Most of Statistics Already Compiled, Secretary Davis Asserts WASHINGTON, Mar. 6. (AP) Figures from an unemployment survey undertaken recently by the labor department are now nearly complete. Secretary Davis said to day and show an improvement in the country's business conditions. although It has been necessary to recheck some of the totals before making them public. The labor department will issue I s report as soon as the details are complete and not await the de mand made upon it yesterday by a senate resolution for an estimate of employment conditions. In general it can be said that there is an upward trend to em ployment," Mr. Davis said. "Bus iness is becoming more active and more workers are being replaced no payrolls. We do not intend to get out anything but thoroughly accurate figures and are conse quently more than usually careful in working up the data obtained by the inquiry. "However, my study of the re turns at hand indicates that the steel business has gone steadily upward during recent weeks, at taining 80 per cent of capacity; that construction work of all types Is getting under way; that the Ford Motor company is reemploy ing Its men In large numbers at Detroit, relieving a situation which had been bad there for some months; that the outlook for in creased government expenditures in the Mississippi valley Is' occas ioning renewed enterprise. "Along with these betterments in the general situation is the in direct acceleration brought about todajr because of anticipated de mand for commodities by the newly employed sections of the population. "The labor department will make public Its estimates on em ployment as soon as the figures are compiled." OBITUARY Fuller Ronald Dean Fuller. Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Fuller.

This young lady has wonderful amount of energy and is a real "go getter." Her friends are organizing in her behalf, and she Is unquestionably one of the best candidates in the contest. She apneals to her friends and the public in geenral to vote for her with the free voting ballot and their subscriptions. munity Is about to see some of the hardest campaigning and the most 'spectacular work yet exper ienced. AH through the States man territory the campaign is as suming its logical place as the one affair of importance. All contestants are hustling preparations, for the final dash for supremacy friends of the candidates are. with one accord, determined to help their favorites fight valiantly through to victory. Excitement is keyed to the high est pitch. Riding, on the waves of this wonderful demonstration of public enthusiasm are the candidates who are exerting the vigorous ef forts to capture the magnificent prizes, especially the luxurious automobiles.

Present indica tions ; unmistakably, point to " a hair-breadth finish, and from the way It looks now the big prises will be won by a very narrow mar Sin. Nobody's Victory Yet As no candidate can be certain of victory, there is abundant spec ulation as to the final outcome. First one candidate and then an other Is picked to land the big prize, and thle is undoubtedly due to the extreme closeness of the race. It is only those who rise to the occasion and maintain a stiff upper lip, brushing aside every obstacle that may arise, that have the best chance of winning. The race io too close to bank on any possibilities. Relaxation at this stage is suicidal to success. Determination to win. in connec tion with relentless activity of vote-getting, will make any con testant a winner. What is intend ed to be done must be done now. To dillydally or delay is to let some other candidate sweep ahead of yon. If there ever was a time that candidates should be up and do ing, it is right now. The prizes are worth every bit of effort in you. Where else or how else can your time be as remunerative or as productive? No one hae any thing "cinched" today. Not a candidate is resting so easily that she or he need not put forth every ounce of energy possible. It would not be hard Tor a new candidate to enter and to go around in front. Work as you never worked before. The liveliest part of the compe tition is now at hand, and while all the leaders are on the same footing at the same time those who want to, and will are af forded the opportunity of the en tire campaign to forge ahead and corral the winning votes. In conclusion, let it be em phatically stated that this is the time of all times these last few days of the Whippet period are the most vitally important of the campaign. Monday night at ' midnight looms big on the horizon every tick of the clock brings it nearer and nearer. Remember the time next Mon day, March 12, at midnight is the final hour of the Whippet Coach prize. You muat act accordingly if you want to win. Big preparations are being made by the candidates for a real finish for the Whippet Coach prize. For Sale 1927 Oldsmobile 6 SEDAN Good Buy Call at Eikers Auto Co.

' WHEELER RTC BOURBON ECLIPSE Party Threatened With Be ing Wiped Off Political Map, Charge WASHINGTON, March, . (AP). Outlining his views on a (campaign platform. Senator Wheeler of Montana, declared Monday "unless the democratic party becomes progressive and liberal it will be wiped off the po litical map." He spoke before the woman's national democratic club, and avoided any reference tof candidate. The Montana democrat who in 1924 ran for vice president on the,' Ia Folletle ticket, said the demo cratic party must take a fearless stand to protect the rights of the masses against special privilege, which he contended had been ben efitting under republican rule. "If we 6houId draft a platform along progressive and liberal lines, and name candidates in j sympathy with such a stand," he asserted, "there would be no I doubt of success in November. 1 1 hope the democrats won't let big! business dominate another con- vention." ' j Raising the corruption issue,! Mr. .Wheeler said it had been j shown, "by my distinguished col-j league," (Senator Walsh. Mon-j tana) that the republican party j had accepted the campaign con- tributions from Harry F. Sinclair.!
