lied and frantic, and untruthful IN
their effect.
You begin your comments by saw
ing that the state of Idaho is bank
rupt which is not true and never has
been. It's warrants are selling at
par. AS much as two and three years
ago thoughtful men of this state re-
marked the operations of the Demo-
cratic administration with the help
of some Socialists and Nonpartisans
who slipped into office. thru Demo-
cratic appointments, that the bust
ness of the state was being con-
Quoted in such way that it would
create great deficit in the treasury
and make it difficult to keep the
state credit good and to keep the
warrants floating at par. The Demo-
cratic governor, whom you and your
organization helped to elect and
whose party organizations your peo-
pie stole outright two years ago,
conducted the business of the state
so wretchedly and turned the adj
ministration over to the present Re-
publican administration so bad off
financially, that the present Republi-
can administration has had great
task to meet the high cost of admin
istering the government and keep
things on a cash basis.
The Banks letter which you quote
so frantically is to me plain state
ment of business facts and proposal
or invitation to the banks to do what
they can to help keep the credit of
this state good. I desire to compli-
ment Captain Banks on his thought
fulness in sending out this invitation
to men who might have money avail
able to help carry the obligations of
the state for the next three months
until the tax money is available.
The statements he makes in his
letter are Just such statements as
business men have been making to
one another for months past; namely
that it will be difficult to conduct
their business on the cash basis for
the next few months until the crops
are moved and money is available.
The statement In the Banks letter
that they have been using the idle
funds in one department to cash the,
warrants in other departments is
proof Of the team work of the ad-
ministration in protecting the credit
of the state and keeping the people
of the state paid up on their war
rants regardless Of what department
they are working for or furnishing
materials for. bur-
You took the trouble to have a
plate made to print facsimile Of
the Banks letter with slip of paper
pasted over the address to conceal
the name Of the man to whom it was
sent and who probably sent it to you.
You did not "dig it up" somebody
handed 1t to you or sent it to you
and you proceeded to raise great
hullabaloo about 1t as If it were
something awful. You might just
as well have published the facsimile
of one Of my recent letters to my
wholesaler saying that we would not
be able OF take the cash discount in
paying our print paper bill the first
of this month as we have been doing
for the past six or eight years

paper that because l was not able to
take the cash discount on the first
of October I was bankrupt. De-
lieve that similar letters are being
written by business men in Idaho
towns almost every day or similar
statements are being made between
business men, owing to the scarcity
of money. The business of the state
Is just like the business of private
interests, all being tight until crops
are moved or until taxes are paid.
The one condition applying to the
business man and the. other to the
government departments.
In your newspaper article COM
menting on this subject of the Banks
letter you blame the cabinet form of
government for draining the treas
ury dry" l call your attention to
the fact that your Democratic admin
istration drained the public treasury
dry, left very great deficit for the
incoming Republican administration
to pay, which we have been steadily
paying besides collecting some bad
debts left from the Alexander ad-
ministratipn which they should have
collected, but made no effort to &C
complish. If you want something
to become frenzied over l suggest
that you publish in your paper the
fact that the Alexander administra-
ton after the loss by fire of the
Lewiston normal took the insurance
money which was designed for re-
building in such cases and spent it
for current expenses of their admin
istration, leaving the present Re-
publican administration to rebuild
the normal school and pay for it
from such funds as they could get.
A good many government losses
by the Democratic administration
have been covered by the Republi-
can administration by means Of re-
organizing business like the Gem
Irrigation district and selling land
which the Democratic administration
did not have the nerve and the in
telligence to handle.
/ regret, Mr.. Mcdowell, to mar
the pleasant business and profess

fore existed between us by writing
q letter by which l express such abb
solute disagreement with your views,
but candidly must say that your
whole conduct in connection with the
Banks letter is to my mind fren-
zied attempt to deceive the public on
the eve of election. am aware that
q great many people would take
your comment on the matter at par
without reading the facsimile of the
letter and without understanding its
import If they did read it. You are
probably we'll aware that large num-
bers of people do not understand
very well Just what is meant by war
rants and their different uses or
what is meant by deficiency war
rants or issuing warrants that must

NO MAYS CASE DECISION
Appellate Court Takes Under Ad-
visement Johnson's Appeal
From Injunction.

NEW YORK, January 24.-Decision
was reserved yesterday by the ap-
pellate division of the supreme court
on an appeal Of President johnson
Of the American League and the St.
Louis and Cleveland clubs from an
injunction issued by Supreme Court
Justice Wagner, restraining them
from interfering with Carl Mays
status as a Yankee pitcher, pending
the outcome of a suit brought against
them by the New York club.
Counsel for the appellants. in ar
guing sthe latest phase of the dis
puted case involving Mays, who, while
walked off the field in Chicago, was
suspended by Mr.. Johnson and later
was reinstated by the league direc-
tors, belittled the claim that Mays
had not violated his Boston contract
willingly before his sale to the YAM
KEGS.
In Mays behalf it is claimed that
he was hit with ball and also was
suffering from private WORRIES" one
being a fire which destroyed his we'd
ding presents and base ball trophies.
It was commended by appellants
counsel that affidavits in the case did
not state Mays had been hit by
ball and that his house had been

sci then quoted Nays as saying to
certain Boston sporting writer's:
II am convinced that 1t will be i'm
possible for me to preserve my con-
fdence in myself as a ball player and
stay with the Red Sox as the team

Cleveland, like a lot Of other bali
clubs, had a chance to get PITCHER
Dick Kerr last year. The little fell
low concluded that he was a big
Lacquer or nothing. and delivered
that uftimatum to Manager Rowland
of the Milwaukee club, who tried to
peddle him to at least a half dozen
clubs. but it was always the same
story, Kerr Is too small to make
the grade
1t is an easy matter to figure what
the acquisition of Kerr would have
meant to the Cleveland club. Chicago
took a chance on him and 1t proved
well worth while. 1t is an easy matter
to recognize the value of a Southpaw.
by simply looking over the line-ups OF
some of the major league clubs Take
the Cincinnati club for instance. 1t
was the sensational work Of Walter
Reuther and the consistent form of
Slim Sallee that played a big part In
the success of the Reds.
Then there is the Detroit club Until
Dutch" Leonard was obtained, the
Tiger staff of right-handers was
fioundering. although possessing all
punch needed, and Immediately the
right handlers began to show their
true form. The moment Herb Thor
mahlen of the New York Americans
showed a reversal of his winning
form, the club began to suffer
The fine work done by Pennock of
Boston was a life-saver for that club.
Chicago felt the loss Of Lefty Tyler
in no unmistakable manner. So it
seems there is more truth than fiction
in the statement Of Manager Speaker
Of Cleveland. that he needs south
paw to be in the running all the time
during 1920.

lnized Base Ball May Be Revised at Joint Meeti,

IF we can dig up a dependable
southpaw before the opening of the
1920 race, we will come mighty close
to winning the pennant" That is the
remark Iris Speaker made to me dur
ing the 1919 world series. The Cleve-
land manager was there as a base
ball scribe. I happened to bump into
him in a hotel lobby after the second
game. The fact the Reds had twice
taken over the American League PEN
nant winners was naturally consider
able of a surprise to the. Cleveland
manager.
THE Sox didn't look very good in
either one of those games" continued
Speaker. "Gleason's club didn't show
the speed it is capable of. I think the
old strain was getting the Sox. If the
season had been 1874 games instead of
40, we would have come so close to win
ming, if we didn't actually win, that a
hair line would have just about sep
arated u.s. But why if about the 1919
race; that is over. My real if con-
Germs 1920. and the signing of de-
pendable left handler"
There is a lot of truth as to the
value of a good left-handed pitcher.
A club that is without a southpaw is
always at the mercy of the opposi-
ton, as far as 1eft-handed batters are
concerned. 1t is a known fact that
left-handed batters don't do very well
against SouthpawS. Clubs that had
a number of left-handed batters in the
lineup had nothing to fear when fac
ing Cleveland. as the Indians could
offer nothing but right-handers In
the way of pitching. When a pinch
pitcher was necessary, 1t never could
be a left-hander to puzzle the OPP
position, because Cleveland had moth
ing to offer.

his claim on these Specifications: He
defeated the Reds twice in the great
series. and but for him the debacle
of the White Sox would have been the
fiercest disaster on record. He really
won the American League pennant.
for. when Cicotte and Williams were
getting bumped regularly in the clos
ing days, he saved the situation.
Kerr's request is hard to refuse, I'M
der such circumstances-but what
will Comiskey say to Cicotte and Will
liams? Uneasy lies the head that
wears a crown" but in base ball the
main uneasiness is about the money.
The Reds want the earth, but the
White Sox want the moon as we'll.
Gandil and Risberg both aver that
they will stay on the coast and go into
business. AS already remarked, Kerr
wants plenty, while the other pitch
ers are anything but bashful in their
suggestions. Collins can see no rea-
son for cutting his 100000. Weaver
thinks some $1,000 would be benefi-
cial in his case. Jackson is said to
wish for $12,500. Schalk's ideas have
not been obtained

The Reds. champions Of the world,
want s165.O00 in salaries this year.
and the White Sox. conquered by the
Reds, have the nerve to ask $170,000!
You can't beat that. There are, how
ever, special circumstances. First
item is the enormous salary paid Ed
die Collins, far larger than anything
demanded by any of the Reds. Then
comes the bulgy envelope Of Joe Jack
son; then the cash requested by Buck
Weaver for his varied activities. Aft
err these items come the modest re-
quirements of the other American
League champions. the whole, includ-
ing Gleasons pay, footing up $4,000.
or $1,000 more than what the Reds
want, including Pat Moran's goodly
stipend.
One item in the list that made G1ea-
son and Comiskey grin despite them
selves was Dick Kerr's demand for
vast money-Little Kerr. turned down
two or three times on account of his
small size, finally caught on with the
White Sox. and surely made good.
