row SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS
CONTROL ALL LEGISLATION.

Democratic campaign managers are
trying to evade the charge that under
democratic administrations the con
troll of the important committees is In
the hands of members from the south.
They acknowledge that the import
ant chairmanships are held by south
ern members, but assert that a ma
jority of the members are northern
ers. They are silent on the fact that
safe majority of each important
committee is democratic and that
majority of the democratic members
are from the south, so that by holding
a democratic conference first, and
binding the democratic membership,
they can control the entire committee.
Take, for instance, the house COM
mittee on rules, which holds almost
al solute control over the vital ques-
tons whether any important bill shall
have consideration at all That com
mittee has IL members, of whom are
democrats and republicans. The
democrats are from Texas, North Car
DINA, Tennessee, Illinois, Kentucky,
Mississippi and New York--5 from the
south and from the north Mani

ence can not outyote the S. And so

returns from the election next month
The producers of lead are in better
position than those of zinc, in tina,
there has been no extensive new de
IpGsits of lead discovered and no in
crease in production beyond grow
lag demand which promises to be
permanent The opening of the lead
mines in Mexico, however, would rad
irally change TIE situation, and under
the present tariff schedule the lead
miner would suffer along with the pro-
Queer Of zinc In that situation there
would be no 81 bonus to lead and zine
miners in the Occur d'Alenes, and
they would be fortunate to obtain
steady employment at the standard
rate of wages. The present high price
of lead is due almost wholly to DOM
este demand, as exports have been
light during the last month or more.
This situation draws attention to the
importance of the home market and
the necessity of ample protection
against competition with the poorly
paid labor of Mexico
Along with the high prices of zinc
and lead, factor of great Importance
to Occur dAlene operators is the ad-
vance in the price of silver. The lead
and zinc of this district is invariably
accompanied by silver, and an in
crease of almost 20 cents per ounce
in the price means a substantial in
crease in profits without additional
operating expense According to the
best authorities silver is destined to
remain at the present level and pos
sibly continue its upward move to rs
cents or better,
Altogether the mining industry of
the Occur d'Alene district is in a
tightly prosperous condition, and if
the people by their votes demand that
this and other industries of the coun-
try receive the protection to which
they are entitled. the period of pros

TAFT TELLS TRUTH ABOUT
HUERTA.
est. Louis Globe-Democrat

Nol' Louis lODe-DemOcrat)
When Secretary of War Baker un-
fairly sought to place responsibility
upon Mr.. Taft for President Wilson's
laundering in Meico, the Globe Dem
ocrat said that even the patience and
good humor Of Mr.. Taft has it's limit
atoms, and that they had probably
been reached by such tactics. In the
current number of the Yale Review
the former president dealing with our
Mexican and other foreign relations,
comes very near a use of the short and
ugly word in this polite sentence: II
am surprised that Secretary Baker
seeks to justify President Wilson's re-
fusal to recognize Huerta by saying
that / refused to do So This is very
far from the fact" He then reaches
and flips out the kernel of truth in
the nut by saying: Ambassador Will
son advised recognition of Huerta,
after securing from him action upon
the rightful claims of the United
States in matters of dispute, and of
her citizens for injuries sustained by
them. Had the republican administra-
ton continued it would have recogniz-
ed Huerta"
In this close following of the logic
of events, and of his own argument
the former president renders a distinct
public service. Huerta, having taken
action desired by the United States,
and being "the only official de facto
or de jure, exercising real power in
Mexico for law and order" Mr.. Taft
says that nothing but courtesy due to

"STAY OUT ALL WINTER"
New York SUM

Mr. Gompers was in Washington
yesterday, perhaps to visit the scene
of the brotherhood's triumph over
cowardice and to pray that he may
lind another executive so craven as
to yield at sight of the pistol
But Mr. Gompers heart was in New
York, in sympathy with the sympathy
strike that is threatened He was
thinking of the 100000 WHO, he be-
iieves, will leave work at the word
next Wednesday,.
"fhey will stay out all winter if
that is found necessary to win their
fight for the right to organize" That
is not the fight of course, for 1t is a
night to force others to organize. but
the phrase stay out all winter" is in
teresting.
Does Mr.. Gompers believe that the
$4,000 workers could stay out of work
all winter and still live? Does he be-
lleve that they, backed by all the
treasury of his organization. could
subsist for even three months? Does
ne believe that even the richest city
III the world could, if it would, support
all winter the 100000 idlers and their
dependents for the sole purpose of
cropping up the autocracy of which
ne is the head?
Stay out all winter! In the COM

There is feeling among republic

the first place the party has a ticket
that is deserving of support from ton
To bottom. Every candidate is thor.
oughly qualified for the position he
seeks. and free from the slightest sus-
ptcion of being influenced or contron-
ed by interests that would subordinate
public service to private gain. The
entire ticket is made up of candidates
whose records in private life and in
official positions appeal to the great
mass of voters whose one desire is TO
elect officers whose only aim is to
render faithful and efficient service
The county ticket is strengthened
by a state ticket of exceptional merit.

LABOR VOTE IN MAINE AND
WHAT IT SIGNIFIES.

Commenting upon the defeat of
Daniel McGillicuddy, the distinguish
ed democrat, who has long represented
the second Maine district, the New
York Times, an independent paper,
which is supporting Wilson, has this
to say;
The lesson is evident The labor
vote is cast just as other votes are
cast. Trucking to it, abashing ones
party before it, does not win 1t. The
mechanics of Bath and Auburn voted
on the issues of the day, just as did
the farmers of oxford county. Mr..
Hughes demonstrations of the strike
settlement, even his apparent hostility
to the S-hour principle, did not avail
to arouse the unions of Sagadahoc
against him. The congressman who
voted for the strike law did not an
mex to their following a body of yot-
ers voting blindly to reward any one
who might coddle them at the expense
of the public. The union labor men Of
Maine are indicated from this charge
made by those who regarded 1t not as
charge but as a compliment There
is lesson, too plain to miss, for poll
ticians all over the country
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-10-05

Both state and county tickets gather
strength from the high character,
commanding ability and strong per-
sonality of the candidate for president.
Upon him the party is united and the
certainty of his election grows more
apparent every day. With such a
leader on the national ticket, state
ticket that is proof against all at
tack, and county ticket made up of
men and women of real worth and
rnquestioned qualifications. the citi-
zen who desires to make his vote
count for all that is best in govern
ment win support the republican ma
tional, state and county tickets with
out variation.

Governor Alexander does not an
pear to be in harmony with the demo-
cratic state central committee as at
present organized. He seems to be
making his own campaign in his own
way without regard to the state or

quarters that the powers that control

nothing for the fate of Alexander. bur

ELEcTRoLYTIc ZINC.

Anaconda's electrolytic zinc refinery
at Great Falls is making good pro-
gress, the second section, out Of five
having been set to work this week. 1t
is expected that the entire plant will
be in operation early in November,
producing $500 tons of spelter per
month The first section, using 144
cells or tanks Is yielding daily from
20 to rs tons of catholics, which are
sent to Anaconda to be melted, the
furnaces required for this purpose at
Great Falls not having been complet-
ed. Another electrolytic zinc plant
that at Trail, across the line in Brit
ish Columbia, is now producing 26
tons of spelter per day and Is in
creasing this output as the stages of
construction are slowly completed to a
capacity of 100 tons daily. The cleo
tro- chemical process is the same at
Great Falls as at Trail, and in each
the product is a metal of great purity,
which is destined to command the
market for high grade spelter. In
both localities also the cheapness of
production is conditioned on the low
price of electrical energy, the power
plants being controlled by the smelt-
ing companies themselves.

most of the metal will be used in the
manufacture of brass. Up to Septem-
Der 20 the exports of zinc for the

tons. In addition to this there Is
great activity among the manufactur-

both foreign and domestic demand,

likely that the spectacular price of

suit of the demands of war will ever

that the present level of prices may bo

Under the influence of the great de-

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. SO.-New
evidence for Billings was submitted
in five affidavits read to Superior
Judge Dunno by Maxwell McNutt,
Billings attorney, in an effort to
obtain new trial. The suitcase
was seen at Stewart and Market
streets, where the explosion occurred,
as early as 1880 on the afternoon OF
the parade, w. NJ. Taylor and William
Kimberlin declared in two affidavits.
The prosecution claimed that Billings
arrived at the corner few minutes
before the explosion occurred at 2;06
o'clock. Two affidavits said that
Billings was not the man who
climbed to the roof of 72l Market
street, where the prosecution said he
carried suitcase before planting i
against the building at the corner

CAMPAIGN COST
MILLION AND HALF

(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.--A fund Of
$1.500,000 will be required to conduct
the Democratic national campaign,
according to statement made here
by Henry Morgenthau, treasurer Of
the national campaign committee. He
said New York was expected to con-
tribute about one-third of this
amount, which exceeds by about
100000 the sum spent in the 1912
campaign.
AS an example of the increased
cost of the present campaign, Mr..
Morgenthau said that the printing bill
alone would be three times as much
as 1t was in 1912 because Of the in
creased price Of paper. He announced
that contributions thus far received
exceeded by 65 per cent those which
had been sent in up to the same date
in 1912. There have been several
contributions of $4,000 each, but only
three of more than that amount, he
said.
