The state is not bankrupt by any means,
yet if it were a commercial corporation and did
not handle it's finances in a more businesslike
way some of its creditors would ask for a re-
ceiver. The state WINS property to the amount
Of $12, 600, 600. 1t has a bonded Indebtedness
of approximately S., $50, 900. The state convict
farms could be sold for enough money to pay
this bonded Indebtedness, leaving US SO, 000, 600
ahead in our state holdings.
It will require another years time to place
the new revenue measure in proper work
ing order. When the new board has worked
out a system of equalization that will place the
burdens of the state alike upon the shoulders Of
all then there will be no deficits and bond issue.
Our school funds can be increased, we can meet
our obligations to our public institutions, pay
our debts when due, and the people of the state
relieved of that continuous imputation which is
forever held before our faces through the state
press, that Mississippi is bankrupt and hasn't a
dollar in the treasury.

favor a more centralized control of our educational institutions in order that a greater economy may be ob- tained in their conduct and operation and better results obtained from the money expended in their behalf, and as an important step in this direction that politics should be eliminated from our state educational institutions.
 For Prohibition Enforcement
 We favor the strict enforcement of the prohibition law and such addition al legislation as will make it effective.
 An Appeal to All Good Citizens
 Finally in behalf of our national and congressional candidates we appeal to all of our citizens who are dissatisfied with the conduct of national affairs under the present administration and who regard with apprehension it's con- tinuance during the next four years. To the election of our candidates on our state and county tickets we invite the cooperation and assistance of those citizens who are dissatisfied with the administration of Governor Hunt and who believe with us that the over throw of the political machine built up by him throughout the state and the inauguration of an era of sound, sen sihle. efficient yet broad, liberal and progressive policies to be essential to the well being of the people of the | state

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico, Sept. 26.-An exploring column under Gen eral CavaZos encountered a body of Villistas west of Fresno a station on the Mexico Northwestern railway about ten miles out of Chihuahua City, but after an exchange of shots the Carrancistas retired to Fresno to await the coming of General Ramos with a body of cavalry. This is the report that General Cavazos made a special trip to town today to give to General Trey ino. There were no casualties, he said.
 Before taking up the pursuit of Villa. large cavalry forces paraded this city today with a view to impressing and reassuring the people These troops belong to the command of Gen eral Matias Ramos, who has under him General CavaZos, General Huerta Var gas and General Marrero.
 General Trevino states that large forces are on their way from southern points to the region where Villistas are reported and that he still has heavy reserves to draw on from other points in his territory.
 The secret police have arrested a number of Villista suspects in Santa Rosalia on the charge of doing propa- ganda work and trying to make polit- lcal capital out of the execution of Roque Gloria in Juarez. Vigorous measures are necessary in regard to such propaganda, said General Trey l inO, as much harm has been done through the circulation of rumors by Villista agents in various parts of the i state.
 Reports received at headquarters here from Cusi, Guerrero, and other
 western points say that everything is
 quiet there. Chihuahua has resumed
 it's normal appearance.

GLENDALE CORDIALLY MEETS
 THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES

"The present state administration is eXtravagant and it is inefficient. It has not made gOod' MT. Campbell de- clared. Tt has been the cause of prac- tically breaking the state of Arizona. Today, with five months intervening before the next state taxes are paid there is but little over $500 in the general fund And this, too, on top of the fact that there was more than $l00, 900 in the fund when the admin istration went into office
 "The cost of running the state has increased 300 per cent under demo- cratic rule What is there to convince the people that this increase has been iustifiable?" he continued, We are all stockholders in tine big corporation. the state of Arizona, and as such we should be intensely interested in the business affairs of the commonwealth. By the election Of a stable republican administration the state will be changed from Arizona limited to Arizona unlimited
 If elected governor 1 am going to be fair to labor and fair to capital but firm with both," he said in ,conclusion. q believe absolutely in a square deal not 60-40 proposition. And I solemn ly promise to carry out every single plank in the constructive. republican platform.
 1 The other candidates on the republi- can state ticket made brief talks out lining their plans of procedure in the variCIs offices to which they aspire. ! Joe V. Prochaslla, Gila county's candi- date for secretary of state, read the state republican platform and was loudly cheered.

 The comptroller paid tribute to Sec retary McAdoo, who he said had solved financial problems during the past three years, compared to which the tasks of Hamilton, Gallatin, Chase. Mccullough and Sherman seem small. In summing up the results achieved under the federal reserve system, MT Williams said rates for money had been lowered and equal ized, business of all kinds, placed on T stronger foundation, and bank fail ures greatly reduced.
 Tt is certain that just before Us, a few months or two CT three years," he said, in conclusion " mighty task is to he done to re-organiZe and re-es- tablish the nations of the earth. We have the right to do it to our own profit, But it is cur duty and our
 opportunity to let the word fair go hand in hand with the word profit Let us have the great American soul go in company with the great Ameri- can dollar. We have the people with souls in them.

falrbanks In Omaha

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 26-"Demo- cratic prosperity Is due to war, while republican prosperity grows out of the normal and peaceful industries of the people, declared Charles Warren Fairbanks, republican nominee for vice president, in his principal ad- dress in Omaha today.
 MT. Fairbanks declared that graver problems for the judgment of Ameri- can people had not been presented since the days of Lincoln
 After stating that one of the first things the present administration did was to overturn tke republican sys- tenn of protection, the speaker said:
 The law promptly did it's work. It began to undermine confidence breed distrust. reduce the public revenue, close factories. throw out of employ ment of hundreds of thousands of wage earners and increase bread lines in many parts of the country.
 Tn due course relief came to us. not through democracy but through one of the cataclysms in the political world that dimmed all that preceded 1t through the ages; the foundations of Europe trembled in the grasp of a mighty war"
 The prosperity that followed :n the wake of the war was not due to the party in power, MT. Fairbanks de- clared.
 The fact is that the prosperity as it was and is, was not effected in the slightest degree by the political meas ures or the policies of the party in power"

Kibbcy, repub- lican andidate for United States seHa- t r, Tom Campbell republican candi- date for governor and the other mem bers of the state republican ticket presented the vital issues Of the pres ent campaign.
 That the arguments used by the can- didates were successful was made manifest by the vociferous applause accorded the speakers.
 Governor Kibbey briefly reviewed his long career of public service in the state. He told his listeners of the legal battle he had to wage to secure the water rights for farmers in the Salt River valley. And. his audience was eomposed largely of farmers for whom he had fought in the courts. They roundly applauded the champion of the rights of the water users.
 Judge Kibbey plead for safe and sane laws, for permanent and constructive state administration, one that would be material factor in upbuilding the state and promoting the development 1 of the farming communities. He also Referred to a rumor that his democratic opponent was planning a "slashing, vindictive and mud-sling ing" campaign. But he concluded this reference by saNng, If he attempts to do so he'll stop il mighty soon." | Tom Campbell. was accorded an un- usually warm and enthusiastic recep- tion in what is considered one of the I democratic strongholds. Time and again Yavapais "favorite son. was in | terrupted by the ringing applause
 which met his remarks.
 He explained at length the workings
 of the tax commission and when ht
 told of Governor Hunts upfamiliarity
 with the tax laws he provoked grea
 laughter. MT. Campbell declared tha

 important in the state, had been called
 into conference with the chief 'execu

Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, Sept 26.-Buda Goldman, who is accused of having entrapped Edward R. West, a wealthy merchant here into a violation of the Mann white slave act and paving the way for three of her men confederates to extort $15,000 from him, was released on $2,500 bond today after being held by investigators for the department of justice. It was only after her arrest in another case that West became convinced that the Goldman woman was member of the band and not a fellow victim he said today, and her assumed modification and fear of publicity had been the cause of his contributing the mnoey rather than face prosecution as a white shaver. She convinced him he told federal au- thorltieS, that she was an innocent victim and it was to save her that he finally met the demands of the black mailers
 West said he and the woman were brought from New York to Chicago in custody of the blackmailers, whom he thought were agents of the depart = ment of justice, taken to the federal building here to the very door uf the government investigators before he decided to give over the money tC save prosecution.
 Later they were taken to an office | building in which a member of the i gang, who represented himself to bt United States commissioner, advised to keep the case out of the courts by paving his captors.
 States Attorney Hoyne today or dered the arrest on state warrants O all persons implicated in ;he Wes i case. These are, according to govern ment officials, George Irwin, Homer T French, Doc Brady, James Christian and Buda Goldman.
 Vests determination to accept tn humiliation of publicity following hi admission in order to punish tn blackmailers is expected by Hinton c Clabaugh, local head of the govern ment investigators, to induce at leas one more wealthy Chicagoan to eX pose a second crime which netted tn swindlers even greater profits.

 Reference is also made to the ap- parent weakened morale of the Ger man troops who are declared in some instances to have fled from their trenches throwing away their rifles. '
 The Times attaches significance to the breakdown of the German defense, confessed in their account of the Com bes battle, and says it means the Ger man general staff is apologizing for the crushing defeat.
 The Daily Mail declares that the Anglo-French forces have accom- plished one of the supreme feats of the war in capturing Combles, which the Germans two years ago selected as one of their pivOts and fortified 1t with every art known to man."
 General Constantine Moschopoullos chief of staff of the Greek army, and 800 officers have signed a memorial addressed to the king demanding that Greece abandon it's neutrality in the war. Early reports that General Mos chopoulos had resigned, according tC the Reuter- dispatch from Athens, con- veying the above information, were premature.

May Declare War

ATHENS, Sept. 26.(via London)- In circles very close to King Constan- tine the belief is expressed that he will declare war immediately, possibly this evening.
 One explanation advanced of the de- parture of M Venizelos is that the foreign powers desire to nominate 8 prefect of Saloniki, thus definitely bringing about the separation of the city from Greece, and that M. VeniZe- los. to save SalOniki to Greece is gO- ing to a conference with the entente allied authorities there in an endeavor to arrange another solution of the sit uation.

Herrick, the next senator from Ohio. 1 say this not simply to pay a just tribute to a man who stood in a difficult hour. the em- bodiment of boise, and received the confidence of the people to whom he was merely a foreign ambassador, I say not simply as a tribute, but to point lesson.

Seeking Villa Messenger

DOUGLAS Sept. 26-Salvador Go meg, a Mexican who is the self styled agent of Francisco Villa in the United States, is being sought for by the United States secret service men all along the border. He is suspected of having delivered Villas alleged mes sage to the MeXicans of Douglas and Pirtleville, a suburb, last week that Villa would return to Sonora to cap ture Agua Prieta and attack Douglas on November first, the anniversary of his attack on the town across the in ternatiOnal boundary from here
 Government agents have learned that Gomez has been travelling by auto mobile to various border points, de- Hvering alleged messages from the bandit. An accurate description of the man could not be obtained but is said to be in possession of the officers. Sonora officials are inclined to doubt the authenticity of Gomez message and assert that they would welcome Villas presence in Sonora as he would be killed or captured inside of three weeks, so hostile is the feeling against him as result of the atrocities that were charged against him and his fol- lowers, last winter
