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. Oh! My Dear!

Some flower and fruit adorned, others with just a dashing bow of ribbon or perhaps a jaunty feather. 7 ' 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 Judge Jesse L. Root of Omaha came down this afternoon to look after some legal matters for the Burlington for a few hours. EBEN K.

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." Three Days! Three Days!
