 III
 The difference between the democratic policy and the republican in respect to the covenant and treaty is now clearly defined So is the difference between President Wilson's ideals and those of the present republican leaders.
 Which ideals are the majority of the American voters going to prefer? Which leaders are they going to follow-the heirs of President Wilson's policies, or the republican leaders who have kept the United States out of the league and poured contempt and insults on President Wilson's character, manners and meas- ures?
 If President Wilson's estimate of the moral quality of the American people is correct, many young voters, and many ex-soldiers, many fathers and mothers of sens who died or were crippled in the war, and many nonpartisan or indepen- dent voters will take the noble and dis interested a'de. and reject the leadership oE tssese ruuAblicans who have lost sight of tAr saNtstnat the republican party was sH ifs eriss' the party which stood for hEnAn aoeFty. for justice to the op- pFesssd @nd for great expectancy Of sued for suffering humanity

OFFICIALS DIsAPpOINTED

officials were greatly disappointed today at the showing made by Alabama in the federal census. They thought Alabama had made a greater increase in popula- ton than 9.s per cent and that the state had more citizens than 2.347 ,295 given as the states population by the govern ment. ~
 The bad showing was attributed to the abandonment of the farms and the re- moval of farmers sons and daughters to the industries of other states How ever, Governor Kiby and other state officials believed the increase in popula- tion of the mineral district of Birmng- ham and the shipbnilding territory of Mobile would be far greater than the decrease in the rural sections and that Alabama would show net gain of al least one-half million persons

American Refining Company Will Require Wholesalers to Live Up to Contracts in
 Spite of Big Decline
By Associated Press

Boston October 6.--The Revere Sugar Refiinery today announced a price of 1A cents a pound for refined sugar. Two
 weeks ago the company quoted a nomi- ina1 price of 221k cents pound, with the announcement that it was 'out of the market" but since that time it has made several reductions.
 W. E. Foster, vice-president of the American Sugar Refining Company, in statement to Attorney General Aliea today, in connection with the latter s inquiry, said the company would require wholesalers to live up to their contracts for sugar at 221s cents a pound notwith- standing recent declines. The company would not be justified in using it's sur plus of s2s, coo to offset losses of it's customers, he said. adding that if such a policy were seriously undertaken by the management any stockholderNwouid have a right to enjoin the proceedings. "Is it not a fact that pressure was brought to bear on jobbers to contract for sugar at 2212 cents a pound?' Attor- ney General Allen asked the witness. NIT.

 coo. .ooO'' the operating profits made by
 the American company during the nrst
 eight months of the year. Attorney s1en-
 eral Allen then sought to obtain from the
 witness a statement as to the extent to
 which this profit would be impaired if
 the company reduced it's price on the
 1000 tons of sugar which Mfr. Foster
 said it had on hand
 MT. Foster estimated that if the com
 pany reduced it's price or the unde-
 livered sugar to meet the present mar
 ket conditions it would cause loss of

 asked eff you took a loss of cents

 wouldn't your"
 ''So it appears" the witness replied after discussion Of the calculations in volved. but he added there were many incidental expenses to be considered. Calling the attention of Mir. Foster to a previous statement by him that the company conducted it's business on the basis of an ultimate net profit on the year the attorney general continued' 'Then with net profit of $11 900, 00d in eight months, a possible loss of $4,500,000 will still leave the company a profit for the year of s6.eO0,ooo would it not?"
 Mir. Foster said it would, but he said there might be some loss to the com pany if it had to buy Tn new sugars
 at price higher than it had con tracted to sell for.
 Mir. Foster said that the total stock of sugar which the company has on hand is 116,000 barrels, and its unde- livered outstanding contracts call for 131. 900 barrels
