GASOLINE DROPS CENT;
MAY BE FURTHER CUT
Price Decreased Throughout
State-Still Higher Than
in New Jersey

The predicted drop in the price Of gaso-
line In Pennsylvania was announced by all
the large oil companies in this State early
today. The new cost per gallon is "a cents
to consumers and % cents to dealers, maxi
ing reduction of 1 cent in the former
prices.
This good news for automobilsts follows
further reduction OF gasoline in the State
of New Jersey late yesterday. There prices
are decreased from "a cents TO 23 cents to
the consumer ard from 22 cents TO 81 cents
to garages. The movement of decline is
general throughout the country Reports
from various points in the United States
Indicate that n further cut may be expected
at any time Several reasons prompting
today's action were given by managers of
local branches Of the oil companies.
One manager said the new reduction in
New Jersey was directly responsible for the
cut. Motorists from Philadelphia and vlcin-
ity purchased gasoline in Camden at n
cheaper rate than here. An effort was made
to regulate the cost per gallon in Pennsyl-
MIA to agree with that of New Jersey, but
i. arrived too late.
Another manager pointed out the fact
that the price of gasoline was largely regu-
lated by the cost of crude oil. The recent
breaks in that market, included 5-cenE
drop reported early this morning in the
eastern markets, which quoted s2.35 for a
42-Eallon barrel The Oklahoma market
has in the last few weeks declined from
$l.55 to S115.

Bv PERRY ARNOLD

FARGO, N. D., Aug. 1o-Charles Evans
Hughes, from the effete East, Is out to
CAPTURE the farmer vote. The Republican
nominee got his first glimpse of hickory
shirts and the "gallus" as a presidential
candidate today
Fargo gave him a royal welcome.
Farmers from everywhere about came in
their automobiles to hear the former Justice
of the Supreme Court expound his doctrine
Of Republicanism.
Particular interest centered in Hughes's
appearance in North Dakota today because
Of the suspicion of politicians that the
@. osP. candidate is setting out deliberately
to kldnap North Dakota's famous Farmers
Non-Partlsan League.
Up In the Northwest this farmers al
liance represents new thing in politics
According to eX-Representative Manahan,
who stumped North Dakota recently for the
league. just before 1t carried the nominal
tion of virtually all its candidates in both
old parties at the primaries, the league will
again be successful in the fall elections so
far as the State ticket is concerned and win
eject professionals from control. Then,
according to Manahan, they will enact laws
for State-owned elevators. revision of the
tax laws, mutual insurance against hail
and other Progressive plans.
Sponsors for Hughes are hoping that the
Republican candidate will carry such
convincing message to farmers in North
Dakota today and tomorrow, that being al
ready well organized, they will swing that
strength to the G. o. P.
With such swing they count on further
farm strength from other States
Hughes has busy program today and
tomorrow Only two set speeches were
scheduled for today-at Fargo and Grand
Forks-but 1t was expected that the can
dldate would find opportunity for several
rear-platform talks The Governors voice
was Improved today and there was less
hoarseness although he plainly showed the
strain Of his campaigning. Despite the hot
weather the candidate still stuck manfully
TO his boiled" shirt, stand-up wing collar
and white vest, but in all OF his talks the
shirt, collar and vest wilted away In short
order.

To back up their threat to rock the boat

bassador to Great Britain.
After recitlng how at the first hearing
of the Congressional Union before the
House Judiciary Committee "the chairman
and some Of the members characterized
their actions by ill breeding. discourtesy
and gross injustice" Mrs. Hlles said:
THE sooner the women of this country,
more than half of whom are unrepresented
in Government, awaken to the fact that
this is the kind of unjust treatment to
which their most vital interests are sub
jected. the sooner will there rise. as in
deed it has arisen, n tide of action that
will put an end to such tactics. Individual
liberty is the essential basis Of free gov
ernment, and under our form of govern
ment both political expedlency and politl-
cal justice demand the national enfran-
chisement of women

centraton on the Federal amendment Un-
enable the most skeptical observer to sec
that the political power already in the
