MOUNTAIN GROVE, Mo, April II

MADRID, April 11-Spain tomorrow
will have her first elections in eight
years, naming aldermen from all
municipalities. Theoretically only local
issues are involved, but actually it is
considered a test vote between RepubI-
cans and MonarchistS.
Troops are confined to barracks
throughout the nation and heavy
police and civil guard forces are in
readiness to cope with possible out
breaks.
Roughly about so 900 aldermen will
be chosen in nearly 10000 munich
palities. In some places as many as
20 party tickets are contesting

government hopes to continue it's poll

elections on May 3 for local provincial
counsels and general elections in the
latter part OF June for representatives

vert itself into a constitutional conven-
ton to decide whether Spain shall be
a monarchy or a republic
There is much uncertainty among
political observers as to whether such
program can be carried out. II the
Republicans make poor showing to-
morrow the left wing faction may alb
stain in parliamentary elections. Such
abstention wrecked the government of
Gen. DamsSco Berenguer.
Irrespective of this, reports persist
that Premier Juan Anar's cabinet may
have shake-up soon. Such a develop

another revolutionary movement might
cause the establishment OF a dictator

untusttfied, the AZnar government will

 "When a country wishes to re- turn to or re-establish the gold standard, 1t is usually the subject of considerable debate as to whether 1t will be upon the same basis as before or upon 8 lower basis. Take France, for instance. When she returned to the gold standard after the war. the franc was stabilized at 3.93, whereas. be- fore the war the gold equivalent of the franc was 19.3. In this way the internal merchandising m France was not disturbed for the reason that no change was made Tn the actual value of the franc and one franc would buy the. same amount of goods or merchandise on the following day as on the day before. This. however, aid not reduce the actual amounts due by France to other nations on an actual gold basis. It meant that they should pay for their merchant disc to other countries according to the gold standard as represented by the amount of gold content in the franc as compared with the amount of gold content in the American dollar or pound sterling.
 U. S. Greatest Creditor
 "At the present time the United States is the outstanding creditor nation in the world and controls the largest amount of the mone- tary gold supply. In addition, we also produce @ preponderance Of many important commodities and because of this possess the means of maintaining favorable trade balances. In addition to the sub stantial gold reserve which we con- trol in the United States in sup port of our circulating currency. there are in circulation approx- mately $1,000. 00,000 in gold certif- icates backed by a 100 per cent gold reserve. By gradually sub stituting other currency for these certificates, we could add this gold to our reserves and thereby greatly increase our ratio.
 T hope I have made myself per- fectly clear in my effort to explain to you the meaning and importance of gold standard and that you will carry away with you the knowledge that our country is well fortified as the leading financial center of the world, with ample resources finan- cially and industrially to enable us to carry on a volume of business in excess of that which is possible in any other country. The thing we need most at this time is con- fidence and courage without which nothing can be accomplished, re- gardless of other resources. Go out, therefore, into the highways and by ways and preach optimism and confidence in the ability of yourself and your fellow man to contribute to the improvement that now appears on the commercial, industrial and financial horizon"

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-09

Decision was rendered to-day in the famous ''horse-show" case which was tried in the common pleas court here about month ago. The testimony that came out dealt with preparations and cus- toms followed in entering a horse in a fashionable horse show that was held in Hartford in 1880. By the terms of the decision handed down to-day by Judge Edward J. Finn. William Wright of New York City, noted horse-show outfitter, is awarded damages of $192.64 against Frederick W. Holcomb of Watertown.
 The action was brought by the New York furnisher to recover for equipment and proper clothing for the rider of the defendants horse in the Hartford horse show in the summer of 1880. It was alleged that the defendants agent, one Frank Adams of the Watertown Riding Club was authorized to pur- chase these riding apparel from the plaintiff in order that the rider of the defendants horse might suc- cessfully contend for the ribbons, cups and prizes to be awarded in the show. It was alleged that the equipment furnished by the plain tiff was largely instrumental in the defendants horse being awarded several prizes.
 Attorney John H. Cassidy repre- senting the plaintiff in the trial os the action and Attorney Francis T. Reeves appeared for the defend- ant.
 In his decision, Judge Finn states that the defendants recollection of the events was not clear. He points out that the intense feeling that developed after the transaction might easily cause 8 distortion of memory of facts" He adds, "I am convinced that the merchandise was purchased by the defendants
