!. N- Turner Near Egger Is Making
 Good on His Farm

BOUGHT THE OLD HOME BACK.
N. II. Leonard Buys Back His Farm,
 but Pays Premium.

M Il. Leonard. who recently sold his farm northeast of Egger and had since been' looking over the country for new location, finally concluded to re-locate near Egger. Thru the agency of kelly-Stratt0n co. he closed a deal Tuesday for the purchase of the J. M Laekey farm north of Egger. it is interesting to note in this connection that Mir Leonard formerly owned this farm having sold it about four years ago, but after making investigation in ather paris of the county and else- where. he found nothing that suit ed him better, so he bought the old farm back, paying a nice premium above what he sold 1t for four years ago

LABOR LEADERS RALLY TO WILSON
Wage Farmers Advised to Co to the Polls to Protect Their Interests Against Wall Street-No War
 but |. $. Has All Benefits.

Washington Oct, 22.-Organized labor's first official appeal to its membership in behalf of President "A llsnn's re-eleetlon was made nllh- ne yesterday at the American Fed eratlon of Labor headquarters. II IS III the form of a circular letter to all officers of organized labor. calling on them to hold special meetings. If necessary. to consider the issues oi the campaign and see to It that wage earners go to the polls to protect their interests against Wall Street
 The letter is signed by Samuel Gompers. president; James O'Con- nell, vice president, and Frank Nor rlson. secretary. and 1t has been sent to the heads of all affiliated organi- cations.
 It's Labor Vs. Wall Street"
 Never at any time within the last ilfty years have the workers had more at stake in any political cam palgn than in the one that is to be decided in the election November 7.'' the letter says. During the pres ent administration, and particularly m this campaign, there has been de- veloped a elear-cut issue between the workers-the producers = and those who manipulate the products Of the labor of others-the exploit CTS. The issue is represented in the campaign by the conflicting inter- ests represented by labor and Wall Street.
 The dignity of human life and the value of the cooperation of those whose work is necessary to the processes of industry and com meree have been given an important place in considering all problems that concern the Nation. This recog- hilton has taken the form of legis- iatlOn necessary to protect the in- terests of wage earners and in the ideals of humanity that have guided and directed national policies, both at home and in our relations with other nations.
 Kept Us Out of War.
 Although half of the world has been involved in terrific conflict and it seemed at times as tho our Nation must be drawn into the vor- tex of human slaughter, yet the chief executive of our land has been able to manage the affairs of the Nation and the interests of our cit izens so that, without the horrors of war, he has established and main tained protection of human life and human rights in the somewhat vague domain of international law. Without involving this Nation in war. he has secured for us all of the protection and all of the benefits that would have accrued from a successful international war.
 More Recognition for Labor.
 50 far as the internal affairs of our country are concerned. in the last four years there has been en- acted by Congress and signed by Wilson humanitarian pro- tective legislation unprecedented in amount and scope Legislative en- actment has secured to wage earn CTS fundamental rights necessary for the very existence of the Organlza- tions of labor without which wage earners would have nothing of free dom and no real opportunity for self-betterment."

DECLARES HUGHES
 FAVORS WALL ST.
William G. McAdoo Says the Repub- licans Will Repeal Federal Re- serve Act and Create Central
 Bank-RoOSevelt Influence.

Chicago. Oct. IS. Praise for Pres ident Wilson's diplomatic and legis- lative achievements and charges that Wall Street has always dom mated the Republican pa tss, ana that victory for that party next month would endaneer the counlry's prosperity were voiced in an ad- dress by William c. McAdoo. sec retary of the treasury, "Wednesday.
 The American people are being asked to put ill peril the peace and prosperity the country is now en- toying by President Wilson by turn ing over to the inexperienced Mir. Hughes. and the organized band of incompatible elements which are supporting him." said Mir. McAdoo.
 For two months they have con- demned every act of the Democratic administration in the most unfair and untruthful manner, but the American people are still without a definite answer from MT. Hughes as to what they will do with the gov ernment if they get possession of it.
 The only definite thing we have had in the campaigning came from Colonel Roosevelt, who said at Rat tie Creek, discussing the Lusitania You ask me what l would have done. l would have seized every in- termed German ship.
 War Declaration Quoted.
 Mr. McAdoo then quoted Ger many's declaration of war on portu- gal because of seizure of German ships by that country. and added:
 MT. Rooseyelt's action would have resulted in war between the United States and Germany. And now comes Mr. Hughes and admits, as far as he is ever definite. his ac- cord with the bellicose attitude of Mir. Roosevelt This is shown by his reply at Louisville to the question as to what he would have done in the Lusitania case. He said in sub stance, that he would have threat ened the kaiser so effectively that the Lusitania would never have been sunk. 1 challenge him to an- swer that question.
 "Whe an doubt that if Mr. Hughes IS made president, Mr, Roosevelt will be the dominating in- tluence and direct our foreign and domestic policies?
 "A president has it in his power to plunge the country into war at any moment. A single misstep or rash act. or blunder on his part is all that is necessary"
 Taking up domestic affairs, MT. McAdoo said that the Democratic administration had destroyed the system by which "the reserve money of the banks of the country were concentrated principally in New Iory City" He believed that Mir. Hughes, If elected, intends to re- peal the federal reserve act and establish a central bank because the Republican party has always stood for Wall Street and central bank"
 The demand of Wall Street for a central bank will be gratified if the Republicans regain control of the government he added. The sec retary said that if MT. Hughes stands by his party platform he must either repeal or substitute something for the farm loan law"

THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY
COL. HOUSE |S LIKELY TO MAKE
 ANOTHER TRIP
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

BERLIN, (Via London)-May 26.- Another visit by Colonel E. M. House to Europe would come as no surprise to initiated quarters here. The Ameri- can rumors to this effect are regarded as having a certain basis in fact, all though the opinion prevails that the trip would naturally be made only with the tacit approval of the belliger- ents.
 It has been hoped here that should Colonel House pay such a visit he will come this time as a hamburger of peace, or at any rate, to prepare, if possible, the foundations for a peace proposal, difficult as this task is rec ogniZed to be.
 During his last previous visit to Europe, Colonel House made no effort, and conducted no investigation in the direction of DeaCe-in Berlin at any rate-having perhaps found absolutely adverse conditions. Presumably also, he had previous information that American mediation was not desired and it would net be accepted as the United States continued to supply
 
 shell, cartridges, powder and a thou sand and one other requisites for wag- ing war against the central powers. Moreover no animation has been giv- en at the time of this visit that the irascibility in high quarters here on the intuition traffic has in any way aEatCd.
 The situation it may be said. now has changed Apparently there is no sign from either political or strategial standpoint, in sight that Germany would welcome peace, as Arthur Von | Gwinner the managing director of the | Deutsche bank in Berlin, stated to The 1 Associated press correspondent recent l Fly, Germany is in the position of a l poker player who has gathered in all | the money on the table and naturally | is wiling to break off an all-night ses- | sion and retire with his winnings l while the others persist in continuing ! in the hope of recOuping some of theiI losses The cards. however, to con- tinue the simile. are running strongly 1 in the Germans favor it is pointed 1 out, as shown in the renewed post ponement of the long heralded Anglo | French offensive in the west, the steady, though slow progress of th' crcwn price at Verdun. the victorie: of the Turks and finally the crushins results of the Austrian offensive in tht
 Trent vicinity
 That the events are enough to in ducc the entente allies to retire iron what is looked upon here as a losins game, is an uncertain factor in tn reckoning.
 The hest posted neutral observe here. particularly diplomats in toucl
 with the officers in both camps arr
 inclined to give negative answer t
 these questions.

CONDITION IF HILL
 |S SATISFACTORY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

ST. PAUL, Minn., May 26-The condition tonight of James j. Hill was reported as satisfactory" by Dr. James H. Gilfallan, of St Paul, who. with Dr. William James Mayo, of Rochester, Minn., made a careful ex- animation of the aged railroad builder today.
 As a result of the consultation be- tween Dr. Mayo and Dr. Gilfillan. it was decided not to operate upon MT. Hill. and tonight Dr. Mayo, who ar rived in St Paul aboard a special train late this afternoon, returned to Rochester.
 MT. Hill was stricken May 1G with bowel complaint which later de- veloped complications.
 It is understood Dr. Mayo was called in case an operation should become imperative. Attending phy- sicians are loathe to advise an opera tion on account of Mir. Hnfs ad- vanced age. He was 7S years old a few months ago.
 Dr. Mayo four days ago examined Mir Hill and said the complaint was a common one and that he would soon recover.
 MT Hills present condition is at | tributed to bad teeth, poison from which is said to have reached the bowels.

see it's way clear to send back the SG0 cattle recently smuggled across here and at Langs ranch, General Gales things tha1 the government should at least see that the duty is paid in full
 If something like this is not done, General Gales will insist that all cat tie he kept Is or 20 miles below the border. In such a case, it would be the American owners of large cattle ranges on the Mexican side along the border who would suffer.
 The state duty placed by General l Gales on cattle, recently amounts of $12.50 gold on yearlings, and S15 on two year olds and $2O on three year l olds.
 | In addition to this there is a fed 1 eral duty which is SEQ gold for cows, l BIO for male yearlings and S15 for 1 bulls and steers.
 The Mexican federal government will establish several exchange offices along the international boundary at which new Carranza currency will be received and exchanged for American gold at par, ten cents on the pesos.
 This announcement was contained in 1 advices received from Hermosillc 1 today.
 Five million pesos of the currency,
 and a large reserve fund in American
 gold were received recently in Her

 porting the former. This plan will prevent depreciation of the money by American money spectators, it is
 claimed by government officials.

 He is reported to have had several thousand dollars in cash in his pos session when he left here.
 General Gales and Rafael Estrada held another long conference today on the Yaqui situation but nothing was made public regarding it.
 General F.

 General Gales issued the following statement today through Ives G. Le- levier. de facto consul here:
 General Gales believes he is en- titled to reciprocity in the cattle business.
 Tn the past where Americans have smuggled cattle into Sonora, he has ordered them sent back. He thinks the United States should act in the same spirit. If the authorities and the American cattlemen are not reaS- enable in the matter, it will be the American cattlemen who will lose. If the American government does not
