FRAZIER LEADS BY
OVER $4,000 VOTES

While the total vote on the recent
primary election is not known exactly
the last figures available gave Gov
ernor Frazier's total vote $1,000 and
that of John Steen, 36,283, or a ma
jority for the nonpartisan candidate
of 14,777. The final figures may give
Gov. Frazier in the neighborhood of
$4,000 majority.
There is no change in the Congress
sonal results. Sinclair has defeated
Norton in the Third District, it is
admitted and Young is renominated
in the Second. Congressman Baer
has safe lead over Wick in the First.
All of the Nonpartisan candidates
for state office have been nominated.
The fight between Miss Nelson and
N. C. Macdonald for superintendent
of Public Instruction is very close, but
inasmuch as the names of both will
appear on the ballot in the fall, the
real fight will take place then.
This too will be the same with Chas.
J. Fisk and Harry Bronson, for Judge
of the Supreme Court.
Steen got a majority in eleven
counties in the state, Frazier carrying
all of the other counties.

Speculation on the man who Wit be

was general last night in hotel lob

official circles. however. could not
venture the name of any one man as
the apparent selection of the Presi-

the past week. or since the President
has received the resignation of Mr.
MCAdoo. plans have been made for
the naming of man to succeed to
the position.
Among the mon mentioned as pos

SHIP PROGRAM
CUT, SAYS PIEZ
Vice President Of Fleet Cor
poration States Economy
Is Watchword.

Limited ship construction has been
the policy OF thes Emergency Fleet
Corporation since September, Charles
Piez, Vice-president of the Emerg-
ency Fleet Corporation stated last
night in answer to the resolution of
Senator Harding who quoted that
the Emergency Fleet would need
100000 workmen during the coming
year. This estimate of labor, the
Shipping Board stated, was made
under war conditions several months
ago.
1t was stated yesterday that the
board of trustees decided early in
September that no new contracts for
ship or plant construction should be
let. At the same time vessels that
were not likely to be built during the
early months OF 1870 were cancelled.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation be-
gan then. 1t was stated, to shape its
policy for economy rather than speed
in construction. with the aim of ad-
Justing the shipbuildinR industry to
the normal as soon as possible.
Every possible safeguard has been
made through inspection and actual
tests, the Shipping Board announced
last night. as to the seaworthiness of
the vessels before deliveries. All
vessels, both wood and steel have
been inspected as to the soundness
OF the hull and the condition of the
machinery by the classification So
ciety. In addition. the vessels have
h"e . inspected by the United States
Steamboat Inspection Service and by
members OF the staff of the Fleet
Corporation.

Proposes Ship Bill.
Within a month of the outbreak OF
the war he proposed the ship pur-
chase bill. which was filibustered to
death in Congress. but which brought
about the United States Shipping
Board in 1917 This measure, like
many others, indicates the. vision OF
the man. Mr. McAdoo. by confer
ences. brought aid to foreign ex-
change, TO the cotton growers and ex-
porteTs, to the grain producers. and
shortly after the war began provided
American ships with insurance
through the creation of the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance.
The creation of the farm loan
banks in 1916 gave the farmers of the
country much needed assistance. In

In 1871. when this country entered

was the use of government funds
for the moving of crops, the Crea-

he took office he signed a check fuI

My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
! was not unprepared for
your letter of the fourteenth,
because you had more than
once, of course, discussed with
me the circumstances which
have long made it a serious
personal sacrifice for you TO
remain in office. ! knew that
only your high and exacting
sense of duty had kept you
here until the immediate tasks
OF the war should be over.
But l am none the less dis
trcsscd. / shall not allow our
intimate personal relations to
deprive me Of the pleasure of
saying that in my judgment
the country has never had an
ADLER, a more resourceful and
yet prudent, a more uniformly
efficient Secretary of the
Treasury; and ! say this re-
membering all the able, de-
voted and distinguished men
who preceded you. ! have
kept your letter a number of
days in order to suggest. If
| could, some other solution
OF your difficulty than the one
you have now felt obliged to
resort TO. But | have not been
able TO think OF any. | cannot
ask you TO make further sac
rifices, serious as the loss of
the government will be in your
retirement. l accept your res
ignation, therefore, to take ef-
feet upon the appointment of
d successor, because in justice
to you | must.
/ also, for the same reasons,
accept your resignation as Di-
rector General Of Railroads, to
take effect, as you suggest, on
the Ist OF January next, or
when your successor is ap-
pointed. The whole country

Many students of the political situ-
alton in Washington pointed out that
Bernard NJ. Baruch occupies today a
position which fits him in a peculiar
manner for the work of reconstruc-

of the Treasury must have a great
part in during the coming five years.
Mr.. BaruCh has been a close friend of
Mr. McAdoo, and has also enjoyed the
confidence of the President in all mat
ters. There is reason TO believe that
Mr.. Baruch has not been approached
by the President on the matter as yet.

BIG 5O.CALLON
STILL CAPTURED

Thursday while looking for stock
in the pasture, the little 13-year old
son of Mr.. Uclip Hughes residing
miles southwest of Water Valley, dis
covered a large still in deep ravine
near Long Branch, small creek
which runs through the farm. The
little boy reported his discovery to
his father who Immediately went to
the scene-and sure enough, there
were the "makings" of many "bust"
heads and sorrowful homes. The
still was not in operation at time Of
discovery but it showed recent use.
Mr.. Hughes brought the outfit to his
house, and Mr.. Foster Wright who
happened to call with his car, loaded
it in and brought it to Sheriff Patter-
son where it now is in safe keeping.
Nothing discriminating only the still
was discovered, neither was any per-
SON seen about the place to whom
any suspicion could be attached.
The still was So gallon affair with
good copper coils and was well made.
