The party leaders also disregarded precedent in naming seven women as members of the executive committee and In choosing: a woman, Mrs. Har riet Taylor Upton of Ohio, as vice chairman of the committee.

Following the announcement of the committee's membership. Senator Harding and Chairman Hays each is sued statements, the former praising the organization work already ac complished and declaring that a com plete amalgamation of party groups naa oeen Drougnt aDout in the ap pointment of the committee. In connection with the appointment of the executive committee, Senator Harding made the following state ment: "I cordially approve of the execu tive organization as worked out by Chairman Hays and the sub-committee of the national committee. As the nominee I want to express apprecia tion of the organization heretofore made, and my gratitude to the many interested republicans who constitute it, and who have been working for iwo years to restore a republican party administration. It will be noted that we are calling- all republicans to tne party colors and the irood faith of the programme will be emphasized as the personnel of other highly im portant committees are announced. Conferences Called Success. "The conferences have been most successful, said Mr. Hays in his state merit. "The great party of the union Is most certainly a unit. The executive committee and the other committees yet to be appointed will be splendidly representative. Mr. Daugherty and the loyal republicans who have worked bo enthusiastically for Mr. Harding and those who have no less loyally worked for others are all . together vieing witn each, other in their effort to advance the party's cause. There is one great organization, a complete amalgamation, and we are on our way to the great republican victory which means so much for the country's wel- lare. Johnson Supporters Named. Of the women members of the exec utive committee, Mrs. Edson was ac tive in supporting Senator Johnson of California for the presidential nomi nation, while Mrs. Fosseen is chair man of the Minnesota republican or ganization of women. Mrs. Robinson a. sister of former President Roose velt, made the seconding speech for Aiajor-ueneral Wood at the Chicago convention. Mrs. Hyde has been ac tive in organizing republican women In Utah, while Mrs. Llvermore was described by officers of the national committee ad being in great demand as a speaker. The meeting between Senator Hard ing and the suffrage deputation took place at his office in the CaDitol and lasted more than an hour. The suf fraglsts had gone to the Capitol with prepared statements, but the senator's action in presenting his views firs caused them to change their plans ana simply state their, request for definition of the nominee's position in reply, Senator- Harding said: I need not tell you of my Interest In the consummation of the woman's suffrage. I voted for it In the sen ate and a vote records a senator's purpose quite as faithfully as any tning ne may do. Ratification Is Favored. coining would pieasa me more than no have ratification made ef fective to give American womanhood full participation In -the elections of next November. This desire, sincere ly spoken, does not conflict with my determination that I could not with propriety attempt' to force any state executive to hasten action In viola tlon of his own sense of duty. "There Is a point at which full executive authority may approach trespass on the rights of states, and i should not want to trespass if bore the commission of authority, and - 1 realize full well that, so far, am only a party nominee. Ia the latter capacity I would not wish my party to believe me Inclined to tres pass or to assume to wield a club. If any state executive should ask my opinion about the extraordinary efforts to consummate suffrage. I frankly will commend the thing you desire, but I cannot impose a de mand, though I personally hope to see women's suffrage and women's full participation established at an early date." Harding Is Criticised. Miss Paul, ia her statement tonight, said: "I can hardly believe that a candi date nominated to stand for a spe cific platform could within two weeks after that platform's adoption declare himself unable to do anything; toward carrying It out. We are deeply dis appointed with Senator Harding's po sition. Our delegation- to him todav was the first step in a campaign to place before the country his responsi bility as the head of his, party for his party's inaction on suffrage in those states in which it is In power. Until he recognizes and acts effectively on that .responsibility we shall not be content." . . Before leaving Washington tonight for New York, Mr. Hays announced that no eastern or western campaign managers -were contemplated, as he would substitute himself for both of these . former officers, dividing his time between Chicago and New York. The chairman said appointment of an assistant treasurer probably would be announced tomorrow In New York. 'Veiled Threats Are Made. The suffragists, numbering 26 from 21 states, through their spokesman. Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the na tional woman's party, in presenting their request made veiled threats of throwing, their support to. a third party unless ratification of the suf- rage amendment was completed through action of a republican state legislature. Miss Paul, in a state ment tonight, said" her delegation was deeply disappointed with Senator Harding's position." In the appointment of the executive committee the sub-committee depart ed from the usual practice of confln- ng membership to the national or ganization and took, in Harry M. Daugherty of Columbus, O., Senator Harding's pre-convention campaign manager. The appointments as an nounced include only 20 names, but Mr. Hays said the additional member, who also would not be a member of the national committee, would be an nounced as soon as he could com municate with the prospective ap pointee.

Chinese Exclusion Act Found to Work. Effectively In Keeping Out Immigrants. SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 22. The state board of control today filed with Governor Stephens its report of the oriental problems in California. Pop ulation figures from authentic sources brought .the board to the conclusion that during the period between 1910 and the close of 1919, the Japanese in creased 111 per cent in California, the Hindu population 33.5 per cent and tne whites but s.z per cent. The report states that the Japanese Association of America special cen sus of Japanese population in Cal ifornia, completed in March, 1920, es tablished the Japanese population at 78,628. To this should be added, the report says, the 5000 American-born Japanese now temporarily In Japan, thus making a total of 83,628, as com pared with' 87,279 as given from the federal immigration reports. The Chinese population. It was said has decreased from 72,422 in 1890 to 33,271 In 1919, and the report calls at tentlon to this decrease, saying "it may reflect the effectiveness of the Chinese exclusion act in excluding the Chinese immigrants and indicates the reverse as to the so-called gentle men's agreement with Japan." The increase in the minor popula tion of orientals Is given as 252 per cent over 1910. There were 21,611 Japanese of this class included in the late figures. The white increase in the same period was but 18. & per cent. It was said. - Fletcher Sent to Brazil. HONOLULU, T. H., June 22.

GLUSON-WH MUSIC' LYCEUM OttOCR THRCC riAGS - PORT LAW D CALGARY RADICALS HID TO HELP NQN-PARTISANS Outside Socialists Brought to North Dakota. WORKERS' RECOR DS KNOWN Phenomenal Growth of So-Called Farmers' Organization Due Large ly to Work of Paid Men. This Is the second of a series of articles to appear In The Orcgonian by 'George K. Aiken. well-known Oregon newspaper man. who has gone to Minnesota and North Dakota to study the -workings of the Non-Partiaan league as It affects the general public and the general public wel fare. Mr. Aiken formerly lived In the country where the Non-partisan league is now strongest and most active and has a. wide acquaintance there. ' In recent years he has been in newspaper work In the north west, and for several years past has been connected with The Oregonlan as corre spondent. He is the owner and publisher of the Ontario (Or. Argus and is promi nently connected with the development of that part of the state. - BY GEORGE K. AIKEN. GRAND FORKS. N. D., June 22. 1 (Special.) While conditions were ripe for the growth of a radical or ganization in North Dakota after four years of famine and bad crops. these conditions do not explain its pnenomenal development. It could not have accomplished one-half of its work without the strange charac ter of leadership and this was sup plied, not from North Dakota, but from without the state by .paid or ganizers of the socialist party. The rank and file of the Non-Partl- san league do not deny that these or ganizations were not, and never have been, citizens of North Dakota prior to their employment by the league, nor that their presence gives the lie to the oft-repeated statement that it is a farmer's organization. When Howard Wood, speaker of the 1917 session of the legislature and elected lieutenant governor in 1918, who is again a candidate for that position, was asked by the writer to explain the strange connection be tween the socialists and the farmers he had this to say: J Promoters Held Necessary. "We could not get along without them. We wanted to oreranize and we ha? to have organizers. So we did just what business men do when they want to increase their business. We went to men whose business it is ta promote organization among people, and of course we turned to men of the type employed. . "Some of us do not like all of the men. who were hired, but we cannot help that. In every organization some men get in who ought to be left out. However, they are doing the work they were intended to do, as the growth of the organization plain ly indicates." This statement by Mr. Wood, who is really one of the better type of men connected with "the Non-Parttsan league, indicates the growing atti tude among respected citizens of North Dakota. .They realize that the good name of the state and the suc cess of their "industrial programme" is being endangered by the presence of such men as Rev. George A. Totten, the man who brought Kate Richards O'Hare to Bowman; Arthur LeSeuer, L W. W. attorney, and president of the socialist college at Fort Scott, Kansas, and many other men now working under the direction of Town-ley- Socialism Is Disavowed. In spite of the fact that practically every one of the prominent organizers and workers have never renounced their socialism, are registered as so cialists and have held executive posi tions of various degrees In the so cialist party In the states from which they came, practically every non partisan leader with whom I talked at Grand Forks yesterday, was in censed at the suggestion that the or ganization was purely socialistic. The following brief record of the activities of the prominent leaders shows that they are not only social ists but were not residents of the state of North Dakota prior to their active connection with the Non-Par-tisan league, which plainly indicates the close connection with the national socialistic party and the league. It Is also true that the socialistic party, as such, has gone out of existence in North Dakota since the Non-Partisan league attained power through its capture of the republican state or ganization. Townleya Status Clear. . Arthur C. Townley was a socialist organizer and registered as a social 1st at his home. Beech, Golden Valley county, N. D. He is the supreme head of the Non-Partisan league and if he has legal residence anywhere today it must be in St. Paul, Minn., where he maintains elaborate offices from which he directs the affairs of the Non-Partisan league In Minnesota and North Dakota, and ' other states as well. His chief lieutenant is Arthur La Seuer, president of the socialist col lege at Fort Scott, Kan., who has become a national figure in his con nection with the I. W. W. and his friendship for William D. Haywood Eugene V. Debs and other men of their stripe. To the brain of Walter Thomas Mills is credited most of the fan tas.ical socialistic ideas now promul gated by the league. He was a widely known, socialist teacher in America and New Zealand and more recently - CA0TA0Q0AS Oft TWO MCrniSPHCRCS AUCKLAXIO, NU) ZEALAND was. connected with the socialist in stitute at Berkley, CaL . People on the Paclfie coast will rec ognize the name of David C. Coates, prominent socialist of the northwest, who, at one time was a member of the city commission at Spokane. Pre-, vlous to that time he was elected lieutenant governor of Colorado on the socialist ticket. He" is the business manager of the league now in North Dakota. Ex-Rev. George A. Totten has suc ceeded some of the 'other men in the Inner circles.. He is an unfrocked preacher and his home Is Bowman, N. D. He is the man who Invited Kate Richards O'Hare to Bowman as indicated by her testimony in the famous trial for seditious, utterances upon which she was convicted and sent to prison. He was one of the first business managers of the league and Is now president of the board of regents of the university and the most active one in the movement to socialize the educational institutions of the state. ' Former Editor Failure. Walter W. Liggett, now in charge ef the North Dakota Immigration of fice at Washington, D.' C Is a social ist of years standing. He was at one time editor of a paper at Skagway, Alaska, later worked on the Tacoma Ledger and for two years was editor or the Pasco ProgressPasco. Wasn. His venture in country Journalism, however, was - a rank failure. He was out of his sphere and lost not only what little money he had him self, but also. some given him by bis wife. . , Following his failure at Pasco he went to St. Paul and obtained a posl- ion on the St. Paul Dispatch, which e lost over his exultation on - the n famous LaFollette speech in that ity. . He next turned up in North Da- ota as one of. the paid organizers the league and was instrumental in forming- its publicity scheme to rive out papers which had the au aclty to . fight Townley and his crew.- . Two Farmers Enlisted. Tere are, however, at least two farmers prominently connected with he league. One of these -Is tay McKaig,, now manager for the state f Idaho, and F. E. Wood, father of Howard Wood, lieutenant governor. This brief summary of the record or the leaders is sufficient proof of he character of its organization, but the conclusion must not be drawn that the league leaders, at least some of them, are not thoroughly con vinced of the holiness of their cause. Ir. fact, they seem possessed of a religious fanaticism, while their ha tred for "big business" Is equal to that of the most rabid soap-box ora- LATE EVENING TRAINS N .
