FOR REELECTION
Prosecuting Attorney viii Seek
Republican Nomination

Prosecuting Attorney Anthony Luz
cas- OF Calumet today announced his
candidacy FOR the Republican nominal
ton for reelection al the forthcoming
August primary. While the announce
ment has been delayed, owing 10 the
pressure Of business in the prosecu-
tors Office during the past month. it
has been quite generally expected Mr.
Lucas would enter the race. and to-
days announcement is hardly sur
prising. II makes il certain there will
be a three-cornered fight for the Re-
publican nomination, however. there
being two others already in the race.
Attorney W. J. Galbraith Of Calumet
and Attorney Joseph n. Hambitzer OF
Houghton.
Mr.. Lucas is completing his first
term in the Office, a period during
which the prosecutors office was call
ed upon To handle more work than in
any single previous term in the his
tory Of the county. An instance of
this responsibility is found in the
report recently made public for the
first six months Of the year showing
a total of So cases prosecuted in the |
county during this period. Mr.. Lucas |
feels that his record in the ofice has
been such that he is entitled to the
Of the voters for re-
it being the custom in this !
county TO give the prosecuting attor-
ney AT least two terms.
The prosecutor plans to conduct an |
active campaign for the nomination
and his primary petitions will be cir
sulatcd at an early date.

Especial Correspondence

Washington, Aug. 19.-Democratic
leaders are convinced that the effect of
the war in Europe is going to be helps
tut to their party in the pending cam
paign but they are not beyond worry on
the score of politics nevertheless. The
ing them anxiety.
Nobody knows how long the war will
last or how long it will be needful to
impose wartime taxes. Even after
actual fighting in Europe is suspended,
it is impossible to forecast how long 1t
will take the stricken countries in
which the war RACES most savagely,
and which will be enormously impover-
ished by the war, to recover and begin
to send their exports to America in
anything like normal volume.
Delay Is Opposed.
However, the democratic leaders per-
ceive that it will not do to let the
treasury run behind for several mont ms
And while some of the democratic pol
iticians are urging that war taxes be
held back until after election, it seems
improbable this course will be taken.
The economic unwisdom of it is appar
ent and the political wisdom of it
doubtful. Senator Simmons. chairman
Of the finance committee. is one of the
leaders who wants prompt action.
Various forms of taxation are under
discussion. Once any bill is brought
to the floor especially in the senate. it
is likely to be much modified.
Increase of taxes on liquor and to-
bacco meets with strong favor in both
houses.
No Tax on Tea and Coffee.
On the other hand, there is strenuous
objection to imposing Increased taxes
on food products. The proposal to /;
tea and coffee is not likely to be
adopted. considering the widespread
complaint over the increasing cost OF
living. $50
The plan of changing the income tax
law so as To secure more revenue from
that source meets with considerable
support in congress. 1t is suggested
that the revenue from income tax be
by reducing the minimum in
come which is liable to taxation to
$1,000 or $500. This would add largely
to the revenues. Politically, there is
objection to it, TO lower the minimum
of the exemption limit would mean that
great number of people now untaxen
on incomes would have to pay, anu
paying taxes never is popular. In TINS
connection. ii is proposed to Increase
the percentage of tax on incomes which
are already liable.
In the end. the leaders on the demo-
cratic side will try to figure out meth
DDS OF raising more revenue which Will
be Objectionable to as few people as
possible.

WOLVES ARE HARD TO TRAP.
Bait Must Be Handled Only With OIL
Soaked Gloves

Wolves are the most difficult of all
animals to trap, and It Is usually by
working upon their uncomfortable cur
losity that they are most easily de-
ceived. The campfire set is one of
the best. When q man makes camp in
the forest the wolves. if there are any
near, are sure to note his Wherea bouts.
When ne has gone they trot up 10 in
vestgate the ground. and with due
caution pick up any scraps he may
have left lying aDout. The Campfire
set is made as follows: First, hollow
ont an oblong hole in the ground Just
large enough to take the trap, and per-
haps five inches deep. Cover the traI
with sheet of brown paper, and over
this fill the hole with damp earth
Then light fire on the top of it. and
into the fire, as it grows low, throw d
few scraps of raw meat.
Should a wolf come along to inves-
tgate the place. he is sure to scent the
cooked meat, and will start scratching
In the ashes for it, thus, of course
springing the trap.
One Of the greatest difficulties II
! wolf trapping is to hide the aforesaid
teltale scents, so keen is their sens
of smell. The traps must never b.
handled with the naked fingers. OLE
gloves, soaked in oil or fat, are used

then inclose it in a paper bag--H

PACKERS ASK FOR SQUARE DEAL
Say Advance in Meat Prices Is Due
Solely to Shortage.

Washington. Aug. 19-The packing
interests Yesterday made representa-
tons to the government thru Senator
Lewis asking for fair deal and for
a cessation OF the agitation which has
a tendency to inhame the minds Of the
people"
The packers protest that the big
shortage. in live stock. and not the
European war. is responsible for the
conditions They point to decrease OF
10 per cent in cattle and hog receipts
at all the packing centers in July.
r. E. Wilson, president of Morris q,
Co, Chicago, sent message to Sena
tor Lewis thru Luther NJ Walter, a
Chicago LAWYER, as follows:
"A critical situation for the industry
is being created thru statements being

they have contracted to deliver to Tor
