a boy and girl carrying messages

the plan for the seizure of lower

Chihuahua might have developed
into serious proportions.
The messages. carried by Andres

Chairman Marlett and members OF

had several exchanges over the fall
ure of the state and residents along
the Mexican border to make effective

asked for permission to grow cotton
in the belt this year with an agree

year if the boil worm were found.

said, sis that it is what we have tried
before. We signed the people up to
agreement in the zone that If the
worm did appear they would cease
growing cotton and now that it has
appeared they have considered that

gone ahead to plant cotton. The

up to Louisiana and they didn't wait
overnight. The only question is
whether the state wants to take ad-
vantage of an opportunity to ex-
terminate this pest. If Texas fails

Sixth Congressional District
MOI Warming to Palmer s
Stand for UnmodJIed PACT

Palmer leaders to get away from
the idea that the attorney general
stands for the Endorsement of every
phase of the Wilson administration
and for the ratification of the league
covenant without reservation. They
seem to have caught an inkling of
the feeling of the great mass of the
people, and their mode of operations
has been materially altered in an
attempt to stem the tide of popular
opinion.
Senator Smiths speech here on
Tuesday night made him a host of
new friends. Since he explained his
position on the league and clarified
the political atmosphere by his mas
terly exposition of the real issue in
this campaign, many influential cit
liens, who heretofore have been crit
ical of the senator's actions, have
come out openly in advocacy of his
cause. Unquestionably, his appear
ance in Macon has worked out to
his great advantage and, according
to the information being received by
the leaders of his campaign, his
friends are losing no opportunity to
get in all the work possible between
now and April 20.
An effort was made here Thurs
day by the Palmer supporters to
make political capital out of the per-
sonnet of the committee appointed by
Malcom Jones, president of the Ma
con Bar association, to meet the at
torney general when he arrives in
Macon for his speech at the audi
torium Thursday night. They point
ed to the committee and asserted
that it includes some of the most
prominent and influential members
OF the war, at the same time claim
ing that they were appointed because
they are .staunch Palmer men.

MACON, Ga, April S.-With the
presidential primary less than two
weeks off and the Bibb county sup
porters of Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer claiming an over
whelming victory for their candidate,
it is the almost unanimous verdict or
the veterans of many hard fought
campaign that unless a political
earthquake occurs, the Palmer boom
will collapse like toy balloon, PRICK
ed by pin when the votes are count
ed on April 20.
Old timers in the political arena
of Bibb county disagree strenuous!y
with the assertion made in certain
quarters, and by, a comparatively
small coterie of Palmer adherents,
that the attorney generals position
on the League of Nations has won
Bibb county and the sixth congress
sional district.
THE folks in the country are up
in arms against the League covenant
without reserva lions" said one prom :
inent Macon citizen who has just re
turned from a business trip through
more than half a dozen counties Of
the sixth district.
And don't let anybody tell yon
that the city of Macon is in favo:
of swallowing the league hook, line
and sinker, as the national admins
tration would have US do. There are
men here in Macon who have always
fought Hoke Smith tooth and toe
nail, but in this fight they are lining
up with him and will certainly cast
their ballots for him April 20 The
are getting out and working in his
behalf. Some of the strongest Joe
Brown men in Bibb county are with
the senator on this issue"
Palmer Campaign Lacks Pep
The Palmer campaign in Bib
county and the Sixth district lacks

innocuous as near. beer, according to
well-informed leaders who have made
rather careful study of the situa-
ton.

RAILROAD STRIKE
IN CHICAGO HAS
BEEN EXTENDED

CHICAGO, April 8.-The strike of
'insurgent members of railroad
brotherhoods" which began week
ago in Chicago, today had spread
to other parts Of the United States
and there were indications that the
series of rebellions against organ1-
zation direction had not reached its
crest.

striking at such strategic gateways
as Buffalo and Kansas City, and at
such industrial centers as Joliet and
Decatur, Ill, and Gary, Ind. -
Strikes were g o1is aed Easy Rast St.

the southwest. Strikers predicted,
also, that $4,000 men in northern
New York would join them, cutting
off freight traffic from Buffalo to
New York and Boston.

gent organization which called the
Strikes, was forming branches in nu-
merous terminal centers, reports in.

manded an answer by Saturday mid
night to their demands for an in

Railroad brotherhood officers who
came to Chicago to assist railroad
managers to break the strike, de-
clared reports for today would re-
veal traffice in Chicago yards to be
at least so per cent normal.
The strikers, however, claimed that
by tonight no switch engines would
be opera ting in the Chicago district.
A bulletin that the strike was lie

of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, was on bulletin boards of the
New York Central lines today.
William S. Carter, head Of the
firemen, and Warren S. Stone, grand

announcing that the railroad broth

went into effect today and the posi-
ton of the striking insurgent switch
men was strengthened by refusal of
firemen and enginemen to work with
switch tenders and yardmen outside

organized under the name of the
Yardmen's association.
A practical suspension Of business
in live stock at East Buffalo and
preparations to suspend operations in

first serious effects of the tie-up.

strikers but it was believed repre-
