REPRESENTATIVE DID
NOT SPEND A DOLLAR
IN RECENT CAMPAIGN

Washington Nov. 16,-Repre-
sentative Graham, republican, H.
linois, did not spend any money
in his campaign for recollection and
he so stated in q report filed today
with the clerk of the house. But
he added this, said to be different
from anything ever put in an ex-
pense report heretofore:
lowing to the fact that the sem
ators from my state have absorbed
all the federal patronage, and ow-
ing to the further lamentable fact
that the durn fool alleged civil
service order of the president has
prevented me from naming post

policies and warned his adversaries
that the fascist government has
come to stay. He affirmed its
strength to enforce law and order
against one and all even against
an illegal coup by his followers
and he demanded fun powers and
full responsibilities.
The fascist leader proclaimed
policy of action, not words. He

was frequently applauded and
cheered

There are many who think that
the premier will force the chamber
to vote as soon as the minister Of
the treasury has developed the de-
tails of the fiscal and bureaucratic
reforms on the fascist program,
The premiers entrance TO the
crowded chamber was hailed with
cheers. The points Of his speech
meeting with special approval were
his declaration that he did not
need a majority in parliament. his
tribute to the king, his reference
to the army and insistence upon
order and tranquility in the coun-
try.
The premier then went to the
senate and delivered the same
speech, being greeted with no less
enthusiasm.

B0NAR LAW WILL
HAVE MAJORITY
IN PARLIAMENT
Downfall of Lloyd George
ism Is the Outstanding
Feature of the Recent
Elections in England.

London, Nov. 16 (by the Asso-
ciated Press) The long drawn
out fight between former Premier
Lloyd George and Sir George
Younger has for the time ended
with victory for the chairman of
the unionist party. Younger AMI
his adherents staked their political
fortunes at the famous Carlton
club meeting which smashed the
coalition and sent Lloyd Georga
into the wilderness on the convic-
ton that the country was ripe for
a return to strong party politics
and in the firm belief that the ma
ton would support their convic-
tions by sending the conservatives
to the house of commons with a
good working majority.
Confidence Justified.
Their confidence has been amply
justified. Yesterdays elections
have returned a parliament with
almost the same overwhelming
predominance Of conservatives as
the last parliament elected in 1918
on a wave Of grateful enthusiasm
to Lloyd George as winner of the
war"
In the new parliament Premier
Bonar Law will command a major
ity over all parties combined of
approximately eighty.
While this cannot be described
properly as a landslide. as the con-
serVatiyes at the same time of the
dissolution Of parliament numb,
ed about $50 it amounts almost to
the same thing. considering the
peculiar circumstance of the time
and the high hopes held bv the
labor and liberal parties of the re-
turn Of the country to progressive
views. and it may be supposed tha.
the conservatives themselves hard
~ expected such favorable results
Following Reduced.
1t means a parliament with little
changes, except that Mr.. Bonar
Law replaces Mr.. Lloyd George as
premier and that the former pre-
mler's attenuated following Of ma
tlonal liberals, reduced by the cleo
tons to under fifty. will presum
ably henceforth be in opposition,
instead Of working in cooperation
with the conservatives
The downfall of Lloyd George,s,n
is the outstanding feature of The
elections. The coalition liberals

are represented in the new parlia
ment by only A members. There
VIII be many regrets among the
former premier's admirers that he

IMP PROVEMENT IN
LIVE OCk AND
RANGES IN THE
WEST REPORTED
Federal Bureau at Denver
Issues Report ON Condi-
tionS in II States for the
Month of October,
RAIN AND SNOW HAVE
BROKEN THE DROUGHT
Average Is 81 Per Cent Of
Normal, Compared With
80 Per Cent When Pre-
ViouS Survey Was Made,

Denver, Nov. 16.--General i'm
royement throughout the west in
livestock and range conditions dur
ing the month of October is in
dicated in the monthly reports is
sued tonight by division headquar-
ters here Of the federal bureau Of
crop and livestock estimates.
Rain and snow coming on the
heels of a comparatively extended
period of lack of precipitation inn
proved the open ranges in six west
ern states sufficiently to offset the
slight deterioration elsewhere in
the west, declared the report,
which is compiled from reports OF
field statisjcians.
The average condition in the II
range states on November l, the
reports states, was 81 per cent of
normal, compared with so per cent
on October /, this year. These
averages refer chiefly to the open
range. The greatest improvement
was in Texas, Montana, Wyoming,
Nevada, Washington and Califor-
mia, according to the report.
Snow, which has fallen in many
western states since November l,
the first month to bring real win
ter to the west, is expected to fur-
ther improve range and farm pas
ture conditions, the report states.
The condition of range cattle de-
clined somewhat during October
the average on November l being
80 per cent of normal, compared
with SO per cent one month pre-
vious. Heavy marketing Of cattle
has been general in the last few
months, throughout the western
states, due partly, the report says,
to scarcity of feed and partly to
the stock men being forced to sell
to meet ther obligations,
Sheep are Quite Promising.
"Sheep are quite promising for
the future,r the report continues.
"aad there is still a widespread
demand for feeder lambs although
most of the feeder producing states
have already sold their surplus.
The condition Of sheep on Novem-
oer ] was SO per cent or normal
or only slightly different from the
condition as reported one month
earlier"
Prices on the range for fat grass
steers, as quoted by stockmen on
November !, were from $500 to
$3.50 per 100 pounds in North Da-
kota, Oklahoma and Texas, and
$500 to $640 in Nebraska, Wyo-
nng and California. according to
the report. Stocller and feeder
cattle ranged from $3.1O to $3.50
in North Dakota and Oklahoma
and generally from about $4.10 to
$500 in the other range states.
Lambs were quoted mostly from
10 to II 12 cents per pound, with
quite a number of quotations up
to IL and 13 cents while breeding
ewes ranged generally from $500
10 $1,000 per head.

PACKING MERGER R
CONSIDERED BY
j. s. OFFICIALS
Government Officials Re-
serve Decision in Regard
to Consolidation of Ar
mOur and Morris Plants.

Washington, Nov. 1G.--Govern-
ment officials reserved decision
today with regard to the proposed
consolidation of Armour and com
pany and Morris and company, two
of the big Five" Chicago meat
packing concerns, which was
placed before them yesterday by
j. Ogden Armour. It was indi-
Gated there would be no final opin-
ion for some days.
Meantime, the various details of
the consolidation plans its prob
able effect on the industry as a
whole and the producing and con-
suming public were receiving care
full study, at the department of
agriculture. Chester Morrill, as
sistant to Secretary Wallace, who
is in charge of the administration
of the new packers and stock yards
control act, held all day confer
ences with department experts on
marketing and other related lines.
Armour Sees Harding.
Mr.. Armour had expected an
early decision by the government.
He had half an hours conference
with President Harding today but
declined to talk about 1t, nor was
any statement regarding it forth
coming from the White House. So
far as was learned, Secretary Wal
lace had not taken up the Armour
plan with Mr. Harding.
Attorney General Daugherty was
confined to his apartment with
slight indisposition, but at the de-
partment of justice it was indi-
Gated that the question was not re-
eeiving immediate consideration,
since no plan in detail had been
submitted.
Benjamin C. Marsh Of the Farm
ers' National council, announced
that he was writing Secretary Wal
lace and Attorney General Dau9h-
erty asking full information con-
cerning the Armour plan, and
suggested that there be more of
packer control through legisla-
ton and less of packer control of
the government"
While Mr.. Armour still declined
to discuss the projected acquisi-
ton of Morris and company by the
concern Of which he is the head
information from other sources
was that suciI consolidation
would place Armour and company
in the front rank Of the big pack
ing concerns This company, with
its capital of S150.000,000 and cap
ital assets Of S177,000000 has va
rious packing plants in this conn
try as we'll as in South America
and Australia. Morris and COM
pany has half dozen packing es-
Establishments in The United States
and distributing stations in the
more important cities in Europe
and fin Cuba. It's capital is s40,-.
100000.
Economic Operation.
One Immediate result of a mer-
ger would be a general consllda-
tion of the facilities of the two
companies, and more particularly
of distributing agencies and rolling
stock. This, it was stated. would
be in the Interest Of economic op-
Grafton. This phase of the con-
plan was understood. to
have been dwelt upon in the for
