Long politicians Of the sixth district
today took up arms against the move
and were told that the challenge would
be met
In East and West Feliciana Parishes
the antagonists of Long seized the off
cial' ballots sent for the election and
applied the torch to them in the court
house squares.
They branded the called election as
conhscation Of the rights Of the people
and decreed that it should not be held,
but Long from his hotel quarters in
New Orleans declared that election will
be held" and that 1t will be held fairly
and honorably and the good manhood
and womanhood will be protected in ex-
pressing their voice"
There was only one name printed on
the ballots that were burned. That was
the name OF Mrs. Bolivar E. Kemp,
widow of the sixth district represents

ator Long said last night that he under

replace those destroyed.

The demand for more currency had a
great deal to do with the money battles
Of Andrew Jackson, whose contest with
Nicholas Biddle and the second United
States bank which he headed Is historic.
His fight would be comparable today
to a battle royal with wall Street" His
brain trust" then was known as the
Kitchen cabinet" composed mainly Of
journalists and personal advisers who
originated many of the tricks of the
trade in politics as practiced today.
Jackson prided himself upon being a
"hard money" man, and on his tours
about the country made show of the
silver, rather than paper, with which he
paid his accounts. However. the "con-
servatives" were allied against him.
But Jackson was convinced the bank
was meddling In politics, and moreover
that it was unsound for Government de-
posits.

HITLER GIVES BISHOP

Prohibition Interference by Either
National or State Governments
in Conflict.

BERLIN, December 2.-Strife in the
German Protestant Church, about which
little has been printed in Germany
because of press censorship. had be-
come a public issue today.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler made it
that yesterday when he forbade all
factions in the long-standing contro-
versy to seek intervention OF govern
ment authorities.
In his first public statement on the
question Hitler announced that neither
the national government nor state gov
ernments could interfere.
With this apparent additional sup
port from the chancellor to solve the
problem as he sees fit. Relchsblshop
Ludwig Mueller resumed negotiations
today for organizing new church
cabinet.
The cabinet resigned under pres
sure after a group headed by the Rev
Friedrich Won Bodelschwingh and others
had bitterly assailed the policies of some
of it's members. chiefly the Rev. Joachim
Hossenfelder. ...
He had been criticized for auegedly
condoning anti-SemitiSm in the church
and on other grounds related to ting
drive toward "a new German church

The demand for paper money wa
accelerated, too, because the Mint act
Of 1892 undervalued gold at the ratio
OF Is to ! and little Of 1t was minted
Silver disappeared as fast as 1t was
minted because the new dollars were
in demand for trade with the Spanish
possessions.
One Of the first results of the char
tering of the second bank In 1916 had
been to force the State banks to con-
tract their note issues and curtail their
loans to get on a specie basis. The
bank also attempted to control the note
issue of the State banks. These poll
cies nearly precipitated crash in 1919
Old Hostility Persisted.
The second bank inherited some hos
tility left by the first bank which had
been abolished In 1911.
But most Of Jacksons cabinet was
against his plan of withdrawing Gov
eminent deposits to the pet" or State
banks. He changed his Secretary Of the
Treasury three times before Taney
finally wrote the order. A hostile Sen
ate, friendly to Henry. Clay. voted to
censure the President
The gaunt old general, still suffering
from wounds received in duel and
from general debility as result Of his
military service, held to his course.
The bank difficulties, and the specie
circular" of 1886, coupled with Govern
ment financial transactions, led to the
panic of 1887. The specie circular
represented Jacksons hard money
policy, because it required the pay
nents for public lands to be made in
specie, and was therefore a drastic cur
tailment Of credit in the West.
But despite the clouds that were
gathering in 1886, the people elected

taxi concerns, to permit their drivers

of the Regional Labor Board to settle
the trouble have been futile.

retary of Labor and William Green,
