explanations, it has been fairly well
accepted in political circles that there
was a prearransrement with rettard
to Samuels and Nugent, whether it Is

caiiea a "deal' in the sense of tne
word or labeled something else.
The entire controversy is causing
no little friction in the democratic
party. In defending Nugent, the
New Freedom, the state democratic
mouthpiece published here, speaking
of the counter movement among the
self-styled "Legion of Loyal Demo
crats" says: "The claim that this
movement was - started because
Samuels withdrew in favor of Nugent
is a lie. The so-called loyalists today
must be ready to sacrifice the rest
of the democratic" ticket to beat
Nugent, just as 'they were ready to
sacrifice Moore for the same purpose
two years ago."

REPUBLICANS FEEL SAFE
Rumor Persistent That Leaguers
Will Be Instructed at Eleventh
Hour to Vote for Walters.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 16. (Special.)
The first day allowed by law for can
didates nominated at the August pri
mary to withdraw from tickets on
which they were named has passed
and S. D. Fairchild remains as standard-bearer
of the Non-partisan league
in this state, forcing a. three-cornered
fight for governor. While Mr.
Fairchild did not step aside,' as did
H. F. Samuels, the league's candidate
lor senator, in order that John F.
Nugent,, democrat, might have clean
sailing, it is said, the word will go
down the line among leaguers during
the eleventh hour of the campaign to
vote for T. A. Walters, democrat'c
candidate for governor. League, lead
ers are positive in their statements
that there will be no switching from
airchild: that they have given in as
far as they can to the democrats and
their full force will be voted for their
candidate for governor.
But league leaders must know, as
the republican and democratic lead
ers' know, that, if Fairchild remains
actively in the race the republican
gubernatorial nominee, D. W. Iavis,
will be elected. It will take some
thing decidedly sensational to change
the situation between now and elec
tion day.
State Chairman Thomas, however,
Is taking no chances. He has speak
ers, including all of the candidates
from senator down, actively engaged
on the stump. Governor Davis has
been spending the week in the north,
together with Representative French,
while Attorney-general Black and
Frank R. Gooding, candidate for sen
ator, have toured the south. Gooding
is now working into northern terri
tory and will be there two weeks.
Democrats Have Strong; Hopes.
Apparently the democrats have
strong hopes of winning even in a
three-cornered fight in a state nor
mally republican like Idaho. Waiters,,
candidate for governor, has been on
the stump three weeks and expects
to remain out until just before elec
tion. Walters was attorney - gen
eral during the Alexander adminis
tration. He is spoken of as Alex
ander's candidate for governor. That
former Governor Alexander and
former Attorney-General Walters are
close friends is well known. That
Alexander will do everything pos
sible to elect Walters is also a fact.
He is on the stump now urging his
candidacy before electors and vigor
ously attacking the Davis administra
tion. Former Governor Hawley,
former Senator "Perky and other lead
ing democrats have been drafted and
placed in the harness. Nothing is
being left undone to save Senator
Nugent and to elect Walters. Out
eide of these two the democrats have
little hope.
In the meantime, the Non-partisan
league is lending a helping hand.
Samuels is speaking in many parts
of the state for Nugent. This has
aroused no little comment and has
stimulated interest in the alleged
combination between the democrats
nd the league, which the "Loyal
Legion of Democrats" is fighting
with all of the strength at its com
mand, but thaf strength is limited
because the membership of the latter
league is limited.
In support of its contention that
there was no deal made to ..withdraw
Samuels at the time he was nom
inated for senator, but that he agreed
to withdraw if a referendum vote of
the delegates at the league conven
tion so dictated, the Idaho Leader,
mouthpiece of the league, published
all of the correspondence that passed
between Samuels, the league and the
notification letter of Samuels to Nu
gent that he had withdrawn in his
favor and thrown the league's sup
port to "him. The reply of Nugent
clearly shows that the league's sup
port is accepted and appreciated. In
his letter to Samuels, Nugent said he
had endeavored to serve his constitu
ents to the .best of his ability while
in the senate and that his acts had
been satisfactory was gratifying to
him.
Agreement or Deal Denied.
Nugent's supporters assert that he
would be unwise indeed to decline to
accept the support of any organiza
tion in appreciation of his work in
the senate. They declare Samuels'
action was voluntary and that the
league is going to support Nugent
because of his record in the senate.
They deny any agreement or deal was
made, declaring that Samuels with
drew in conformity with a resolution
passed by a joint state convention of
the league and organized labor held
at Boise August 3. the resolution
asking that if Nugent was nominated
- the democratic state convention
WOLFF WILL NOT HANG
SENTENCE COMMUTED TO LIFE
IMPRISONMENT.
Governor Stephens Acts on Report
of Physicians,, Who Say Prisoner
Mentally Is Only a Boy.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Oct. 16. The
sentence of death imposed on Roy
Wolff, aged 17, for the murder of El
mer Greer in Kern county was com
muted today by Governor William D.
Stephens to life imprisonment. Wolff
was under sentence to be hanged at
San Quentin prison October 22. His
home is Takima, Wash.
Commutation was made, a statement
from the governor's office said, upon
recommendation of the state advi
sory pardon board. The report of
this board, submitted to the governor,
quoted the testimony of a group of
physicians called to examine Wolff
that his mentality was that of a. child
between 11 and 12 years of age. .
A deluge of letters and telegrams
had ' come to the governor's office
from all parts of the state and nation
asking executive -clemency on account
of Wolff's youth.
CHAUFFEUR WOLFF'S VICTIM
EJmer E. Greer, Hired to Go to
Wedding, Goes to Death.
BAKERSFIELD. Cal.,' Oct. 16. Roy
Wolff was convicted here last Sep
tember of the murder of Elmer E.
Greer, automobile driver of Taft, Cal.,
May 26, 1919. Police said Wolff con
fessed to the murder shortly after his
arrest.
Wolff killed Greer while riding as
a passenger in his automobile, ac
cording to the testimony at the trial.
He employed Greer to take him from
Taft into the nearby hills to attend a
wedding. On the trip Greer was
struck on the head by his passenger,
who rode in the rear seat. Wolff
then threw Greer out of the car and
drove off, leaving the automobile
man for dead.
Greer, however, did not die in
stantly, but dragged, himself to a
railroad line and flagged a train,
which brought him to Bakersfield.
Arriving here he told of the assault,
described the passenger and .said his
name was Roy Wolff, a boy who had
worked at Kerton, n oil. town near
Taft. Greer died 'that night after
undergoing an operation.
The automobile, it was learned
later, was driven by Wolff to Living
ston, Merced county, where it was
found on a street the day following
the murder. Wolff left the car and
went to San Francisco. .
Two weeks later Wolff surrendered

to the sheriff at Yakima, Wash.,
where he fled to his parents. He
was brought back to Bakersfield and
convicted of murder in the first de
gree. Later, on an appeal, the state
supreme court affirmed the convic
tion and Wolff was sentenced to be
hanged.
Intercession to have his .sentence
commuted to life imprisonment was
made by several organizations. Greer'B
coutein, William A. Greer, a San Quen
tin convict, wrote Governor Stephens
askink executive clemency. The cou
sin said he thought Wolff mentally
deficient.
ILL WOMAN CARRIED; MILES
Lack of Roads in Lane. County
Causes Men to Make Tramp.
EUGENE, Or.. Oct. 16. (Special.)
Inconvenience of .oftentimes suffering
caused by the lack of roads in the
northwestern part of Lane county is
illustrated in the fact that one day
this week four men were compelled
to carry Miss Ellen Stevens, resident
of. the Ten Mile section, many, miles
on a stretcher over mountain trails
to reach a train so she could be- sent
to Portland for treatment.
Miss Stevens was taken ill and it
was believed that immediate atten
tion was necessary. Men of the
neighborhood improvised a stretcher
and four started with her over the
mountains for Indian creek. Rain fell
all day and the men, soaked to the
skin, were nearly exhausted when
they reached their destination.

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 15. Argentine
government, gold deposits in the
United States, which at one time ap
pregated more than 170,000,000, were
exhausted today -when the Argentine
National bank released $2,770,000 in
exchange operations.
Use of this gold in payment for Ar
gentine imports has during the last
few months checked the advance of
the American dollar here, bankers
say.
Negotiations to induce North Amer

exchange situation- becomes better
are going on.
