BESCHER, REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE, SUBMITS
STATEMENT TODAY

The following statement by B. A.
Bescher, Republican nominee for may
or, was submitted Saturday:
To the people of Richmond: / have
repeatedly said that | am not under
obligations to any man or set of men
and that l will honestly and independ-
emily administer the affairs OF this
city when | am elected.
In spite of this my opponent, Mr..
Handley, says of me, mo matter how
sincere and honest my opponent is in
his declarations that he will not be
influenced by any of the ring / am
of the opinion that if he is elected he
will be h-mpered by obligations to men
with whom he has been associated for
the past II years"
Those who are advocating Mr.. Han
dley's candidacy are circulating re.
ports that | am under obligation to DR..
Zimmerman and that my election will
result in another Zimmerman admin
istration
The results of the Republican prim.
ary in which | was nominated and DR.
Zimmerman was defeated, are con
yincing facts to unprejudiced and
thinking voters as to the falSity OF
such campaign rumors.
Furthermore, DR.. Zimmerman is not
an issue in this campaign. Aside from
! the result of the primary, he is a sick
man. To interject him into the pres
! ent campaign is too much like hitting
| man when he is down.
| AS to Mr.. Handley's opinion" thai
| will be hampered by obligations to
men with whom | have been associat
| ed for the past IL years that is pure
unadulterated campaign buncombe
! And Mr. Handley has known me per
sonally enough years to know so.
/ Obligated to Citizens.
/ | was successful in the primary ir
spite of the lack of political organi
zation | was nominated by plural
; ity of the Republican voters and moi
! by any organization. Consequently
am free from obligations to any indi
viduaI or set of individuals. l an
obligated as a result of my selection
in the primary to all those who voted
| therein and to all the citizens of Rich
mond.
! Under that obligation therefore,
repeat what have always said during
| this campaign, will appoint the bes
men | can obtain to office, | will be

/ and all it's citizens, and as mayor
will administer that office to the bes
of my ability and according to the ex

PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Nov 5.-County
agricultural agent work, after 10 years
of experimentation and development,
has proved itself an indispensable fac
tor in agricultural communities OF
the country, according to circular
recently issued by the department of
agriculture.
Indiana counties, it appears, with
few exceptions. including Wayne,
have accepted the agricultural agent
at the worth in which he is held by
the department of agriculture. Wayne
county has at times employed an ag-
ricultural agent, but never for any ex-
tended period.
The county agent system, accord
ing to the department of agriculture,
has awakened the farmers economic
instincts and it is helping him to
stand on an equality with other busi-
ness interests.
In many communities, the depart
ment states, the county agent has
brought about reorganization of ru-
raj social conditions which make coun-
try living more satisfactory, and he
has brought to the country boy and
! girl a new respect for the farm and
new and better vision of country
life
| Statement Gives History
! The statement issued by the depart
ment gives brief history of the coun-
! ty agent work from it's inception in
! 1911 in Broome county, New York. By
/ the end of June, 1913, about 100 coun-
/ ty agents were employed in 19 states
! The passage of the agricultural ex
J tension act in May, 1914, and later
the food production emergency of the
| World war, led to the rapid expansion
of the county agent force, which now
numbers 1,166 agents in agricultural
counties. Iowa and Minnesota arc
the only states which have a com
plete quota of these agents.
! 1t is stated that the early efforts
OF county agents were poorly received
by nearly every community and in
many instances their work was openly
resented by the farmers. The agricul
! ture department advises that this fric
ton has disappeared in practically ev
cry agricultural community.
1t is pointed out that county agents

sixteen SINN FEINERS
RAID POLICE BARRACKS;
CAPTURE AMMUNITION
CBy Associated Press

BELFAST, Nov 5. = Sixteen Sim
Feiners raided the police barracks at
Kesh, county Fermanagh, last night,
overpowered the four constables in
charge, seized all the rifles and am
munition and escaped. They took ad-
vantage of the absence of most of the
garrison, who had gone to Enniskilen
to attend a boxing tournament.
General Tudor, Irish police chief,
Col Wockam, Ulster divisional COM
missioner, and other high police Off
cials were at the tournament.
Police were rushed TO the scene of
the raid, but the Sim Feiners had
escaped.
LONDON, Nov. 5.-Sir James Craig,
premier of Ulster, arrived here today
from Belfast He denied reports that
he would have important conferences
with Prime Minister Lloyd George and
Sir Edward Carson, former Ulster
leader in the house of commons.
"I have no appointment to see Mr..
Lloyd George, or any other political
engagement of any kind whatever
he declared.
He added that his visit to London
was not the result of summons or
an invitation from any one. He said
he had come, with his wife, to meet
their sons, students at Eton, who
would spend the weekend in this city
Whether he would see Lloyd George
or make any political engagements,
he indicated, remained to be deter
mined.
Colonel Spender, secretary of the
Ulster cabinet, accompanied Sir James
to London while the lord mayor at
Belfast, an influential member of the
Ulster Unionist party, was a passen.
ger on the same train.
1t was learned that a formal invita-
ton had been extended Sir James by
the government, but that word had
been conveyed to him that Mr. Lloyd
George desired to see him during his
visit in this city.

ARMS POLICY
OF JAPAN TO
BE UNCHANGED
Cabinet Resigns But Will Con-
tinue in Office Until Further
Notice From Throne-En-
voys Seek Peace.
UCHIDA ASSUMES RE|NS
(By Associated Press)


TOXIC. Nov. g. The Japanese cab
met resigned office after a meeting
OF the members this morning.
The resignation of the cabinet which
came as direct result of the assas-
sination of Premier Hara yesterday
will not cause any immediate change
in the government as the ministry
IN obedience to Imperial Injunction
will continue in office until further
notice from the throne
There will be no change in policy
either diplomatic or domestic, es-
pecially towards the Washington con-
ference on limitation of armaments
and Far Eastern problems, acting
Premier Uchida, stated.
THE delegates will put forth their
best efforts for the sake of world
peace in pursuance of the fundamen-
tai policy on ornaments limitations
already laid down in the name of
the government" he said.
Viscount Uchida will take up the
affairs of the Ministry of Marines,
to which Premier Hara had been
giving attention after the departure
of Admiral Kato, the head of that
ministry, for the Washington con-
ference.
Cablegrams expressing horror over
the assassination yesterday of Takab
bi Hara, the premier, came into Toxic
today from the capitals of virtually
all nations The attack on NJ. Hara
was made by a demented youth. and
there is no definite knowledge as vet
that it had its genesis in the political
rancor which actuated bitter assaults
upon M. Hara and his government in
the recent past,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Details of
the assassination of Premier Hara at
Toxic were awaited eagerly today not
only by the Japanese embassy and
delegation to the armament confer
ence but by officials of the American
government and all delegations to the
conference Beyond brief messages
announcing the assassination no in
| formation had been received in Of
| ficial or unofficial circles at an early
| hour today.
| Although official advices were re-
| ceiyed by the state department an
nouncing the death of the premier, the
Japanese embassy stated that it had
received no official notification of the
assassination and pending such re.
ceipt would withhold comment. All
| Japanese social functions attendent on
| the forthcoming conference however,
have been postponed.
| Whether the death of the japanese
premier might affect plans for the
armament conference within the Jap
anese delegation or otherwise was a
question to which an answer was
| looked for today. In the absence OF
detailed information from Toxic no
comment has been made on this posi-.
bility.
