Great Days for McMullen
' ' A
La Follette Party to
Present Full Ticket
Directors of the La Fol
lette movement in Nebras
ka will meet at Lincoln,
July 25, to confer with a
La Follette representative
from Chicago for the pur
pose of fixing a date for a
La Follette state conven
tion, it was announced yes
terday by M. F. Harring
ton of O’Neill. Harrington
heads the Nebraska La Fol
lette organization.
Grand Island is proposed
as the convention’s meet
ing place.
It is the intention of the
party to place a full state
ticket in nomination and
will go on the ballot as the
La Follette party to avoid
confusion with the pro
gressive party, which al
ready has an organization
in the state.
Word was also received
from Chicago that La Fol
lette managers are opposed
to naming Bryan for vice j
president.

Hiirh Dowered political ex
plosions from democratic
leaders of the anti-Bryan
forces were heard in Omaha
Wednesday when the full
meaning of Governor Charles
W. Bryan’s announced pro
gram began to soak in.
The governor made it plain
that he wants a hyphenated
candidate. A “democrat”
cannot win is Bryan's idea.
Nebraska, a republican state,
will not give a majority
against Adam McMullen un
less there is a hyphen candi
dacy against him. Therefore
the governor insists that the
candidate be a “demo-radical
progressive.”
More Than State Issue.
The explosions are coming chiefly
from the following:
Arthur Mullen, democratic na
committeeman.
Dan Butler, democratic member
"S. ,,f the city commission.
Neither is the tour that is filling
the sounding box of the democratic
party in Nebraska confined to state
is sues.
While no open ■barges lisve as yet
been made there Is an uneasy feeling
that Bryan is scheming to "Kip" the
national ticket by flirting with La
Follette In an effort to get himself
named as the La Follette candidate
for vice president.
Bryan's "Back Boor" Hopes.
Bryan’s hopes on this score are
said to be founded on the La Follette
plan to throw tlie election for presi

resentatives. By blocking the nam

Farm Grain
Firm to Save
$2,500,000
Big Economy Possible Under
Merger of Five Marketing
Concerns, Barkers
Declare.
Farmer Control Assured
Chicago, July 16.—The exact mea
hod by which American farmers event
ually are expected to gain control of
the $26,000,000 stock of the Grain
Marketing company, a merger of five,
of the country's largest grain market
ing concerns formed with a view to
giving the producers ownership and
control of selling and distribution,
“cannot he stated at this time,” Mil
lard R. Myers, representing several
Illinois co-operatives, said tonight in
commenting on the project.
“it is enought,” he said, “to know’
that the property is to he taken over
on a square deal basis and that the
stock offered to the public shall be
worth the money ut which it is pro
posed to be sold.”
The Illinois co-operative law, under
whose provisions the company was
organized, restricts issuance of com
mon stock to individuals or associ
ation engagaed in producing the com
modity to be handled. Another pro
vision, however, permits the issuance
of preferred stock which is not so
restricted, “with or without the right
to vote."
$2,50(1,000 Saving Possible.
The articles of incorporation pro
vide for $25,000,000 of preferred stock
and $1,000,000 of common stock.
Financial men involved in the deal
maintain that a saving of $2,500,000
to $3,000,000 annually is possible by
uniting the grain concerns. Accord
ing to If. S. Ballard; counsel for the
Ohio Farm Bureau federation, who
has been acting as counsel for the
grain merger committee of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau federation, whirl)
has endorsed the plan with reserva
tions, the co-operative laws contain
strict clauses to insure producer
control of the corporation. Grain pro
pucers say that the laws probably
will he construed liberally during the
period of transition.
According to Mr. Ballard, the pro
visions of the national Clapper-Vol
stead act that each member ahal!
but one vote, regardless of the
amount of stock he owns, must govern
the new corporation because it will
engage in lnterstateoommerce.
Not Stock Sell Scheme.
In explaining plans for the tran
sit ion period, Mr, Meyers said the
initial working capital must come
from the five grain companies whose
companies are to b» merged, these
companies hold preferred stork.
“A certain type of preferred stock
can be exchanged for property,” Mr.
Meyers said, “and producers will lx*
given time to absorb it. This will
give the five companies control until
producers have bought half the stock.
There is a trusteeship of 75 to 100
fartners, and the farmers will have t
two-thirds majority on the hoard of
directors.
“We at the producers' en^i prob
ably will take two months to make
our appraisal of the properties. We
will make no immediate effort t* In
dure fanners to buy stock. This 1*
not a stock selling promotion pro
position, hut the bringing together
of grain marketing agencies which
have abundance of capital and facili
ties for handling all the fra In that Is
offered, and of working with the
farmers’ elevators and other grain
marketing agencies in solving the
problem of orderly marketing. In this
way they can bring to every grower
the world's best market price for hi’4
grain.”
“The corporation contemplated un
der (lie art which the new concern
takes advantage of.’’ Mr. Ballard said,
“does not control price, but effect*
savings for the producer."

Hanover, Germany, July 3*.—“No

Those were the words of Fritz

MacLaren Feared Lost
By l'ni\erM»l Serrlre,
London, July 16.—The
Japanese government has
sent out a destroyer squadron
to search the waters in the
vicinity of Yeterofu island for
A. Stuart MacLaren, the Brit
ish round-the-world flyer
who is six hours overdue at
Paramashira island, Japan,
according to Tokio cables.
Fears for MacLaren’s safe
ty increased when after two
hours of watching the aviator
failed to put in an appear
ance. MacLaren hopped off
from Yeterofu early today
and should have made a land
ing at Paramashira in a few
hours.

London. July 16.—Six sunburned
smiling American airmen breeze
down Into the Croydon aerodrome
this afternoon fresh from a lilt'
18,000-mile hop from Santa Monica,
while without question the greatest
gathering of British airplane experts
which ever congregated in one place,
plus 2.000 mere members of the pub
lic. chiefly women, extended a wel
come In characteristically British
fashion, by much handclapping.
From 9 a. m., high officers of the
royal air forces and the United States
government, with a small army of re
porters and photographers, waited pa
tiently for the news of the departure
from Paris of the '‘Boston,” "Chi
cago'' and "New Orleans," as the
three surviving busses of the world
fliers are named. Reports had sug
gested the possibility that the Amer
icans would leave early in the
morning.
After about two hours, a British
employe, with his usual calm, filled in
three spaces on the official bulletin
hoard, which records the arrival and
departure of passenger planes, with
the news that the world record mak
ers left Paris at 1:11 a. m.
Haying Safe.
According to experts, this should
have brought them to Croydon about
1:42. hut almost a whole additional
hour elapsed before some sharp-eyed
person in the crowd loosed a seml
hvsterical cry:
"1 see them!”
Actually it was one of the slowest
Paris-to-London flights ever made, hut
in an Interview with Lieut. Lowell
H. Smith, the flight commander,
granted me exclusively for Universal
Service, the real significance of th.s
fact was made clear.
"We were playing safe.” he said, a
few minutes after he had climbed
down from his machine and while he
and the other five fliers were posing
for the photographers.
"It is ail right to hurry, hut even
though ttme is the essence of our
contract, safety first is a rretty govt
motto. There is a great deal yet to
do. and our de!:ght at having go:
this far is tempered by the realiza
tion that we are still a long way from
home.
Nothing to Fear.
“It la not a case of fear. There is
nothing to fear as from our expe
riences in Alaska. It seems years
since we left Santa Monica. Since
that time we have done 244 hours
of flying, which represents a period
in the air of 10 consecutive days and
nights.”
To my question as to the opinions
of the sextet of fliers regarding fix
ing is a sport. Lieutenant Smith
said
“That is an awkward question to
answer. At the outset this is the wit

now you would not take Sl.Otap.OfW to
