PARALYSIS IN SWINE
TREATED SUCCESSFULLY

Perhaps the persons in Missouri
most interested in the diseases of hogs
are members of the pig cubs organ

Harrison county boys was paralyzed
in the hind quarters and was thin in

too heavy sucking of pigs. He rec

KING SECURED
 FOR CAMPAIGN
 BY DAN HANNA
Quit When He Disagreed Over the Policy of Wide
 Publicity.

| Washington, May 2s.---Oan Hanna of Cleveland agreed to raise $5eo,00o to finance the campaign of Major Gen. eraI Leonard Wood, the Senate 1nves- tigating committee was told yesterday
 by John T. King of Connecticut, who first was the manager of General Woods national organization. MT. King said General Wood asked him in February, 1919, to take charge of his campaign. 'I raised about $91 900, as I remem- Der it," he said, "$30 GOO in contrjbu- tions and about $5o,000 which I se- cured on my own note. Then they owed me some money when quit There is a story that at meeting in the home of Henry c. Prick which you attended last winter a. group of wealthy men, half a dozen or so. agreed to underwrite the Wood cam pahgn to the extent of million dol. lars,'' said Senator Pomerene, Demo- crat, Ohio.
 That isn't true,'' Mir. King said "The only thing I remember was dinner given by MT. Prick attended by General Wood and others. Politics was not discussed" 'eWho brought you into touch with General rWood?'' asked Senator Reed ''I think it was Dan Hanna" 'Was there any talk about the financing of the campaign?'' asked Senator King, Democrat, Utah. There was,'' MT. King returned. 'fAIr Hanna agreed to raise half mill gather it in for the IS months of work It was not discussed with General Wood
 Did MT. Hanna ever raise any
 money and turn it over to your" Sen ator Reed asked. "He did not'' s@Why didn't he?''
 .I don't know; that was what I was trying to find out when I 1eft-' Senator Reed asked King: When you came to a settlement, you've indl-
 cated that about $11, 1000 in funds was
 reimbursed to you. Who made the $5O,00O note?" 'Mr. Loeb made the sattlement,' ,' King replied. "I understood Colonel Proctor took care of the s5o,0oo note.''
 "what was the question you broke with them on?''
 "It was a question of policy. I was
 opposed, in the interest of the candi-
 date, and the party, to this wide
 spread campaign, with many organi-
 cations, headquarters and much pub-
 licity.'
 What did you do with the s91.-
 oo0?"
 "Used it for travelling expenses and
 publicity. Some money went into
 states-six of them."
 What states ?'' Georgia, Florida, Massach husetts, Oregon, Nebraska. There may have
 been one other.'
 King said $5,o00 was sent to Ore
 gon ito a man named Dow at Port
 land.'' He testified that he sent $3. 900
 to Roscoe Pickett in Georgia; s5,0o0
 to George W. Beach in Florida;
 s5,o0O to F. c. Rorick in Nebraska,
 $1 ,0o0 to Robert Bottonly in Massa-
 chusetts.
 Estimating publicity expenses at
 s15,000 during his regime, King said
 he employed Edwin Clark and MT. Moore, "now in charge of the Wood 1 campaign publicity" What sort of a plan did you have in mind when you gave a man s5,000?'' Senator Reed asked.
 "I didn't have a plan; he was to
 make the plan" MT. King answered.
 The money was to start with.''
 "The net result of your Ii months connection with Gen. Woods cam paign was the expenditure of s91,- l O0O?" asked Senator Edge, Repub1i-
 can, New Jersey. i "Yes,'' the witness replied.

Mr.. Villermin handed in his
resignation, and the senti-
ment crystallized this week
when it became evident that
10 competent successor could
be found for the position.
The above petition was the
natural result.
1t is not known Just what
action Mr.. ViIlermin will
take in the matter, but under
such pressing circumstances,
and with the principle objec-
ton to the job removed, that
of the low salary, it is scarce
ly possible that he will refuse
the call against such an over
whelming endorsement of his
record in the Office.
With an inexperienced man
on the job, and the necessity
of employing an extra man,
either at the plant or in the
office, and figuring the great
saving he makes monthly by
his expert buying ability for
the plant, the City stood to
loose at least $4OO per month
by his resignation.
A happy ending of the diff
ficulty is hoped for by favora-
bic action on the part of
Commissioner Villermin, as
it is very unlikely that any
candidate will try to defeat
him with such backing pledg-
ed in advance, and those who
circulated the petition stated
that it took but a short time
to get the hundred signatures,
and that as only four out of
all called on refused to sign,
they could have secured a few
hundred more easily.

Commissioner Villermin
has been presented q peti-
ton signed by over one
hundred of the leading busi-
ness men of New Iberia urg-
ing him to continue in the
employ of the city as Com
missioner of Public Property.
The petition reads as fol
lows:
Feeling that any change in
the office of Commissioner of
Public Property at this time,
when so many projects are
underway, would work to the
detriment of the City's well
fare and being of the Opinion
that Mr.. l.. f. Villermin is
the man best fitted for the
position among any available
in the City,
We the undersigned urgent
ly request Mr.. l.. +. Villermin
to submit his name for re-
election to the office from
which he has just resigned.
We realize that it is asking
a considerable financial sacri-
fee on the part of Mr.. Viller-
min to retain this position at
the salary paid, and therefore
assure him that so far as our
selves and our influence may
extend, we can see no ob.jec-
ton to his doing private con-
tract work on his own time
outside of his regular office
hours.
We urge his acceptance
of this proposition in the in
terest of New Iberia.
