Sir Lyman Duff, chief justice of the supreme court, took over the duties of administrator of the dominion which is engrossed in both war with Germany and a federal election scheduled for March 26. The death of the governor-geeral, who had been unconscious since an hour after his fall at residence in Ottathe wa, raised no serious political problems. He was serving only a five year term that would have expired this summer, and had indicated his intention of retiring to his native Scotland then. It was believed court circles in London already had a successor in mind, Lord Elgin and the Duke of Devonshire having been most prominently mentioned. Lord Tweedsmuir, formerly John Buchan, a renowned scholar and author, was elevated to the peer post-offic- e. Postmaster General James A. Farley has consented to announce for president regardless of Mr. Roosevelts plans. Gamerites are insisting, however, that they will be able to force Mr. Roosevelt to reveal his plans.

But this week end he gave permission for his name to be entered in the April 30 Massachusetts presidential primary. Welcome Move Gamer men welcomed the move although ft fell short of the hoped-fo- r direct challenge to Mr. Roosevelt Some of Farley's associates, however, are confident he would actively oppose the renomination of Mr. Roosevelt although he, himself,' would not seek the nomination if the president tried again. In that event, Farley delegates probably would be delivered to Sec-to retary of State Cordell Hull or Gamer or any other conservative who would have their support and Mr. Roosevelts as welL On the Republican front, some party leaders predicted today their national convention might be on July 4 and that choice of a convention city lay between Chicago and Philadelphia The Republican national committee will select the place and the date when it meets here Feb. 16.

The purpose of the Open Forum, according to those is to give public informa- -- tion on topics of interest of the day to everybody, without taking any stand for or against any move presented. The Forum is purely an educational institution, and is interested in all sides of whatever question is of upper- most interest to the public at any time. Since technocracy as a movement has made considerable headway in the United States during the past few years, and since no opportunity has ever before been given to the Logan public to hear the message of technocracy from an authorized representative of the movement, it is felt that everybody should avail themselves of this opportunity to hear this interesting subject discussed. No admission to the lecture will be charged and everybody is cordially invited to attend. NORRIS REQUESTS MORAL EMBARGOES WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (I'Rt Sen. George W.

No one could claim that that would constitute an unfriendly act cause there would be no act of government involved. Norris will oppose legislation authorizing the president to impost embargoes on the ground that such action might tend to draw this country into the European war.
