AuLT, THE PERUVIAN,
 ANSWERS WESTGARD

A. l.. Westgard, the transcontinen- tai traveller who visited Yuma several days ago in an auto, and, arriving at 11:00 o'clock at night, claimed that he was unable to secure ferry trans portation across the Colorado at that hour and was compelled to wait until the next morning.
 Regarding the above, the Examiner saw MT. Ault, of Hill & Ault, the ferry nen, and MT. Ault positively stated that MT. Westgard did not wake him, and he knew nothing of his arrival until the next morning, when every haste consistent with the safety of the passengers in very heavy car was made.
 MT. Ault is of the opinion that had MT. Westgard been familiar with the treacherous antics of the Colorado, he would have been unwilling to cross the river at night, for at the time MT. Westgard arrived the ferry landing Wdo OuIll0ly Ndou0u away dlu IL I0 quired two hours next morning to get it back in place and properly banked for heavy travel
 Hill & Ault are thoroughly of the opinion that the kick of MT. West gard was entirely unjustified, due to ignorance of the difficult condition under winch ferrying the Colorado is conducted. For the time being, it is presumed that MT. Westgard had forgotten that ferrying in New York and in Arizona are different problems and then some, when the Colorado is considered.
 MT. Westgard and MT. Ault had war of words which somewhat strain ed matters and MT. Westgard tooF the matter before the Commercial Club, who in turn referred it to the City Council. Hill & Ault claim that it is their desire at all times to serve the public to the very best of their ability and people who reside here and use the ferry consistently are their best friends, which is sufficient answer to MT. Westgard.

WHO INVENTED PARCEL POST
 TOLD IN OUR WASHINGTON CHAT

last year, appears in the measure now before the senate, introduced by MT Clapp. It provides rigid control of the activities of political interests, and also curtails the work of such or ganizations as the National Associa- ton of Manufacturers, the American Federation of Labor, and the Nation al Association of Woman's Suffrage.
 It appears that these are organi- cations which have been the chief offenders heretofore. The bill pro libits the carrying or sending of funds from one state to another to be used in the election of president, vice presi- dent, presidential electors, or con yressmen.
 The senate has passed the bill with put debate. The underlying theory is that the financing of campaigns in a secret manner by organizations or individuals should be prevented The proposed new law does not affect the methods of the regularly organized campaign committees, so long as they make reports of contributions and ex- penditures during the national cleo ton.
