Encourages Drys Overseas

1t is doubtful if any presidential election ever
watched with more interest by the nations of the
world than the one just closed.
The chief reason for this the prohibition issue
involved. The countries of Europe especially
looking eagerly to see if this country would go
record fayoring retention and enforcement of the
national prohibition policy which they knew was
written into the Constitution. It was conceded by
all that the election of Governor Smith would be in
terpreted by Europeans as a reputation by the
American people of the national prohibition policy
and would retard prohibition progress throughout
the world. By the same token Mr. HOoVer'S election
would mean endorsement of this policy and would
accelerate the prohibition and temperance move
ment overseas.
1t is not surprising, therefore, to read in the Lon
don Daily Express the news Shat prohibtionists of
England, encouraged by Mr. Hoovers Tremendous
the interest of local option and better enforcement
Of existing license laws.

Wet Warriors Who VIII Not Answer Rollcall

The overwhelming victory for prohibition recorded
in the recent election is not measured entirely by
the substantial gains made by drys in the National
House of Representatives and in the United States
Senate nor by the magnificent majority vote of the
electoral college to be given to Mr., Hoover and the
pitiaby small vote to be given Governor Smith This
victory grows in magnitude when roll is called of
the most conspicuous wet warriors who held forth in
the United States Senate but who in the next Con-
gress will be conspicuous by their absence. There is
Edwards of New Jersey, replaced by dry; Bruce of
Maryland, replaced by dry; Bayard of Delaware,
replaced by dry; Gerry of Rhode Island, replaced
by dry. 1t mere accident that these ag-
gressive wet champions went down to defeat. It
was the result of deliberate determined effort the
part of the voters who believe that the national pro-
hibition policy is wise policy and who like Presi
dent-eect Hoover, want to see it succeed.
Is the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment
satisfied with what Al Smith and Raskob have done to
further the wet interests2

A PROHIBITION VICTORY
Editorial Chicago Journal OF Commerce,
November 9, 1929

Now that the election is over it is at barely pos
sibe that Josephus Daniels, Carter Glass and other
southern Democratic leaders who loyalty strove for the
success of their partys presidential candidate will admit
that the election of Mr. Hoover and the defeat OF Gov
ernor Smith is a real victory for prohibition.
Governor Smiths election would have been the SIGNAL
the beginning of earnest effort by organized anti
prohibtonsts to increase anti-proholtlon sennmenV
throughout the country and build up an ntiprohbllon
majority CONGRESS- majority would have been sffi-
cent for repeal of the VolSead ac without which there
would be no prohibition.
Mr. Hoover's election means that the prohibition laws
will be maintained in their present essential form for at
least four years. and if he should be reelected for at
least epht years. The only modification which Mr. Hoo
would countenance would be modification in the di-
rection tiohter enforcement. Not only will Mr. Hoo
yer defend the prohibition by his official acts but
in addition he will probably attempt by eXraofc'al
means TO make prohibition success Tn all probability

New Resort At
Hipass To Offer
Many Advantages

Development of one of the most
picturesque spots in the mountains
west of FL Centre, is progressing
to an advanced point at Hipass,
Under the supervision of Charlie
Murphy, formerly of this city, who
still retains business interests here,
though making his home in the
mountains.
Murphy has several hundred acres
at IIipass, located on the highest
point of the San Diego and Arizona
railway, and with the international
line as its southern boundary.
Beautiful live oak trees, plenty of
water, picturesque scenery and ideal
climate, combine to make the place
an ideal one for the. location of
summer homes.
The place has been subdivided
and lots are now on sale. TO stimu-
late interest among valley people
Murphy has asked them to pick Il
name for the new resort, the person
giving the most desirable name to
receive Il lot without cost. All sug
gcstions must be received or i'll the
mails by midnight of May 8, at
the Pioneer Title Insurance and
Trust Company office here or at
Murphy S address in Ilipass. The
contest is open to anyone.
Visitors are invited to inspect the
resort, camping facilities being
excellent. The resort is 60 miles
from FL Centre, following the state
Highway to White Star and turning
off at that point on the Campo
read to Summit, IA miles west
thence south across the rim of the
mountains to Murphy s store, where
escort will be provided to the camp
site.
1t is possible that n port of en-
fry will be located at the spot in
the near future, there being consid-
cradle demand for port between
Jacumha and Campo, the distance
between these two points working
considerable hardship on ranchers
and cattlemen in the territory in,
rluded between them.

SHANGHAI, May 1.-The com
bincd armies of the north are crum-
bling before the concerted Nation
alist attack, it was reported from
Shantung province, where the Chi
nesc civil war has ccntcrcd in recent
weeks.
Generals Chang Chung Chang and
Sun Chuan-fang, to whom had been
entrusted the defense of the prov
inces were reported today to have
fled to Tientsin, while the National
ist forces occupied the area south of
the yellow river, surrounding Tsin-
anfu, as well as Tsinanfu itself.
The flight of Generals Chang and
Sun seemed to presage the flight OF
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, the Pckin
dictator, with the possible capture
of northern territory by the Nation

Shok and Feng luHsiang.

SINCLAIR TELLS
COMMITTEE OF
OIL DEALINGS

WASHINGTON, May l.-Harry
+. Sinclair told his long withheld
story to the Senate Teapot Dome
committee today.
He said he knew nothing about
the mysterious Continental Trading
company; that he did get $757, 900
out of that strange company s deal
and that after his acquittal here 10
days ago he turned this whole sum
back to his Sinclair Crude Oil Pur-
chasing Co., with three percent in
tcrest amounting to some 10000.
Sinclair said he put the $4,000
in Continental Liberty Bonds with
lot of other bonds he had and that
was why they were the bonds given
to former Secretary of Interior Fall
who leased him Teapot Dome and
to viii Hays, former chairman of
the Republican National committee
who used them to pay off part of
the 1920 Republican deficit.
He claimed entire innocence of
the organization of the Continental
company and described his part in
Thus Sinclair revealed he acted
Just as did the other three oil men
in the seven year old deal.
Robert W. Stewart, chairman of
the Standard Oil Company of Indi-
ana, testified last week he got
$4,000 of the profits and recently
turned them back to his company
and the other two, II. NJ. Blackmcr
and James O'Neil also returned
their one fourth shares.
Sinclair was sparing of words in
his testimony and once he was in
formed by Senator Walsh of Mon
tana that thereafter he could not
ask his attorney, Martin w. Little
ton, who sat beside him, what an.
swers he should make to questions.
