WHO WROTE DEMOS
CAMP AIGN LETTER?
George E. Black, Committee
Member, Knew Moth
ing of 1t.

Leading Democrats of Tulsa have
been busy the past two days explain
ing that they had nothing to do with
the urgent" campaign letter mailed
out ostensibly by the finance commit
tee. and in which an appeal was made
to all Democrats to find anyone who
had not registered and send their
name and address to the county reg
istrar.
George F. Black, a candidate for
mayor before the recent municipal
primary. is one of those whose names
appears on the letter as a member of
the finance committee. 1t was learned
yesterday that Mr.. Black had nothing
to do with the getting out of the let
ter. one of his closest friends stated
that Black knew nothing about the
letter until one of them came to him
through the mails, and 1t is further
rumored that Mr.. Black. who is an
intelligent and wealthy citizen, was
indignant when he found that his
name had been used on such a crude
affair.
They Did II.
That the Democratic organization
is responsible for the letter. however,
there can be no doubt Rumor has it
that half of the employees at the
courthouse stayed in the building
several nights mailing out the letters.
1t is further stated that the mailing
list was secured from the registration
lists. In spite of the fact that the reg
istrar says he has not been able to
secure all OF the precinct books. In
fact, he failed to send a list of the
registered voters to the secretary Of
state. so that the latter might mail
to them printed arguments for and
against the literacy test and other
important laws to be voted on at the
August primary.
That letter is destined to live long
in the memory of intelligent citizens
OF Tulsa.

politicians will go when they find

chine that has kept them ensconced

SHORT WORK DAY
MADE MILLIONS
DECLARES FORD

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-"The eight
hour day has increased our earnings
by millions and made our men better
off," said Henry Ford in IN interview
with a local newspaper.
"I'm going to spread the gospel Of
the eight-hour working day." he said,
."by public announcements and by
public display Of actual figures and
statistics taken from the books of nv
own business.
when you get down to eight hours
you observe wonderful increase of
efficiency. When we put it into ef-
feet our product simply skyrocketed
in output. The men are full of eff
cheney, life, ginger. They feel this
way: We'll, here's eight hours of hus-
le. I'll hustle, and earn my fair wage,
and then I've got all the rest of the
time to myself. I can improve my
self. I'm not worn out, tied down.
I'm man."
At this point the motor-maker
operators.
"Tell them to diminish the weight
of their rolling stock. Use better,
lighter steel. There's plenty of it, and
it costs only a trifle more than the
bad, heavy stuff they now use. They
can cut the weight of their cars in
half, carry more freight and passen-
gers m ako moro roonev 11so lace f,,o1

taste in the United States than the
waste of weight in steel

$20,000,000 annually are expected by
the Cuba Cane .Supar corporation.
This, according to The Wall Street

quirements of the~prsferred stock and
means an annual surplus of $33 a
share on the common stock.
A circular issued by the company:
"F'or the immediate future, and prob
ably during the next few years, the
price of sugar may be expected to
hold materially above the average
figures of the past. The sugar mar
ket now forming for deliveries in the
coming year indicates that a price at
least as high as the average for the
past year should be realized for the

Early this week, Donaldson says
five men called on the Mare Island
commandant and said that unless
the affidavit was Strengthened out the
judge would issue warrant for my
arrest on a charge of perjury"
After repeated threats, Donaldson
asserts, the five, among whom was
Assistant District Attorney Edward
Cunha, took him to the. office Of
Mayor Rooney in Vallejo and made
him sign a new affidavit, repudiating
the one he had given to McNutt.
New Trial Refused.
''Cunha and Officer Hand stated
that unless I repudiated my affidavit
I would be arrested and held on such
bail that I couldn't get out. and Nc
Mutt would not be man enough to a,-
pear and bail me out" read Donald
sons affidavit. II never slept for two
nights worrying over the darn thing
he added. "Cunha insisted that I tell
him about the money end--how much
You had promised me or how much I
got from you. told him that J. had
never been offered any money or re-
ceived any money for my affidavit.
The original affidavit was correct to
the best of my knowledge"
Other affidavits favorable to Bill
i2gs were prr scented, but Judge Dunno
refused to credit them, refused a new
trial, and sentenced Billings to life
imprisonment
The convicted mans appeal that he
r. sent to San Quentin was denied by
the judge. He was granted a stay of
execution to allow his attorneys time
to file an appeal for new trial with
