Johnson Concedes N. D. to Coolidge La Follette Takes Second Plare From Californian in Returns. By A*»anrl« ted PrfM. Fargo, N. D., March 20.—Calvin Coolidge wan conceded victor in the republican presidential preference pri mary in North Dakota Tuesday in a statement Issued today by state headquarters of Senator Hiram John son, one of the president'* primary opponents. "By a minority vote,” the state ment said, "Mr. Coolidge has been given the presidential preference in the republican primary," adding Ills victory was made possible by "the split in the vote of the anti-Coolidge forces in North Dakota." When the Johnson statement was issued. President Coolidge was retain ing his plurality of 15,000 voles In the first additional returns reported today, completing the unofficial count in 1,307 of the state's 2.058 precincts. In these new returns Senator Robert La Follette gained a few votes and retained second place, the count for the reported precincts standing: Coolidge 33,226; La Follette, 23,920, and Johnson, 23,533. The Coolidge lead was slightly en hanced in returns from the next 43 precincts, 1,350 precincts giving the president 40,166, La Follette 24,648 and Johnson 24,099. The contention of Johnson man agers t, at La Follette’e vote would have gone to the Californian had the Wisconsin senator been out of the i race, was challenged by L. B. Hanna. Coolidge state manager, in declaring the etate has given the president a "substantial plurality.” "It Is not my belief that every one who voted for La Follette would have turned to Johnson had the former not entered the race. I am sure the president was second choice with many who cast their ballots for the Wisconsin senator," Mr. Hanna said. W. G. McAdoo was unopposed for the democratic presidential prefer ence nomination. * 1 Associated Press. Atlanta, Ga., March 20.—W. G. Me Adoo's overwhelming victory over Oscar W. Underwood for the Georgia democratic presidential preference was indicated today when returns from yesterday’s primary gave Me Adoo 318 votee of the 412 that will comprise the etate convention here April 23.

LADY EXPERT COMING TO HELP RUPTURED WOMEN Demonstrates Rice Method Free to AH Mis* S. P. Meegan, representing William S. Rice, Adams, N. Y.,^ in ventor of the famous Rice (Non Surgical) Method for Rupture will he at the Rome hotel, Omaha, Neb., Monday and Tuesday, March 24 anc 25, to demonstrate a new special corset attachment that holds ar.y rupture, no matter how large. Ever if the abdomen is eery fleshy, it holds any rupture with ease, com fort and security. Every woman who has beer c o m p e 11 ed to wear an ordinary truaa or abdomi nal support knows the goug ing, cutting and chafing caused by narrow bands. The weight of the abdomen or pressure neces sary in holding the rupture must be carried by the band around the back, and the pressure is some times xery great, causing untold suffering. The special, broad Special Combined gupporting COT* •« back distrib utes the pressure so as to do away with all cutting and chafing. There are thousands of women who are in perfect misery because they cannot find anything that will hold their rupture and the abdomen at the same time. The appliances usually worn are hot. bulky, chaf ing and irritating. But this wonder ful Combined Corset Back Support is light, flexible, durable and cool and fits the figure like a glove. It gives you a sense of absolute com fort and protection while at the same time greatly improving ab dominal outlines. Trusses in common use are not adapted to women and often do great harm. Women, therefore, suffer more and are in greater dan ger from rupture than men, and all women, who have ruptures or who wear an abdominal support of any kind, should not fail to call and see this wonderful Combined Corset Back Support. Xo description or il lustration can fully convey the re markable utility of this splendid Support. It must be seen: it must be put on to convince any woman that it was designed for her. Miss Meeean takes a large woman just as she is, all out of shape and un sightly, and by this remarkable Cor set Support gives her a natural, neat, trim figure. She will also give full instructions on how to handle and care for anv rupture, large or small. She will show how to hold any kind of rup ture from the simple groin and fem oral to the large and difficult Navel and after Operation Ruptures, with out chafing or squeezing, also how to wear the corset correctly. Pon’t let this great opportunity get away from you. Pon’t continue to suffer the burden of rupture and truss wearing when it is so entirely unnecessary. Your call on this Lady Expert is sure to prove one of the best things you ever did. She will be there only two days, then your opportunity will be gona. The fit ting and demonstration are free. It don’t cost you a penny to learn all about the Rice Method and the won derful opportunity for help and cure it offers in your case. After demonstration you can purchase the Outfit required if you wish. Call any time from 9 to 12 a. rn . 2 to 5 p. m.. or T to 9 evening. March 24, and from 9 to 12 a. re . 2 to 5 p m .
