ELECTION Anglers
LONG OPPRESSED
!. LOUISIANA VOTERS
Who Will Be New Congress-
man From Sixth District
Is Still Mystery.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS, La, December g.
Louisiana today was In the paradoxical
position Of having elected a member of
Congress from the sixth district and of
still wondering who will represent the
district in Congress when the House
of Representatives convenes in January.
Polls which survived the torch and
injunctkons reported the nghtest vote
in the history of the sixth district when
surprise" election day was over Tues.
day.
Mrs. Bolivar E. Kemp, ST., widow of
the late Representative of the sixth dis
trict and only candidate whose name
appeared on ballots used In the election,
complicated matters Wednesday when
she issued a statement offering to resign
"and join in the move to have vacancy
In Congress filled only by primary and
general election"
on ballots as the Democratic nominee
after eight members of the Democratic
executive committee of the district met
in New Orleans, outside the confines Of
the district, on November 27, eight days
before the election day and one day
before Gov. o. K. Aliens proclamation
was published, and designated her the
party nominee.
Secretary of State E. A. Conway, who
was enjoined from placing the name
of Mrs. Kemp "or any other person"
on the ballots as Democratic nominee,
testified in trial Of the injunction suit
that the ballots were prepared before
a temporary restraining order was issued
t,x- T,.A Il, D-%
Rouge. The secretary Of state testified
that he could not swear that the ballots
were not printed before the Democratic
executive committee members desig-
mated Mrs. Kemp was the nominee
without calling primary.
Polling places in three of the nine
parishes of the district were not open
under an Injunction issued by Judge
Nat B. Tycer of Hammond, who held
that the election was illegal and pro-
hibited election supervisors in his judi
cial district from distributing the bal
lots bearing Mrs. Kemp's name as
Democratic nominee.
Polls in other parishes were closed
because of the burning of ballots or
because no election commissioners could
be found to serve, and the aggregate
vote was less than 5,000 compared with
a total registration OF 62.854.
Heaviest vote in the surprise" elec-
ton was at Angola, the only polling
place which was open in West Feliciana
parish, where the East Louisiana Hos
pital has large pay roll.
Citizens of the district had called an
"open-for- election to be held De-
cember 81 before Mrs. Kemp made her
offer to resign and join the movement
to force holding of primary.
The sixth district controversy, in
which opponents of Senator Huey P
Longs political machine offered passive
resistance by staying away from the
polls and by having watchers check the
names of persons who voted, overshad-
owed the formal repeal Of prohibition
during the week.
Little attention was paid in New Or
leans to repeal, as bars and restaurants
have been operating wide open" here
since the passing Of prohibition became
certainty.

Repeal of prohibition was just some

This State eliminated the prohibition
clause from its Constitution early in

the books and no effort has been made
yet to remove them.
The attorney general is expected tc
rule, however, that beer above the

BOISE, Idaho, December 9.-Idaho's
State Department Of Law Enforcement
will not patrol the State borders to pre-
vent importation of intoxicating liquors,
Commissioner Emnitt Pfost announced
with the passing OF the eighteenth
amendment.
'Our officers have always been in
structed to bring in cars found to be
carrying liquor" Pfost said. IF mo-
torist is obviously drunk, or if he has
been stopped for reckless driving and
his machine is found to contain liquor,
The Department Of Law Enforcement will
file charges as in the past.
Our liability and interest applies only
to the traffic phase" Pfost declared.
"Our officers are not instructed to search
automobiles for liquor Enforcement Of
the States prohibition laws will be a
matter for local police and sheriff's
. forces to cope with. Only when our CO.
officials will We intervene"
With the ratification of the twenty
first (repeaD amendment by Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio and Utah last Tuesday, Idaho
became q legally dry oasis practically
surrounded by States in which liquor
sales are legal.
Although Idaho, at a special session
of the State Legislature last Summer,
1egahzed manufacture and sale of 80
beer. within the State and although
Idaho citizens at special election last
Fall voted for repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and the constitutional con-
veation subsequently ratified the twenty
first amendment, Idaho remains legally
dry.
The Legislature refused to enact liquor
control legislation or to provide for a
vote by the people on repeal of the pro-
hibition amendment to the State Con-
stitution. Gov. G. Ben Ross has refused
to call a special election or a special
session Of the Legislature to repeal the
States dry laws. Hence. Idaho will
probably remain legally dry until after
the next general election in November
1885:
The civil works program is paying
Idaho workmen approximately $760,000
a month, Gov. Ross estimated Nearly
100000 of this amount is being paid
to the more than 10000 men, who until
the program began were on county relief

DES MONIES, Iowa, December g.
The new deal has reached Iowa with a
bang. Iowa, where a month ago farm
ers were on strike, is beginning to feel
the influence of the S63, ,O3O, 900 in Fed
eral funds which are to be pumped into
it before March l. Iowa has become
overnight the proving ground for the
new deal.
To answer the question, Whats
happening in Iowa?" is to answer the
question of the immediate success or
failure of the Federal administrators
farm recovery program.
And the answer is: The farmer who
was pieketing highways month age
has money in his pocket today. He's got
IL without selling his corn. He's going
to get more on his promise to reduce
his next two corn and hog crops. And
he's making the promise.
Friends of the administration expect
Federal corn loans in Iowa soon TO
reach a total of 81 100000 a day and
to continue that rate for weeks on end
until an approximate total Of s27,00o,-
600 Is reached.
incidentally, since corn loans began
TO be made in earnest this last week.
everybody seems to be friend Of the
administration There has been not
even a peep from Milo Reno, esrtwhile
head of the nation farm strike)
ss5,o00,o00 Corn Loan.
The highlight in the last week of the
corn loans was that made on TUESDAY
to w. P. Adams Of Odebolt for $l35. .000
on 100000 bushels of corn. Mr.. Adams
owns 6.400 acres in one farm, which
covers 10 square miles. Each year he
plants 5000 acres in corn. Under the
loan agreement he will agree to cut his
acreage in 1884 and 1885 to 2.4oo acres.
For this reduction he will receive as
"rental" an additional S6,S40.
Rental payments will be made to Mr..
Adams on the basis Of 38 bushels to the
acre at 80 cents a bushel. the estab-
Ished rental, although his farm has
produced an average Of so bushels to
the acre for years.
Mr.. Adams case Is significant be-
cause 1t emphasizes what the recovery
program means to Iowa, where 19 per
cent of the country's corn is raised
any foreign nation-and where is pro-
duced rs per cent of the Nations hogs.
Mr.. Adams is an exception, but there
are some 1000 other Iowa farmers
whose holdings are from one-eightieth
to one-twentieth that of Mr.. Adams to
whom the corn loans. hog bonuses and
corn land rentals will mean, in the ag-
gregate, about s1o0,000,00o.
Spread of Federal Funds.
OF this amount $s3,000,000 is ex-
pected to be in circulation in the State
by March /. The remaining S37 100000
will be spread over two payments, No
vember, 1884, and February 1885.
Thus in the next IA months the sur
pluses Of corn and hogs which drove
pessimistic farmers to attempt ma
tional strike are to be reduced without
dumping them on a burdened market;
future production is to be curtailed
and the farmers are going to be $780,
100000 better of without sending a
shoat to the packers.

SEATTLE, December 9.-Washington's
Legislature is now sitting in special
session, the fourth in its A years Of
Statehood.
Called by Gov. Clarence D. Martin for
enacting liquor control legislation, the
session is not limited to this one sub
ject but can range over the entire field
If it so sees fit.
The Governor in his message urged
The enactment of legislation giving to
he State absolute control Of the liquor
traffic, and also the right to license and
tax, and to collect all revenues and
profits which might be derived from
the sale of hard liquors.
He informed the members that other

Of all further responsibility for its ac-
tions.
Merchants Report Gains.
Despite the fact that the special ses-
sion is sitting, and the convening Of
the Legislature has q general tendency
to slow up business activities, merchants
throughout the State report an increas-
ing business, and q much more opti-
mistic view of conditions is to be found
in all sections. In the larger centers
the retail trade is showing marked
gains, and more money is rapidly going
into circulation.
This can be traced directly to the re-
employment of thousands under the
Civil Works Administration, more so
than to the public works program,
which, while taking care of several thou
sand workers, has not exceeded to any
great extent the usual number employed
by counties, State and Government on
this character Of work during the last
few years.
The State Department Of Labor and
Industry reports a growing industrial
pay roll, as shown by It's records, and
gradual increase as a result Of the
revenues to the industrial insurance
fund.
Wheat Movement Gains.
The movement of wheat through the
seaport to China is also increasing ac-
tivity along the water fronts of the sea-
ports and several large freighters which
have been tied up for year or more
are being reconditioned and placed in
service, providing employment in the
repair yards and for seagoing men.

LOCAL ORDINANCES
ONLY RESTRICTIONS
IN WET WISCONSIN
Conflicting Opinion Threat.
ems of Liquor Control
Legislation.
BY WILLIAM T. EyyuE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MADISON, Wis, December 9.-The
coming Of prohibition repeal this week
found Wisconsin one of the few States
where no restrictions. save for local
ordinances, are to be applied on the
sale Of liquor and it Is matter Of
conjecture whether this situation win
be changed before the Christmas hon-
days.
While Gov A. @. Schmedeman has
called a special session of the Legis-
lature for 10 am. Monday and an
administration liquor law has
been whipped to near completion. 1t
Is doubtful II speedy action will be
taken because OF a wide conflict of
opinion on the part Of legislators and
the public generally. An attempt, how
ever, will be made by party leaders
to hold its legislative Democratic ma
jority in line and pass the admin
istration's program without change.
Numerous amendments, It Is reported,
are certain to be offered both by the
administration partisans as well as the
opposition.
Old Ordinances Used.
Old liquor ordinances, most Of them
dating back before the advent of pro-
hibition, were called into play to reg
ulate the sale Of intoxicants in most
cities. Milwaukee, resurrecting its
ordinance Of 1914, rushed job printing
presses to turn out sufiicient permit
blanks to handle the demand from
taverns and restaurants for liquor
licenses. A temporary bond Of $500
was required Of each applicant pending
the issuing Of permanent licenses.
Citizens by the thousands in wet
Wisconsin celebrated the end Of pro-
hibition at road houses, hotels and In
private homes. While the supply of
spirits was. not described as plentiful,
heavy importation of legal liquor was
reported early this week, the bulk of
1t going to Milwaukee, which acted as
distributing point.
