LATEST RETURNS
REDUCE LEAD OF
LYNNJ. FRAZIER
Majority For Nonpartisan Candidate
In North Dakota Estimated
at Less Than 10,000.
Fargo. X. D.. June 30. Belated
reports that trickled : in from Wed
nesday's state-wide primary in North
Dakota seemed to bear out early in
dications that Lynn J. Frazier, Non
partisan, had captured the senator
ial nomination by a majority of less
than 10.000.
While Porter J. McCumber, the
state's senior senator, dropped, be
hind Frazier.in returns tabulated.to
day, reports from some of the scat
tered precincts favorable to McCum
ber tonight cut down to less than
2,000 the margin that separated
them.
Friends of McCumber here, con
ceding his defeat, admitted that most
of the missing precincts undoubted
ly would be favorable to Frazier,
but Insisted the latter's plurality
would fall considerably short of the
15,000 to 20,000 mark league head
quarters have forcast.
Meanwhile Governor R. A. Nestos
independent, had a lead of IS, 000
over B. F. Baker, Nonpartisan, in
the republican gubernatorial contest,
independent headquarters declared
tonight. There seemed no reason to
alter its prediction of a 10,000 plur
ality for Nestos.
In 1,741 of the state's 2,064 pre
cincts tabulated in the senatorial
race, Frazier had 76,398 and Mc
Cumber 74,962, a gain for McCum
ber over the last previous totals, due
largely to the "mopping up" of pre
cincts in nearby territory, known to
be favorable to the senator.
Mrs. Sherman Cole and child of
Wymore, Nebraska, arrived here this
afternoon for a visit at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Mc
Maken, called here by the illness of
the little daughter of Ray McMaken
and wife.
Journal want ads pay. Try them.
Plattsmouth people who stay at
home this Fourth of July will have
plenty of opportunity of enjoying
themselves at the celebration and
picnic being arranged by the K. S.
Although the event proper will last
three days, the main portion of the
program is arranged for Tuesday,
and will include a parade, various
sports, a picnic dinner, a dance and
fireworks display as well as a patriot
ic address by Judge Begley, numerous
other addresses and a turning ex
hibition. Music will be furnished all day by
the Eiks band of this city.
In addition to dinner served at the
K. S. hall, refreshments of all kinds
will be on sale on the grounds thru
out the day and evening.
The generosity of Plattsmouth
merchants in furnishing the Elks
band for the day, has precluded the
necessity of charging admission to
the K. S. park as was first intended,
and accordingly young and old will
be admitted free.
. The three day program of events
starts tomorrow and will continue
until the last of the fireworks display
is touched off late Tuesday night.
Certainly there is no need of our
people journeying elsewhere to cele
brate the 4th, with such a splendid
program arranged for right in our
midst.
HAVE YOU DONE
ANYTHING ABOUT
THE TARIFF?
Tax on Wool Imports Will lay a
Heavy Burden on Consumers
If Allowed to Pass.
Andrew P. Moran, who is a candi
date for the republican nomination
for state senator, was here today for
a few hours looking after business
matters and meeting his many
friends.

All the colors of fashion's rainbow are represented in this wonderful sale.
There has been a great deal of dis
cussion in newspapers recently con
cerning the new tariff on wool.
One result of this proposed bill (it
has not yet passed the cenate) has
been to increase the prices of woolen
fabrics at the mills, in some cases as
much at $1 a yard.
Should the bill become a law it
will increase the prices of men's
suits and overcoats from $3 to $5
each. Women's and children's wear
will also advance in price.
We believe that wool "growers are
entitled to a tariff which will enable
them to make a fair profit on their
product; but careful study of statis
tics reveals the fact that the rate of
33 cents a pound on the scoured con
tent, as provided in this tariff bill, is
considerably higher than is necessary
to accomplish the desired result,
namely adequate protection for the
American wool grower.
We imported 375 million pounds
of. wool in 1921, while we produced
but 275 million pounds. At the same
rate the proposed tariff of 33 cents a
pound will add approximately 360
million dollars to the cost of woolen
clothing. But only 45 million dollars
of this sum will be received by Amer
ican growers in increased prices for
their wool.
In our opinion the proposed tar
iff bill should not be passed in its
present form simply because it works
a hardship on the majority of the
American people.
Let's have an equitable tariff.
Write or wire your congressman
and senator at once; they are your
representatives and will be glad to
have your views.
Prices of all woolen already are
going up in mere anticipation of the
proposed new tariff.
Advances of from 20 cents to $1 a
yard have been posted at the mills
in the last week or so; further ad
vances are in prospect.
All this means higher prices for
clothes men's suits and overcoats,
women's dresses and coats, and boys'
clothes.
And the people -of this country
think clothes prices are high enough
now. They've been fighting for low
er prices by staying out of the mar
ket doing without clothes in short
by not dressing as well as they for
merly did.
. The tariff bill which has been
passed by the house and is now be
fore the senate levies a duty of 33
cents a pound on cleaned wool. This
is about twice as high, as the duty
levied by the old Payne-Aldrich tar
iff, and being based on so much a
pound, boosts prices of clothes for
the poor man just as much as it
raises prices of the rich man's line
clothes.
It has been calculated that the
proposed tariff on wool will add from
53 to $5 to the cost of every man's
suit or overcoat; proportionate sums
to the cost of clothes for women and
children a total of $350,000,000 to
the country's annual clothing bill
just at a time when the whole coun
try feels that the. present clothing
bill is too high.
Clothing merchants and manufac
turers have been doing everything in
their power to bring prices down;
have reduced them very greatly from
the peak of a year and a half ago.
They don't want to see prices go up
again; workingmen don't, farmers
don't; no one does.
And yet congress seems to be about
to levy a duty which will put clothes
prices up.
This isn't a matter of politics, it's
a- matter 6 fthe cost of living im
portant to every man. If congress can
be induced to look at it in that' light
it may see that 33 cents a pound is
too much protection on wool. It can
be revised downward and still give
protection without being such a
hardship on the whole country.1

FORMER GOVERNOR
SAYS NO TIME FOR
A DEBATE NOW
John H. Morehead Replies to Chal
lenge of A. L. Tidd for Argu
ment of Public Issues.
Former Governor John H. More
head of Falls City, who is a candi
date for the democratic as well as
progressive nomination for congress
in the First district, has made reply
to the challenge made a few days ago
by Attorney A. L. Tidd of this city,
who is seeking the progressive nom
ination to. the national law making
body. Mr. Morehead feels that a dis
cussion of the issues at this time
when the nominees have not been
decided on would be a useless mat
ter and that the time for argument
should be when the primary is fin
ished and the candidates ready for
the race.
"I am unable to see what purpose
would be served by any joint discus
sion between any candidates before
the primary election," Mr. Morehead
states. "After the selection of candi
dates and adoption of platforms, it
may be advisable for a joint discus
sion o fissues as presented by the
different political parties."

Washington, June 30. Freight
rates throughout the United States
on practically all commodities will
be reduced tomorrow by 10 per cent
when the carriers of the country put
into effect the decision rendered last
month by the interstate commerce

New schedules incorporating the re
duction have been completed.
Agricultural commodities will be
the only important traffic which the
10 per cent will not affect, rates on
these commodities having been re
duced last January.
