BIG RHODE ISLAND
VOTE FOR REPEAL
Only One Small Community
Favors Retaining 18th
Amendment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freSS.
PROVIDENCE, r. l.. May 2.-Rhode
Island, third State to vote on repeal Of
the eighteenth amendment, today stood
firmly in the prohibition column.
Wisconsin and Michigan already have
voted in favor Of repeal.
Only one Rhode Island community,
the town of Hopkinton, voted to retain
the amendment as the electorate-150,-
pa to 20,874-named 81 repeal-pledged
delegates to the State convention May
8. Hopkinton voted 80 to 2s3 against
repeal.
Amendment Never Ratified.
Rhode Island, which never ratified the
eighteenth amendment and was COM
monty known as "wettest Of the States"
had State prohibition for three years.
Repeal was voted In 1889.
Repeal votes piled up rapidly as yes
terday's election progressed, with the
heaviest polling coming during the eve
ming hours just before closing time. All

repeal majorities, with the prohibition
group drawing its slight strength from
the rural communities.
Providence cast 60.662 repeal votes
to 6,75s retention ballots. The four
teenth voting district went anti-prohi-
bition by q majority Of ,545 to IL, and
in the seventeenth district the repeal
lists ran amuck, 1863 to 4.
Rhode Islands other i've cities
showed repeal majorities as high as 8
to /.
Prohibitionists Active.
An unusually active campaign had
been carried on by the prohibition
leaders, who attacked the recently en-
acted beer and liquor control law which
permits saloons for the sale Of beer.
The prohibition vote had been fore
cast as unusually heavy because Of the
saloon issue, and on election eve the
repeal supporters were bit reticent to
predict too great q victory.
C------ison Of yesterdays vote and
the baIssssag in the 1890 referendum
on retention of the eighteenth amend
ment, however, showed there was little
if any increase in prohibition senti-
ment. Three years ago Rhode Island
voted I'll 800 to 1852 against retain
ing the amendment.

ADMINISTRATION WORKING
 ON FARMERS PRICES

Washington, Nov. z3rd, (AP) - The administration, spurred by re- ports of growing unrest among the farmers, have drafted new plans to get higher prices for farmers, with limited price fixing. The matter is under consideration: The details of the plan are closely guarder as five midwestern gov ernors and Secretary Wallace are trying to get in into final form for Roosevelt.
 The Democratic House leaders, 'Rainey and Burns. the latter floor leader, said that the recent repub- lican pamphlet discussing Roose- welt and the MIRA, would prove a boomerang on the minority party because it contained nothing but obstructive criticism
 Rainey said that if the republi- cans desert the partisan atti- tude assumed in enacting legisla- tion. they also should suggest something better, which was not done. Burns also sad that there should not be any sniping by any political party in times like these. 'I don't think the people are going to pay much attention to that sort of attack. If the repub- licans have anything to offer, they should come forward with it.'

PROHIBITION RESULTS NEXT TUESDAY
UNDER THE NEW DEAL


 = Beginning with this issue The Monte Nugget will continue only us ia weekly paper, the Daily Tele- a'aph Bulletin hRving been sus- pended November 1st, fos the win tee period or at least until CO.'S dit sons warrant fesuming aaIly publication.
 It is the publishers intention to print an eight page weekly he {, ginning next week. adding new i features to it's news counns. Tele graph service will be maintained as usual. The Weekly Nugget will go to press not later than one pm. every Saturday. thus insur- ing advertisers an early distribu tion of the papers to the sub scribers. This rule will not he elastic, and advertisers are re- queated to plan their advertising ahead and work with us.
 Anything needed during the week to advertise some important matter, can be arranged by print ing dodgers or circulars. but even this would hardly bet eeessary if pans are made. in advance for all son' al affairs, thus giving the pub lie at leas one weeks notice in advance.
 The Job printing department of the Nugget is at your service. we will have more time to devote to this.p,abranch@g>of the. business and. hope that ffak trade at home among 7;he merchants as we'll as the people, will have more effect in Nome from now on than it has in the past. Our rates will be fair and in accordance with our expense of doing business without maintaining a big overhead
 Subscrip ion rates to the weekly Nugget beginning Nov 1st will be SIPS per month, by carrier within the city limits, or $12.OO per year payable in advance. Rates via mafl to outlying sections and the. states will remain as usual S12.00 per year n advance. Tn order to encourage the building up of Ia larger subscription list in Nome and discourage the practice of buying from route carriers, the price of single copies will be 35 cents. If we are to mainta'n a good weekly paper, it is going to be necessary to receive the finan- cial support of those who are in position to subscribe for the home paper.
 It is a hard task to keep up paper in any small town, more especially when it furnishes an Associated Press wire service. The Nugget, owing to it being on the tail end of the northern section Of the telegraph line, pays twice las much per word as any other paper in Alaska. due to the fact that the change. in rates begin this |side of Fairbanks The newspaper, needs you and the community needs the newspaper, why not pull together?
 The future of Nome as a min ing field looks better now than for the past eight years, new inter est in mining has taken root with the increase in price of gold. our greatest progress will commence with the opening of navigation, but we should boost all winter in- stead of laying dormant and knock ling. You can assist by subscrib- ing for our home town paper which will help boost our section. -

VANDENBERG TALKS
IN FORUM 0NFEb. I
Michigan Senator to Discuss
Guarantees of Time De.
posits in Banks.

The pressing need for reform of the
banking laws of this country, with par
ticular emphasis on a proposal for the
guarantee of time deposits In banks,
will be discussed by Senator Arthur
Vandenberg of Michigan in the Ma
tional Radio Forum Friday, February
II, at 1890 pm. The National Radio
Forum Is arranged by The Washington
Star and broadcast over a coest-to-
coast network of the National Broad
casting Co.
Senator Vandenberg believes that one
of the great needs of the country today
is to deal with bank reforms, particu-
larly in the interest of the depositor,
so as to make impossible the large
number Of bank failures which have
taken place in the last few years. He
has prepared and introduced q bill
dealing with the guarantee Of time de-
posits alone, which, he contends, avoids
the pitfalls of a general bank deposit
guarantee and insures well run banks.
