By the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Ill. September IL
james Hamilton Lewis, Democrat
launched his campaign for a return to
the United States Senate from Illinois
today, emphasizing almost equally as
prohibition.
In a speech today the Democratic
nominee urged return Of liquor regula-
ton to the States. immediate Govern
ment loans to banks in needy farm
communities and work for the unem-
ployed on Government construction
projects. He also advocated return OF
the national income tax revenues to
the States from which they were COL
lected.
Lewis is opposed by four other candi-
dates-Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick
who defeated Senator Charles S. De-
neen, incumbent, for the Republican
nomination; Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill
an independent dry; Louis Warner OF
Chenoa, also an independent dry, and
G. Emmett Smith of Chicago, independ-
ent, whose platform has not been an
nounced.
Mrs. McCOr1nick'S Stand.
Mrs. Mccormick has announced she
would abide by the verdict of the cleo
torate in the wet-dry referendum In
November. Mrs. O'Neill has the sup
port OF the Anti-Saloon League. Lewis
was sent to the Senate as Illinois rep
resentative in 1918. He was defeated
for reelection by the husband of his
present Republican opponent, the late
Seator Medill Mccormick.
Making only brief reference to his
opponents, the Democratic nominee
lauded Mrs. O'Neill for "commendable
courage and noble frankness" in her
dry stand and accused Mrs. Mccormick
of offering nothing to take the place OF
national temperance laws in the event
the verdict Of the referendum is for
repeal.
1--WE of the Illionis citizenship democ-
racy demand State control of prohibi-
ton and temperance" he said. I'VE
demand the national prohibition acts
of law or Constitution, which for 10
years have stood in obstruction of these
rights of citizenship and defeat of all
temperance, be modified or repealed to
any extent necessary to return the priv
ilege to the States to fulfill the spirit OF
the eighteenth amendment"
Scores Eastern Farm Enemies"
Blaming the plight Of the farmer on
what he termed the "reactionary and
Tory policies of the Eastern enemies of
the West" he said: There Is no de-
fined issue between the Democratic and
Republican parties in Illinois. The real
duty of the day is for the earnest men
and women of all parties to find the
remedy for all and start the relief"
1.-THE unemployed" he said, Ought
by order of the President and cabinet
heads be put at once to work in the
constructing of the many buildings now
provided by law for soldiers-hospitals
and comfort refuges-also for post offices
and court and custom houses, bridges
and Government wharves and water
structions, let US start now and give
work to the appealing army asking for
rescue from hunger, as we save families
from distress"

HARRIS NAMED
FOR THIRD TERM
Georgia GubernatoriaI Nomi-
nation Between Russell and
CarsWell in Doubt.
~ the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, September. 1l-Senator
William j. Harris was renominated for
a third term, and Richard B. Russell,
ir., and George H. Carswell waged a
nip-and-tuck battle for the guberna-
torial nomination in yesterdays Demo-
cratic primary, with the result still in
doubt today.
Harris overwhelmed former Gov.
John M. Slaton, rolling up 394 county
unit votes to for Slaton in 1913 OF
Georgiss 161 counties. The popular
vote was Harris, 34,885: Slaton, 23Sa0.
Returns from 152 counties gave Rus
sci l26 unit votes, Craswell 122, E. d.
Rivers S6. John N. Holder 81 and James
A. Perry 4. The popular vote was Rus
sell 1882; Carswell, 28,s0S; Holder,
24,131; Rivers, 20,98l, and Perry, 1858.
Must Have Majority of Units.
Under the Georgia system the coun-
ties must have two unit votes for each
of their representatives in the State
LEGISLATURE. The successful candidates
both for Governor and United States
Senator must have majority OF the
unit votes. There was every indication
today that second or run-of primary

Russell and Carswell would be neces-
sary october l to determine the winner
of the gubernatorial nomination
Only of Georgia's IL Representa-
tives had opposition. Representatives
Robert C. w. Ramspeck of the fifth dis
tirct and w. C. Landlord of the elev-
enth had long leads over their OPP
ponents. Two counties gave Judge John
Wood a slight margin over Represent
alive Thomas S. Bell, but these re-
turns were not considered decisive, and
Indictment weather hampered the re-
porting of other precincts.
S5,00O,0OO Deficit Issue.
The gubernatorial campaign centered
around ways and means of meeting
deficit of 100000 in the State treas
ury, with Carswell, present secretary OF
State, advocating plan of temporarily
diverting part of automobile license
tag revenue from highways to apply on
the debt. Russell, 32-year-old Speaker
of the House of Representatives and
son of the chief justice OF the Supreme
Court, championed economies in the
governmental machinery, tax revision
and text books to pupils at actual
cost
The Democratic nomination in Geor-
Ria is tantamount to election.

ROOSEVELT URGES
STATE RUM CONTROL
New York Governor Breaks Two
Year Official Silence ON
Prohibition Question.
Rv tne Assnciated press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, September H.
Gov Roosevelt yesterday broke a two
year official silence concerning the
prohibition question to announce him
self for repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment and substitution of a Federal
statute granting each State the right
to control the sale of intoxicants
In a letter to United States Senator
Robert F. Wagner, made public here,
the governor included the subject of
prohibition among the topics he be-
neved should be stressed at the Demo-
cratic State convention in Syracuse
the latter part of this month and added
he was positive in saying that there
must be some definite assurance that
by no possibility at any time or in any
place the old saloon can come back"
The governor urged that not only
should States be given control of liquor
but that there should be definite
recognition of the extension Of home
rule TO the lower subdivisions of gov
ernment-in other words, a recognition
of the right of cities, villages or towns
by popular vote to prohibit the sale of
intoxicants within their own borders
The eighteenth amendment the gov
ernor said, has not furthered the cause
of a greater temperance in our popula-
ton"
The announcement was regarded with
special interest in view of the frequent
recent mentioning of his name in con-
nection with the presidential candidacy
for 1882.

DEMOCRAT SCORES
REPUBLICAN RULE
Connecticut Convention Keynoter
Finds Corruption Tainting
Nine Years in Office.

By the Associated Press.
EASTERN POINT, Conn, September
11.-Full responsibility for the Nations
economic ills was placed upon the Re-
publican party last night by Homer S.
Cummings, former chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, in de-
livering the keynote address at the
opening of the Democratic State con-
vention here.
Mr.. Cummings, in reviewing nine
years of Republican rule, which he
found tainted with corruption" said
the party in power had failed to re-
deem campaign pledges, and urged
sweeping change of regime.
The new tariff law. he asserted, has
increased the burden upon the back of
the taxpayer; it has impaired the pur-
chasing power of the farmer; 1t has
dealt industry a staggering blow at a
period when it could least endure it, and
has produced ominous reverberations in
every country with which we had built
up q friendly relationship and favor
able trade balance"
The convention today will adopt a
platform and name State ticket. Prof
Wilbur L. Cross, who retired July !
as dean Of Yale Graduate School, will
be named for Governor.

DETROIT, September IL. - After
years of unsuccessful efforts, the vets
finally have carried trophies of conquest
from the political battlefelds of dry
Michigan"
One clear-cut victory was marked up
for the opponents of prohibition in the
Statewide primary Tuesday. Repre-
sentative Grant M. Hudson, former
superintendent of the Michigan Anti
Saloon League, was unseated in the
largest district In the United States, de-
cisively beaten by State Senator Sey-
mour H. Person, who was given the sup

Cramton Behind.
In another district, known as one of
the "driest" In the country in past
campaigns, Representative Louis G.
Cramton, dean of the prohibition lead
ers of the Lower House of Congress,
will not know until the official count is
completed whether he was defeated by
a man who had wet support. A correct
ed tabulation of returns from the 1874
precincts in this rural district today
showed Cramton's opponent, Jesse P.
Wolcott, running 1876 votes ahead.
Cramton had 25.515 and Wolcott IS, $50.
Wolcott, youthful prosecuting attor-
ney of st. Clair County, advocated a
national referendum on the prohibition
issue.
Persons plurality in the sixth district
probably will amount to $4,000 or more
on the final official count of the 800
precincts. His victory was made pos
sible by heavy vote in the industrial
area around Detroit and Pontiac. Hud-
son carried three other out-state coun-
ties. Two others in the race trailed far
behind

races in the primary today showed that
Senator James Couzens defeated his OPP
ponent for nomination for the Senate,
Chase s. Osborn, former governor, by
about 100000 majority.

Wilbart M. Brucker, attorney general,
won the Republican nomination for
Governor of Michigan over Alex j.
Groesbeck. former Governor, by approx
mately 5000 majority. This was shown
today as the tabulation was completed
of the vote cast in all but seven out
State precincts.
The poll from 1912 Of the States
1917 voting precincts gave Brucker
369,577, Groesbeck 364,735.
Judge Edward j. Jeffries of the
Recorders Court of Detroit polled 100,-
544 votes in these precincts. getting
most of them in Detroit, the Groesbeck
stronghold.
With the exception of Hudson and
