Progressive to ! , Stay in Race Against Bryan Edward Sughroue, Third Party Candidate for Governor, Flays Brother Charlie in Statement I.lncoln, March 22.—Edward fiugh roue, who appealed a week ago to the progressives In the state for ad vice In regard to his withdrawal from the race against the governor, will stay In the race. "Partisan politics Is our greatest curse,” Sughroue declared, "and has resulted In the Federal Reserve bank crime, the veterans bureau soandat and the ell scandals. We must arise as fres men and take the middle of the read. "Who will deny that paitlsan poli tics ruled our lsst legislature,” Sugh roue asked, “From the governor, who should have set the example of nonpartisanship, to the senate and the house, I believe the state govern ment should be a business institution *md not the football of partisan poli ticians. "I, as a progressive candidate against the present governor, who le a recognized leader of one of those old parties, have been requested to withdraw by his friends and by the heads of the four big railroad brother hoods. The request from these lat ter was astounding to me when the prospects at this time for a national third party are so bright. Is it pos sible the railroad employes are going to dash to earth the hopes of uniting the farmer and labor vote? "I think rather that those leaders who signed the request for my with drawal are a group of dominant men who do not speak the sentiments of the men that toil. “I dare to do my duty, as I see It, because I have faith In my brother farmers and laborers, and the men and women In Nebraska who are freed. I will not withdraw in favor of Governor Bryan.” Farm Sale Shows Many Cash Buyers Beatrice, Neb., March 22.—Col.

Indians Served as Race by White Man's Teaching Lessons in Hygiene and In dustry Given Credit by South Dakota Su perintendent. Hr AnorWed Free*. Pierre, 8. D., March 22 —Romantic word pictures of a race that is vanish ing from the earth, as presented by numerous fiction writers, set forth a condition that no longer has basis In fact, according to C. F. Whitlock, superintendent of the Pierre Indian Industrial school, who pointed out that owing chiefly to methods of sanita tion which have beer taught th* younger generation an approximate 10 per cent Increase In Indian popula tion of the nation has been recorded in the last decade. Identical courses of study are being followed in all nonreservation schools, which include also those at Rapid City and Fiandreau, he said. The course is the product of a wide study of state courses of study and is be lieved to be Superior to most of them. Its chief merit is provision for devot ing one-half of the student's time to practice work of vocational training. Personal hygiene and sanitation In home making are drilled Into the boys and girls so thoroughly over a period of years that they become fixed habits, the superintendent explained. Back In their homes, these students set a new standard for the entire community. The result Is so unmistakable, Mr. Whitlock said, that taken together wUh the small degree to which Indians Intermarry with whites, there Is every reason to believe the race of native Americans will retain Its posi tion Indefinitely. Practical study of the care of milk holds chief Interest of boy students at the school. They operate the school dairy In squads, caring for the 25 dairy cows, milking and keeping ac curate records of milk production. The Holstein herd maintains a high standard of milk production and Is one of the finest in this section of the state. The boys also care for the chickens and hogs and under the direction of supervisors operate all departments of the 300 acre farm at the school. During the winter they have built a modem hog house and have nearly finished painting roofs of all the school buildings. There are also dormitory squads, appointed in turn, to care for the living quarters. Others are janitors In charge of school build ings and grounds. Girl students likewise carry on their part of domestio training. Details alternate In dormitory, a modernly equipped school laundry and a dress making department, where hats and garments for all students are supplied. The recreation program Is well taken care of, fitting In so systemati cally that It Is scarcely possible tw find at any period of the day a group of students of any age free from their schedule long enough to engage In any extraordinary work, according to Mr. Whitlock. Ko class of students ara more appreciative or are greater boosters for their school than these, ha said. m Attorneys File Lien on Verdict in Coming Suit BT Associated Press.
