GOLD FACTOR
IN ELECTIONS
Japanese Progressive Des-
cries Selling of Votes
By Citizens

Toxic, June ACCOMMODATIONS OF
The Associated Press.)-That the re-
suits of the recent election, which gave
majority to the government parties,
show the urgent need of the education
OF the people in politics is the opinion
of Yukio Ozaki, Japan's greatest pro-
gressive, who has been laboring for
constitutional progress.
In an interview, he declared that the
elections convinced him that, under the
present election law in Japan, money
is more powerful than speech, and that
this means that every patriotic jap
anese must strive for the revision of
the election law.
Charges Corrupt Practice.
Mr.. Ozald is quoted as charging the
government with resorting to corrupt
practices. He added: 1T is strange
while our people know well that IL they
steal secret maps from the general
staff Office, and sell them to foreign
agents, they are committing a serious
treachery against their country, they
seem not to think it crime If they
sell their votes. Hereafter shall en-
deavor to educate our people in poll
tics both with my tongue and pen"
He said that the adoption Of uni
versal franchise system would be one
way of saving the country from cor
ruption. vet feared that universal franc
chise would do no more than lower the
price OF each vote. Mr.. Ozaki voiced
the opinion that the giving the votes
to the educated classes, including grad
yates from middle or higher schools, ir-
respective Of property or tax Qualifca-
tons, would be one remedy for exist
ing corruption.

final VOTE ON
PRIORITY BILL
Administration Leaders will
Force It To An Issue
Today
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 16.-After another
day of fruitless discussion of the bill
empowering the president to order
priority in railroad transportation of
troops, war supplies and necessities,
administration leaders last night plan
ned to force a final vote on the meas
ure today if possible.
Senator Newlands gave notice that
he would move to fix time for final
vote upon the bill and all amend
ments. He also decided to. withdraw
modifying amendments to which SEN
ator Reed, Smith, of Georgia, Hard
wick, and other opponents had as
scented, and to stand upon the origin
al administration draft with a single
modification denying damages to rail-
roads for losses due to prior routings
ordered.
The amendments agreed to in con-
ference between friends and oppon-
ents of the bin would have given the
interstate commerce commission in
stead of the president the power to
determine prior routings Of all but
military forces and supplies. Admin
stration senators refused to accept the
compromise and Senator NeWlands
decided not to pres them.
This fresh complication caused re-
newed opposition. Quorum calls were
resorted to and the small floor at
tendance and debate on wide variety
of subjects lent the appearance of a
filibuster
Amendments to be offered by the
opposition will propose that presiden-
tial priority orders be limited to mill
tary "necessities' or that the inter-
state commerce commission or a
special board OF three members nam
ed by the president and approved by
the senate shall have the power to
direct prior transportation. Extension
of the presidents authority again yes
terday was the principal objection
voiced against the bill.

900 Tons in Eigh-
teen Months
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. June 1e.-The vast
amount of steel merchant shipping
under construction in American yards,
probably 100000 tons, will be taken
over Immediately by the government
under power granted in q provision of
the war budget bill signed yesterday
by President Wilson.
The announcement was made at a
conference of the country's steel ship
builders with the shipping board and
its emergency fleet corporation. Ship
ping now on the yards will be hurried
to completion and then will begin
construction of the great fleet of
standardized steel vessels.
Only by taking over contracts for
itself can the government speed con-
struction, since congress failed to
give 1t power to rush building for
private owners. Contracts calling for
future construction and on which ac-
tual work has not been started prob
ably will be abrogated unless the fleet
corporation decides the ships are es-
pecially fitted for the governments
needs.

London, June 16.-Great Britain
today dispatched to the United States
a reply to a. note addressed to the en-
tente allied powers inviting them to
associate themselves with the United
States on the principles Of the re-
cent American note to China, which
expressed regret at China's internal
political difficulties and a hope that
internal peace soon would be restored.
The British answer expresses SYM
pathy with the principles enunciated
by the United States and wish to do
everything possible to conform with
President Wilson's desires. But it
adds that Great Britain naturally
must view the situation from a slight
" different standpoint than the United
States and that she may not be able
to do all that the president suggests.

they walked all over the Reading
