GOP FOUNDING
Bipon, Wis., () Up here; come
June 8, the folks are going to cel
ebrate the diamond Jubilee of the

with Herbert, the 25,000 pound ele
phant engaged to march in the par
ade here. He will be the symbol of
the party's might or of Its thlck-
sklnnedness, depending upon wheth
er one Is looking through republican
or democratic glasses.
The present arrangement is lor
the pachyderm to travel from Chica
go to Rlpon on the special train of
James W. Good, secretary of war,
to whom this may be news.

CLOSE ELECTION
IN PROSPECT AT
HIGH SCHOOL
The political pot which has been
brewing at Salem high school for
the past four weeks will boil over
Wednesday morning when all bona
fide members of the associated
student body will vote for new stu
dent body officers. The polls will
open In the main hallway of the
high school building at B:30 and
win close at 1:1ft. -
Barney Cameron, out-going pres
ident, has appointed Don Sleg
mund, chairman of the election
committee. Assisting Slegmund at
the polls will be David Eyre, junior
class representative, ana iioree u ar
il am, sophomore representative.
According to the sentiment
around the school the race for the
presidency of the student body will
be a close one between Richard
Baker, present Junior class- presi
dent, and Joe iting, president 01
the sophomore class last year.
Among the girls the Interest is keen
for the job of song leader. With
the student body constitution re
quiring a majority of all votes cast
to bring election and with five
candidates up for song leader, it Is
likely that a second election will be
necessary.
Faculty members who have paid
student body dues are entitled to
vote at the A. S. B. elections and
according to the reports about the
school, the faculty members are
taking as much interest in the pres
ent election as the students them
selves.

council Tuesday morning final
election plans were discussed. It
was also reported that the A. S. B.
fund has been increased nearly $100
as the result of the high school day

FOR KIDNAPING
MORROW GIRL
Boston, (A1) The Boston Post in
a copyrighted story today lays
Dwight W. Morrow, ambassador to
Mexico ana lamer oi Anne Mor
row, fiancee ot Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh, has been made subject
of a $50,000 extortion plot The mo
ney, the Post asserts, was demanded
under penalty ot torture and death
ot his youngest daughter, 15 year
old Constance Morrow, a student at
Milton academy.
The newspaper says it has learned
that the receipt by the girl of two
threatening letters was directly re
sponsible for last Saturday's secret
flight by Lindbergh and members
of the Morrow family from the
Morrow home at Englewood, N. J.
to their summer place at North
Haven, Me.
It was also responsible for the de-
tectlve guard which has since stood
vigil over the island retreat ot the
Morrows in Maine and for tne im
personation of Constance by anoth-
er girl at the Milton academy while
Constance was being spirited away
to Join the airplane flight.
The Post declares it has learned
that when Miss Morrow received
the first letter she showed It to
school authorities. Her family was
notified and a guard assigned to
her. When the second demand was
made it gave detailed instructions
how and where the money was to
be placed and named last Saturday
afternoon as uie tune.
At this Juncture Mr. Morrow's
former partners in the firm ot J. P.
Morgan and company were appealed
to and the services o: leaerai oper
atives were enlisted, but although
Miss Morrow's impersonator ad
hered strictly to the instructions no
one appeared to claim tne package,
HOSS' DECISION
TO BRING SUIT
The possibility of a suit against
the state board oi control oy some
state-aided institution caring for
orphans and foundlings loomed
Tuesday because ot a decision by
Secretary of State Hoss to follow
the letter oi one o: tne liKzs legis
lative appropriation bills.
The original act providing lor a
per capita state appropriation of
$16 a month for the care of In
mates of state-aided institutions
provides that the allowance shall
hold for each inmate up to 17
years old. The appropriation bill of
the 1929 legislature reduces the
age to under 16. The change made
In the bill was admittedly done in
advertently. Attorney General van
winkle takes this view of It In an
opinion asked for by Carl Abrams,
secretary -of the state board of con:
trol; and he advises that the mon
ey be allowed on the old basis
Secretary Hoss agrees that the
change made In the bill was a cler
ical error and thinks the lnstitutl
tions are entitled to the usual al
lowance, but refuses to audit the
claims on that basis notwithstand
ing the attorney general's opinion.
The ground for his action is that
the money has not been provided by
the legislature.
Default and Judgment order al

bank of Salem against S. .Paul

reconsideration of the vote whereby
the contract was awarded him.
