WHEAT DROPS TO NEW LOW LEVEL IN ATTACK ON INFLATED PRICES

CHICAGO. Sept. 24-Wheat became the main target today in an attack on high prices An exciting smash in the market resulted and final quota tions were 10S4c to 12Ac a bushel lower than "A hours before.
 General selling of wheat was pro voked by the striking contrast between the recent upward tendency of that cereal and the downward course of other grain and merchandise values. The relative strength of wheat has been ascribed chiefly to urgent buying for export to Europe. but today for the first time of late important selling on foreign account was noted here.
 Another influence that tended to pull down the wheat market was a shrink age in demand for flour and a conse- auent decrease in wheat buying on the part of domestic millers. It was evil dent today that rural holders of both spring and winter wheat were show ing greater willingness to sell for cash in hand rather than to wait and att tempt to realize possible but uncertain enhanced future profits.
 The selling furry reached a climax in the final hour. During that period the rapidity of down turns was at a bewilderiug rate, and the close was demoralized at the lowest prices reached. December delivery selling al S.52 to s2.251. and March at s2.15 to S2-16.

 HWhen I put out my hand McGraw put out his right hand, but suddenly drew back with his left and hit me on the jaw. I crump.ed upon 9 sofa by my side with my right ankle twisted under me. I got up then and aimed a few wallops at McGraw, but the fight was stopped by others in the room

 MADE RECLAMATION
Especial to The RepubIican)

CASA GRANDE, Ariz., Sept 24- Declaring the people of Arizona were facing the hardest fight of their lives to preserve to themselves and their children the heritage given them by their government in the grant of ten and one-half million acres of state lands to be administered in behalf of the schools and other state causes, Governor Thomas F. Campbell. in his address here tonight, attacked the methods being used by the land board and land commissioner in practically granting stockmen exclusive rights to these lands. The governor declared that the land commissioners system of selecting and classifying these lands extended preferential rights to the big cattle interests and that as a consequence the homesteader. the re- turned soldiers and the small fellow had little chance of acquiring lands from the state upon which to found home. He did not object to the grant ing of leaS Ses for grazing upon grazing lands, the governor declared, but he did strenuously object 10 these lands being selected almost entirely as grazing lands and so classified. He also objected to the consolidation of
 leases and the system of releasing before the original leases expire, thus giving the big cattle interests posses sion in perpetuity of these state lands.
 Touching on reclamation the gover- nor declared that reclamation was a Republican policy. conceived and car ried to a successful conclusion by the Republicans because theirs was a pro-
