YOUNG‘UFSTARf IN ILLINOIS iS G. O.PJALKING Practically Unknown in State, Lawyer Polls 125,000 Votes in Primary. By LOWELL MEL.LETT CHICAGO. May 20—The hi? political news in Illinois just now is not what happened to Medill McCormick in the primaries, nor yet what George Brennan is going to do in the Xew York national convention. It is what the Illinois independent vote is going to do next faU. Every sign in these parts is pointing toward an astonishing progressive vote. Predictions are not uncommon that. Robert M. La Follette will carry the State. This situation has come about through the efforts of one young man, Xewton Jenkins, lawyer and ex-service man, of Chicago. Jenkins was a candidate for United States Senator in th’e Republican primaries against McCormick and Charles S. Dineen ‘Tf I'd thought he could get 10,000 votes, I'd have got out and worked for him.” said a nationally known liberal Democrat yesterday. Jenkins got 10,000 votes, all right. He got 125 000! Still Worrying Old line politicians have got over their surprise by now. but not over their worry. If Jenkins could get 125,000, they are saying, what will Bob La Follette get? For, during the recent campaign some of them, so they swear, didn't even know Jenkins was running. Jenkins was nractically unknown in Illinois last January when he announced himself as a candidate for the senatorial nomination. Born in Ohio, he had coma to Chicago to practice law after graduating from Columbia law school. He was gone for awhile during the war. serving with great credit in the Second Division. But he didn’t come home famous or anything like that. He was just one of some thousands of young lawyers in Chicago. His age was 36. The platform he announced was a. La Follette platform, with a little extra stress on the bonus. He was tm active member of the American Legion and had sortie acquaintance with farmer leaders, as a result of legal work for the State Farm Bureau Federation. He got himself Introduced favorably to the railroad workers who form the nucleus of the conference for progressive political action in Illinois.

Started Campaign Then he stqrigd out to Campaign. In all he made aliout twelve or fifteen speeches and, so those who heard him say, they were not particularly good speeches—at least not from the spellbinding standpoint. The first was in Belvidere, a town of about 3,000 inhabitants. Exactly eighteen people turned out to hear him. The next was in Danville, Fncle Joe Cannon’s own town. There forty-eight people turned out. Jenkins never went back to either of these places, but he carried both towns in the primaries, and almost carried the county of which Danville is the county-seat. Other cities carried by Jenkins include Galesburg, Centralia, Joliet, Monmouth. Salem and Bloomington. In many more he ran second. And in all the circumstances were pretty much the same as in Belvidere and Danville. What happened In each town was that following Jenkins’ speeches an organization was formed, usually under the name of the Conference for Progressive Political Action.. Literature was distributed. This consisted of a pamphlet presenting Jenkins’ platform and a copy of “Labor,” the weekly newspaper published by the sixteen railroad brotherhoods. Organization Vital "We found this,” said Jenkins, “that in almost every precinct where we could form any sort of organization we carried the precinct. Why, where we could get somebody to distribnuh that issue of Labor,’ we’d carry the precinct and in the adjoining precinct where it wasn’t distributed we probably wouldn't get a single vote.” It was the same m the count!y districts as in the cities. Even conservative farmers voted for Jenkins where they had been advised as to what he stood for. Jenkins got EM,OOO. What would I-a Follette get? Eighteen people came out to hear Jenkins in Belvidere. They say 18,000 would turn out to hear Fightin' Bob. women' to entertain Miss Dorothy Cunningham Will Be Guest at Reception.

BOATS ARE RIGGED FOR SKIRMISHES WITH ‘LEGGERS’ Waters Off Eastern Coast Will Be Scene of Merry * Battles, Times Washington Bureau. 1322 New York Ave. WASHINGTON, May 20.—That thrilliing fifty-mile-an-hour race between the police boat Gypsy and the rum runner May at New York recently will be a frequent occurrence in three months. By that time the coast guard will have a number of speedy boats completed to wage war in earnest on the, rum flfleffeflt that is pouring whisky into the United States at the rate of more than 96<j.000 quarts a month from Europe alone. The May was totally wrecked and a $35,000 whisky cargo sank when the pilot ran on to a reef in trying to escape from the dice boat, which was gradually overhauling him. It was the May’s first trip and great things had been expected of her by the bootleggers. -But the police of New York were ready with the Gipsy, representing the last j word in speed boat construction. Surface Craft Within three months the police I boats of New York and other Atlantic Coast ports will be reinforced by speed craft now being constructed for the Coast Gaurd. Contracts have been let for construction of 323 powerful launches. Tind twenty Navy destroyers now out of commission are being rapidly overhauled at Philadelphia. The destroyers have a speed of thirty knots an hour under full steam. In some boats speed will be sacrificed for seaworthiness, as Admiral Biilard, commanding the Coast Guard, is convinced that ability to stand a heavy sea will be the supreme tets when the blockade is stn rted. Few persons realize the magnitude < f the Whisky smuggling from abroad. Although the Coast Guard with its present limited force and equipment has seized 153 rum running craft and confiscated 31,000 cases of whisky in the past, twenty-two months, they have barely scratched the surface. as the amount captured may it is but a drop in the bucket, compared with the actual quantities leaving foreign parts.” Admiral Biilard testified before Congri. L Sixty floats l/oaded "Right now there are sixty boats with whisky standing oft' shore near New York alone,” Capt. S. S. Yeandle, aidfe to Biilard, stated touuy. : di ■ • • '•,! "• that * rom information furnished him by American Consuls he knew that 48,000 cases of three gallons each had been shipped to the United States from northern Europe in the past twentysix months. "During the past nine months 724.000 cases (rave arrived off New York entrance. Mature consideration b ads me to believe that the direct shipments from Europe alone to the United States amount to not less than 80.000 cases a month," Commander C. S. Root, another witness, testified. Not all of the destroyers and launches will be placed on duty guarding New York. Some will bo sent to tin- Pacific and many of tho launches will be put into commission on the Great Lakes. The destroyers, of course, will not carry much armament, as Biilard does not anticipate anything except small arms resistance by the rum smugglers. But all of the launches will carry at least one small cannon and a machine gun. PRIZE DONATORS NAMED More Firms Provide Funds for Race IJip Awards.

"I brought the problem to Washington and through the foreign service of the Department of Commerce we found the solution to our problem.

MOVE TO KILL OFF SPARROWS IS ADVANCED But English Variety Only Would Come Under Ban of Song Bird Lovers. By Times Special NEW Y'ORK. May 20.—The .American Game Protective Association reports that several lovers of songbirds have advocated a campaign to exterminate the English sparrow. “We candidly admit.” says a bulletin of the association, “that we would be for any plan that would do the trick. At the same time ve frankly state that we do not believe it practical. Came in 1850 “This European pest was brought over here about ISSO, only a few pairs being liberated. In twenty years the sparrow' had spread over the eastern States and in another fifteen years it had crossed the Mississippi and spread over the entire country this side of the Rockies. Should a bounty be offered on the English sparrow', thousands of beneficial birds would be killed' by people not sufficiently posted to distinguished other members of the sparrow' family from the imported European. What a pity it is that some of our native game birds do not have the sparrow’s tenacity of life and ability to increase. If such were the case, the problems of game departments would be greatly simplified. Builds Own Nest “We haVe always liked the story told to ijlustrate the rapidity of reproduction in the sparrow. One morning the old bird, thinking the nestling was large enough to shift for himself, shoved him out of the nest. The young sparrow twittered as lie tumbled to the ground; then, looking around to get his bearings, picked up a straw, flew to an adjoining window sill and built him a nest of his own.”
