j. I. FLANAGAN ANNOUNCES
FOR TREASURER.

To the Voters of Leflore County:
Dear friends: AS you remember
/ made the race for County Treas
urer four years ago, and was de-
feated. | then intended to make
the race again this year; but on
account of bad crops and financial
embarrassment, could not enter
sooner, bat | am in now and
want your vote and assure you
| will not give you cause to regret
casting it for me.
| was born and raised near
where | now live, three miles east
of Greenwood. | have tried to do
my best in every good cause pre-
sented to me for citizen, county
or State or Church. My father
was member OF Company D. 5th
Mississippi Cavalry, and served
under Gen. Forrest. He died
during the war in 1865 leaving
my mother with three little chill
dren to battle through life; | was
one OF the three, the other two
dying soon after my father; SO of
course | did not have the chance
that some others have had to get
ali education, but | was taught by
my mother to be true to my fell
low man. If you should favor
me with the office | will do all |
can to protect the county and her
citizens. Hoping to see each
voter in due time, and then at
last abide by your decision.
Very Respectfully,
j. T. FLANAGAN.

The QuRkers were from RarnesviEe,

that they had been liberated" for the
purpose OF coming to Washington and

PAY OF WHITE WINGS
RESTS IN CONGRESS
Street Men to Get Increases II
Lawmakers Appropriate the
Money to Permit 1t.

Whether the pay OF the white wings"
will be increased during the next fiscal
year from $3.50 to $1.75 a day. depends.
1t was said by officials OF the District
Engineering Department today, upon
the amount appropriated by Congress
for work, OF this class.
The Commissioners, in their annual
estimates, made no specific ,ppovisiop
for the increase, but asked for an iE-
crease Of $4,000 for dust preyentlon,
cleaning and snow removals from which
such wages are paid. The board last
year asked for an increased appropria-
tion for this branch ofthe service. but
1t was not allowed, and the Commission
ers said they could not increase the pay
of the white wings without reducing
the force.
Citizens Favor Increase.
Efforts to obtain better pay for the
hand cleaning force were begun more
than year ago by William Nick. Clay
ton, chairman of The public utilities
committee OF the Federation Of Citizens
Association. When the Commissioners
were preparing their estimates last year
they received from President Wilson a
letter asking that the claims Of the
white wings" be given careful con-
sideration.

Distinguished Men Plead
For National Rally to
Insure Defense Measure

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.--Former Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Taft, the governors
of twenty-one States. three former
American ambassadors, and twenty-slX
other Americans prominent as educa-
tors. financiers, and politicians are
agreed that preparedness should be the
paramount issue before Congress and
that the policy OF the Government
should not become a party issue. Their
opinions were gathered and published
today in q symposium by the New York
World.
Colonel Roosevelt, though emphatic
in his statement that party lines should
be forgotten in the consideration OF pre-
paredness, was just as emphatic in de-
nouncing as mot even half measures"
the plans which President Wilson. Sec
retary of War Garrison, and Secretary
of the Navy Daniels are 70 submit TO
Congress.
II think that bOGh Republicans and
Democrats as we'll as Progress1ves
should put aside partisanship in the
matter and that Congress should reject
the utterly inadequate measures, not
even half measures, set forth In the
Presidents Manhattan Club speech,
said Roosevelt.
Among the governors quoted were
James Witkeycomo, Oregon; Ferris,
Michigan; Hunt, Arizona Cap.'er,
kansas; Hammond, Minnesota; Colds
borough. Maryland. and Walsh, MasSa-
Chusetts.

Swedish Legation Denies
Sending German Reports

The Swedish legation hasn't aided Am
bassador Won Bernstorn in sending coni-
Dental reports to Berlin; its increase In
cable business under private code has
been due to help given to Swedish
Arms: and the legation never had a
diplomatic mail pouch.
This was the answer returned TO-DAY
nv the legation to a morning neWspa-
per story that Minister Ekengren per,
mitted the German embassy to send
cable messages to Berlin via Sweden: IN
the same official code. and that when
the British censorship discovered thls
ruse.t the Swedish legation permitted
sending of German reports In the lesa'
