CAPITOL NEWS NOTES

Washington, D. c., May 15.-There
is distinct feeling of unrest among
Republican leaders in Washington.
With them there is a growing fear not
only that the political tidal wave
which hurled the party into power
two years has receded but that the
Democrats will be found to be riding
one of similar size next November.
With vie wof overcoming this, the
Republican National Committee has
decided to begin active campaigning
early. Headquarters are to be main
tanned here and in Chicago and while
the ostensible purpose of the opera
tons is to get out a big Republican
vote in the various state primaries it
is not improbable that weather eye
will be NAMED on the Democratic pri-
maries as well.
Missouri has had prominent place
in the political spotlight during the
last week. The Goldstein fiasco, by
means of which Senator Spencer
sought to pay his political debt to the
"St. Louis Ring, gained first-page
positions in all the big newspapers Of
the country, attracting almost as
much unenviable comment as the New.
berry case, neither of which helped
Senator Spencer or the Republican
party in popular estimation.
The Republicans, however, did mol
hold the center of the state, so far al
Missouri was concerned, during the
last week since former President Viii
son enlivened things a bit by another
broadside at Senator Reed. This wal

Missouri. Although deprecating the
schism in the party in Missouri some
Democrats here feel it may have a
healthy result, provided the defeated
candidate for the nomination keeps
the faith and does not undertake to
carry the fight beyond the primary
election. News dispatches from Mis-
souri, have carried announcement oil
Senator Reed that he will support the
nominee and it is assumed that Breck-
inridge Long and his friends will
agree to do likewise.
Whatever the result may be there is
every indication that interest in the
Democratic primary in Missouri will
far transcend that to be generated by
the Republican primary in that state
This in itself is healthy indication
with the probabilities that majority
of the seats the House, now filled by
Republican incumbents, will be turned
over to their Democratic successors or

Efforts to "smoke out" Dwight F.
Davis, director of the War finance
Corporation, and induce him to run
for the Republican senatorial nomina-
ton have been without avail. The Re.

candidate from the western edge OF
the state and Mr.. Davis home is in
st. Louis. Moreover he may be looked
to in 1924 for the qualification of his
senatorial aspirations.

VOLUME TWENTY-EIGHT

Washington, Jan. 23.-The develop
ment of a thorough code of law and
business procedure with the proper
machinery of finance, to assure the
farmer as generous a supply of work
ing capital on as reasonable terms as
is granted other industries, was advo-
Gated today by President Harding in
opening the national agricultural con-
ference.
"An industry more vital than any
other, in which nearly half of the ma

upon for good security and certain re-
turns" said the president in the
course of his remarks.

G GAINESVILLE TEAM
WON FROM OCALA GIRLS
IL. T. ID

The girls basketball team of the
Ocala high school lost their second
game of the season Saturday night in
Gainesville. The girls in the Univers-
ity City were too much for our girls
and defeated them by a score of 20 to
II. This score shows a decided i'm
provement for the Ocala team on its
last years work. The Gainesville team
gave our team a much more severe
drubbing in two games last year.
Ocala has strong hopes of evening the
score here when Gainesville comes for
a return game. The most decided i'm
provement in the work of the Ocala
girls over that of the Barlow game
was shown by the forwards. The work
of Woods and Wilkes was decidedly
better than anything they have shown
the fans before. The rest of the Ocala
girls played at their usual stride and
are not in the least discouraged over
this lost game. They have the come
back and fight spirit and are looking
forward with much pleasure to the
return game that Gainesvilel will
play here.

In SWEET POTATOES

Gainesville, Jan. 23.-The state
plant board in its effort to eradicate
the disease commonly called black-rot
among sweet potato crops has called
upon farmers to disinfect all sweet po-
tato seed before planting, regardless
of any certainty entertained that the
seed is free of disease.
at is earnestly requested that you
use great care in the selection and
planting of your sweet potatoes" the
board says. "Even if you are certain
that your seed are free of disease,
disinfect them just before planting
and be doubly certain. Immerse them
in solution of bichloride of mercury
(also known as corrosive sublimate).
This solution is prepared by dissolv-
ing an ounce of bichloride of mercury
in eight gallons of water in a wooden
barrel. Do not use metal containers.
Place the seed IN a bushel hamper
and immerse in the solution for ten
minutes. After dipping. spread the
seed to dry. Then bed Immediately.
"Great care should be taken when
using bichloride Of mercury as it is =
deadly poison. Never leave it where
children or animals can reach it. After
finishing with the solution, pour it
into a hole cover with earth"

DEMOCRATS SOLID
AGAINST DYER BILL

Washington, Jan. 22.-Democratic
members of the House at caucus last
night, agreed to wage a fight to a
finish on the Dyer anti-lynching bill.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted assailing this measure as
"violative of the constitution" and one
that would have tendency to increase
lynching rather than to reduce the
crime.
Those who addressed the caucus,
members reported, without exception
attacked the bill and urged the demo-
Gratis to stand solidly in opposition to
it.
The resolution adopted follows:
"Be it resolved by the democrats oi
the House of Representatives in eau.
Gus assembled that we are opposed to
lynching and declare our opposition tc
H. r. 13, the so-called anti-lynchine
bill, as being violative of the consti
tuition and destructive of our dua
form of government and would no
tend to reduce the crime of lynchine
but in our Judgment would have Z
contrary effect.
