Policemen loaded Mrs. Johnson and her eight suit cases into a brace of taxicabs and assisted her out of the crowd.

 Senator Capper's statement blamed the Democratic administration for market inequalities favorable to the cotton and sugar industries and de- clared Governor Cox's nomination for president by the Democrats placed the party under joint obligation to southern interests and to the bosses" of the north.

 During the war and since" the statement said. i've have seen what southern control means. The south ern statesmen were for rigidiy con trolling and limiting the price on wheat that compelled the farmers to take far less than they would have got in an uncontrolled market. Cot ton went to dizzying prices.
 Recently we have seen the same thing in the case of sugar. I know no more complete demonstration of democracy's administrative incom- potency than the story of sugar this year.
 People are paying up to 30 cents for sugar and can't get it at that. Yet there is sugar enough for all. It is held by spectators to boost prices.
