Heaven and if these charges are un-
founded, then perhaps we can get
some highway legislation through
that is so much needed and that the
public demands.
81 am glad this resolution has been
introduced. There has been an un-
,dercurrent rumor in the Legislature
some time which has crippled the eff
ficiency of the department and re-
tarded legislation. Mr., Kramers
term expires April Ia, and if he is
not the man for the place, then the
commissioners and the public are en-
titled to know it and | feel sure that
the committee, the personal of which
| have just seen, will render a report
that will be helpful to the commission
in doing the best thing to promote
good roads in Mississippi.
81 sincerely trust that when this
report has been made, that We will
have no more haggling over road leg
islation, but will get something passed
worth while.
"The highway department ought t.
be either abolished or given a sup
port commensurate with its import
ance to the public and such support a
will enable it to cooperate with th'
federal bureau of public roads and il
the distribution of federal aid to th
/ highways, so as Mississippi will no

BORAH ATTACKS WOOD

Washington, March 22-Charges
that Maj. Gen. Leonard Woods cam
paign for the Republican presidential
nomination is being backed by large
financial interests which have raised
a practically unlimited fund for the
purpose, brought forth from Senator
Borah, Idaho, Republican today, a
demand that Gen. Wood take the pub
lie entirely into his confidence regard
ing his financial hackers. Senator
Hiram Johnson, California, recently
declared that Gen, Wood had brought
undue influence to bear in the recent
Minnesota presidential preference
primaries.
Borahj Statement.
In formal statement this after
noon Senator Borah said
"Therc is only one way for a man
to meet the serious charges made
against Gen. Wood and his managers,
and that is TO deal openly and can
didly with the public In the present
condition Of the public mind a mah
seeking public favor cannot remain
silent under such charges and escape
conviction. What Gen. Wood and lbs
managers should do is to come out,
not with the ordinary denial, but a
public statement, giving the public
the names Of the subscribers to his
campaign fund, the amount Of their
subscription and the manner in which
it is being used They owe it TO theit
candidate, stil more to the party and
most Of all 60 the country to clear
those charges in an unmistakablc
way. And this is the only way they
can be cleared up satisfactorily, The
Republicans, in my judgment, will de
mand nothing less.
"The use Of money in elections has
reached point where the people will
have to take hold of it, and in my
judgment the people will do so. It is
nothing less than a national peril
that two months before the conven-
tion the use of money in the attempt
to control the convention has reached
the point of scandal.
81 have seen letters from South Da-
kota, Virginia and Illinois showing
that the people generally are becom
! ing very restless in the face Of the
apparent use Of money for corrupt
purposes. No candidate for the pres
idency this year can carry throug!

nomination was brought abou
through the money of wealthy men

NO REACTION In
PROHIBITION
Sen TIMENT 7

Washington, March 20.-America
must remain dry, as far as this ses-
sion Of Congress is concerned, despite
wet claims of reaction against pro-
hibition, House leaders said today.
Reports have been circulated that
the dry ranks in Congress were break
ing under "many protests and that
because of the approaching elections
efforts would be made to modify the
prohibition laws.
This was emphatically denied today
by Representative Volstead Of Mime
sofa, ,chairman Of the judiciary COM
mittee, VINO stated that in all proba-
bility the various bills to allow the
sale Of light beer and wines under
constitutional prohibition and other
wise to make the enforcement laws
less drastic, will not eyen be consid-
cred this session by his committee.
Volstead declared that he had been
informed by House leaders that the
sentiment of the House on prohibition
has not changed in any material way
since the enforcement laws were
passed by a majority of more than
two-thirds.
The only demand for modification is
coming from the vets, he said, indi-
eating that the drys are not fearing a
reaction in the next election,
"More than two-thirds of the House
supported the enforcement act and |
can see no reaction among the mem
.bers now" Volstead said
II think some of these people who
have been talking Of terrific reac-
ton throughout the country probably
are fooling only themselves
Representative Dyer of Missouri, a
strong wet, also is opposed to tam
pering with the dry laws now, claim
ing that if an attempt is made to
modify them the prohibitionists,
through their large majority, might
"force through something worse"
