LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 7. Increas
ing majorities for state-wide prohibi
tion were recorded todaye in addi
tional returns from Tuesday's elec
tion. Tabulators had figured fijom
9'J of the 120 counties, which showed
a majority of 7797 for the amendment

General Albert C. Ritchie, democratic

been cut during the day by 27 votes.

COLUMBUS. O., Nov. 7. Returns
from b2 of the 88 counties as re
ceived by the secretary of state and
newspaper returns from the remain

secretary of state's office today in
dicated that the wets had won the
referendum on national prohibition
by a majority of 252.
Returns from only seven precincts
In the state were lacking in these
figures. If these seven precincts re
port dry majorities equal to last
year's, statisticians figured that the
drys would have a final majority of
3.1 votes. The missing precincts were
five in Logan and in Mercer county,
both rural communities.
The vote admittedly was eo close
that officials of the secretary of
state's office declared an official
count would be necessary to deter
mine the result.
The "dry" victories, which are con
ceded by "wet" leaders, are on the
2.75 per cent beer proposal and the
proposition to repeal state-wide pro
hibition. Both these proposals appar
ently have been defeated by majori
ties ranging from 15.000 to 30.000.
The wet victory was scored on the
Crabbe sti;?e prohibition enforcement
measure which probably has been de
feated by more than 30,000.
Dry leaders concede its defeat.

SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 7. (Spe

actually participate in the brutal kill
ing of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bryan of
Puyallup last month was admited by
Deputy Prosecutor T. H. Patterson
Friday when he filed an information
in superior- court formally accusing
Mrs. Nemitz and her son, William
Fay Ealy, with first-degree murder
and naming 25 witnesses to be called
by the state when the trial begins.
Ealy and Mrs. Nemitz were ar
riagned in the superior court this
afternoon and received until next Fri
day to plead.
The information alleges that "on
October 19, Mary Elizabeth Bryan was
choked, strangled and suffocated by
a cloth held in the hand of William
Fay Ealy,'" and that Mrs. Nemitz,
"though not personally present at the
time of the crime, did aid and help
in the planning of the crime."
Crawford E. White is attorney for
the accused mother and son. The de
fense will probably be an alibi, Ealy
having persistently declared that he
was attending a theater the night of
the murder.

National Chairman Tells Editors
Party Will Pass Necessary Laws
as Rapidly as Possible.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Nov. 7. Wi.ll
H. Hays, chairman of the national
committee of the. republican party,
speaking before the Republican Edi
torial association of Illinois tonight,
urged peace time "patriotism which
moves men to make their country's
welfare their own business" in ob
taining good government and solv
ing present problems, which he
termed largely economic. Exact jus
tice for capital and labor and elimina
tion of force w,ere asked. He said in j
part:
"I repeat and shall continually de
clare, that what we need in this
country is not "less polities', but more
attention to politics. Politics is the
science of government and what we
need is more attention to the science
of government.
"Our difficulties are largely eco
nomic. The industrial problems in
this country, which at the moment
seem to be overwhelming, can be, and
I have implicit faith, will be solved
in one way by finding: exact justice
and enforcing it.
Exact Justice Required.
"It is simply a matter of Roose
velt's 'square deal' exact justice for
labor, exact justice for capital and
exact justice for the public, the third
side of the triangle which must not
be lost sight of. To that end we
must develop a reasonable method for
honest and efficient labor to acquire
an interest in the business to which
labor is expected to give its best ef
forts. Pending this development the
equilibrium between production and
wages must be established and there
must be justice for all exact justice,
the justice of right and of reason, but
not of force. Justice for all and do
not forget that the American people
still know what exact justice is.
"The republican party from its in
ception has stood against undue fed
eralization of industries and activi
ties. There must be strong federal
regulation, but no federal ownership.
We have always endeavored and still
endeavor to find the middle ground
so well defined as between 'the an
archy of unregulated individualism
and the deadening formalism of in
efficient and widespread state owner
ship.' We are against paternalism in
government and we are against that
form of pedagogic paternalism that
has developed recently in this coun
try. We are against autocracy as vig
orously as we arc against anarchy.
Bolshevism and kaiserism are equally
dangerous in industry as in govern
ment. We are against both.
Republicans to Act.
"There shall be legislation" passed
as rapidly as possible, and when the
complete republican control neces
sary for full functioning shall have
been brought about, there shall be
legislation executed on all of these
things I have mentioned, all moving
in the direction of efficiency and
economy, for the establishment of
business in the country on a sound.
safe and sane basis; the solution of
the railroad problem; legislation for
a better relation between labor and
capital, with justice for both; a law
providing for a budget system for the
country's own business, a method
which should have been adopted long
ago and it is interesting to note that
in the message of the chief executive
last given to congress he omitted any
mention of a budget system.
Problems to Be Met.
There shall be legislation for the
development of trade, the improve
ment of our diplomatic service, the
solution of our shipping problem that
we may have a merchant marine ade
quate to meet the development of
world trade, the development of our
position on international relations and
still other innumerable problems, all
incident to the readjustment which is
imminent.
"Let not our great accomplishments
in war be marred by our inability to
order our own affairs. Mere agitation
and mere motion are not progress.
The vicious circle is not the shortest
distance between honest effort and
highest reward. Remember that one
man is only better than another man
when he does better. Give every well
behaved man his equality of opportu
nity and require from him his full
measure of accountability. Live and
let live is not enough we must live
and help live and as you live and
help live, find always exact Justice
and enforce it."
supervision of Ackerman & Harris,
and that if there has been any affilia
tion it is a financial affiliation,
or possibly a booking affiliation
wherein Mr. Loew will be benefited
by sending his acts over our circuit,
and wherein Ackerman & Harris will
be benefited by sending their acta
over the Loew circuit. We are rather
of the opinion that there has been no
sale of interests on either side, and
that it is an affiliation, with no re
linquishment on either side."
"Irving Ackerman and Sam Harris,
the only members of their firm, have
been in New York for several weeks,"
said W. W. Ely. "As we understand
it, Ackerman & Harris will continue
as operators of their own chain with
extended operations to take in all
Loew theaters west of a marginal
line to be agreed upon. This will In
clude also the prospective Loew the
aters in Canada, to stretch from Win
nipeg to Vancouver. ro new theaters
are planned for Oregon tnat we have
been informed of, but there are new
theaters under construction at Stock
ton, Oakland, Modesto, San Francisco-,
Los Angeles and Long Beach. Nat
urally this . arrangement will be
vastly beneficial for the amusement
seekers on this coast, for with the
establishment of a complete circuit,
as it were, better acts and bigger acta
can be brought out from the extreme
east. Heretofore the longest booking
Ackerman & Harris could give was
12 to 14 weeks. The new arrangement
will give an act work In 50 or 60
Loew houses in the east and middle
west, plus the time we can give them
out here, and with so many theaters
at their command Ackerman & Har
ris can now provide an entire year's
work for an act. Naturally the prom
ise of continual work will appeal to
high-class and standard performers.
As we understand it there will be no
change in the policy of the circuits,
joint vaudeville and photoplays.
Neither does the New York dispatch
announce any change in the manage
ment of the Portland house or others
on the Pacific coast."

A survey of the recommendations
shows the following contemplated

Appointment of an advisory board to

ments to the code to the city council. This
board is to be composed of three mem

"Wholesome Influence."
WASHINGTON. Nov. 7. Extension
of the Lever tood and fuel . control
law for six months after the procla

Palmer today told the
house agriculture committee.
unnatural economic conditions,"
the attorney-general said, would be
taken, "advantage of by unscrupulous
people." to make prices high unless
tne powers granted under the act are
continued in force. These condi
tions, he said, prevailed throughout
the world.
"The conditions In the country Im
mediately following peace make It
even more necessary that the law be
continued than the conditions that
prevailed and led to the enactment of
the original act," the attorney-gen
eral said.
Purpose of Act Explained.
"The act originally had for its pur
poses the increase of production and
to protect the people from war time
conditions -that result in high prices.
Since the armistice prices have large
ly increased, and unless the govern
ment control is continued over some
commodities, the after-war conditions
may result in higher prices than dur
ing the war Itself."
Suggestions by committeemen that
extension of all sections of the law
was unnecessary were answered by
the attorney-general urging blanket
extension for he said, "unexpected
situations," might arise, and that the
mere existence of the law would be
of wholesome influence.
"The main purpose of the exten
sion would be to stop profiteering,"
declared the attorney-general.
Answering questions resarding the

other than its injunction suit at In

also said that under the law the

Does America Face
Industrial Revolution?
Just before the Civil War William H. Seward told the nation that an "irrepressible conflict"
was at hand over slavery, and Abraham Lincoln warned the people that their nation could not
endure "half slave and half free' So, today, we find editors in both the conservative and rad
ical camps who see unmistakable signs that the conflict between labor and capital can neither
be compromised nor arbitrated but must be fought out, perhaps to a finish. They point to the
complete collapse of the President's industrial conference at Washington ; to the persistence
of the soft coal miners in going ahead with the strike policy which the President of the
United States has declared "immoral" and "illegal"; to the existence of the irregular and
unauthorized strikes in New York which labor's own leaders have been unable to stop; to
the steel strike, in which the United States Steel Corporation welcomed the fight to the finish
and seems to be winning it. They also note that President Gompers has called together all the
labor union heads of the country to take counsel with regard to "grave dangers" -which con
front labor and are "affecting the very foundation of its structure."
