(By Special Leased Wire.) Washington. Sept 13. Senator Sim- - in una today issued a statement to the effoct that be bad begun a movement that ha felt sure wool J result ia the re lief of tha critical financial eituation of the farmer and butineas men in North Carolina. Tha Benator'a statement was issued from his office lata today by kia secretary, Frank A. Hampton. Tba Sea. tori today baa held eonfereneea with number of high official of too gov ernment. The critical situation aa re gards . the tobacco market ia eastern North Carolina waa considered. For the last two. weeka tha eSnator baa been seeking a way by which bo hopes the strain on tha banks will bo removed though bo aaya the matter ia sot yet ia a oatiafaetory condition. V:i Secretary Daniels waa eagerly sought by Washington newspaper men for his opinion on tha course of the campaign oa bia return from a weekY speech-making 1b Indiana and Maine and a visit to Ohio and other pivotal State. Tha Bee rotary ia one of tha strongest hustings apeak er la tba cabinet and ono of tha most accurate gangers of political senti ment wherever ha speaks. Ho baa had practical experience , ia every Demo cratic presidential campaign for the but quarter of a century and be baa only to get Into tha atmosphere of a State, county or community to learn what, the people think. V If the election were held today, be feels confident that Governor Cox would tarry both Ohio and Indiana. He .eaw many unfailing slgnt ia both State that the Democrats are now leading. He addressed great multitude of peojl whose response waa sever more enthusi astic He talked to -all aorta of aaea and women too a the train ia the hop, ia the ttreete and homes, many .of them Bepublieanay who were, heart end aaal for the League of Nation. The women will roll ap a tremendous vote for the- Democrats on this issue. With Demoerata they say they know they will get a League. With the Be publleani they do not know what they uillget. ' " ' ' Maine Not Barometer. Ia aplto of the fact that Maine ia at reliably a Bcpubliean State as Texas is reliably Democratic, ia long quarter tha fiction persist that the result of the Maine election ia November for county and 8tae officer baa some important bearing upon the - November national election. Undoubtedly if upon" na tional issuer Maine -should itofi eratle in September, it would be sig nificant. But the sice of the majority for State officer in September does not foreshadow anything aa to the Novem ber result. A aa example four yeara ago the Republican majority in Maine ai twice aa large la September as ia November. Some years local issues greatly reduce the Bepnbliraa majority. Some yeara national issue reduee it This year there were no outstanding local Issues to aid. the Democratic State ticket and the Demoerata la Maine felt that the old time Republican majority en State issues would be polled ia view of the intensive and school house dis trict campaign ( which the,. Bepublieane waged with the biggest campaign ex penditures la many years. , The vote in the Monday election doe itot indicate tha strength of the senti ment in favor of the League of Nations ; ia Maine. Secretary Daniels found many men and women, strong Republi cans, who aaid that while they would vote the Republican ticket ia Septem ber on State issues, in November they would vote for Cox and Roosevelt 8om of the ablest men 1 the State told him that, la a straight League of Nation referendum in November, Cox and Booeevelt could tarry the State on the question, unaffected by State issues, if that issue waa presented directly to all the voters of the Bute. He found that nearly everywhere tha Republicans are quietly telling the people who pay an income tax from 2,000 to $2,000,000, "vote as into the government end we will repeal this in come tax with the ether war taxea and raise the tariff to support the gove'rn ment" ! Of course, the Republicans have no notion of doing anything of the aort. It is wholly fale promise, but it ia producing some effect and must be met by the Democrats. The Republican . will not dare come out openly and make such a, proposal. They know they can sot resurrect th tariff corpse and there must be an Income tax to help defray expense of the government It is sins uly another Republican gum-ehoe trick to win vote, but the Democrats can ex plode it by giving it publicity.-' Sv It la .said in this campaign that the Demoerata have neither money nor organization. This atatement teem, to have depreesed tome Democrat, but it should not The Demoerata have as mini, anil nriranizatioa a they aver had. they have never hadauy of TO WE TOBACCO either worth apeaking of. ine epuo tana are over-orgnniaed. A great deal of the money raised by them will be spent paying the employe of their huge organisation. Two-thirdt of the Re publican money will be wasted by the organisation. ' On the other hand the few dollars thst the Demoerata are abl to scrape together will be uiaely ex pended. Blsmas Federal Reserve.,.. " C. A. Cochrane and D. n. McCulloeh, (Continued oa Page Two.)

Tea days ago th official believed, that a new Irish crisis war imminent when the prison physician reported that th Lord Mayor could not live more than 3d hours.
