HANNA CHARGES EFFORT TO SELL
 sNATERED MILK
Many Skirmished Feature Hearing Before City
 Commissioners

A charge by l.. R. Hanna. attorney for 1O6 dairymen, that the Raw Milk Dealers association wants the milk code amended so some of its members "can resume the sale of watered mill" bitter tirade against Dr. J. D. Dowl- ing, health officer, and members or ms staff by Attorney Rodderick Beddow, a strong plea for the proposed amend ments by Judge Hugh A. Locke, ana defeat of an effort by Police Commis- sioner Cloe to adopt them without granting the board of health hearing, were the high points of spirited bat tie waged before the city commission Monday over the so-called "stabiliza- ton" ordinance sponsored by approxi- mately 28 raw milk producers.
 Decision was reserved until Thurs day mornoing, when the board of health will appear to voice it's objections to the proposed measure. Meanwhile, petitions signed by $500 supporters of the raw milk operators and other ex- hibits placed in evidence by Attorneys Locke and Beddow will be studied by commission members.
 The hearing took place. in a charged atmosphere, with epithets passing free ly, a packed council chamber of raw milk dealers and their friends wildly applauding every point made by their lawyers, and with occasional tilts be- tween members of the commission. Once, the direct lie" was hurled by Beddow at l.. c. Bulmer, chief of the health departments dairy division, who was not in the room.
 Commission Split
 The hearing ended with the cOmmis- sion members badly split. Commis- sioner Cloe at the outset took up the cudgel for the raw operators, or that portion of them who favored the sta bilization" ordinance. Commissioner of Streets W. E. Dickson was inclined to favor the ordinance and chided health officials for not being present, but opposed the move to take snap judg- ment. Questions asked by Mrs. Mary Echols, commissioner of health, clear ly indicated that she would follow the recommendations of the health off cials and oppose the amendments.

Loyalty to the principles of the Democratic party IS sufficient reason why members of the party should give to the campaign fund. The party believes in special favors to none; but in that sort or far and square management of public affairs which benefits everybody, rich and poor alike.
 There is no doubt that the rank and file of voters disapprOve Of the policy of a party which accepts big donations from interests or indl- viduals who look for their contrlbu- tions to return many fold in special legislative and executive favors. But there is only one other way ul which a campaign fund may be raised, and that is by general con tributions from the party's member ship.
 The democrats have a good oppcr- tunity to win the election this year. Every day MT. Davis is gaining a better hold upon the respectful nt- tention of the American people. He is showing himself each day a man who can measure up to the best standards of the party he leads. Fl" is a man whom the democrats will always be proud to refer to as one ,f it's most distinguished men. The country would be well served if the people should elect him.
 It is not desired that the men if average means shall give large sums. On the contrary, every con- tribution within a mans mems IS welcome, whether it be a dollar, or a hundred dollars or a thousand. The cause is worthy and .the donors will be doing themselves and their party and their country good serv- ice by supplying the sinews of war to this most important purpose.
