; Republican, 52,345.
"BancO" Cast Heavy Vote!
Referring again to the percentage
of returns in the present daily news
paper poll and that Of the Literary
Digest of two years ago it should
be stated that the Digest allowed
better than five weeks for the ballots
to be returned to their tabulators,
while the G. o. P. newspapers conduct
ing the present poll have allowed less
than two weeks. The Digest as stated
above took pride in having received
1915 per cent return while the Min
nesota newspapers can boast of 40
per cent.
That the whole scheme is fraud
is in my opinion absolutely certain.
1t may be pertinently asked How
many votes were allotted to the Banco
crowd and to the power companies as
we'll as to the steel trust and other
branches of the plunderbund?"

AMENDMENT NUMBER 1
TO PROTECT HIGHWAYS

One of the state constitutional
amendments to be voted on at the gen.
eral election November 6 will, if
adopted, ratify the expansion of the
state trunk highway system author
lied by the 1888 legislature. 1t will
also prevent further expansion until
Is per cent of the enlarged system
has been constructed and permanently
improved.
This proposal will appear on the
ballots as Amendment No. 1. 1t is de-
scribed on the official ballots as al
lowing additions to trunk highways"
Adoption of the amendment as safe
guard to the present trunk system is
being urged by N. w. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner, and various
good roads organizations. In order to
carry, the amendment must receive a
majority of all votes cast at the cleo
ton.

STATE ADJUTANT
ATTENDS RALLY
Other Speakers of American Legion
Inform Gathering of Work
Being Done.

About so people attended the Le-
last Thursday night and heard var
ious officials of the Legion talk on
issues pertinent to veterans.
A. NJ. Simonsen, commander of the
local post, introduced J. P. Hurley
of Hinckley, who is district COM
mander. Mr.. Hurley after explaining
the program of this years district ad-
ministration, called on Mrs. w. P.
Heesen of Osseo, district Auxiliary
president who made a few remarks
as to the work of the Auxiliary.
After Mrs. Heesen came some selec-
tions by the Little German Band of
Hinckley, and then DR.. E. c. West
of Mora, district child welfare chair
man, told Of the work of his depart
ment. Others called upon who fol-
lowed DR.. West were Frank McLaugh-
lin of Hinckley, of the Junior base
ball department.; Arthur Hastings of
Osseo, membership; and c. A. Zwiener,
state adjutant.
Mr.. Zwiener, who held the audience
at times in uproarious comedy and
at other times in rapt silence with
his serious expressions, told of the
benefits to the crippled and weak and
the good the Legion is doing. Mr..
Zwiener severely scored those who
have been receiving the benefits of
the Legion's service without them
selves becoming members and having
their membership dues go toward pay
ing the way for the good work. In
other words some veterans, since the
Legion was organized have been re-
ceiving benefits on the dues paid by
others, without joining themselves.
After the meeting lunch was sold.

Results Realized.

Results ReaI1ZeO.
In the primary election the Farmer
Labor party polled majority of the
votes cast in these counties. That is
to say, the candidates of that party
received more than half of the votes
cast and that too without any cam
paign waged to bring out the votes.
The Democratic party was in second
place, and the Republican in third.
In the newspaper straw vote, how
ever, the situation is completely re-
versed. The Republicans are first,
the Farmer-Laborites second, and the
Democrats third.
Such a change is we'll nigh impos-
sible. Nothing has occurred since the
primary election to cause any such
shift in political sentiment.
Mr.. Nelson, republican nominee, is
also credited with lead in the news
paper poll in the counties of Henne-
pin, Ramsey, and st. Louis. He is
credited with a total vote of 15,477

In last weeks review of foreign
affairs some stress was laid on the
fact that there is at the present time
in Europe a movement on foot to ar
range, more or less frankly, new alli-
ances or, where alliances are not
acknowledged, treaties which, in real
ity, mean about the same thing.
The present weeks visit of King
Alexander and Queen Marie of Jugo-
Slavia in Paris must be considered
against this background. 1t is part
of what is pretty generally understood
to be the definite French policy of
isolating Germany, and it is, incident
thereto, link in the chain that has
been forged through series of diplo-
matte conversations" in various
countries. A couple of weeks ago the
king of Jugo-Slavia and his consort
were guests at the Bulgarian court at
Sofia. Such ostensibly social affairs
are not for pleasure alone. There's

accentuated by the interesting cir
cumstance that foreign ministers and
their expert advisers accompany kings
when they go "a-visitin'."
The Hand of France.
France is keenly interested in pre-
serving active friendship with Jugo-
Slavia, is also anxious to win over
the support of Bulgaria, erstwhile
