Sees Moral Victory

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Thomas J..
Spellacy. head of the Eastern Demo-
cratic campaign headquarters, to-
day made the following comment on
the Maine election results:
AS l predicted a few days ago
the Democrats have scored a moral
victory in Maine. The normal pres
idential plurality has been greatly
reduced.
I'm 1920, the last presidential
year, the Republican gubernatorial
nominee won by a plurality of Co.
110. The vote polled then was
about 10000. Now with the record
vote of 225,000 in this rock-ribbed
Republican state, We see this plural
ity cut by about 10000. The same
falling off in the Republican vote
can be looked for throughout the
country in November.
Last Friday I analyzed the sit
uation in New England and said a
Democratic victory was in the air.
The result in Maine bears out my
forecast. l stated, any reduction In
the normal Republican plurality in
Maine indicates a Democratic trend
in the nation The trend / saw
then Is on and growing stronger
daily"

BLOW HERE
BEFORE PLANES ARRIVE.
FLYING TO WASHINGTON
Fog Forces Flyers Down at
Aberdeen, Md.-Resume
Flight Soon After

Perth Amboy paid tribute to the
world aviators this morning al
though few of the thousands who
scanned the cloudy sky were able to
catch a. glimpse of the planes as
they winged their way toward WASH
ington from Mitchell Field.
1t was announced yesterday that
the flyers would take off from
Mitchell Field at 9 o'clock this
morning Shortly after that hour
interested persons began to take
their position atop roofs and in
places of vantage in order that they
might better watch the sky for the/
American airmen who have made
history.
Mayor Wilson got In touch with
as many of the public schools and
parochial schools as possible early
this morning and requested the prin-
cipals to have a fire drill at the
time the flyers hove in sight. The
time was to be indicated by the
sounding of the fire alarm.
City Officials Watch
The mayor with others. took theiE
places on the roof of city hall and
watched patiently for some time tol
| the arrival of the fivers. EinallX.l

DeHaviland was seen approacffids
this city from the east. FOLLOWED by
other planes which looked like
specks The mayor at once sounded
the fire alarm as a signal that the
flyers were approaching.
The leading plane changed its
course, however, probably because
of the treacherous 35 mile an hour
H. 49,
port. The other planes followed the
leader and instead of passing over
the city flew low over Staten Island
and thence across the lower bay to
Keyport. AS a result of this unex-
pected change in direction many OF
those who swarmed to the windows
and out in the streets thought 1t was
a false alarm" and that the flyers
had not been sighted.
Whistles Blown Here
Factory whistles and sirens were
blown loud and long and although
thousands scanned the heavens only
those who were lucky enough to
have an unobstructed view of the
lower end of Staten Island and the
bay were able to discern the craft
which seemed to be moving slowly.
Many were disappointed at being un-
able to catch sight of the epoch-mak-
ng planes as it was generally thought
they would fly directly over this
city, this being the route covered
by the New York Washington mail
carriers and others flying between
the two places.
After watching the sky expectant-
ly for fifteen minutes or more the
disappointed school pupils returned

tented with reading about the prog

Says Kian Not Issue

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 9:-"My
opponent elected to make his entire
campaign upon a discussion of the
klan," Ralph o. Brewster said early
today. This was not recognized as
an issue by either party platform in
state or nation, or by any Republi-
can candidate. The Republican cam
paign based its appeal solely upon
the record of the Republican party
in state and nation and the pledges
of Its platform. The result is a graf
flying endorsement of Republican
principles and policies and a very
convincing proof that Maine citizens
are not to be Influenced by an appeal
to passion or prejudice"

to paltry five and ten thousand. The seiner can fish nowhere except in bays near the salmon streams. And now under the new regulations, the resident fisherman cannot fish there. He gives up his right to catch part of ten thousand salmon, but the big trap is still allowed the un- diminished right to take all the fish that swim by the hundreds of thous- aads and even millions.
 Conservation will never be accomp- lished until the traps are all abol- ished.
 During the war we "hoOveriZed" on foodstuffs. Now that we have forgotten the war we are compelled to accept "hooverized" conservation which is no conservation.
 
 The Fish Barons say they earnest ly desire conservation but we note that they are all planning on put ting up bigger packs than last year.
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-07-15
CONSERVATION RTRAPS

passed, 1 am willing to say to the Bureau of Fisheries,- us start out with clean slate, or say that it really means to administer the law without favoritism.
 Still we will not change our posi- tion for we claim that the burdens of conservation should also be borne without favoritism.
 At the fish hearing in Seattle in 1921, 1 protested against extending the closed area from the 200 yard mark to the 500 yard mark. This change was favored by all the pack CTS and by Charlie Garfield then secretary of the Territorial Fish Commission. Garfield asked me this question: "Why, MT. Paul, are you not in favor of doing all that can be done under the law to conserve the fish which we all admit are be- ing rapidly depleted?"
 My answer astonished the assem- bly. l said No, I am not. 1 am not in favor of placing the entire burden of conserving salmon on the little fellow. By extending the clos ed area you place the entire burden of conservation on the seiner and none at all on the trap owner. Why should I, a small fisherman, be com pelled to stop fishing at the mouth of the creek while the big trap still operates little way down the coast. My catch amounts to about 2,O0O salmon, and with all other fishermen at this place, the total amounts to less than 10000; while the trap two miles down the coast catches over 300,OO0. Why don't you do some thing to make that trap conserve salmon? You seem to believe that after the fish get past the long line of traps fishing in districts where no seiner can work that no fisher man should be allowed to catch the fish,"
 In the new regulations published by MT. Hoover supposedly on the advice of the Bureau of Fisheries, certain bays are closed to fishing ''for purposes of conservation" These bays include Thorne Bay, Tolsti Bay, Toms Place, Tenekee Inlet and other places.
 The Bureau has published the catch of the fish at these places. In all about 100000 salmon will be allowed to escape by this order. But the thing that throws light upon the favoritism that still guides the Bur- eau in all it's doings is this: seiners and gill-netters have been getting about 1S0,OOO fish in these places while the trap has been getting only S0,OOO. Who bears the burden? and why?
 The burden of conservation is still placed on the resident fishermen by

1907 Drilling Around 1000 Feet.

Miranda City, Tex. April 12.-The
Claude Withersoon wildcat on Survey
1907, northeast OF Clifton, 1 IL miles
is now getting to an interesting depth
and the company looks for oil or gas
around 2000 feet. Drilling Is pro.
ceeding slowly with ratholeing and
coreing. The formations in this well
are much thicker than were found in
the well drilled a mile south on Sur
vey zoos. and the oil indications are
showing up better.
No stated depth has been set for
drilling to cease. according to infor-
nation from e. c. Bishop in charge
of field operations.
Ii is almost a unanimous opinion
that the trend of the Schott Field is
to the northeast for connection with
the Leaseholders' and CRFolina-Texas
fields. and many we'll likely will be
drilled in this vicinity during the COM
ing months.
