GADSDEN

Gadsden, October 17.--(Specal)-An ln- tensive campaign was started in the seventh district Saturday, the orders is- suing from the state democratic cam paign headauarters in Gadsden and an- nounced as the final drive to make this district safely democratic this year. The narrow margin of victory which the democrats had in the last Congressional election is expected to be greatly in- creased this year, despite extraVagant claims of the republican forces.
 Capt. L. B. Rainey, congressman, seek ing recollection, has been stumping in DeKalb county, the strongest hold of repubIicanism. the past week and re ports that indications are good for him to make a fine showing in that section this year.
 The principal topic of conversation here concerns the announced visit or Senator Johnson and Governor Cool idge to the district.
 Bitter partisan lines have been drawn this year and the negro is coming in for his usual attention by both parties
 The collection of funds in this county has exceeded that of any other county, according to the state chairman, and is still progressing-/H Hundreds Of dollars have been sent to the local committee during the past week, mostly in the form of dollar contributions to Cox and the league.
 The women of the county are register ing in large numbers and in the country districts the percentage has been un- usually high The books open in Gads- den next week, and it is expected that hundreds of local women will place thelr names on the books
 The republicans of the north, inc'nd- ing Congressman Fess. are making claims that the seventh district will go republican, such claims being based evil dently upon the reports of their own managers in the field here. Such claims are declared by the demo cratic leaders as wholly unfounded and they predict the biggest democratic ma : iority ever returned in the county Starting Saturday speakers went into all parts of the county and until cleo ton day there win be rallies in every section.

pie as one too weak to possess an honest
 opinion, or too fearful to give it express
 sion.
 The democratic party is handicapped be-
 yond all question. Governor Cox is mak-
 ing one of the boldest fights in the his-
 tory of American politics to overcome
 such handicaps. He may succeed, and he
 may not. But should the republican party
 win. it will be due entirely to conditions
 which differences regarding the President
 and the League of Nations could not
 t1anspose.
 Here are the democratic handicaps; 1. A normal republican majority of 1,Ooo- 000 voters.
 9 A sum of money large enough to serve all requirements, legitimate and H. legitimate.
 8 The determination of the German and pro-German clements, an unpatriotic mass of practically 100000 voters, to punish President Wilson for his part in
 the war against Germany, and which see in the Versailles treaty bar against the resurrection of German military glcry. f. Big business which profits as result of war, which demands protective tar if, and which would so amend the red eral reserve act that at will it could pre- cipitate financial panics. ,. An embittered, anti-southern- negro vote increased by emigration from the south. and by the enfranchisement or ne gro women.
 There is the practical story. The League of Nations is an offensive weapon and not a protective shield. On the league, Governor Cox bases his hope Of victory on the league. his progressiveness, his ap- neal to the man who earns his iiving py virtue of toll, and the unshakapie all legjance of southern democracy. The republicans in their capacity oi "standpatters'' would hold their own. The democrats must carry the fight into their territory. Governor Cox has carried the fight into their territory. William Jen- nings Bryan never made a more thor oueb carpaisn. Theodore Roosevelt never made a more impetuous crusade into strpngh holds of reaction. Everybody admits that Cox may win He has moved the mothers of men to stand against the prospect of war. He has stirred the religious into action. And of labor, he has won it's every man, save those who are Germans, and who for other reasons anathematize the flag.

WILL TAKE STEPS TO
 LIMIT IMMIGRATION

washin gton October 17.-tSpecial J. Moved by the remarkable increase in inn migration, which is about to approximate pre-war immigration, Representative AL bert Johnson of Washington announces that he will call together November h the House committee on immigration, of which he is chairman.
 Mir. Johnson, who is now in this city, says that beyond all question there will be important legislation next session fur ther restricting immigration. As pre- yiously printed in this correspondence, the ure-war tide amount to million people, net. each year for more than ten preced- ing years The steady growth, month oy n, orth of immigration since the war leaves Mir Johnson ans others in no doubt but that in the very near future the tide will approximate and then exceed the pre- war standard.
 It is the information of Mr. Johnson that the immigrat tion does not improve in personnel. but is still the polygiot mass from southern Europe which for many years has had it's face turned to the shores of the United States.
 Representative Rainey Of the SeVen'I Alabama district is member of the Hs- migration committee. He fills the Se~5 cancy caused by the death of the AeI1 John l.. Burnett. who was chairman the committee when the present immigr' - ton laws were written on the statute books despite the veto of President Wil- son.

 COAL PRODUCTION GROWS
 The strike situation is growing better every day The action of the governor in allowing the soldiers to remain on the iob has and will have very telling effect toward restoring normal condi- lions in the mining sections. Men are re- turning to work every day and the out put of coal is very near normal at many of the places. There are one or two places that are now putting out at least 75 per cent of their normal output Of coal. It is the general belief here, ex- pressed by many of the working miners that the strike has been lost and they are returning to work as fast as they can get their places back. The officials of the mines are employing almost all that are applying for their places.
 There has been a little disturbance in the cotton section hereby the writing of a note or So. It is generally believed that it is the work of some crank, for the farmers of this county are very open in their condemnation of the acts in diff ferent parts of the state Very little at tention is being paid to the notes that have been received. Cotton is coming on the market slowly. There has not been moro than 100 bales sold to date here and under ordinary circumstances, there would have been sold more than 1000 bales

SUPREME COURT
SUSPENDS LAWYER

AS a result of charges of miscon-
duct made against him by the Washoe
County Bar Association the State Su-
preme Court has suspended Robert
Secular, local attorney, from practice
in this State for a period of six
months. The court filed its decision
on the charges as presented several
weeks ago.
Charges made against Secular were
that he induced one of his clients.
Frank Rhoden, to testify falsely as to
the whereabouts of Mrs. Rhoden
when Rhoden's suit for divorce was
heard and that he filed an affidavit
purporting to have been signed by
another client on a certain date when
that client was not in the State on
that date.
The court held that the evidence
against Secular was not sufficient to
warrant his being disbarred.

MAKING or WINES IN
NEVADA IS HELD LEGAL

Manufacture of wine and cider for
home use in Nevada is permissible
under both State law and rulings Of
John F. Kramer, Federal prohibition
commissioner, according to those in
terested who have been studying the
State act and the bulletin issued by
Commissioner Kramer and recently
received in Reno. The bulletin on
file in Prohibition Director Stod-
dard's Office states
Misunderstanding cider and fruit
juices may be made at home or at a
custom mill, but must be used ex-
~clusively in the home. and when so
used the phrase Notwithstanding
means mountaineering in fact and
not necessarily less than one-half of
one per cent of alcohol"
The statute Of Nevada provides:
THE provisions of this act shall not
be construed to prevent any one from
manufacturing, for his own domestic
consumption wine or cider
Prohibition enforcement officials in
Nevada assert that no raids are be-
ing made where there is no suspicion
that liquors are being sold. Posses
sion of wine in the home is not held
direct violation of the prohibition
laws unless sales are made.
The Federal statute provides that
the maker of the grape juice or cider
may sell his product to the general
public so long as the alcoholic con-
tent is less than ohe-half of one per
cent and the product may be sold to
makers Of vinegar at any time.
Cider in the home, under the Fed
eral law, may be allowed to turn to
vinegar II the owner desires. provid-
ed he adds no sugar or other ferment-
able substance to the cider or other
fruit juices to increase the alcoholic
content. AS the regulations do not
permit the wner to sell his product
after 1t contains more than one-half
Of one per cen alcohol, the inference
remains that the owner will have to
consume the stuff himself.-Gazette.

A very material loss will occur to
the potato crop Of Washoe County
this year. due to the prevalence Of
"fusariun whip" among the crops in
that vicinity. according to s. e. Mer-
rill. Washoe County agent. The loss
is estimated by some at 100000.
The disease is common all over the
valley and particularly on the ranch
es near Sparks. 1t has been report
ed that the blight also exists around
Fallon. "Fusariun WHIP occurs in
the potato seed and results in limited
yield and a poor grade of potato.
Another potato disease has been
found among Washoe County pota-
toes, called rhizoctorica. which is less
common. however. 1t results in the
potatoes rotting while still in the
ground" Merrill explained. "Rota-
ton Of crops is the only way to eradi-
cate the disease"

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
OUR BREAD AND BUTTER

Manhattan Magnet: Nevada sup
plies a world product, silver. copper
and other metals, and therefore the
State is more or less dependent on
world conditions for prosperity. Since
the war 1t has weathered a difficult
period of high operating costs in
mines and short orders and unsettled
price conditions for metals.
Taxation laws have tended to dis
courage the industry and labor con-
ditions have hampered successful
mine operations.
Nevada is one Of the greatest min
ing States in the Union and the sue
cess of the mining industry has a di-
rect bearing on the prosperity of vir-
tually every citizen In the State.
While we may not be able to change
the worlds conditions we can stand
for a conservative and constructive
programme which will encourage pro-
duction and developments In our own
country, thus helping to that extent
to stabilize conditions here where we
earn our bread and butter.
Sound labor conditions, uniform
and equal taxation laws and an abb
sence of radical and freak legislation
will help build up all our industries.
Laboring man and capitalist alike are
equally interested in such a pro-
gramme.

BREEDERS MAY SELL
CLOTHING THEMSELVES

Any Nevada man may be able to buy
an Atwood suit for SIS with the wool
growers of the State the retailers. IL
some of the suggestions made at the
recent meeting of the National Wool
growers Association at Salt Lake are
carried out. The idea was suggested
as one means of relieving the conges-
ton of wool on the market.
According to the plan, the Sheep
men will send their wool to the mills
to be spun and will later retail the
cloth. 1t was estimated that enough
cloth for a mans suit could be sold
for $40 and the workmanship would
cost about s35. 1t was calculated
that at that rate a wool grower would
have about 60 orders a day for cloth.
and one member of the association
said he had carried out the idea and
had procured 235 orders in one day."
F. w. Wilson said when telling of the
meeting, which he attended.
"A cooperative wool market at
Salt Lake was also suggested, allow
ing for the marketing of all western
wool at hal city.
"A resolution was passed to ask
Congress to impose an embargo on
all frozen lambs shipped into this
country from Australia and New Zea-
land. 1t was stated that sixty ship
loads, including 100000 head. were
on the way to this country, which
would shut out the American product
from the market. 1t is hoped by i'm
posing this embargo a repetition of
such a situation will not occur. The
sheepmen of this country are becom-
ing pretty discouraged" Wilson said

LAWYER ACCUSES
STATE TAX APPRAISER

That a charge of offering to reduce
the assessed valuation on land and
live stock in Nevada IL properly COM
pensated has been made against III.
s. Pohe. special appraiser for the
State Tax Commission, by Morley
Griswold, an attorney of Elko, devel-
oped at the meeting of the State
Board of Equalization on Thursday
of last week.
Griswold Refuses Information
The charge was brought to the at
tention of the board by Governor
Boyle during the morning session.
The Governor said his attention had
been called by Commissioner Rogers
to a matter that he felt needed the
fullest investigation. He then pro-
ceeded to state that Rogers had told
him that Morley Griswold charged
Pohe with making improper advances
to members of the land and live stock
association. The Governor read tel
egrams passing between himself and
Griswold. His telegram to Griswold
asked the latter to furnish the State
Board at once with the particulars
and facts on which his statement to
Rogers had been made. To this tel
egram Griswold replied, refusing to
give any Information, saying that pro-
f~essional ethics made it impossible
for him to do so.
Eacfs aro no~auAod
After Gov. Boyle had stated the
case a telegram was signed by all the
members of the Board of Equaliza-
ton and sent to Griswold demanding
that he Immediately provide the
board with all the particulars or
which he based his charge.
Copies of all the kilograms passing
between Griswold, Gov. Boyle and the
Board of Equalization have been sent
to the State Bar Association.
Pohe Declares Charge Untrue
Pohe declared the charge made by
Griswold to be untrue and without
foundation. He explained that the
only connection he ever has had with
any parties interested with the land
and live stock association was a prop
osition made to certain individual
members of that organization to &C
quire some oil lands in New Mexico.
Accused Is Exonerated
H. S. Pohe, charged by Morley
Griswold with making improper adj
vances to members Of the State land
and live stock association was
Grated of all blame at last Saturdays
meeting of the State Board of Equal
ization. Griswold failed to appear to
substantiate the charges. Pohe was
selected to make a survey of thelands
of the Dunphy estate in Eureka and
Lander Counties and Of the Adams &
McGill property in White Pine.
