JOHN PAUL TO
RESIGN SENATE
To Give Up State Senate Job TO
Take Seat of T. w. Harrison
In Congress.

Winchester, Va, Dec. 1S-Unless
he already has done so; it is expect
ed Representative John Paul, Repub-
lican, Harrisonburg, who was last
Friday seated in Congress from the
Seventh Virginia district in place of
Representative Harrison, Democrat,
Winchester, will send his resignation
to Governor Trinkle as State Senator
from Rockingham county. II is un-
derstood the State Constitution does
not permit any citizen of Virginia to
hold two elective offices at the same
time, and it is thought Mr.. Paul will
lose no time resigring the tSate Sen
atorship.
Whether an election will be called
in Rockingham county to fill the va
cancy that is expected TO occur as a
result of Mr.. Pauls probable resig-
nation may be determined by the
Governors attitude on the question Of
calling a special session of the Gen
eral Assembly to take up the prob
lem of financing the States road
building program, either by a bond
issue or imposition of tax on gaso-
line. Unless special session of the
Legislature is called, it is said there
is no need of an election in Rocking
ham county to select some one to sue
ceed Mr.. Paul in the State Senate. as
all members of the Legislature, SEN
ators and Delegates, will be elected at
regular election next November.
1t was reported today, however,
that some of Mr.. Paul's friends in
cline to the view that there need be
no haste in his resigning as a State
Senator, especially when the Legis-
lature is not in session. and that he
may be guided by what the Governor
does with respect to calling special
session. 1t was pointed out that Mr..
Paul will be a member of Congress
only until March 4, 1923. when Judge
Harrison again goes into office from
which he was ousted Friday as an
outcome of the contested election case
of 1920. and that Mr.. Paul may do
what he can to hold on to the State
Senatorship while serving a little
more than two months in Congress.
There are many, however, who view
such a possible course as this with
saying that Mr.. Paul
should be satisfied with one offici and
back salary of about $4,000.

HAYS WILL HELP
IN DRUG SCARE

Los Angeles, Dee. 18-Will II.
Havs TODAY declared he will cooper
ate with state and federal authorities
to stamp out the narcotic evil in Hoi-
lywood. if he is called upon to do so.
However. he will not assume con-
troll of the dope" investigation there,
he made clear.
al am not the 'arbiter of Holly
woods morals" Hays again empha-
sized. "My mission is not to mete
out punishment or to get in judi
cial capacity but to work construc-
lively to remodel the motion picture
industry until it is sound to the core,
and is serving the public TO the ut
most of its artistic and educational
capacity"
LAS for Wallace Reid, my sympa-
thies and the sympathies of all good
people are with him."
Reid is recovering at Hollywood
sanitarium from physical break
down. according to Dorothy Daven-
port Reid, his film star wife, and her
mother. They declared they blame
Wally's fair weather friends who
made his home "road house" and
the heavy work he was froced to un-
dergo for his plight.
Hays assertion he will not act as
supreme censor of morals of movie
stars was in answer to whether he
would start active investigation of
the dope" situation in the movie
colony.
a cannot act as policeman any
more than can the head of any other
large corporation in case of this
kind, but must leave it to the legally
constituted authorizes, he said.
81 will, however, cooperate with
the authorities in every way in case
they call on me, but it would be pre-
sumptous for me to assume control
of an investigation which is their bus
mess" '"'
Hays statement is taken here to in
dicate clearly for the first time, and
despite his spectacular barring Of Fat
tv Arbuckle, that he is not TO be re-
warded as Judge Lands of the
OWES" with rigid powers ovc
duct and behavior of stars, but is
more to be regarded as a combination
efficiency expert and large scale well
fare worker.

VISIT AFTER TODAY'S MEETING

meet this afternoon at A o'clock.
Kind Felix's are coming in with the
real spirit and are giving everything
that can help anyone. The children
seem assured of at least reminder Of
the season. There is no reason now
that any should be missed within this
city. All remaining to be done now is
to make perfect the plan whereby the
various charitable organizations will
not overlap on one another's territory
in some portions of the city and miss
others in another part. This is the
reason FOR the meeting this afternoon.
Never before have AleXandrians en-
tered so whole-heartedly in any under
taking. The result can be none but
good.
Everyone viii be h<.py this Christ

part? Have you contributed to the
happiness that is to reign supreme IN

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TO DECIDE !.
IFT HAS RIGHT OF SUBPOENA

Impeachment against Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty.
If the committee concludes, as is
forecast, that il has the power to
subpoena a member of congress, Kel-
Ter may be given final chance to ap-
pear, ard if he again refuses, it is
probable that he then will! be cited for
contempt and recommendation
made that he be given appropriate
disciplinary action before the bar of
the House.
Some members of the committee
Judging from their past expressions,
would undoubtedly insist that Keller
be ordered to make public retrac-
ton of his impeachment charges, but
it is believed that in the end the coH
mittee will vote to report the en-
tire matter back to the House for
such action as the House shall see fit
to take.
That would transfer to hhe House
floor the fight on Kellers contention
that member of Congress is not
bound to honor a committee subpoe-
ma. The Minnesota congressman is
standing on the section in the Con-
stitution which prohibits the arrest
of any member of Congress except
for treason, felony or breach of the
peace. Power of subpoena, he de-
clares, is nothing IL the ultimate but
the power to arrest and punish.
Should Keller's position be main
tains successfully it will set an un-
fortunate precedent, in the minds of
judiciary committeeman, who point
cut that it would prmit members of
congress to impeach any official Of
the government and then refuse to
appear before an INVESTIGATING body to
testify in support of their charges.
The Judiciary Comittee will start
is own hunt for evidence on the Kel-
ler charges tomorrow. REPRESENTA-
tives Woodruff, Mich, and Johnson.
S. D., republicans, have been asked
to appear them in support of charges
they made in the House some months
ago to the effect that Darghertv had
been lax in prosecuting war grafters.
Both congressman have signitied their
willingness to appear.

GOVERNORS NOT
TO HELP "DRYS"
Expect Conference To Be OF Little
Benefit In Dry Law Enforcement
Police Against II.

Washington, Dec. 18-The confer
ence of Governors staged at the White
House today for the purpose of devils
ing ways and means for fighting the
laxity in enforcement Of the dry
laws throughout the country will
probably not result in any great bene-
fits from the standpoint of prohibi-
ton authorities.
1t has been the contention of Off
Gals of the Department Of Justice,
despite the contrary view held by
Col. Roy A. Haynes, head of the pro-
hibition unit, that state police au-
thorities and even U. S. district at
tcrneys have had no heart whatever
in the enforcement of the Eighteenth
amendment. They have contended
that the great majority of people in
the larger centres of the nation have
never been in favor of such drastic
dry laws and that as consequence
local police have frowned upon the
tlOIlS VI Vic lSdClGA BO'Ni 49,
keep these big cities dry.
1t has been pointed out by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon on more
than one occasion that it would re-
quire the entire army, navy and mar
Inc corps to keep check on the army
of bootleggers and rum runners now
operating in all sections of the United
States. Even with this force at its
command, the government could not
cope with the situation, in the judg-
ment of Secretary Mellon.
Naturally, there are many Gov
ernors who are regarded as dry
but they find it is a hard matter 70
deal with community whose citizens
are against prohibition and whose of
ticials are doing everything in their
power to defeat .. the purposes for
which the Volstead law was framed
and placed OH the statute books.
The President has called attention
to the condition which exists through
out the country and to the difficult
task confronting the government in
its efforts to enforce the law against
the use Of intoxicants. But despite
the fact that the heartiest cooperation
might be promised by the executives
of the various commonwealths, the
task of prohibition enforcement is rea-
lized by them to be very difficult
one. So long as the people of the
country, or at least, considerable
percentage Of them, demand lntoxi-
eating liquors, it is inconceivable that
tho illicit traffic in booze will ever be
wiped out. a.

Ten iOut-of- Town Districts
Now Have Their Favor
ties in Prize Distribution
BIG VOTES NOW ON
Hardly More Active Candidates At
This Time Than Prizes To Be
Observation-Disclosures Should BE
Sent In without Delay.

New faces" in the hDe-up-new
and greater activity are the things
that are bolstering up The Gazette's
100000 automobile and cash prize
campaign to point where it is at
tracing the attention of all AleSan-
dria and surrounding country.
Some Of the out-of-town districts
which have net been represented be-
fore have entered their favorites ii
the campaign. These out-of town con-
testants will doubtless give a good
account Of themselves in the vote
standings as they are published from
time TO time.
New Alexandria entrants have be-
gun their campaigns and, If reports
reaching campaign headquarters are
TO be believed, these newly nominated
contenders will make some OF the
others hustle TO maintain their very
narrow margins of leadership.
Votes are coming in with little
more rapidity than at any time since
the campaign was first announced.
The preparation period" Is now
passed. It's the time for real action
now.
The Importance of the present First
Period BIG VOTES schedule cannot
be over emphasized. Now the vote
schedule is at its highest point. Your
subscriptions will never again be
worth as many votes rs they are
right at this time. The big vote
schedule will never be repeated or ex-
tended. There will never be any Eek
ira votes" or bonus votes" offered.
In no way will the vote schedule be
changed from the original announce
ment. So there is nothing to be gain
cd by waiting or delaying. On the
other hand, however, there is much
TO be lost by those who do not grasp
the opportunities offered by this all
important First. Period.
You may think you have plenty of
time and that there is no need for
haste but it should be borne in mind
that The Gagette's campaign is an ex-
tremely short one.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are now easy 10 get
since the field has hardly been touch
ed. Most of your friends will be
glad to give you their subscriptions
when you explain to them the saving
they make by subscribing for six
months or q year or more in advance.
Up to this time there are hardly
more active candidates than there are
prizes to be awarded. The oppor-
tunity for Give wires" TO enter the
campaign is actually calling aloud.
Do you want this l,765.00 REQ
the S597.00 Chevrolet or one OF the
cash awards OF will you sit idly By
with your hands folded, saying "it
can't be done" while some more am
bilious candidate gets the big reward
you, yourself. could have won?
You, who are reading this, are the
one to decide whether you are to
share in The Gazette's big distribu-
ton of prizes.
Don't just think it over when you
can put it over"
Get into the campaign now with 9
vim and a dash. Promise yourself
that you will be the one to land the
biggest prize in the list.

Staggering Demand.

Referring to the proposed bonus foi

Mr. Nolan said
Now on top Of the cost Of the car
ing for the poor fellows who cannot
take care of themselves. the American
Legion demands that Congress shall pro-
vide $4,000. 100000 TO be distributed
arnong able-bodied men who suffered no
injury. IL the American Legion Off
cials get away with their scheme the
cost OF il. combined with that of caring
for the disabled. would be staggering
and deservedly wiring a protest from
the entire country. What will people
say to giving more money for the dis
sbled il $4,000. 900. 900 Is TO be taken
from them to be distributed among the
able bodied who gained something in
stead OF losing anything as result OF
their services in the war. They viii
say, My God. what do those fellows
want? We've just given them $4,000
00o 900 which Is supposed to pay off
all the so-called obligations of the coun-
try TO the men who served in the war;.
THE disabled veterans VIII be the
biggest losers II the bonus bill becomes
a law. They will not benefit by its pro-
visions but will have TO help pay the
cost of 1t through taxes. The officials
Of the American Legion and those Of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars are adj
vocnting the bonus for selfish or political
reasons Some OF them expect to get
big political jobs because they claim TO
pc able to control the votes OF tEeir
organizations.
When the American Legion was or
CARRIED Il was for the proclaimed pur-
pose of combating Sovistism. One of
their platform declarations was for
adequate legislation for the disabled
To show whether they arc living up to
this II Is only necessary for us to say
that the biggest stumbling block IN our

attitude of the officials of the American
