18 YEARS. SUPPLY
OF O|LLEFT IN us.
America, Greatest User OF Pc
troIeum, Has Only Seventh
OF Worlds Resources.

The immediate necessity Of the
United States acquiring a foreign sup
ply OF oil. as advocated by DR.. David
white. chief geoiogist OF the United
States Geological Survey, Is shown In
a statement issued today by the De-
partment OF Interior.
Foreign nations have seven times
as much oil as the United States. al
though they use only one-half as
much petroleum according to the
statement from The Department OF In
terror.
THE countries are now using about
200, 600, 900 barrels OF oil yearly, but
they have resources large enough TO
last over $50 years at this rate or con
sumption" says the statement. In
striking contrast are the production
fgures for the United States which
at the present rate OF more than 40o,7 7
600, 900 barrels a year. has only an
eighteen years supply. In other
words. the United States Is using np
it's oil supply fourteen times as fast
as the rest OF the world"
According TO a survey made by the
Geological Survey. there are but
100000 barrels of oil left In the
United states and Alaska. while th1re
are $4,000. 5000 barrels left In INC
ground OF foreign countries.
.It IL noteworthy that this supply
is nearly equally divided between the
old world and the new. the America
having "a total very close to that ef
the remaining continents." the
statement declared. 'FortunateIy,
IL Is impossible to discover and take
out the oil remaining in the ground
In the United States-7,o0o bar
rcis--in so short a period as eighteen
years. Instead OF using our Pc
troIeum SO rapidly. we must either
depend more and more on oil from
other sources or get along with less
oil. Our children will doubtless -

Johnson crowd in crying poverty.
The latter have said from the begin
ming that they had no money and that
they had not a single paid worker In
the State. Outward signs have borne
out the Johnson statements, for their
headquarters. in a back second-story
room have anything in the world but
an opulent appearance, and the Two
men who have been doing most OF the
work for Johnson-J. George Eter-
man and Elmer J. Jones-aro UNDER
stood to be volunteers. The WOOD
crowd have been thought amply
financed, but they insist that such is
not the case. and that. contrary TO
what the Johnson managers say, the
latter have got hold OF some money.
According to some OF the Wood pco-
pie, the prevalent impression that the
whole Wood campaign Is so amply
financed has prevented them getting
much money from local Wood men.
although among the latter are many
of large means. However. the idca
among those who are familiar with
the campaign is that with tho wei

SO far as the Republicans arc con-

Wood. one real Congressional con-
test Is in the Fourth district when

man are opponents. In the SecohG
district, while the names OF Linwood
L. Clark and Albert A. Blakency are
on the ticket, Clark has Withdrawn.
This Congressional harmony means
that in the Southern Maryland ana

son is not making n fight against
Wood, the Republicans actually nave
no flEhtinE at all, except possibly

THAMONG 'DRyS'
Rival Presidential kspirants in
Maryland Today Have Up
held Prohibition.

How much or prohibition.st Is Gen
Leonard Wood and how much of
prohibitionist Is Senator Hiram John
son. the candidates for tho Presidency
between whom the Republicans OF
Maryland are making a choise today.
This interesting quest on. says J. +.
Essary in a Washington dispatch for
the Baltimore Sun. has been asked
many times and has been debated
with heat In New Jersey. in Nebraska.
in Michigan and in Indiana.
An eIeyenth-hour charge OF dry
ness was registered against Senator
Johnson in the Jersey campaign by
tho Wood leaders. His Congressional
record was made the subject OF full
page newspaper Advertisements and
il is declared that this smashing as
sault had much to do with loss OF
the State by Mr.. Johnson.
Both CIassed as .DryA"
II appears from the official record
to be true that the Senator Is pro-
hibition!st on the surface, even
though he. like many other legisla-
tors, entertain grave misgtvings as
to policy. But II also appears that
General Wood is a dry OF the most
pronounced type, fact which might
have neutralized the charge against
johnson In New Jersey IL the fact
had been given sufficient publicity.
The Sacramento Bee. a newspaper
friendly to the Senator. has this to
say upon the subject OF the candi-
dates prohibition leanings and his
votes:
So many Inquiries have come to the
Bee upon the subject OF Senator John
sons official relation to the prohibit
tion question and. In the majority OF
cases, SO many absolutely mendacious
statements are made thereon. that
for the beneft of its readers and as a
matter OF public duty. the Bee states
as briefly as possible exactly what
johnson did I'm his official capacity
upon the liquor question:
As His Friends View It.
In short, then, the record OF John
son on that subject Is as follows:
while governor of California,
Johnson was not sponsor for any
prohibition legislation. On the con
trary. he appointed a real and first
class yiticultural commission in order

(c) Against making the District

The votes of Hiram johnson. under

sufficient to show where he stands.
They were real tests. They were
given at a time. too. when he had to
have courage so to vote; when he
stood with a small minority In each
instance at the very height of the
widest and most threatening prohibf-
ton agitation in Congress.
|. Although this lineup of the Sem
ator Is intended to make him a lib
eral, the big fact is that he voted for
the eighteenth amendment for the
Volstead act. and to override the
Presidents veto of the enforcement
legislation, votes which are about as
dry as anybody in this Congress has
had an opportunity to cast.

VAST CROWDS HEAR
JOHNSON IN INDIANA
Complete Revolution Of Political

Powerful Appeals.

INDIANAPoLIS, May 3.-Not In
the political history OF Indiana has

has resulted from the whirlwind and

authorities that landslide Tor the

OF probability.
Three weeks ago Zell G. Swain, In

forces, was bombarded with letters
from his political friends throughout
the State telling him TO get out from

Continual ovation.
Then came the johnson triumph in
Michigan and other states followed
by the present visit TO Indiana In
which the vast audiences OF Indiana
voters have provided a continual ova-
ton for the Senator from California.
His powerful appeals have had an
electric effect on political sentiment.
Yesterday there was new ava

Johnson TO come TO cities which ne

letters was that II Senator johnson

When company pays dividend without making

Our present clothing prices parallel that proposition
We've always paid you dividend purchases made
in shop in the shape of saving from what you
would pay elsewhere for equal value.
Today it is necessary to cut off profit and dip into

You can hear lot of talk about 'prces going to
smash,'' but we'd like to have you 60 into the whole
sale market and see if you can find any indication of
lower prices for WoolenS.
Right here we're giving you some low prices for the

Campaign without Funds.

In no State OF the United states
has the unique Johnson method OF
campaigning without funds been more
drssticaIly exemplined. Her, In
State which was considered ihimicai
to the California Senator'S campaign,
there has been a special effort put
forth, and that special enort mas
amounted to less than $500 q week
for the entire State campaign.
This sum is almost laughablo when
II is considered that candidates In
the present Indiana primary campaign
have entered small towns where more
than that sum had been expended
twice over, In order to win the town
alone. 1t Is certain that no state
campaign of the kind has ever been
conducted for less than twenty times
the sum utilized by the supporters OF
Senator Johnson.

say, hell have the satisfaction of
knowing that Johnson alone won It,

Work on the building is held
