BROOKHART IS TROUNCED BY BUSINESS MAN Field. -Amateur' Politician, Wins G. 0. P. Senate Nomination. RV GENE GILLETTE I nitrl Pr. Stnr rarrr.pnnd'n t T)ES MOINES. June B.—A new and b;'arr' character took hi* place in the foreground of American politics today with the victory of Henry Field over Senator Smith W. Brookhart for the Republican nomination for United States senator. vvnen Field decided to com rete against his old friend. Senator Brookhart, for the nomination, he announced he thought it. was time w’e had more business men in our government instead of so many lawyers.” And Field his associates testify, unquestionably is a business man. He has built a half-million dollar serd house and radio station from the fruits of a 50-cent order for poppy-.*eed when he was a boy. and no small measure of this achievement is due to his intense interest in flowers and plants and the people who work with them—the farmers. Talks About Seeds Henry.” as he is familiarly known, understands the likes and and, ;kes of the people to whom he • ppra: in his frequent talk' ever radio ■ ration KFNF, the “friendly farmer's station " \ typical KFNF program finds an old fiddlers' trio sawing out the ulors’ hornpipe,” with Henry' w n.ng to come on the with a talk about seed or crops. Field was a pioneer in radio, esper *lly m utilizing it as a commercial meriium for "keeping in touch with our people.” ‘ Henry's" people come bv the hundreds of thousands annually to visit the auditorium in which is housed the radio station. This is further evidence of Field's business acumen. He solicits his radio listeners incessantly for sug--r 'ions and “request numbers.” V hen he has any time for diversion o'!v r than the pleasure he gets out r I his work, he turns to horseback ridine. Initial Political Venture More often, though, he is engrossed with plants in the huge seed house that has grown from a oneroom business, or with plants in his own brick home scarcely fifty feet from the center of the business in Shenandoah. '•Vld never before aspired to a political office. He naively termed himself as "amateur,'' and thereupon struck out, at what appeared to be a weak spot in the Brookhart armor. He directed his fire, like a cool business man, at what seemed the logical point and kept hammering away with charges of nrixnism and neglect of duty. "If I'm elected I'll be the onlv Field in congress,” said "Henry” despite the fact he has eleven children and fifteen grandchildren. Henry” likes children. He gives SSO to every babv born to a member of his organization. Woman Seriously Burned Burns on face, neck and hands were incurred by Mrs. Minnie Knapp. 34, of 1604 Dawson street, when a bottle in a burning trash pile at her home exploded, throwing flames over the back yard. The woman told police she did not know what the bottle contained. She is in a serious condition at city hospital.

THEY TILL ME

ANY Governor ambitions that may have been harbored this year by Ivan C. Morgan, Republican state chairman, were knocked flatter than a pancake Tuesday, when wily 'Uncle Bert” Thurman had him named permanent chairman of the convention. It looked for a while as if there would be nine candidates for the Governor nomination i;; the field when the convention starts balloting Thursday, eight announced and Morgan masquerading as a dark horse. And that would have been the situation if Morgan could have named his own permanent chairman. However, after a few minutes' discussion, In which Elza O. Rogers, former state chairman. Watson's choice, and John Moorman of Knox. Morgan's preference, were mentioned. “Uncle Bert” proposed the state chairman as the gavel-wielder. Naturally, all the other Governor candidates at the conference enthusiastically declared for Morgan. In the first place, it is poor politics to vote against giving the man in power honor; and. second, which of them would be averse to removing a dangerous contender from the field? HEADS NATIONAL PARTY’S TICKET Massachusetts Man Runs for Presidency. Seymour E Allen. East Springfield. Mass., accepted the National party nomination for President at a meeting Tuesday of the party advisory board at the home of John Zahnd, national chairman, 2315 East Troy avenue. The nomination was declined recently bv George Irving Wilson of Vineland, N. J., who gave his advanced age as his reason for refusal to head the ticket. Allegiance to the party's program for monetary reform, which it advances as a cure for many economic ills of the day, was given by Allen in his speech of acceptance. An international monetary union, similar to the postal union, is proposed bv the party to arrive at its goal of stabilized currency. Interest on monev is opposed, the party declaring that any charge for 'the use of money is usury. Allen, who is 36. formerly was a member of the International Association of Machinists. For the last eight years he has been connected with the General Electric Company at Springfield, Mass. He is married and has three daughters. J. A. Parker. Blytheville, Ark, is the party's candidate for VicePresident. ORDER COAL RATES CUT Commerce Commission O. K.s Slash on Freight From Indiana. f!y I ni'rit Prrtt* WASHINGTON. June B—The interstate commerce commission Tuesday ordered a reduction of the freight rates on bituminous coal shipped in carloads from Indiana mines to destinations in eastern central Illinois. In addition, the commission found that the present rates were unfair to coal operators in that section, in the effort to compete with other mines.

Nobody heard Morgan cheer, but. after all, what could you expect? a a a Next to being the. Governor nominee, the best position is that of Governor maker, although Bert Fuller and Bert Morgan, who "made” Leslie in 1928. may disagree. Morgan will handle the gavel and in a political convention, with a whole flock of candidates, the gavel is mightier than either the pen or the sword Usually the mallet swinger, if he is a potent spellbinder, can in a deadlock turn the silencer over to someone else and cop the nomination- but unfortunately for Morgan, his forte is not oratory. Yet he may have a great deal to do with the selection of the Governor nominee. And what could be nicer than being state chairman with a Governor 'if elected' of his own choosing? a a a Just in passing, it should be observed and noted for future reference that several Democrats are engaged busily in hustling votes and proxies for Lieutenant-Governor Ed Bush. It is peculiar that these Democrats happen to be the same who are looked upon with great disfavor by all leaders of the party and commonly are known as “the barnacles.” They are the same fellows who made a paying business out of the Ku-Klux Klan when it was a lucrative proposition and then turned their attention to lobbying during the legislative sessions. Someone has suggested that Bush still will be president of the senate when it convened next month, whether he is or is not nominated for Governor, and a lot of special interests not eager to pay their just portion of the taxes will be hiring lobbyists at nice salaries and expense accounts 'never forget the expense accounts*. There must be some relationship there. Let it be recorded.

act followed cloeely his resignation as co-receiver of the maasive Middle West Utlities Company, his collapsed holding corporation, and as chairman of the board of the three Insull operating concerns and their subsidiaries. His personal fortune gone, heavily indebted by his losing fight to save hia vast domain. Insull will retire in the near future,, probably to England, the land he left as a youthful protege of Thomas A. Edison to start his meteoric rise. Most ironic of all. the man whose wizardy with billions brought him a personal fortune of $100,000,000. will leave Chicago a pensioner of the companies which depression whisked I from his grasp. It is not expected the aging financier will be forced to undergo the humiliation of bankruptcy, though the ledgers will show hin indebted to the exent of $10,000,000. Instead, bankers and creditors have arranged that each of the (three large Insull operating units. Commonwealth Edison Company. Public Service Company of Northern Illinois and People s Gas Light and Coke Company, will provide

$6,000 a year for the man whose genius is responsible for their success. Insull has an estate at Reading England, on the Thames, and it is probable he will go there, although friends said he might take a prolonged rest in Paris.

MAP STRATEGY TD KEEP U. D. P. GDNVENTIUN DRY Robinson With Nine Platform Bolters: Borah Raps Wet Plank. BY LYLE C. WILSON Vailed Frets Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. June B.—Nine Republican senators in a counteroffensive against the prohibition resubmission plank, drafted by party leaders, are mapping convention strategy to keep the Chicago platform dry.

borough 'Md.) f Howell tNeb.i, Vandenberg 'Mich.*. Steiwer <Ore.* and Thomas (Idaho*. 8 moot and Robinson attended Sunday's conference sponsored by Senator Moses (N. H.i at the Congressional Country Club, at which a tentative compromise resubmission plank was drafted. Those opposing the “country club'* plank held their first meeting late yesterday in Borah's foreign relations committee room. Most of them came away, close-lipped, refusing even to assume responsibility for calling the parley. Borah said he had not circulated on the senate floor the single-para-graph. anonymous, typewritten invitations to gather in his office. “We discussed prohibition and other matters.” Borah said. "In general the gathering was opposed to the prohibition plank drafted Sunday at the Congressional Country Club.” While insisting no definite program or plank was placed before the prohibitionists in his office Borah was bitter in his denunciation of the product of the Congressional Club meeting.
