NEW ADDITION BEING
 ADDED TO SCHOOL HOUSE

Workmen are now busy add ing a right wing to the Will Hams Public School building. This wing will embrace two rooms and will very nearly duplicate the left or southeast wing, added a few years ago. Work is being rushed as rapid ly as possible and the School Board hopes to have the rooms ready for occupation, shortly after school opens.
 The additional room furn- ished will relieve the present congested condition of tho schools for a year or two, but the people of Williams must look forward to still further adding to the capacity of the local school in the course of the next two years. The increase in the number of pupils has been quite steady for the last five years and indications are that this increase will continue for number of years to come.
 The addition now under con- struction will cost S6,O0O. Only three years ago it could have been built for $4,0O0. Part of the funds for building the new addition have been saved from Williams portion of the regular school fund and the balance has been provided through a special appropriation by the Board of Supervisors.

Why Not Combine Offices

In W1nSIOW the OfhceS or con- stable and Marshal are combin- ed. The town pays it's Marshal smaller salary than it would otherwise, and the combined salaries pay enough to make a good living for one man. Many Williams taxpayers are urging that the same thing be done in Williams. It has been suggest ed that if Marshal Burns will come out for consta ble it will give the people of Williams an opportunity to say what they of the matter.

FLOOD FORECASTS
 ELECTION OUTCOME

Washington, September 1S.-(Spe- cial)-Representa Hal Flood of Virginia, chairman of the demo- cratic congressional campaign committee, holds in scorn the pre- diction of Will II. Hays. chairman of the republican national commit tee, that Senator Harding will be elected by 346 electoral votes.
 On the other hand. Mir. Flood be- lieves that Governor Cox will win. He makes a prediction of his own. It follows:
 Taking the situation at this time, there is reason to believe that the democrats will elect Governor Cox. I base my calculations on the re- ports that reach headquarters. We will, am convinced, carry Arizona California, New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota, Montana, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Maryland, New York and Connec- ticut. Of course, Cox will carry the solid south.
 There will not be less than 290 electoral votes for Governor Cox. This means. also, that we will have the next Congress"

mittee charges tha tthe republicans Tn addition to the presidency are endeav- bring also to buy the Senate.
 The original statement to that effect follows:
 ''Cognizant of the danger of losing control of the upper branch of Con- gress, republican campaign managers, according to information reaching na- tional democratic headquarters in New York, have dumped into the half dozen states in which their senatorial candi- dates are in greatest danger, the bulk of the $500,000 fund set aside for the entire senatorial campaign
 The statement expresses the conh- dence of the democratic committee that the democrats will carry the Sen ate It says: "Confident that they will not lose any seats in the Senate which they now hold, democratic leaders point out that it will be necessary for them to win only two of the live or six doubtful seats in order to give them control of the Senate after Marcf | 4, 1921.
 "The nomination of Senator James W 1 wadsworth, Jr. makes it almost e r. ! tain that Lieutenant Governor Ha-r> c. Walker, democratic nominee, vii
 succeed Senator Wadsworth. Becaus' of his long and bitter opposition t' the cause of woman suffrage, Senator wadsworth has arrayed against hin many of the national suffrage leaders the League of Women Voters, of whicl Mrs. Maude Wood Park is chairman
 and Miss Mary Garrett Hay, who re signed as chairman of the republican
 women's executive committee in orde that she might fight Senator Wads worth
 similar conditions exist in Ney Hampshire, where Senator Moses, an
 other opponent of woman suffrage, ha
 been nominated by the republicans an
 in Connecticut, where Senator Branda
 gee. likewise an anti-suffragist, ma
 been renominated.

Washington, September 1S.-(Spe- cial.)-That the President has re- mained silent in the campaign, the surprise of democratic leaders regard ing which was featured in this cor respondence last Sunday. is due to the timidity of two great men.
 The President thought that Governor Cox should have asked him to get busy, , naming the time and the manner in which he desired the executive to func- ton. Governor Cox, on the other hand, thought that 1t would not be beconl- ing in him apparently to prod the President
 At any rate, such is the explanation offered. Following the story published ed last Sunday. certain leaders of the party tried to get at the bottom of the situation. It was announced that the President is very anxious to get to
 work. and that Governor Cox is very anxious that he bestir himself. | And then Senator Pat Harrison. chairman of the speakers bureau un- der the national committee, immedi- ately sent the President formal in vitation---or request-to thrust himself | into the campaign. It is now said tha, l the President will have something to say early next week.
 1 It has not been concluded what form l the Presidents activity will assume i It doesn't make any particular diff i ference. the leaders say. For anything l emanating from the White House would be featured in every newspaper l in the United States. So the Presi- l dent, in response to requests from in | dividuals, might write letters setting forth his views. Or he may issue of ficial statements from the White House Or he may make some ad dresses from his porch.
 II It is confidently believed that h
 win pitch into the Senatorial oli'
 garchy" before the fisht is over. Ther
 is little question but his entire dis
 cussion will concern the League

REPUBLICANS PLAN
 TO PUNISH SOUTH

Washington, September iS.-(Spe- )-What is regarded by southern CTS in Washington as a very old at tempt by indirection to induce the Congress, in the event it is strongly republican, to punish the south by 'e- duction of it's representation, takes the form of an editorial in tha Washing ton Post today.
 After discussing the situation, the Post proceeds: If the republicans re- tain control of both branches of Con gress they may reduce the number oi representatives from southern states where negroes are disfranchised by law. A proposal of this kind has oeer advocated and is receiving conSidera- ton by the census committee of the House.
 Article i. section of the consti- tuition originally provided that repre- sentation shall be apportioned am 1ne the several states, according to then respective numbers But section o1 the fourteenth amendment changed this by providing that when the righ' | to vote is denied to any male inhabi' tants, or abridged except for partici' pat ation in rebellion the basis of repre- | sentation shall be reduced in the same proportion which the number or sucf male citizens bear to the Whoie nun I Der of male citizens.
 | "This gives republican Congress the authority to cut down southern
 representation if it sees fit, privilege
 which to date it has not used. Th'
 solid south has 10S representatives
 This number could be reduced materi ally if the provisions of the fourteen.i
