There can be no question that re-
publicans even in the doubtful states
have worked with twice as much en-
thusiasm as they normally do simply
because the betting and other signs
indicate to them republican victory.
Conversely, depression in the demo-
cratic ranks is due to the apparent
certainty of republican triumph,
which has been produced by repub-
lican newspapers on theory that the
country wants change.
Democratic Morale Low.
If tomorrow some sensational cam
paign happening turned the tide to-
ward the democrats they would work
100 per cent harder.
The democratic morale has been
low. due to disorganization at ma
tional headquarters and lack of funds.
1t may have been wise to make virtue
out of poverty when the Senate in
vestigation committee began study
ing campaign Frances. but it gave
many. a democrat out west the i'm
preston that the democratic cam
paign was a failure at the very start
Perhaps the greatest handicap on
the other hand that the republicans
suffer from in this state is apathy
Dissatisfaction with the present adj
ministration is current, but it hasn't
been deep enough to arouse all the
voters.
The republican leaders fear they
will not be able to get out the repub-
lican vote. The democratic appre-
tensions are based upon the depopu-
lation of certain democratic counties
on account of mining conditions.
What has been lost to the democrats.

chances are it will go democratic by
a narrow margin.

ELEVATOR ARGUMENT
KEEPS 4 MEN STRIKING
Clash on Stars New Building Is
First Time Dispute
Has Come Up.

The jurisdictionaI dispute as to
whether an elevator constructor or a
hosting engineer should operate a
motor for drilling an elevator plunger
hole on the new Star building today
resulted in the absence of four eleva-
tor constructors from work.
The power for the operation Of the
motor was cut off yesterday on &C
count of an overlooking of the meter
registering the electricity used by it
and by hosting electric motors on the
same line. For this reason there was
not power for the drilling OF the
plunger hole. Arrangements for OBJ
tanning current are being sought in
other channels.
At a meeting of the Elevator Con-
structors' Union last night members
decided to make the proposition an
issue in jurisdiction. 1t is. the first
time that such a dispute has occurred.
Claims for the jurisdiction were pre-
scented on the grounds that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor at it's last
convention sanctioned the proposition
that elevator constructors were to be
in charge of "the assembly of all
elevator material to-wit: The boring
and drilling and sinking of all
riers and all work in general pertain.
ing to the erection and equipment OF
an elevator complete"
On this basis the union decided that
it would uphold its right to a motor
operator being a member of its or
ganization, since the boring and drill
ing of a plunger hole came under
the classification of "all work in gen.
eral pertaining to the erection and
equipment of an elevator
1t was also pointed out that the
sanction for the hosting and port
able engines on buildings, where
used for building material, street roll
ers steam shovels, dinky locomotives
cable way. clamshells and pile drivers
were conceded to the hoistnng engi-
neers, but that the sinking of an ele-
vator plunger hole did not come uh-
der that class.

cording to opinions reaching the De-

many.
The situation of the money market in
the United States is regarded as the
most potent influence behind the pres
ent trend of the mark. cit is fact
to be remembered that every autumn
the United States needs current money

dispatch. For this reason America
is at the present time Withdrawing it's
creait from Europe and Particularly
from Germany"
The opinion is prevalent in German
financial circles that a large part of the
depreciation is due to bolshevist VIC
tories in Poland and among some people
this has aroused a desire to buy and
hoard foreign bills.

yesterday in the Supreme Court by Sen
ator Truman H. Newberry and sixteen

in Grand Rapids, Mich. on charges of
corruption in connection with the 1918
senatorial election. The government,
it is understood. contemplates asking
the court to expedite it's considera-

In this appeal the defendants ques-

federal statute and sustained the

Boston, July 3O.-The probe OF the
federal government into the financial
methods Of Charles Ponzi, who claims
to have made millions by his dealings
in international exchange, was ofic-
tally started today. "A firm Of audi
tors working under the direction Of
United States Attorney General Gal
lagher began the examination Of Pom
Zi's books and records in an effort to
determine whether he Is solvent.
Attorney General j. Weston Allen
also will have an audit Of PonZi's
books made, acting upon the request
of Governor Coolidge that the opera
tions be thoroughly investigated. 1t
is expected that the audits will be
completed within three or four days,
after which, according to Ponzi, he
will reopen his office to accept dcpos-
It's.
Ponzi declared tonight that the in
iYestigators would find that his assets
were far In ecess OF his liabilities.
He said, also, that he would hold an
other conference tomorrow with the
group OF New York bankers who are
alleged to have offered him 100000
900 for his business. He added that
he thought he would decline the offer.
The amount paid out by Ponzi since
the run began Monday was estimated
by his manager, Miss Lucy Mcli, at
81 800 900. "And we have twice as
much money right here in Boston as
Mr.. ponzi owes, so there is no need of
anyone being nervous she added.
Ponzi, a few days ago announced
that his liabilities were about $4,000
900, indicating that public participa-
tion in his schemes already had been
reduced by one half, with further
receipts stopped by his agreement
with the authorities to accept no
more funds until the investigation Of
his accounts is completed.

investments.
Examination Of the books, however,
according to Miss Meli, Will not solve
the mystery of how Ponzi has made
his money. With his ready satisfac-
ton of all demands for payment
question has turned from his solvcncy
to "how does lie do it?"
TO the statements of Postmaster
Patton, of New York, that there are
not enough international postal cou-
pons in the world to build up the for
tune which Ponzi claims is his, Miss
Nell declared that her chiefs man

BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR U. S. BUSINESS
SO Says John Shelton Williams, Comp
trOller of Currency. Conditions
Most Encouraging.

Washington, July 30. - Asserting
that applications by federal reserve
banks Of brakes on credit has had
'iarring effect on some nervous sys-
tem." John Shelton Williams, somp-
Itroller Of the currency, in statement
tonight said general business condi-
tions throughout the country afforded
abundant reasons for confidence and
encouragement in the future"
Action OF the federal reserve banks
in largely dcpriving non-csscntials
and luxurics from the use OF credit
was said by Mr.. Williams to have had
a very beneficial effect. Reports to
the comptroller show a marked teen
dcncy towards liquidation, he said,
adding he believed the credit rcstric-
tions were responsible for such de-
clincs in prices as have come.
Mr. Williams said there was prev
alcnt pcssimism which was unwar-
rantcd in that the banks at present
were in a particularly we'll fortified
position" He cited figures from re-
ports on the last notional bank call,
June 80, to show that there were iE-
crcases by loans in banks in only two
sections, the eastern and the Clcve-
land districts.
The currency comptroller attacked
New York banks for cxacting inter
est charges ranging as high as IS per
cent. New York bakers, he said
were the only ones in the country
charging such interest rates, which
he believed to be burdensome on busi-
ness as well as without justification
| for their excessiveneSs. These
banks, Mr. Williams said, have been
obtaining credit from the federal re-
serve banks at less than per cent
Those inclined to pessimistic views
as to our financial situation," Mr.
lWilliams continued probably do not
know, or do not appreciate the i'm
mensely significant fact that our fed
eral reserve banks have an unused
lending power Of $750,000.000 at this
time. If the occasion required, the
board could, by waving reserve re-
quirements on deposits and notes on
ly 10 per cent, increase the unused
lending power to $4,000, 100000. which
is 30 times as much as all Of the ma
tional banks ever borrowed at on,
time on bills payable and rcdiscount
prior to 1913. In the face OF such fig
urcs and facts as these the fear cx
pressed in some sections that ther
may not be enough money availabl
to move the crop seems manifestly ab
surd.'

HEAVY LOSS IN
MCCORMICK FIRE
Flames Sweep Entire Block, Destroy
Ing Five Residences Worth &15.OOO.

Ing Five Residences Worth $4,000.
Mccormick, July 27.--One Of the
most disastrous fires which has oc-
CURED in Mccormick since 1910
was that which swept one side Of an
entire block of the town this after
noon. In its path five residences
were destroyed, entailing approxi-
matcly $4,000 loss both in buildings
and furniture.
The fire originated, as best as could
be learned, in the ceiling Of a stove
room at the DR.. Burdashaw ersidence
owned by John r Chcatham and l.. n.
Blown, and occupied by Mr. Cor
bett. From this residence, the next
was residence owned by J. B. Har-
mon and occupied by Otis NJ. Read
which was soon destroyed. The fire
then continued along oak street
destroying the entire line OF five
residences between Gold and Vir-
ginia streets.
Mccormick Is without waterworks
or fire fighting apparatus and the
entire town seemed to be threatned
when the wind began blowing. 1t Is
understood that most Of the contents
Of the residences was saved and the
buildings were almost fully covered
by insurance, so that the loss will not
fall 50 heavily on the owners.
