OF furnishing it's peoples homes and supplying them
with much OF their personal requirements, matter
OF no little civic pride We quite as proud Of our

forts of County Solicitor.

passed a resolution at yesterdays
meeting commenting attempts made by
Solicitor William Fisher and the other
county authorities to cleanup the
city. especially with reference to the
suppression of the sale Of iutoxfcants
AIr. Fisher appeared before the as
sociation by invitation and spoke at
some length on his efforts and the
difficulties he has encountered. Chief
among his complaints is the shyness
people have about offering evidence.
Mr.. Fisher says il people would tell
him what they know about the illegal
sale Of liquor it would be simple
matter to cleanup the city and the
county.
The retailers, according 10 their
resolution. win give Mr.. Fisher what
support they can, the organization
being able TO give moral support only
but Mr. Fisher has been assured by
several individuals that something
more substantial than moral support
will be forthcoming as a result OF his
convincing arguments.

SMOOT ATTACKS
SUGAR PRICES
Says Retail Dealers Charging
p cents a Pound Ought to be
Handled by Palmer.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Retail dealers
charging % cents a pound for sugar
were attacked in the senate today by
Senator Smoot, republican of Utah,
who declared "they ought to be han
died" by the attorney general.
sSixty-five per cent of the beet
sugar crop has been delivered" Sena-
tor Smoot said and if there is any
boarding, the attorney general should
find out who is boarding it and stop
it. Here in Washington dealers are
charging % cents and selling only two
pounds at a time. There is no excuse
for it. There is plenty of law to deal
in drastic fashion with these profiteers
and the people ought not to be forced
to pay such prices"
Purchase of the remainder of the
Cuban crop, estimated at $3.50, 900
tons to stabilize and reduce prices TO
the American consumer was urged in
cablegram received from Hafael
Montoro, secretary to the president of
Cuba, by Senator McNary, republican
of Oregon. President Wilson has an
nounced his decision not to make the
purchase on the recommendation of
the sugar equalization board.
The eablegram expressed regret the
United States had failed to secure the
Cuban output adding that the Cuban
government had, put forth every ef-
fort to conclude by agreement with
the American government the dispo-
sition of the entire output of Cuban
sugar for the year 1920"

who the candidate will be.
The republicans are at standstill

can learn if President Wilson is again
to be the nominee.

held at the Shoreham hotel here on
the night of the meeting of the demo-

as democrats will be focused on that
gathering because it is expected to
clarity the whole political atmosphere
by answering the following important
questions:

of a candidate to choose?
