ject Badly Needed

The federal government has
turned thumbs down on Blue
fields request for a loan-grant
to develope a municipal swim

both of which would be self
liquidating projects. The appli-
eaton was the city's only one
under the current lend-spend

The action was disclosed yes

P. Mitchell, following receipt
of letter from H. A. Gray, as
sistant administrator of the

The project was denied de-
spite the efforts of Rep. John

Grand juries in various states

Republican national committee
man Walter S. Hallanan tonight
land West Virginia will prove
fertile ground in bringing shock
ing disclosures to public atten-
tion."
Hallanan said in an address
prepared for a Republican poll
tical rally at Douglass high
school:
"The use of federal funds
appropriated for human relief
to control elections has become
a national scandal.It is the dark
est page ever written in our
political history.
Within the last few days
more than seventy indictments
were returned by a federal grand
jury in the state of New Mexico
against the sister and other
close relatives and the private
secretary of the New Deal Sena-
tor Omitted States) from that
stat for frauds and thefts per-
petuated in the administration
or relief funds.
What has gone on in New
Mexico is a fair example of what
has been going on in practically
every other state. The grand
juries will eventually get around
to the investigation of these
frauds in the other states and
West Virginia will prove fertile
ground in bringing shocking
disclosures to public attention"
Hallanan c h ar g e d that
if New Dealers lad not seized
the United States treasury and,
under the pretense Of national
emergency, taken your money
to use for selfish purposes, they
would have long ago been driven
| from power"
He said that the Republican
lparty in this campaign pledges
Ito every needy citizen, Democrat
Tor Republican, "that he can get
relief without surrendering his
constitutional right to vote as
| he pleases. No man or woman
will be denied relief because
they may be registered as Demo
Gratis"

Labor Deprived of Work and

Foreign Imports Mount at In
Credible Rate
(By Henry ID. lIathe!d.)

Wy AiNili ~. IlitllSlu.)
One of the most amazing de
velOpments of he Huil-Roo4c-
volt tariff treaty program was
the discovery that $l,582, 00O, 900
out of t h e $3,0lO,000,0O0 i'm
ports in 1897 consisted Of agri-
cultural products. Mr.. Hull at
tempted to explain this ;~vay by
saying that these 1882, 900
900 of agricultural products con-
sisted of Sill, 000,G00 items not
produced in this country. An
other $1l6,000,000 consisted of
sugar. This left unaccounted for
sos, 100000 Of farm Imports
which makes a mochery of the
time honored slogan American
markets for the American farm

Thus we see what an avowed
free trader in the State Depart
ment has done to the American
farmer and the American Work
ing man.
Our home market has been
sold out to the foreigner. de-
priving American laborer of
work and the American farmer
OF income. The whole situation
with regard to the devasting ef-
tets OF these tariff treaties may
}still be summed up, according to
the statement which | made in
1882, as follows:
Tariff by treaty, in nv
onAio3lrwauh sanction a species.
of brigandage on the part of
foreign nations-with the fatal
corrolIary that one part of the
United States would not know
