Facts About the County Printing Contract

and publishing contract to the
Carbon County News in defiance
of the fact that the Picket-Joufnal
bid, the only competing offer, was
immeasurably lower on nearly all
classifications.
Further statement was made that
the Picket-Journal would have saved
the county $4,000 on the contract
which has just been completed by the
Carbon County News for the years
1927 and 1928. Misstatement of facts
is long suit of Draper, but in order
to show some figures, we will quote
a few. They are the totals for e4e1
month for the last six years Draper
did the county out of their money.

The months Of November and De

table, but they do rot promise to eX-

the dire predictions made by the man
who has claimed Character assassina-
ton and political prejudice" as the
reason for losing his meal ticket.
AS to the statement printed in last
weeks Picket-Jouina with regard to
two bids apparently being lower
than the one which was given prefer
ence, another of Diapers long shot
chances at the truth is again evident.
Draper did not look at the News bid
nor has he as yet. He did not know
what this bid was nor the figures that

In the above table it will be noticed
that for the year of 1924 Diapers
bills amounted to $8,00765. This was
presidential year and corresponds to
the present year. 1t, however, totals
better than 100000 more than those
presented by the Carbon County
News The figures will be found be
low, showing what the News received
for the past two years on the county
printing contract.

 They are John Fitzpatrick and Ralph Adams, sprinters, and Jack and Pete Walters, middle distance runners.
 Adams and Fitzpatrick, who was considered Canada's prem e T sprinter until the appearance of the sensational Percy Williams, have attended the University of Toronto.
 Jack Walters held the Canadian mile championship for several years, losing it in 1927 to Dave Griffin. At the final Canadian Olympic trial Jack defeated Grif- fin. who ran third to the Walters brothers.

 Richmond is headquarters for the self-styled "anti-Smith Demo- erats,". opposed to Smiths stand on prohibition.
 The Republican party is depend ing on the anti-Smith Democrats" " to aid in overcoming the normal Democratic majority in Virginia of from 50,0OO to 60,000 votes. Re- publican leaders, however, say they are working entirely indepen- dent of the anti-Smith group.
 Swanson No Opposition
 Sen. Claude Swanson is the Democratic nominee to succeed himself in Virginia and has no Re- publican opposition. Senator Swan- son, Sen. Carter Glass, Gov. Harry F. Byrd and the entire Virginia delegation in Congress have an- nounced support of Gov. Smith. These leaders are making no boast of overwhelming majorities but express confidence that Virginia will be in the Democratic column in November.
 Baltimore's vote is the goal of both parties in Maryland. A State that has had only two Republican administrations since the civil war but has frequently voted Republi- can in National elections. About half the Maryland vote is in Balti- more and the other half in the 23 counties.
 The Democrats count on wet additions from the Republican party to offset any defections from Democratic ranks over Smiths prohibition views.

HOPPE WILL RETURN
 TO BALk LINE

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Willie Hop pc is going back to 1S.2 balk line the game that made him famous as the "old master" of billiards.
 Because he believed that any of the leading balk-line players can defeat or hold their own with the acknowledged kings of the three cushion game, Hoppe deserted the balk-line ranks year ago and took up the angle game.
 His debut into three play was successful. He won the American Billiard League tourna- ment and placed second to Johnny Layton in the national tournament.
 But now he is ready to return to the game he knows best, al though he will continue in the three cushion play until the world s tournament which probably will be held in December.
 Give me 30 days of intensive practice" said Hoppe before leav- ing on three months exhibition tour with the champion, Layton, "and I will be ready for the balk- line experts"
 The "Old Master" plans a few weeks of concentrated training after the tour, to prepare him. self for the angle tournament. and then he will take up the old cue that has conquered all.

Bruce Is oppoeed

William Cabell Bruce is opposed for reelection to the United States Senate by former Gov. Phillips Lee Goldsborough. The Democratic chieftains generally predict that Senator Bruce, a Democrat, will run along with Gov. Smith in the state, htough there are some who do not hold to this view.
 The coal rate issue has been brought to the fore in West Vir- ginia in the contest for the United States Senate between M. M. Nee ''y, Democratic incumbent, and for mer Gov Henry D. Hatfield. It also appears indirectly in the Presidential race with the claim by the Democrats that an effort was made during the Coolidge ad- ministration to "stifle" the West Virginia coal industry through fix ing freight rates favorable to in- terests in Pennsylvania.
 No Fight Made
 Normally Republican. even de- feating a native son in John w. Davis in 1924, West Virginia has attracted but little attention from National leaders of either party in the contest for the states eight electoral votes, but state leaders of both parties are making az gressivc campaigns for the rfa- tional as well as state tickets. West Vifg mia in November will name six Congressmen, seven State officers including Governor, members of both houses of the State Legislature and two Judges of the state Supreme Court. Coun- ties and municipalities also will elect officers, throwing multi plicity of local issues into the campaign.
 w. c. Conley, Republican, and J. Alfred Taylor, Democrat, are con- testing the Governorship of West Virginia. The Republican party has endorsed a $35.000,000 road bond issue for completion of the State highway system, while the Democratic State Convention struck out a plank specifically en-
