POLITICAL PROPHETS
ARE KEEPING QUIET
TILL RETURNS ARE IN
PROSPECTS FOR A CLOSE VOTE
AT PRIMARY ELECTION
With Ten to Be Selected, It's Hard to
Guess Who Will Be Eliminated
Good Vole W ill Be t'ast.
i' '
These be hard days for the political
lopesters. Ordinarily, shortly before
election day and continuing until the
last ballot has been counted and the
results tabulated, some prophet can
be found at any street coiner telling
just which candidates are due to get
the approval of the voters, and which
ones are due to pet the irate.
The new plan, however, has bewild
ered the prognosticators. With nine
teen candidates, and ten of them to be
selected, there isn't any easy way of
picking the winners. About the only
method that is at .all satisfactory is
the elimination route, but after about
five have been shucked out as hopeless,
there are still others to be scratched.
There seems to be no other way than
to wait for the returns, which will
. probably be late in coming in.
The Herald office has conducted a
sort of a guessing contest the past
two or three days. A number of men
nave marked their guesses for the ten
to survive the primary and the five to
pass the acid test of the city election.
These ballots been marked with the
name of the man who made the guess,
and carefully filed for future refer
ence. If, when the figures are totaled,
any one of them is" at least 80 per
cent correct, he shall receive due
credit.
The campaign, which has been com
paratively mild, began to take on signs
of life Monday, the day before elec-
iion. several o me canciiuatcs, and
about advertising matter. Up until
Monday, the T. P. A.'s who are boost-
n tm . . i . :
jng Si Thompson pretty hard, were the ,
only ones who had done any advertis-.
in. Judging from the amount of cam-
paign literature which was printed
lijonuay antnouay. tne streets Will DC.
flooded by nightfall.
No Mud-Slinging.
The campaign posters, however, are
not the sort that usually appear in
city elections. It is possible that some
of them may have been overlooked,
but to date not one has . shown up
which does any more than urge the
merits of some particular candidate.
The ordinary procedure is to get out
slates of one sort and another, and
then use the advertising appropriation
to knock all the other candidates. The
list this time,-however, is of such a
"hio-h nrHor that thr- UrTt ntnrii nrtr.

been a considerable amount of inter-1
est in the outcome, and the vote at
of the voters would find their way to j
the polls. The women vote will not
come out until the middle of the after
noon . The railroaders, too, have a
habit of casting their ballots after they
get through work.
A number of the candidates are
fairly certain to show considerable
strength. It is conceded that S. W. I
Thompson will draw a big vote, and
some people are of the opinion that he
will lead the field. The two soldier
candidates, D. C. Bradbury and W. L.
O'Keefe, are alsq expeted to score
heavily when the votes are counted, as
is F. W. Hayes, whose candidacy was
sponsored by the volunteti firemen.
The fire boys are hard workers and
they have a habit of making their in
fluence felt in the elections.
J. B. Irwin is believed by many to be
one of the men who will draw a big
vote. He is especially favored by the
railroaders. A. V. Gavin and Harvey
Hacker are also favored by the same
element, and unless there is a disposi
tion on the part of the railroad men to
concentarte on one candidate, should
stand a show to remain in the election
finals. R. M. Hampton, C. A. New
berry and F. W. Harris also have a big
number of supporters.
One of the surprises of today's elec
tion may be the strength shown by G.
W. Nation. Mr. Nation's candidacy
hasn't been taken any too seriously by
some of the dopesters, but it is said
that he has atremendous following in
East and South Alliance, because the
prmeipal plank in his platform con
cerns that prime nuisance, the septic
tank. It is not at all improbable that
he may show up yith a good vote to
his credit.
Figures From the Wards,
At 2 o'clock this afternoon, 170 votes
had been cast in the four wards of the
city. The women, who seldom mark
their ballots till afternoon, had cast
only a sixth of the total number, but
they were just beginning to come in.
Twenty-four votes had been cast at
2 p. m. in the First ward; Second ward,
41 men, lu women; mini waru, .)
men, 5 women; Fourth ward, 29 men,
10 women.
The polHng places are: First ward,
Central school; Second ward, city hall;
Third ward, city library; Fourth ward,
Episcopal parish house.
George D. Darling returned Satur
day from spending "market week" at
Omaha, where he purchased a supply
of new spring goods.
Shumway .ait
Against Warrick
Was Dismissed
G. L. Shumvav's su;t againi-t S. K.
Warrick for $100,000 for alleged slan
deious statements made in connection
with the fight before the state bank
ing board against Shumway's proposed
state bank in Scottbluli was dis
missed Monday morning b yDistrkt
Judge Westover.
The court held that Shumway had no
cause of action, sustaining the demur
rer filed by Warrick in the suit. If
was Maintained by the defendant, and
the court upheld the contention, that
statements made before the state
banking boartl were privileged. Even
if the allegat'ons in the plaintiff's peti
tion were true, the court said, there
would still have been no vcause of
action.
The dismissal of the suit ends the
various tangles that arose over Shum
way's efforts to secure a charter for a
bank here, denied by the state banking
board.
W. L. O'Keefe of Alliance left for
Goring yesterday afternoon to testify
in the case.
George M. Carey,, secretary of the
Alliance chamber of commerce, left
yesterday afternoo nfor Gering, where
he was scheduled to addiessrthe newly
organized Lions club in the evening.
Rev. A. J. Kearns
Talks to Business Men
- on "Americanism"
At the Monday noon luncheon of
the chamber of commerce, the mem
bers were invited to bring with them
one of their employes, but only a com
paratively small number availed them
selves of the privilege, due either to
the expense of the dinner
or to the
natural shyness of employes. Some
forty-odd business men turned out,
nun vivti wi. kunni ni acinic rwiin.-
w i n,., ,,,,01 t, w.
of tlie meeting was a brief address by
the Tev. A. J. Kearns, who took for
', subject "Americanism."
Mr. Kearns snoke of the neresK!tv
of defining Americanism as a spirit
which should have an active force in
all the alfairs of our commercial, in
dustrial and political life, rather than
a mere slogan on a banner in a pa
rade. The speaker pointed out cer
tain elements of overemphasized class
consciousness which had produced
economic situations wholly un-American
and of a selfish characted. He
cited the fact that the -wheat growers
": wiuw canwi upun
th,e K" in five states to hold
for a P'Ice of 3 P.er bushel,
'which was in effect a conspiracy in re-
traint of trade. Another instance of
the same nature concerned the cotton
growers. These co-operative organi
zat:ns- he said appealing to class
consciousness haye practically nulli-
cause of the nature of their organiza
tions, cannot be held accountable,
AH such emphasis of class con
sciousness, he said, develops the the
ory that society is but an arena, in
which competing classes shall strug
gle to the death for supremacy
Russia is now in the grasp of the dis
ciples of this theory. Nowhere is such
a theory more out of harmpny with
the constitutional processes of gov
ernment than in the United States.
Class consciousness has been the dis
turbing element in our national life,
Mr. Kearns declared, and the question
is how far can such stratification of
a democracy continue and remain true
to the constitutional processes which
we have set up as the basis of gov
ernment.
The speaker presented the need of
legitimate organization, but declared
that there should be a spirit of loy
alty to American institutions which
would bind every class together for
the best interests of the' common
wealth. He quoted President Taft" in
a recent statement that it is useless
for the aroused class consciousness of
capital to seek to break organized
labor. It cannot be broken and ought
not to be broken. An industrial de
mocracy was pointed out as, a process
not only American, but th,only one
in which there is hope of giving the
country a thoroughgoing industrial
peace. He urged that American prob
lems be met in an American way.
Mr. Kearns touched upon the Amer
ican Sabbath as a fundamental Amer
ican institution that had proved itself
a bulwark of our national life. In a
democracy, wherever man is a sov
ereign, it is desirable that an institu
tion which has contributed so largely
to the integrity and character of the
plain man should be preserved as a
truly American institution. He point
ed out that the American Sabbath had
been a bulwark and likened it to the
great sea wall that has been built as
a protection to the harbor and port
I of Galveston. If any enterprise should
say to the citizens of Galveston, "We
propose to build a great edifice if you
will let us tear down the great wall
to get materials," no matter how le
gitimate the work might be, it would
be folly for the city to consent to the
destruction of it chief defense. The
Christian Sabbath has, been such a
bulwark, the speaker said, and no
commercial enterprise, no matter how
legitimate, snouni ie uuoweu 10 uu'.ni
itself up through the destruction tf
this truly American institution.

Sniith-IIainon Trial
WAGONER, Okla., March 0. When
Mrs. Thomas and the writer left Alli
ance a month ago yesterday we ex
pected to have reached our southern
objective Houston, Tex., by this time,
but we, have found fo much to delay
us and our stay in Wagoner has been
-o much longer than we expected
ubout two weeks, that we are still 700
miles or so from Houston, although
we expect to reach there early next
week.
Starting from Lincoln the afternoon
of February 19, we have journeyed
somewhat leisurely by auto through
southeastern Nebraska, eastern Kan
sas and western Missouri, and tie
leaving Wagoner tomorrow morning
for the continuation of our trip on I
south, going to Muskogee, Tulsa and
Marietta, Oklahoma, and then south to
Houston, w ith perhaps time for a short
run down to Galveston. I
We have found the roads excellent!
so tar and have had no car trouble.
It rains here in this part of the south!
to "beat the band' but the roads are
n good shape on the main highways
shortly after a ram. We arrived here
just a few days after the country had
had twelve inches of snow the only
snow this winter, and the natives are
talking about it yet, although the fruit
trees are all in bloom the farmers have
most of the'r spring crops planted, and
the weather is balmy and summeiiike
to us.
Our first cottonficlds appeared just
north of Wagoner. ' Many of the fields
were unpicked last summer and fall
and the cows are now turned loose, in
the cottonfields to help themselves.
The growers claim that with the pres
ent low price of cotton it don't pay to
crin it. Many of them are turning
their agricultural efforts towards other
crops and many of them have good
oil royalties coming in regularly from
their oil or gas wells and it don't make
so much difference to them just whit
the price of cotton is.
A rhort distance above loia. Kan
sas, we entered the shallow oil belt and
folloieil it down here most of the
way. Wagoner county is studded with
oil wells and drilling rigs. Mot of the
350 shallow wells in the county aver
age only from 2."i0 to 1250 ieet in
depth, with production of from 5 to
;0 barrels or a good grade or oil. iew
wells are brought in every few days
but thev occasion no excitement and
but little attention seems to be paid
to an event that if it happened near
Alliance would make us Allianceites
"sit up and take notice."
We expect to travel through some
of the famous deep oil pools before
we return to Alliance, in central
Oklahoma and Texas, with a visit to
the new fields around Houston.

Thieves Steal Car
of Ray A. Tompkins
on Sunday Evening
After several months of comparative
inactivity, the auto thieves got on the
job in Alliance Sunday evening. The
five-passenger Allen touring car used
by Ray A. Ihompkins in his auto liv
ery business was taken from a private
garage, 112 Yell6wstone, some time
after 10 o'clock on that evening.
Mrs. Celia Weaver, who lives at that
address, "reported, that she had seen
two strangers in the vicity of the
garage on the evening before. She
only caught a glimpse of them and
was unable to furnish a description.
The garage was not locked at the
time of the theft, but the automobile
was. although any key to an .Allen
automobile would open it. The theft
was reported to the police early Mon
day morning, and a complete descrip
tion jbt the car has been sent to the
oolice officers 'in nearby cities and
towns. The car was not new, and
there are a number of peculiarities
which will make identification com
paratively easy.
The car is described as follow:
Blue-black with yellow wheels; factory
number 50,985; motor number 60906;
equipped all around with Miller 32x4
tires; state license number 61318. At
time of loss, metal sign reading "Auto
Livery, Phone 57," was suspended be
tween top and bottom windshields.
The wiring to the tail light had recent
ly been removed from the cable, taped
and run along the frame.
The car was insured against theft
with the W. L. O'Keefe insurance
agency.
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Lucas will start
today for an automobile trip to Gil
lette, W yo., whre Mr. I ucas has a
homestead of 320 acres. They will be
away several days.
The doughboys look with amazement
'on the "plucked" officers suing to get
back into the army.
This seems to be a bad winter for
the weather prophets.
OF BACCHUS -
HOLD THEIR FIRST
AND ONLY MEETING
DDOZE ( LI II COMES TO A MOST
PAlNFl'L EM)
Treasurer of Youths' Society Nicked
tor a Heavy Fine Intoxicated
Lad Gets Thirty Days.
The Suns of Bacchus are no moie.
Their fir.t meeting was at one and the
same time a brilliant success ami a
painful failure, all depending on how
you lonk at it. The Sons achieved the
primary object of their organization,
out they got into trouble with- the
police, not only the city, but the
county. Alliance is admitted to be
one of the most favored places for
clubs of one sort and nnotheron the
face of the globe but the fifteen lads
who organized theSons of Bacchus
can't be made to believe si word of it.
The story of the Sons of Bacchus
reads like fiction.. Unfortunately, it
isn't. It seems, from the evidence
gathered by the county attorney, that
fifteen lads, a week or so ago, gathered
together and organized a society.
There was no constitution by-laws, but
there was a treasurer and thereby
hangs a tale.
The object of this association of
youths, some of whom were of high
school age and none of whom had
reached tventy-.one, was, so some of
the members admitted, for the purpose
of recuring and drinking intoxicating
liiiuor-; of one sort and another any
thing, soiong as it had the "wallop.
The dues, cash in advance, were $2..'0
per member. Whether this sum wa
weekly, monthly or yearly dues, or
simply a preliminary membership fee,
is not known, but it was all in the
hands of the treasurer. The total
funds amounted, therefore, to $37.50.
Two or three other youths wanted to
affiliate with the organization, but the
raMi-in-advance rule was strictly ad
hered to.
' Many Names Considered.
There was some discussion as to
what name should be given the society.
The favorite was the Sons of Bacchus,
it being argued that this was not only
a beautiful name, and euphonious, but
that it fit the club like a glove. Some
of the members, it was learned favored
the Night Owls; other thought the
Son of Rest was an appropriate title.
No 'decision was ever made, but the
Sons of Bacchus was the most favored
and the majority of the boys referred
to it in this way.
Just what ceremonies the initiates
went through will never be known. It
is thought that .there was a terrible
oath, maybe an obligation signed in
blood, for all the world like the famous
gang of robbers formed by Huckle
berry Finn and Tom Sawyer. One ot j
tne obligations was that no matter
what happened, they would stand by
each other. This is always a part of
the obligation in such cases.
The scene changes to the evening of
Friday, March 11. The Dirty Dozen,
or the Sons of Bachus, met for their
first official session, thirteen of the
fifteen being present The president
was there; so, unfortunately for him,
was the treasurer. It was decided to
take a trip to Hemingford to a dance.
Then came up the question of liquid
refreshments. The treasurer had the
club funds in his jeans. He withdrew
$25, gave it to another member, who
gave it to a brakeman who gave it to
a bootlegger, and within half an hour
the Sons of Bacchus had in their pos-
, session a gallon jug of the vilest smell
ing noocn tnai nas ever open uncoined
in the office of Sheriff Miller or any
where else. Three drops of it would
kill a jaybird; a wineglass full of it
would poison a dog.
Covered With Corncobs.
The thirteen Sons of Bacchus loaded
into the three cars and headed for
Hemingford. At the edge of town they
stopped, gathered about in a circle,
oerformed certain mystic rites, un
corked the jug and passed it around,
At "Berea the performance was re
peated. In the car driven by Ralph
Watteyne, the treasurer ,the jug may
have Dassed about a bit between
drinks, for on arrival at Hemingford
one of the occupants, Meredith Brad
ev was stewed. His friends, tearing
detection, covered him up with corn
cobs and started in to enjoy life.
Sheriff Miller was notified shortly
thereafter, and the next morning
young Bradley was taken into custody
and a charge of intoxication placed
a gainst him in county court. Other
members of the Sons of Bacchus were
called by County Attorney Basye to
testify under oath, and one by one, acr
comnanied by fathers or treading the
hallways alone, they came, borne ot
them entered the office hardboiled and
defiant, and remained to weaken.
As mentioned before, no one knows
just how binding the oath of the Sons
of Bacchus was, but it took very little
urgument to convince over half of the
youths that there was no honor in pro
tectine a bootlegger who peddled I.
rank a poison as the hooch they had
bought. Treasurer Watteyne held out
for a time until he learned that some
of the others had spilled the beans
He was held, charged with three
counts, the purchasing of intoxicating
liquor, having it illegally in his pos
ession in a place other than his
welling, and transporting the same,
I he fineon these three counts agi
gated $3(0, and under the last count
his Flupmobile might have been .'n
fiscatcd. In county court, Judge Tash soon
disposed of the two cases. Ilri.lley
pleaded guilty and drew a thiitr-day
jail sentence. Watteyne Monday iti'tei
noon also pleaded guilty to the firt
two counts, and was fined $200 and
given a thirty-day jail sentence. The
latter, however, was suspended during
good behav'or. Although the Taw is
so worded that his automobile niilit
have been confiscated, County Attnr
ney Basye thought the other punish
ment sufficient, and withdrew the la.-t
charge.
Thus, the Sons of Bacchus, organiza
t'on was brought to an untimely end.
It's fir.t session was its last, and from
the trend of talk among the members,
it will never be reorganized.
A meeting of the Business Woman's
club was held last evening in the office
of the chamber of commerce. The first
part of the evening was devoted to
business and the following officers
were elected. President, Maude
Spacht; vice president, Opal Russell;
secretary-treasurer, Avis Joder. Vari
ous other items of business were dis
cussed, after which followed a social
hour when the members-got acquaint
ed. Light refreshments were served.
The next meeting will be a luncheon,
to be held the first Thursday in April.
Fifty girls were in attendance..
"Restaurant Prices Cut Slightly,"
says a headline. It is thought the pa
tient will survive the injury.
Alliance Baseball
Association Formed
Last Saturday Eve
The Alliance Baseball association is
the name given to an , association
formed at a public meeting held at the
chamber of commerce rooms last Sat
urday evening. The meeting was
called by Secretary Carey and all base
ball enthusiasts were invited to attend.
Some fifteen or twenty responded to
the invitation.
Dr. G. J. Hand whs selected as tem
porary chairman, George M. Carey,
secretary and Fred Hayes, treasurer.
Pluns for financing a baseball team
were discussed by! BiJIy Wpod, R. A.
McCormick, Dr. Hind ami others.. Mr.
McCormick's suggestion that an asso
ciation be formed, with monthly mem
bership dues as well as .an initiation
fee, in order to keep up a year-round
interest in the national game, was
adopted. The membership fee was
set at $15, and the monthly dues at $1.
A membership committee of- -nine
was chosen to interview merchants and
others and the attempt will lie made
to secure a hundred members for the
association. A. H. Harper. Billy Wood,
R. A. McCormick. W. R. Harper. A. G.
Isaacson. John W. Guthrie, Ed. Mc-
Nulty George Nation and Mr. Feltrs.
During the discussion, attention was
irected to the need for a downtown
hall nark. At oresent. the games are
played at the fair grounds, wnicn is
declared to be not only too lar oui
but so arranged that the spectators
n the grandstand have a hard time
watching the game. It has been sug
gested that the committee get in touch
with the owners of the ground where
the old fair grounds were located, with
a view to leasing them and ereefng a
o-vsinilstnnd and fixinz ud a real ban
park. Most of the men piesent at the
meeting were of the opm:on that the
project could be put across.

LITTLE JI0PI5 HELD
FOR A RENEWAL OF
POTASH INDUSTRY
INVESTORS STAND TO LOSE A
(It EAT DEAL ()V MONEY
nly Hope Lies in Discovering Ways '
lo Recover Other Chemicals
From Lake Water
Three years ago the production of
potash from the alkali lakes in the sand
hill regions loomed up as the coming
industry of Nebraska. Millions of dol
lars were invested, and in a few in-
tances investors made comfortable
fortunes by selling out before th
crash came. For the most part, how
ever, investors stand to loso a great
deal or money, says an Associated
Press correspondence in the Piatt
Valley Daily News.
Less than three years ago there
were a dozen or more comnanics en
gaged in the production ami refining of
potash in the state. AH but two of
these companies are now closed. Fof
the most part the closing down of
those plants was brought about by the
companies going bankrupt. The two
exceptions are not producing potash
for commercial purposes, but are; en
gaged in experimental work.
Du' ing the early days of the potash
boom in Nebraska the product had a
ready market in the United States ut
$125 a ton. During the year follow-
ng the fall of 1917, production of pot
ash from the plants in this stat
amounted to approximately 1,700 tons
lailv.
Thousands of tons of potash pro-
luced in Nebraska are in storagrnear
the great fertilizer manufacturing
plants of the east and south. Producers
soon after the signing. of the armistice
efused to sell their product for less
than $125 per ton and dealers refused,
to buy it at that figure. Since then
the price of potash has fallen steadily.
I' ai mers of the south and elsewhere
are said to be without money to pur
chase fertilizer and manufacturers.
therefore, are not buying potash at
any price.
Reports from 1 urope that the pot
ash mines of Alsace, now under
French control, have resumed opera
tion also tend3 to throw cold water on.
any immediate prospects for a resumn
tion of production in Nebraska. The
potash from these mines can be Im
ported to the United States much .
cheaper than it can lie produced here ,
by the present process. lie fore the
war, Germany , was exporting potash
to this country and selling it at about
$12 a ton. The cost of manufacturing
potash in Nebraska plants was esti-
mated at approximately $30 a ton.
Solids obtained from, the brine evap
orated from the lakes of Nebraska con
tained approximately 25 per cent pot
ash. The remaining 7o per cent of
solids contains soda and other chem
icals of commercial vaiue. Chemists
are now engaged in finding a working
process for the recovery ot these byproducts.-
If this problem is solved,
the reduction of brine for potash vilK
become secondary.

first men to appreciate the possibi,;
ties of the alkali lakes, is one of the
experts engaged in trying to find a

Knights of Columbus
Pian to Give Their
Fourth Degree Here
Alliance Knights of Columbus re
making extensive plans for conferring
the fourth, or pavtiotic degree, upon
a large class of candidates, in the near
future. The rules of the jpciety pro
vide that the ceremonies must take
place upon a day recognized as a na
t onal holiday. It requires a special
dispensation and a class of at least a
hundred candidates, and both of these
will be secured. District Judge Geor?e
F. Corcoran of York, master of the
fourth degree for Nebraska, will have
charge of the ceremonies, and Federal
Judge Martin K. Wade ot Iowa City
is to be one of the distinguished
guests. Visitors from Nebraska, Wy
oming, South Dakota and other states
will be in attendance for the cere
monies, banquet and dance. Commit
tees in charge of the affair will he
