woodrow Wilson to Rev. Thomas B.

ernor Of New Jersey.
The above extract from letter by
the president while governor OF New
Jersey was dug up here today IN con-
nection with Secretary Bryan's latest
declaration making prohibition ma
tional issue. 1t was written by the
president when asked to go on record
on local option. Every one who has
talked to him during the last few
days agrees that his sentiments are
unchanged. Under no circumstances,
in the opinion of men closest to MIN,
will the president endorse any move
ment designed to drag the liquor ques-
ton into the days political issues.
They say another phrase of the letter
shows this. In it the president wrote: :
81 am a thorough believer In local
self-government and believe that
every self-governing community
which constitutes a local unit should
have the right to control the matter
of regulation or the Withholding CT
license. The questions involved are
social and moral and are not suscept'
ible of being made parts of party
program. Wherever they have been
made the subject of party contests,
they have thrown every other ques-
ton, however important, in the back
ground and have made constructive
marty action impossible for long years
together
Az a matter of fact, it is stated,
that the only cabinet members who
believe prohibition is to be made

 Except for the Iron Mountain depot and tracks and the court house the entire town of Newport was flooded early Monday morn ing when the levee that protected the town, broke in six places, but the water was falling Monday night and all towns below on the White were making preparations to meet the flood.
 This city, as were all others on the Little Red. was partly fIood- ed Sunday and Monday. Both levees were under water Sunday and water from the river was on either side of Main street. The river fell about two feet here Monday night. Much damage has resulted to the bottoms farm lands from the flood.
