' Fringed by a multitude of lo-
eal questions, prohibition . repeal
. today comes before the Toters of
. six states in .what promises to be
the decisive test of whether the
' constitution shall retain its anti
' liquor provisions.
r More than a fifth of the "na
tion's population lives in the six
states that are voting on repeal
; Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Caroli
na, North Carolina, Kentucky
and Utah. ;
' Of the local Issues, chief atten
tion centers upon the three cor
nered mayoral contest in New
York city In whieb is Involved
. whether Tammany Hall shall
continue its domination.
Administration leaders who
;have been urging removal of the
eighteenth amendment from the
constitution, chief among them
Postmaster General Farley, ex
pressed confidence that the day's
voting would signal the end of
, their campaign.
They viewed Pennsylvania,
South Carolina and Kentucky as
virtually certain to - add their
rotes to the- 33 states which al
ready have voted for repeal and
said there was little doubt Ohio
and North. Carolina would do
likewise. They were less certain
, abont Utah but pointed to the
fact that Senator A.-D. Thomas
was elected on a -repeal plank,
and that Senator King and form
er .Governor Dernw. no secretary
of war, were advocating-repeal.
The votes of only three of the
states which ballot today are
needed to wipe out the eighteenth
f amendment. In the 33 which have
voted, the result has been 11,
329,190 for repeal and 3,735,657
against.
The New York mayoral elec
tion is -regarded as hating impli
cations of importance to the ad
ministration. The White House
has consistently maintained an
Altitude of "hands off but the
democratic generalislmo. Post
master General Parley, has an
nounced his support of Joseph V.
McKee, who said in a speech re
cently "a vote for McKee Is a
vote for Roosevelt, -
Farley's interest Is said to be
primarily not the Immediate out
come of the election, but the en
suing situation which would In
volve control of the political ma
chinery of New York city.

Only 19 Head of Cattle Get
To Sioux City by Truck;
Troops are Asked
MERIDEN, Iowa, Nov. 6. (ff)
An Illinois Central railroad bridge
was flaming tonight between here
and Cleghorn, presumably fired by
pickets, authorities said.
Officials at the dispatcher's of
fice of the railroad at Cherokee
said the bridge was destroyed and
that a repair train had already
been sent out with equipment and
men.
They said that the structure was
one of the main line spans and
that regular Illinois Central traf;

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Nov. 6. (JP)
The burning of a railway bridge
and the shooting at a freight train
in the midst of Iowa's farm strife
brought an urgent appeal for na
tional guard troops tonight.
Only 19 bead of cattle, from
farms Just outside the city lim
its, reached the Sioux City mar-,
ket today by truck. There were
other arrivals by rail.
Milo Reno, leader of the strike,
urged his followers "to strike with
all the power we possess."
Pickets on the highways were
In a threatening mood. A Sioux
City newspaperman was warned
away by brandishing clubs when
he sought to drive through the
lines.
Sheriff Tice of Sioux City and
Sheriff Ralph Rippey of Le Mars
attributed the bridge burning to
pickets.
At Le Mars, Sheriff Rippey had
the courthouse under guard. He
was warned anonymously by tele
phone that pickets would Invade
the town to retrieve flares taken
from them by the sheriff and
would "take care of the court
house at the same time."
The bridge, on the Northwest
ern railway six miles north of
Sioux City, was fired shortly after
pickets Bought to stop a freight
train there. As the train passed
en across the bridge, a bullet shat
tered a window of the caboose.
The bridge site is near James,
scene of a dozen battles between
strikers and truckers within the
last year. The Le Mars courthouse,
under guard, last April was the
scene of the abduction of a dis
trict court Judge, who was drag
ged into the country and beaten
by farmers after an argument
over mortgage foreclosure actions.
Mayor W. D. Hayes of Sioux
City appealed for a "full regi
ment" of troops today, after a
conference with Sheriffs Tice and
Rippey, a" federal department of
Justice agent and a representative
of the state bureau of criminal
investigation.

At Washington Avers
AldermajiJD'Hara
- . 1 :.. .
Salem's city council unanimous
ly declared Itself Monday .night in
favor of Immediate application to
the pWA or other federal bodies
for a $950,000 loan with which to,
buy the Oregon-Washington Water
company's plant here. In event a
favorable deal cannot be obtain
ed, the city wishes the federal gov
ernment to loan the money to
build a competing plant In this
city.
The loan to "be applied for
would be secured by the city's
general obligation bonds. It would
be in addition to the $1,500,000
allocation already made to Salem
for the construction of an addi
tion to the present water system.
The latter advance would be 30
per cent grant and 70 per cent
loan.
Aldermen Hughes, Need ham
and O'Hara all spoke strongly for
the resolution.
Chris J. Kowitz, city attorney,
said he thought there was a
chance PWA would make the ad
vance since he had read a Wash
ington dispatch which declared a
Colorado city bad secured federal
loan funds for a similar purpose.
Alderman O'Hara declared rep
resentatives of the water company
had been busy at Washington. He
inferred they had thus far tied up
the city's chance to get federal
funds to purchase the plant here.
He also averred the Chase Na
tional bank, interested in Btock
of the local water company, was
adverse to purchase of the plant
by the city and thus was doing
its part to block a loan to the city.
O'Hara said he thought the fed
eral government should trust Sa
lem enough to advance the money
for purchasing the water plant. He
pointed out that the Coulee dam
project and the Bonneville con
struction had been authorized be
fore the government secured any
assurance whatever that the power
there developed would be used.
