FARMERS’ HEAD LOSES POSITION

National Convention at Indianapolis Ousts President of American Society of Equity. Indianapolis, Oct. 24.—J. A. Everett, president of the Society of Equity, the farmer’s organization, that extends to every state in the Union, has been ousted from office by the national convention and declined to be a candidate for re-election. The opposition was so overwhelming that Everitt was beaten at every point, and, seeing certain defeat, announced that he would not be a candidate for the presidency or any other office. Formal charges of using the organisation to advance his personal interests and of neglecting its duties were in the hands of his enemies, but were not presented to the convention.
