REAL SCOTCH

CONF!SCATE:D
Runner Puts Up Cash
Bail and Beats Ii Back
To Chicago.

Sheriff Holmes and Deputy Vesper-
man made a capture of a carload of
$3.50 worth of whiskey, Scotch and
Bourbon, the "genooine stuff" at
Platteville o'clock last Friday morn
ing.
The Sheriff received a tip from an
unknown source Thursday night to be
on the watch at Platteville. He To-
Gated the loaded" car on Oak street,
that city, about 10 O'Clock p. m. The
two men waited all night and in the
morning saw stranger climb and
start to drive off. He didn't drive far
The cargo consisted of pints and
quarts in prOfusion, nicely wrapped
and put up to sell with profit of $500
to the runner. Platteville and Lam
caster customers would take the whole
load, the man said, but he refused to
divulge the names of the parties deal
ing with him.
The stranger, locked in jail was mad
at first and raved. Later he quieted
down and seemed pretty blue, talking
about his wife and three kids. He
gave the name of F. E. Bradley.
tLike other fools l took a chance for
big money" Bradley said
The car, an Olds 4, was also con-
fiscated.
Bradley was taken before Justice
Burrows Monday. He waived exami-
nation and his case was continued to
circuit court with bond of $1,000. A
wire to Chicago brought the money,
all currency. Mr.. Bradley shook the
dust of Lancaster from his feet at
once. Whether or not he will come
back is a matter of speculation. The
car was held subject to the order of
the court

American eye there IL no sign Of ma
terially increased radical activity.
Perhaps the propaganda is being moro
effectively spread than before. Pos.
sibly it is reaching greater numbers
and making converts. But there are
no outward manifestations.
In some quarters last Tuesday there
were. it 10 true, tokens Of q radical
political tendency. Certain states voted
for candidates who were known for
their impatience with the established
modes Of government. and who want q
closer approach to the socialistic state.
But we have had that sort Of thing
before. We had it. for instance, in
1890 and 1892. when populism was the
wear Of the discontented.
One notable instance Of popular sup
port Of socialist occurred in New
York, where Charles steinmets. the
electrical wizard" and inventor. can.
didate for the ONCE Of state engineer
on the socialist ticket, received a very
heavy vote. far ahead of that cast for
his ticket. Steinmetz is an avowed
advocate Of the socialist doctrines. His
name has been linked with a number
of radical organizations.
Perhaps Zanovieff had the steinmetz
vote in mind when he made his report
at Moscow. Or possibly he was think.
ing Of Wisconsin. Maybe, Of course,
he has not yet heard the news Of the
American election, but it is altogether
probable that he has q very efficient
news service In this country and has
received reports from every center Of
radical propaganda.

Districts Legislative Turnover" /"

Every time an election occurs and
a new House and q third Of the Senate
are chosen the District passes through
a period Of speculation as to the per
sonnei Of the committees in the two
houses charged with specific care OF
District matters. Sometimes the
changes involved are few, and again
they are numerous. AS a result OF
this years campaigns there will be a
material change on the House side.
Chairman Focht, who was not a candi.
date for reelection, losing in the pri'
maries by very narrow margin. will,
of course, no longer preside at the
head of the District committee. Fortu.
nately he will be succeeded by an able
man, thoroughly conversant with the
Districts affairs and needs and in
sympathy with it's aspirations. The
Craftsmanship may go to Representa-
tive Reed Of West Virginia by senior
ity, or should he choose another as.
signment to Representative Zihlman
Of Maryland. With either Of these
men at the head Of the table in the
House District committee the District
would feel perfect confidence in secur-
ing a sympathetic hearing on all mat
ters pertaining to it. and vigorous &C.
ton for legislation.
The prospect is indicated that one
of these two representatives may re-
ceive assignment to the committee on
appropriations, where also there will
be changes. Such designation would
be particularly gratifying to Washing
ton, as both Representative Zihlman
and Reed are fully conversant with
the peculiar requirements Of the CAPT
tai and from their experience on the
District committee would be particu-
larly well qualified to aid in framing
the local appropriation bills.
On the Senate side there are fewer
changes. none in immediate prospect
affecting the craftsmanship. so that
Senator Ball is expected to remain at
the head, with approximately the same
capable membership that has given
The District an efficient legislative

end Of the Capitol, Taken altogether.
this years turnover" in District
legislative ranks leaves it in an excel
lent position for efficient service and
sympathetic consideration on the hill.

The West and 1924.

Former Secretary McAdoo promptly
iEterprsts in an interview the election
results to the country. and in his de.
!iverance shows that he is greatly
heartened as to democratic prospects
for 1924.
How, 1t may be asked, are his own
fortunes affected by them? Is there to-
day anybody but him between the
Mississippi river and the Pacific ocean
associable with the next democratic
nomination for President?
Senator Reeds triumph last Tues
day was notable. But woodrow Will
son asserts that it was not a demo-
cratic triumph, but 80 tinctured with
republicanism it ought to bar Mr..
Reed from further recognition in
democratic circles. Hence to talk Of
the Missouri senator for democratic
leader in 1924 10 to hout Mr.. Wilson
and the latter's following in Missouri
and elsewhere-a dangerous perform
ance.
The defeat Of Senator Hitchcock for
reelection takes him entirely out Of
the 1924 presidential equation. His
boom in 1920 was not loud. but had he
shown last week pronounced strength
at home, William ]. Bryan being
among his supporters, he would have
been a figure to be reckoned with In
the national field two years hence.
The election Of Charles w. Bryan to
the sovernorship Of Nebraska-grati-
tying ~, Of course. 1t Is both to him
and his brothsr-does not invest him
with national "pull' and consequence.
He will be in no mans way at the next
democratic national convention.
This. then. leaves Mr.. McAdoo the
sole striking democratic figure in all
that broad neck O woods. but with
California, the state of his recent
adoption. more deeply socketed than
ever in republicanism. with Hiram
johnson in charge. and looking him
self more or less longingly toward 1924
and all that that year signifies on both
sides Of the political fence.

Politics at Home
New York and 1874. I

The safest Of assertions In this:
Charles =. Murphy win not be deposed
from the leadership Of Tammany Hall
this year. Another year, maybe.
Mr.. Murphy did not enthuss over
the first mention. Of "Al'' Smiths
name in connection with the governor.
ship Of New York again. 1t was a
Wilsonian-Franklin D. Roosevelt
who In letter to Mr.. Smith pointed
out to him both his opportunity and
his duty.
Az late O. the Syracuse convention
Mr.. Murphy appeared to be q little
chilly toward AL" He seemed to be
balancing the Smith boom against the
Hearst boom. The Smith men com.
planned.
But all that Is old stuff. In the
showdown at Syracuse Mr.. Murphy
supported AL" and on election day
was . great force in putting him over.
Turn now to 1924. Never mind
about the Smith boom for President.
That will have its day, and probably 1t
will be q lively day. But there are
many far likelier things than that
"Al" Smith will head the next demo.
cratic national ticket.
But there is no likelier thing than
that Gov. Smith will head the New
York delegation to the next democratic
national convention. And who. fol-
lowing him down the main aisle of the
convention hall, will with him com.
pose New York's big four? Consider
these nominations: Charles F. Murphy,
john r. Hylan and William Randolph
Hearst.
And will Mr.. Bryan be there to see?
He ought to be. Florida was cold to-
ward his senatorial boom, but she
could well afford to send him as one Of
her big four to help nominate in 1924
q democratic candidate for President.
In that case will visions Of 1912 at
Baltimore arise? Almost certainly.
But they need not embarrass Mr..
Bryan. He could be philosophical. and
exclaim with his old.time fervor:
Great is Tammany! And Murphy is
its prophet!"'

Poisoned Candy.

Scotland Yard IL the popular name

institution in London, which officially

it would be the head Of the British de-

is always IN object Of malevolence.
It appears that the candy was opened
on Thursday by his secretary. She
handed it to her chief. who took it to
his room and ate some Of it, becoming
Ill soon afterward. Where was that
master mind Of crime detection when
this happened? But the case 10 not
