MOORES SAYS
OLD LETTER is
FURORECAUSE
COngressman's Friends Quote
What He Wrote on Pend
ing Bill.

Friends Of Merrill Moores, Congressman
from Marion County and candidate for
the Republican nomination for Congress,
today made public a letter nearly a year
old. written to an officer of the Marion
County w. c. T. u, expressing his views
on booze legislation pending in Con
gress. According to Mr. Moores' friends.
this is the letter which caused g con
troversy in the w. c. T. Z. and which
led to Mr.. Moores being left off q slate
given out by member of the organi-
zation.
The letter Of Mr. Moores, which bears
the date of June 81, 1921, follows,
THE letter which the officers of your
W. c. 7. L. sent zne with regard to
H R. 5O35 is an amusing illustration
Of the curious and sometimes comical
working of propaganda among people
who are not familiar with and who have
not studied carefully measures pending
in Congress.
For instance, have had hundreds of
letters from worthy people urging my
support OF the resolution pending in
the Senate for the relief Of the Armenians.
Members Of the House will have no
opportunity to vote for or against the
measure, which is the sole concern of
the Senate
''In the case Of the bill which Won
mention, a study Of it has developed
the fact that, if passed, 1t will destroy
practically the whole Of the drug manu-
featuring business in the country and
will prove ruinous to many industries
which use alcohol for manufacturing
purposes. The thing having been ex-
planned and now being understood.
doubt II a single member Of Congress
votes for the bill substitute has
been prepared and will be passed with
substantially no opposition. I doubt if
even Mr.. VoIstead had any notion Of
preventing the manufacture of lsterine
and of many other drugs in common use
which cannot be made without the use
c. alcohol nor had he any intention of
destroying. the varnish and similar in
dustries.
IF 1t will furnish you any satisfac-
ton TO get a direct answer, I will tell
you that l shall not vote for 81. Il.
1898 nor do I think that any other
member Of Congress will do So"
A unanimous straw" vote in favor of
Harry S New for Republican candidate
to the United States Senate was taken at
meeting Friday afternoon at the meet
ing Of the Tuxedo Park ". c. 7. Z. at
avenue, according to Mrs. Miller.
We want it expressedly understood
that we do not adopt the ticket as Mrs.
Schmoe had it made out" Miss Alkaline
Denny said, referring to the list which
was given out by Mrs. E. II. Schmoe at
a meeting of the Christian citizenship com
mittee Of the ". c. T. L. at the Cham
Der OF Commerce.
This list. which was headed with the
name Of Albert j. Beveridge as the choice
Of the Citizenship Committee, has been
the cause Of considerable disSension
among ". c. T. [. members. Mrs, Reedy
president of the Central W. c. 7. T., in
sisted upon Senator News name being in
Guided IN the list, and Mrs Laura B.
Leonard. president Of the Zeralda Wal
lace w. c. 7. L., declared that the state
ment that Albert J. Beveridge is the
choice of the w. c. t. U. must not be
allowed to stand"

The old established theory and prac-
tice of week-en reduction of commit
ments was evidently forgotten today, for
We had material increase in new buy
ing coming fromo the public as well as
from the local professional element.
Sentiment is Enthusiastically favorable
to the market, and the market having
given an excellent account of itself fol
lowing the rather heavy profit taking
that support should again materialize.
From a political standpoint, the out.
look is a little better at the week end
than 1t was at the beginning.
Nothing very definite has as yet beer
accomplished at Genoa, but the mere
fact that there has been no break and
that negotiations are still pending, in
creases hope that something, good may
be accomplished. IndustrialIy the out
look continues to Improve
This is evidenced by continued expan-
sion in the steel industry, with higher
prices for the products, higher prices
for refined oil products aand pros
pect Of higher prices for the crude.
There is considerable progress in build
ing everywhere.
The railroad outlook IS better, though
the expected reduction in the freight
rates may proove TO be a temporarily
bearfsh factor. Financial conditions arc
excellent. reserves are still large and the
Investment demand for bonds, and, In
fact for all new issues, IS big enough
TO absorb all offerings.
Conditions as We view them are favor
able for continuation of the rise In the
security market. subject only to frequent
interruption because Of technical condi
lions
tilted.

RYAN CAN HOLD/
JOB ON BOARD BOARD
OF ELECTION
State and County Officials
Issue Statement as
Answer.

The candidacy of Russell J Ryan for
the Democratic nomination of county
chairman in no way legally conflicts with
his duties as members Of the county
election board, according to joint
statement issued by the State and county
boards Of election commissioners.
This Is taken as an answer TO charges
b. James J. Moriarity that Ryan had
no right to be candidate for the county
craftsmanship while holding a position
on the county election board. and that
legal proceedings would be taken against
him II he persisted in this course.
The statement is as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned, certify to the
Interpretation of the Indiana primary
election law as herein set out.
The county board of election com
missioners has nothing whatever to do
with canvasslng the vote for precinct
committeeman
The precinct election board canvasses
the vote for precinct committeeman.
They sign and deliver the certificate OF
election to the candidate for the office Of
precinct committeeman in their precinct
who has received the highest number OF
votes Their decision is final.
The county canvassing board does
not canvass the vote for precinct com
mitteeman
1t bears the signatures OF ". W
Spencer Democrat, and Maurice E. Ten
nant, members of the state board. and
Russell Wilson and George V. Coffin.
Reuublicans, members of the county
board.
Present indications are that Ryan
holds a substantial lead over Moriarity
and Joseph C Manning IN the race for
the Democratic county chairmanshtp
This is borne out by stories to the
effect that during the past week over
lures have been made by the Manning
forces to Morarity to get him to with
draw, or at least to agree to an alliance
between his forces and those of Man
ming From the first Moriarity has in
sisted steadfastly he is in the race to
win and will not get out for anyone
There seems to be little doubt, but that
he Will stick to his guns as long as ne
has any supporters.
The influence Of Thomas A. Riley, mem
Der of the Industrial board of Indiana
and. during the Jewett administration.
Democratic member Of the board of pub
lie works, is making itself strongly felt
in the Manning campaign. according To
reports. 1t is said the News-Jewett-
Lemcke organization has become inter
ested in the Democratic craftsmanship
struggle and Is lending considerable sup
port to the Manning movement.
At the present time the general opin-
ion throughout Democratic ranks seems
to be Ryan will win. unless some new
deal can he arranged quickly between the
Moriarity and Manning factions. and AT
present neither candidate is showing any
inclination to get out Of the race.

in the trading, with buying encouraged
by the showing of the March earnings
