Nearly Killed by Democrats' Work Farmers Also Hard Hit as Lir erpool Fixes Prices of Wheat So That They Are in Hands of British. . a Chicago, Oct. 28. There are 4vo great markets for the American Farmers' wheat, the American flour mills and the export business which centers in Liverpool. By action of the Wilson administration, the w American flour mills have been put out of business, as far as the export .of flour is concerned. That leaves the Liverpool wheat market the great power in handling wheat and fixing wheat prices, and the wheat at Liverpool is in the hands of a British government commission. In other words, the Wilson admmis- trationvhas left the American farm 'er at the mercy of the British-gov eminent. - -- The situation was explained to , day, as follows, by A. P. Husband, secretary of theimlltrs' national fed eration m Chicago: The action of President Wilson's shipping board t discriminating by its freight rates against the exporta- tion of American flour, has placed the national Administration in the position of working hand in hand ith the British royal commission against the best interests of the American wheat raiser and the mill ing industry of the. United States on which the farmer is dependent for the sale of his produce. The price of wheat jt the United States, is in reality fixed in Liver pool and to Liverpool goes Ameri can wheat at a price fixed by the British. - ( nnpntlntlt Amrirai farmers" have lost approximately 90 cents a bushel pn' their wheat dur ing the last few weeks, owing to the decline in the price, moreover, ap 11 proximately 1,000,000 tons of mill v teed is lost to American dairymen because of the exportation of wheat instead of flour, making it possible for European dairymen to make their products at a cost below thaUp 5V 1 .ifi v A " j QAvoness Speck von Slcrnittrtfj The' Bareness Speck von Stern berg, whose husband was, the Ger man ambassador ' to the United States from 1903 until his death in 1908, is CTgaged to Adolph Paven stadt, retired New York banker. The baroness was formerly Miss- Lillian Langham vt Louisville, Ky., and is well known in New York and Wash ington social circles where she en tertained extensively during her "hus band a tenure of office. of American producers, as evidence by the recent arrival in thi country of butter from Denmark at a price below the American market. for, many years before the war the exportation of flour was about equal to that of wheat. As far back as 1880 40 per cent of the total export (of wheat was in the form of flour. 1 he percentage varied, ac cording to the world crop condi tions in different years. During the war ocean rates were controlled by governmental agen cies and the demand for flour was so great that theates were not a .serious consideration, ."is long as the Uuited States gram corporation operated exportation of flour con tinued. But as it went out of exist ence the shipping board permitted the .United States merchant marine to " carry millions of .iushe'ls of wheat to Europe arid on June 14 of his vear decided the rate tor nour -at cents per iuu aDove tnat tor wheat was "lustified. . This means a niseriminarion. in ocean rates oi 50 cents per barrel against flour, , This discrimination in ocean rates against flour practically kills the export flour business, except in limited quantities. : The exportation of flour fn 1919 totalled 26,000,000 barrels, Now it amounts to practi cally nothing and the United States shipping board by surrendering to the British royal commission is per mitting British millers to buy wheat in this country . at practically the price fixed by Great Britain and to take away from the United States the flour markers of Europe. The exportation of wheat from the single port of New Orleans in July,. August and September of this year totalled more than the whole annual exportation from that port in normal years. Yet. with all this wheat going .across the seas from New Orleans, only eight barrels of flour were in the cargoes in Sep tember. ' Battle for Votes Iii Ohio Bitter Campaign in Home State of Harding and Cox Waxes Hot "ter as End Approaches, Embarrassment Caused bv Talk Of Jap Minister; Confidential Interchanges Bej tween Japan and U. S. Over Land Trouble In Califor nia Divulged In Speech. Tokio, Oct. 28. (By The As sociated Press.) Some embarrass ment has been caused the foreign of fice by the publication of addresses by Masano Hanihara, vice foreign minister, before various political groups (of tlte Diet on developments in the, negotiations with the United States relative to the California land question. There has been a tacit agreement between Washington and Tokio that the government would not make public statements regard ing the negotiations, which 'are con-' tinuing sympathetically. It is understood that talks given by M. Hanihara to political leaders have been a 'sort of concession to politicians who have been demand ing less secrecy in diplomatic mat ters. They have been of a;onfiden tial nature, but, nevertheless, full re- j ports have been published by-news- I papers here. In this connection the vice foreign minister has made a re quest that a statement be published that newspaper reports of his ad dress before the Kenyuki party in the House of Peers on October 16 were distorted versions of his re marks, and attributed to him state- fments he did not make. M. Hanihara, speaking onOctober 16, was reported to have declared that measures taken tp check the anti-Japanese movement in Cali fornia -had been futile. He was said to have declared that if the re ferendum measure should be adopted by the California voters there would be an appeal to the supreme court by Japanese residents of that stater a demand for the nullification of the law as an infringement on the Japanese-American treaty and negotia tions for a new convention between Japan and the United States.- Obregon For Stimulation Of Investments in Mexico Mexico City.

The 1 in terest fighting of the 1920 battle for tlje presidency now is being waeil in Ohio, the home of both tfie re- ublican and democratic nominees. The "favorite son" phast of the contest has injected into the Situa tion a personal touch the natural desire of each candidate to attain the .honor of carrying his own state aria has, spurred their partisans to a Struggle the like of which Ohio never before has seen. The alLmotto( "anything is fair in iove or war or politics," appears to have been adopted 'as a slogan by the workers on bothvsid'es. No op portunity to bring personalities and scandal into the campaign has been overlooked and this character war fare has charged the atmosphere- with tense feeling. ' Senator Hatding and Governor Cox themselves have refrained from personal mud-slinging at each other, it should be said, and it is not known that campaign managers have had. any connection with this aspect of the controversy. - By the usual "grapevine" channel of dissemina tion, however, a veritable flood of back-alley gossip has been turned loose. , - Much of this slush is of the. var iety that should never get into the press unless a publisher is pre pared to stand a heavy libel suit. Anonymous letters and circulars are being widely spread, it is re ported. '"Mi, ' 1 Church Rendezvous For Night Riders Montgomery, Ala..' . Oct. 28.
