EDGE ATTACKS MOVE
OF STATE DEMOCRATS

The following statement was is
sued today by United States Senator
Walter E. Edge.
"Of course I can't criticise the
court, but to attempt to deceive the
voters by printing on the ballot a
mans name not candidate is as
silly as it is outrageous.
"As far as helping my opponent,
as was the obvious reason infiuenc-
ing the one county clerk out of
twenty-one, I am convinced it will
have the opposite erect.
''The average voter resents such
tactics. Any one who, under the
circumstances would so waste a vote
and cast 1t for man not a candi-
date, wouldn't vote for me in any
event. On the other hand such
practices viii attract votes to me
simply because of the lack of fair
ness through the whole proceeding.
Il am informed a representative
of DR.. Shields applied to the office
of the secretary of state for informal
tion as to when withdrawal could
be made. What other recourse has
citizen?
He was informed the Office would
remain open until a certain hour TO
receive Such withdrawal. Inc OIL
cial notice was filed within that time
and demonstrating it was considered
entirely within the law, the secretary
of state later notified each county
clerk of such Withdrawal and appar-
emily left to thier option the matter
of amending the ballots. Twenty
clerks not wishing to deceive the
voters did the natural. obvious thing,
and eliminated the name. The Hud-
son county Democratic clerk, true 10
form, preferred the other policy.
common sense back
ed by official information was otlnsr-
wise.
Il understand efforts are now be-
ing made by our broad Democratic
foemen to try to compel the other
county clerks to likewise confuse and
deceive the voters In other words,
to make man a candidate against
his viii. I'm not lawyer, but a
glance at the election law demon
strates the clerks were compelled to
turn over the ballots to the printer
last week and unless they are sepa-
rately served with a court order TO
take them back the matter is cer-
tainly out of their hands.
THE voters will later express their
view or such sharp efforts to confuse
an election"

AS darkness settled on the Shen-
andoah above the Arizona plains, the
gas in the great bags was contracted
by chilling breezes and becoming
heavier with every drop in the tenn
perature, she was forced to Jettison
1,400 pounds of gasoline and release
one of the tanks after having dis.
charged all water ballast to acquire
an even keel. With all motors run
ming full speed, she had settled to
an angle of fourteen degrees.
At 1873 A. M, mountain time, the
Shenandoah had recovered her bear
ings and was above Douglas. 216

BEFOREPRES|DENT
Letter Declares DENLY and
Fall Started Negotiations
for Lease of Reserves.

Former Secretary Fall and Secre-
tary DENLY were declared in a letter
laid before President Coolidge today
by John E. Ballaine, an Alaskan rail-
road constructor, to have entered into
negotiations in July. 1921. for trans
fer and lease of the rich Matanuska
coal reserves of Alaska along the
same lines as were later followed in
the Teapot Dome oil lease.
The Alaskan coal lease was not exc.
cuted. but the letter said the Navy De-
partment, largely through the efforts of
Rear Admiral j. X. Robson, had ASST
diously refused ever since to permit use
Of Alaskan coal by the Navy.
Charges Presented to Senators.
Mr.. Ballaine, who constructed the
Alaskan Central railroad. the forerun-
ner of the present government line, pre-
supplement to charges that powerful
interests are at work to hinder the de-
velopment Of Alaska. He also has pre-
sented charges to several senators, in
cluding Chairman Lenroot OF the Senate
oil investigating committee.
THE official files show that Secretary
Fall Of the Interior and Secretary Dem
by of the Navy began negotiations as
early aS July, 1921, for the transfer OF
the naval coal reserves in the Matanuska
field from the Navy to the Interior De-
partment and for the leasing of that
reserve for a period Of fifty years." said
terms agreed upon between the two
alongSecretaries in this coal reserve
ran along lines exactly parallel with
the negotiations and the terms of the
lease Of the Teapot Dome oil reserves.

mo lease Of the Matanuska coal
reserves was executed. But the net
result was that naval mining opera
tions in the Matanuska were trans
ferred by Secretary DENLY to the In
terror Department and abruptly
closed In May, 1922. at time when
the Navy, as official reports show,
had a mine developed and equipped
ready to produce ESQ tons day. with
5000 tons OF coal blocked out In
the same quality in sight by diamond
drilling in the Coal Creek district.
"DuMng the negotiations over the
Matanuska coal reserves and for two
years continuously up to the present
time, misleading announcements con-
trary to the established official facts
about the quality Of Matanuska coal
have been given wide publicity by
the bureau of engineers Of the Navy,
of which Admiral Robson Is head,
and by the bureau Of mines of the
