WATSON STEWART CANDIDATE
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER r

Watson H. Stewart, Republican

Delta.
In the early days of this county he

ers.

Delta was adopted in 1912, Mr.. Stewart
was elected to carry out the new
form of government. being chosen as
commissioner of public affairs and ex.
officio mayor. In 1915 he was re-
elected and served until 1917, when
W. D. Hines was elected.
Mr.. Hines resigned the position
after about one year. The two other
city commissioners appointed Mt.
Stewart on recommendation of the
citizens of Delta and he held the po-
sition until 1921 when he retired.
During the period dating back to
1887 when Mr.. Stewart first landed
In Delta county, his career has varied.
Ranching and business pursuits have
been his principal undertakings.
During these times, when the indi-
vidual taxpayer, as we'll as the heav-
lest taxpayer wants the very best for
every dollar of public money which
goes into the county treasurer
vote for Watson H. Stewart for coun-
ty commissioner. will be step in the
right direction.
He has been tried. His past record
speaks for itself. He is honest and
capable in every way. II you want

needed to provide remedies to enforce

reduction be obtained of existing rates
which are so burdensome that busi-
ness cannot long continue to pay
them.
And in no other way can railroad
labor be protected in living and sta
bilized wage. What this question
needs is not new law but provisions
to enforce the law we have.
We must stand for a revival of busi-
ness in which all classes can fairly
share. This can only occur by re-
vival of mutual respect between and
cooperation by all classes of our peo
pie l have no faith that low prices.
low profits and cheap labor can bring
of our people. 1t is only the fortunate
few who prosper under such condi.
tions What this nation needs is a
high level of farm profits; high level
of wages; these are the source of all
bushes profits; and In particular we
need and must have higher level of
quality and service in trade and COM
merce; higher level Of efficiency and
loyalty to the job; a higher level of
loyalty and respect for our Govern
ment and it's laws; higher level of
strictness and impartiality in the en-
forcement of law.
For it is only when the greater num-
ber of all classes of our people enjoy
comfortable circumstances, and the Sc
curity of public order exists, that we
can have opportunity to reflect and
choose after deliberation the best ways
and means to meet emergencies and
dispose of vital questions as they arise.

THE MURDER.
VERY LITTLE IS DIvuLGED
Efforts to "Hush Up" the Scandal u
Feared-Peddler of Narcotics
Sought-MsbIe Normand's
Letters Missing.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The police are
seeking the murderer of William Des
mond Taylor, the man who lived two
lives OF mystery, are no nearer to the
solution of the crime than they were
when the body was discovered.
A motion picture actor and camera
man taken into custody by deputy
sheriffs and questioned at length for
possible clews as to the murder estab-
lished alibis for Wednesday night, the
time OF the Staying, and otherwise sat
isfied the officers of their innocence
OF all completely and were released.
Their names were not made public.
In reality, a motion picture actor
far better known than the one ques-
toned is reported to be under suspi-
cion. Jealousy is ascribed as the mo-
tive and In this connection names Of
women stars are mentioned.
1t was learned that police rest their
hopes of a solution of the mystery.-on
series OF tiny ridges and whorls and
loops, the faint lines made on the
smooth surfaces of doors and tables
and chair arms in the cozy bachelor
flat where Taylor lived, on finger
prints, and on the information to be
obtained from a band of dope peddlers
they are watching, and ON the arrest
OF Taylor's former valet, Edward #.
Sands.
The finger prints, though, are the
most reliable clews SO far found and
in them rests the fate of some OF the
pfettiest stars In the movie colony.
1t is impossible to tell the finger
print OF man from that of woman,
but an expert might be able to make
good guess from the size and shape
OF the print, and 1t seems that num-
Der of women left their identities
stamped in the prosaic furniture in the
dead mans rooms.
Many OF the movie stars have been
questioned by the police. Mabel Nor
mand, who left Taylor few minutes
before he was killed; Mary Miles Min
ter, who became hysterical when she
heard OF the murder, and others known
to have been fond of him at some time
during his life in Hollywood, have been
interviewed by the police. but have
been unable to furnish the slightest
clew. Can the others tell anything
of value?
A woman called UP the detective
headquarters and said she had some
information on the murder. Detectives
went hurriedly to her home, but would
not say what she had revealed. 1t was
the first bit of information given vol

WILL NOT MAKE ANY FIGHT ON
THE RESULTS or THE
CONFERENCE.
SILENCE IS THE FORECAST
Ex-PresIdent Does Not Think II Ad-
visable to interfere With Con-
eress-Underwood VIII Be
Questioned by Democrats.

ashingtOn-Former President Will
son is not expected to indicate any
public attitude, either for or against
the treaties growing out of the disarm-
ament conference. according TO some
Of his friends in the senate. Until the
present time it was believed probable
that Mr.. Wilson would fully outline
his views for the benefit of the coun-
try and senators, but 1t was said that
he will maintain position of neutral
ity and silence.
1t is explained by Mr.. Wilson's
friends that the former president is
rapidly being restored to general pub
lie favor and that it would be unwise
for him to arouse popular sentiment
in one direction or the other while this
process OF rehabilitation is in progress
It would not be advisable for the ex-
president to play politics, although 1t
is not unbecoming for his friends In
the senate to do so.
The positive belief now prevailing
that Mr.. Wilson will give no advice
regarding disapproval or ratification
of the arms parley treaties may cause
a general disruption OF the opposition
that has been built up largely on that
impression. 1t makes it's easier for
the democratic leaders who favor fol-
lowing public sentiment in this matter.
They can stand aside and permit the
republicans to approve the treaties
and place their action on the high
plane of non-partisanship.
The disintegration OF this opposition,
which was estimated among the den }
Gratis alone at % votes, may mean the
smoothing Of a pathway for treaties.
1t might result in leaving but mere
handful OF former irreconcilables on
each side to battle alone, with final
defeat certain. While this condition
has not actually arisen. surface indi-
cations are pointing in that direction.
The democratic senators adhere to
their agreements that no definite opin-
ions shall be announced until after
hearing Minority Leader Underwood
fully explain all the various pacts re.
sulting from the arms parley. In ad.
dition. Mr.. Underwood would be open
for questioning after the presentation
Of his explanations.

PRICE INQUIRY LAes.
Not Likely to Be Carried Through At
This Session.

Washington.-The inter-departmen.
tai board for the investigation Of prof
iteernig in foodstuffs anu necessities.
which Attorney General Daugherty
planned in connection with the depart
ment of justice inquiry, has failed to
make it's appearance. Officials of the
department of commerce and labor say
they have not been asked to name rep

The impression has been created
that Mr.. Daugherty has found little
the fundamental government can do
against the alleged profiteers toward
which the inquiry was originally aimed.
Some time ago Director Burns of the
bureau Of investigation submitted
data the attorney general called for ON
the comparative prices OF retailers in
different parts of the country and on
the relative price of building on raw
and finished products.
