farms for the purpose Of selling

has aroused such. indignation among
the farmers affected that they threat
en- to plow up sown fields. In some
cases they are alleged to have taken
this unpatriotic course.
To justify military action the au-
thorities have issued statistics show
ing that in the Haarlefn lake dis
trict it is estimated that 80 per cent
Of the wheat crop, 4S per cent Of the
barley, so per cent Of the beans. and
SO per cent of the green peas have
been, withheld.
The food shortage in Holland is
becoming serious. Not only is wheat
scaraa but other foodstuffs as well.
The government has not obtained
German permission to send three
ships to America for food. Neither
has the new economic agreement

emily because the Dutch shrink from
paying the price from their precious

demands for her coal. iron, and

administration, as he has served dur ing the trying times of war and knew "the ropes", so to speak.
 He spoke at great length regard ing the statement made by Wicker sham that he was cheated out of the election by Democratic judge and the corrupt Democratic machine, and explained in detail the voting system both as regards the old form of vot- ing by ballot, which is still favored by Wickersham, and the new system of secret vote, known as the Aus tralian ballot. The old form gave occasion for fraud, coercion, bribery and intimidation of all those in power and those interested knew just how the voter was using his right; whereas the use of the Australian ballot system eliminated all the ob. jectionable features and made clean vote possible. Mir. Grigsby explained the laws governing the balloting system and the changes

countries, mainly Portugal, Spain. Italy and Greece, and very high prices are obtained nowadays, vir- tually double the figures before the war started.
 The Labrador fishery of New foundland has not in late years at tained the same proportions as for merly, when some twenty thousand fisher folk, men. women and child ren, migrated there every summer for the fishing season, and the catch in some years reached 25O, ,OOO quintals. A good season at present would represent half these figures, whereas the outlook just now is that for the ten or twelve thousand people engaged, not more than 5O,- 900 quintals will be obtained.

brought about in the method of vot- ing and clearly pointed out the dangers that encircled the use of the old system and the difficulties that confronted canvassing boards.
 In refuting Wickersham's claim that he was cheated out of the Dele gateship, MT. Grigsby read from the records, the testimony given by sev- eral illiterate Aleuts at Afognak, who had voted for Wickersham and who did not now who they voted for and apparently did not care; their voting being controlled by man who first treated the voters to coffee and cake and then made out their ballots for them. These ballots were afterwards thrown out on the advice of Mir Grigsby because they were all made out in identically the same way and were all typewriter and the votes cast for the same set of candidates. He also read from the

him no harm. In refuting this state ment of Wickersham's, MT. Grigsby read two letters from prominent congressman who were members of the House Committee on Elections. The first letter he read was dated August "A and was written by Rep resentative Albert F. Polk, of Dele ware, to Delegate Sulzer. This letter stated in unmistakeable terms that the committee on elections had not made it's report on that date and that it would make no report until after election this fall, and the writer, although on the committee, did not know the nature of the re- port the committee would make. The next letter read by Mr. Grigsby was dated August 29, and was from Rep- resentative Benjamin F. Welty, of Ohio to Delegate Sulzer, and was substantially of the same tenor as Congressman Folks letter; and yet Mir. Grigsby pointed out, Wicker sham, as early as July 3rd had tele- graphed out to various parts of Alaska that the committee on cleo tions had unanimously agreed that he had fairly won the election and that he had been given the delegate ship.
 MT. Grigsby stated definitely that such was not the case, and that Sulzer was the delegate in fact and that he had drawn the salary at- tached to the position.
 Beyond making thS statement that Wickersham had been Caught with the goods," Mir. Grigsby refrained from further comment on this par ticular phase of Wickersham's cam paign propaganda, leaving it to the intelligent public to judge of the statement on it's merits after it's falsity had been proven.
 Wickersham had stated at speech made in Chitina and other places, that this was not a political year and that it was a time when party lines should not be drawn. It was momentuous time for the Government and it behooved every loyal American to eliminate party politics and in whole-hearted way support the President and the ad- ministration. Mr. Grigsby said that he was in perfect accord with Mr. Wlckersham regarding this and said that he knew it to be a fact that it was the disposition of the country at large to drop politics. Repub- licans were not putting forward any candidates for election if by so do- ing they would in any way hamper the government in the prosecution of the war by putting in w and untried men to help in the naviga- ton of the ship of state, and MT. Grigsby thought, that if Wickersham would only be consistent, this state ment and attitude of his would be the most powerful argument for the retention of Delegate Sulzer, who IS favored by the President and the
