oLngY NOT MAKING SLATE

PHOENIX, Aug 3. = 1t has been
claimed by some that Geo. Olney, can
didate for governor on the democratic
ticket, was making slate of candi-
dates for the legislature and other Of
fices who were favorable to him and
endorsed the platform on which he was
running.
Mr. Olney stated that he is not MAX
ing any slate but is attending strictly
TO his own campaign. Neither he or
his friends are lining up any candi-
dates in his favor or to run on his plat
form. He has stated in his platform
where he stands on some of the leading
issues that are before the people of this
state He is against special legislation
of every sort and especially against
special mine tax legislation that favors
the big inines and is detrimental to all
,other interests of the state.
Mr.. .Olney said: II am running on
a platform that l believe all fair
minded people can endorse and 'espe-
cially all those who are affiliated with
the democratic party. I believe in JUS
tice and equal rights to all. l am
against class legislation of every sort
and cordially invite the cooperation of
which l am running. ! am seeking the
nomination for governor as demo-
crat, and if / am nominated and elect
ed 1 promise that will not be par
tisan governor but that will be the
governor of and for all the people of
the state of Arizona"

NO BASKETS FOR THE POOR,
DESPITE EFFORTS OF BURG,
SCOTT AND RAGEN
There will be no Thanksgiving
baskets for the poor from the county
board this. year, despite the efforts
Of County Commissioners Ragen,
Burg and Scott to keep alive the Gus
tom of years.
Ragen presented a motion yester-
day at the board meeting providing
a basket for all families on the coun-
ty agents list. President Pete Rein
berg said it had been decided no bas-
kets would be given and he had the
majority to back him up. F.
There was no plea of shortage of
funds, but ReinbeFg said there would
be larger baskets Christmas. Ragen
wanted to know what good a larger
basket Christmas would do a hum
cry person Thanksgiving.
you fill your fat stomach five or
six times a day and you don't care
what happens to the poor people,
Ragen shouted at the president.
Reinberg retorted, and for a time
the old three-cornered fights between
Ragen, Burg and A. A. Mccormick
were recalled.

Brand Lodges Statement
As Deliberate FalsehOOd

Long Brank, N. j., Oct. 3l,-Presi
Jas "untrue' the statement made by
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa'
chusetts to the effect that the presi'
dent had seriously considered adding
a weakening postscript to his Lusi
tania note.
The president telegraphed to Walter
Lippmann of New York, editor of the
New Republic, replying to message
from Mr.. Lippmann regarding Senator
Lodge s statement.
Telegram is Denial
The president s telegram follows:
Gin reply to your telegram let me
say that the statement made by Sena-
tor Lodge is untrue. No postscript or
amendment to the Lustania note was
ever written or contemplated by me ex-
eept such changes that | myself In
serted which strengthened and empha-
sized the protest. 1t was suggested af-
ter the note was ready that proposal
for arbitration would be acceptable
and one member of the cabinet spoke
to me about it, but 1t was never dis
cussed in cabinet meeting and no threat
of any resignation was ever made, for
the very good reason that | rejected the
suggestion after giving it such consid-
Grafton as ] thought every proposal de-
served which touched so grave a mat
ter.
"It was inconsistent with the pur'
pose of the note. The public is in pos
session of everything that was said to
the German government
