 George H. Estes: Fine: the appoint ments could not be improved upon
 E. G. Chandler; Suits me; l was for Jones. but Weatherly Is my friend, and IS good man"
 pr. B. L. Wyman: "The selection made couldn't be better"
 Gov. W D. Jelks: Admirable; Weatherly is fine man, although l had nothing against Jones'"
 Erskine Ramsay: The three men chosen are ideal.
 "They are men with ability and we know it. However, they must buckle down to work. This city is running short financially and it will require their uncea sing effort to steer the ship of state in a safe course"

NATIONS COMPLAIN ABOUT RECIPROCITY France Will Investigate Canadian Advantages JOHN BULL HAS IDEA Sir Edward Grey Makes Speech In- dicating England Will Ask For
 Treaty Similar to the Cana
 dian Agreement
JOHN BULL HAS IDEA

Paris, April 4.-At a meeting today of the joint commission on customs of the senate and chamber of deputies Deputy Bichon reported that lie believed that by the Americana Canadian reciprocity agreement the United tsates gave to Can ada advantages not accorded to France on variety of articles.
 Thereupon the commission instructed it's president to call the attention of the cabinet to this discrimination under the interpretation of the favored nation clause of the Francisco-American treaty for ex- animation and appropriate action.
 London, April 4.-Sir Edward Grey in- dicated in the house of commons today that the British government contemplates asking the United States to accord Great Britain the reduced duties granted to Canada under the American Canadian reciprocity agreement.
 Replying to the hectors who sought to draw him again into the much discussed subject, the foreign secretary said he was unable at present to make a definite statement but added significantly:
 There are. complicated points involved in the question of the most favored na- ton treatment now under examination. These must be settled before I can say what steps we shall take in laying our view of the matter before the United States government.
 Washington, April 1.-The favored na- tion clause of the treaties between the United States and other nations does not apply to the reciprocity agreement be- tween this country and Canada.
 This is the attitude of the President and 1t was explained today that it Is merely carrying out a consistent policy of the United States In interpreting the favored nation clause of its treaties. The trade pact between America and Can ada is a contract, or bargain. by which each country makes tariff concessions Other nations, it is pointed out, cannot be given these advantages except by sim. liar special agreements.
 This principle, it Is stated in official quarters, was laid down by the United States years ago when Germany claimed favored nation treatment on sugar in connection with the reciprocity treaty with Hawaii before that territory was an- nexed to the United States.

Merriam Not Supported

In spite of this both sides agreed that Merriam lost through faiulure of the ''silk stocking" wards to show the strength expected.
 Even in the Twenty fifth ward, where Merriam's candidacy was conceived. fail ure of Merriam supporters to vote caused the professors total to drop far below what had been expected.
 Harrison announced as soon as this ward reported he had won and prepared a statement After this ward had re- ported the result never was in doubt
 While the First ward gave up its usual democratic plurality. it was not alone from this and the river wards of similar character that Harrison drew his sup port. His eight years service in the mayors chair drew out many from the ranks his opponent had not counted on and his promise of 7O-cent gas was said by his managers to have had a great influence with the Westside wards where he showed unexpected strength
 One of the features of the campaign was the vote boiled by the socialists party. Fve-sixths of the total precincts the first in indicated that the vote would reach 24,O00, a gain of 11,0oo over the vote of four years ago On the other hand, the prohibition vote, which had been 5Slo four years ago, dropped to 300 this year.
 The first 13 precincts to report gave Merriam 20S1 and Harrison 116S. In these precincts Harrison was running ahead of Dunne's vote four years ago and was getting substantial figures in a strong Merriam ward, the Twenty-fifth.
 Harrison took the lead over Merriam after the first 100 precincts had been counted.
 One hundred and sixty-four precincts out of 1924 gives Harrison 1928 and Mer- riam 1S,224
 The first s72 precincts gave Harrison 45,56l and Merriam 42,373.
