HOUSE SUSTA|NS
 PRESIDENT VETO OF
 AGRICULTURAL BILL
Nc cCumber Says President
 Has Wrong Informa- ton as to the Wheat Crop

Washington, July 12--The House today sustained President Wilson's veto of the agricultural appropriation bill. motion to pass the measure over the veto was defeated, 172 to 72.
 Senator McCumber of North Dakota, republican, speaking in the Senate to- night, declared the data given by the President in his veto message was erro- neous and was furnished by persons who did not have accurate information. Tax ing the present estimate for the 1918 wheat crop at 9o0,oOo0O0 bushels, sena- tor McCumber declared that an increase Of 20 cents 8 bushel in the price would total $180,000,0O0 instead of the Presidents estimate of $3S7 ,0OO,oOO
 The increase per barrel of flour, for which four and one-half bushels of wheat are required, Senator McCumber con tinued, amounts to only 90 cents although the President in his message asserted it would total g.
 "The wheat raiser is not asking fa- vors," said Senator McCumber. He is asking for simple justice. He has never asked that you fix any price for his product All he has asked is that the price of his product be allowed to ad- just itself to the demand"
 Senator McCumber said the cost of labor involved in raising wheat has in- creased from 200 to 400 per cent within the last few years.

LITTLE PROSPECT OF NARROWING R A CE E
 DOWN TO TWO MEN
Continued from Page Five)

tOOullnucO fdSc INtp plan for Congress is liable to ca use some misapprehension.
 ''The existing primary election law in Alabama is so framed that the noini- nee at any primary where there are more than two candidates for the same office is very likely to be the nominee by a minority The only sure way to determine that he is the choice of the majority is to bring the race down to two men.
 'Tn the present congressional race the only question to be decided is whether not the present incumbent properly represents the views of a ma iority of the democrats of this district. If he does he sh hould be returned as their proper mouthpiece and spokes- man. If he does not he should be de- feated.
 FAVORED NARROWING RACE
 '1n the begin ming of my campaign I publicly declared myself in favor of narrowing the race to the present in- cumbent and one candidate in opposi- tion to him. I believe that politics to- day, particularly when so closely con- nected with the vital war business of the country, sh puld be open and above board.
 w neH the lellcT pui pOItliS tO Soiii- from the Jefferson County Patriotic league, written on the stationery of that organization, reached me, I ac- cepted the same at it's face value. knew absolutely nothing of it until it was received by me in due course of mall, and did not know that any such action was contemplated from that source. As the suggestion of con- ference looking to elimination was ap- %J-r tv a a n 1 in line with my previous public an nouncement, I immediately acceded to the proposition and declared my will lingness to enter the conference.

 | If the candidates are sincere in their avowed purpose to bring about the de- | feat of the present congressman they {, should not hesitate to take such action as would fairly select the opposition 1 candidate. and let the race be run be-
 tween the present congressman and this one opponent.
 ''Of course if any candidate desires
 merely to play politics. or is not inter- ested in the defeat of the present in cumbent, or is in the race merely for
 the purpose of seeking his own politica. preferment he would not care to join in such plan for elimination.
 'It has been suggested by some that such elimination should have been had without publicity. So far as I know the letter in question was not given to the
 newspapers by anyone of the three candi- | dates who were willing to enter into the
 plan But, can see no reason why the
 elimination should not be had with the
 avowed and open purpose of cutting down the opposition candidates to one
 man in order that the present incum-
 bent, if returned at all, will be re
 turned by a majority and not minority
 vote of the democrats of this district"

and I could see no reason for any can 1 didate, who was sincere in his posi- tion that the chief issue in the cam paign is to bring about the defeat of the present incumbent, because of the belief that the present congressman does not correctly represent the senti- ment of the majority of the democrats of this district, could refuse to enter into such conference, I was some what surprised still further to hear
 of the report that the letter was al- leged to have been unauthorized by the Jefferson County Patriotic league. NO HARM DONE
 Tut, certainly, I cannot see that any harm has been done by this difference as the result has been to show that at least three out of five of the can didates in opposition to the present in- cumbent have declared their willing ness to enter into such conference. Tt is immaterial whether the letter , in question was authorized by the Jeff ferson County Patriotic league or not i; the plan was wise and the purpose pa triotic. There is public demand that some such action be taken, and the man who opposes it will raise imme- diate grave doubts as to whether or not he really desires to bring about the defeat of the present congressman. It is not impossible. that there are can didates in the race whose second choice is the present congressman.
 T hereby publicly. and in, ak sin cerity, renew my offer to have tho question of who shall be the candi-
 date to make the race for congress-
 man against the present incumbent de
 termined by any fair method or tri-
 bunal It is certainly within the prov ince of any candidate who has com piled with the local and party requi- sites to make the race or not as he sees fit.

Insure Your Business by Adprtising

dOCD NEWS

ME War news is good .--tremen-
i dously. overpoweringly good.
Bulgaria is out of the war. Tur-
key is wobbling. Austria is seeing
the ghost of ruin stalking through
the haze of military defeat. Germany
is in a panic. And all along the
great western frontier. from the
coast of stricken Belgium to Metz,
the gallant little Belgians, the fero-
cious British, the courageous French
and the invincible Americans are
battering the German army to
pieces. The Hindenburg line has
been pierced in a dozen places. The
thoughts of Hindenburg turn toward
the Scheldt and the Meuse. and he
is wondering whether or not he will
be able eventually to Sc: out of
France and Belgium with enough
of his forces left to make a stand
behind the Rhine.
The news from Europe is good
tremendously good, as We look away
across the Atlantic and study
through the eyes of the newspapers
the great work the allied armies are
doing.
The men "over there" are giving
good accounts of themselves. But
what of ourselves over here? The
best news we receive from them is
that they are winning battles. The
best news they can receive from US
is that we are backing them up. II
would be almost as much satisfac-
ton to the Kaiser to know that we
had fallen below our quota on the
big bond issue as it is for us to
know that the Hindenhurg line has
been smashed.

Speaks Through w. A. w.

(By William Allen White in the
Emporia Gazette.)
Politics" quoth our beloved
President, has adjourned"
And then up spake the Democratic
national committee with this nom
partisan slogan: Help Wilson Win
the War"
So politics reassembled. And"
says the common voter, says he to
himself, softly like and under his
breath: who is this man Wilson,
which he would win the war;" And
then History she fumbles over her
pages and she remarks: Him? oh,
he's the gentleman whom Congress
has been endowing with more power
than is given to any other ruler on
earth-not even to the Kaiser him
self"
We'll, well"-replies the average
man, recalling recent events-''well,
amt it the truth: and who is this
Congress which went ahead and
done all this?
Again History turns to her big
book and says she: Congress is the
representatives of the people, all the
people, Republicans and Democrats,
and in giving the President all this
power, which it is good thing to
give him in war time, for war is no
debating society, Republicans voted
just as strong as the Democrats.
They voted in a larger proportion
for the war than the Democrats, so
far as that goes, and they voted
stronger man for man for conscrip-
ton than the Democrats. But let
that pass; that was the accident of
geography" But" says History,
says she, ''in the matter of winning
this war the Republicans gave the
President just as much power to
win it as the Democrats, which
shows they really adjourned politics
and didn't just give it a ten minutes
recess in order to drum up ma
jority." That was what History said
them very words-and she never
smiled when she said it.
