AFTER THE OFFICE IS MOVED TO THE THEATRE
THE REGULAR SCALE OF VOTES WILL BE ISSUED.
On account of the closeness of the race in District No. 1
and the gr eat number of contestants that are right in - a
bunch it has been decided to add two more prizes to this
district. They will be two trips to Mborehead. "
These trips will last a week and all hotel bills and
railroad expenses will be paid by the publisher.
After all the district prizes have been awarded the two
contestants in the first district who have the next highest
number of votes will be entitLed to these trips which can
be taken at any time during the summer. '
The closeness of the race as will be apparent by looking
over the list below is remarkable and tends to prove' what
we have been saying right along that is yet it is anybody's
race and all have an even chance. 1
The winners of the prizes depend altogether en the
work that the contestants do this week. If you are a Jiu3tier
from' the start and do not stop to look around you will ' be
the successful one but the young- lady that -.sits ground
and says what she intends to do will be dissapoiiied-' ,---. -.
.. See ihat you have lined up. all your friends and et
'them to jump in and help you for this is the week that you
-need their assistance more than at any other time. ' ,
' There have been many of the contestants dropped from
the list on account of not having the required 100,000 votes
in but if at any time they turn in enough to raise their
amount to the required 100,000 their name will be again
published amon gthe contestants. .'

"FARMERS" TARIFF BILL WILL
HAVE RIGHT OF WAY THIS
WEEK IN HOUSE
REPUBLICANS OPPOSE IT
"Washington, May 1. The House
met at' 11 o'clock today and debate
was resumed on the - free list bill.
Representative Moss, of Indiana, be
bun the debate ; in favor of the bill.
Chairman Underwood hopes , to
reach o vote on Thursday or Friday.
Washington, May 1. Representa
tive Longworth followed Representa
tive Moss in the debate today. Long
worth assailed the free list bill, de
daring that the boot and shoe in
dustry vould be ruined by it.
In the Senate Newlands started a"
controversy by criticising the abolish
ment of the Committee on Expendi
tures. Senator Martin, for the minority,
declared that the responsibility for
abolishing the committee rested with
the Republicans.
Washington, May 1. Right of way
for the "farmers' free list bill" In the
House this week was provided for
Saturday when the House voted In
effect to put aside the "discharge
calendar" and. to meet an hour earlier
each , day until the bill is voted on.
The Democratic leaders did not ac
complish this step until after the Re
publicans had taunted them about
setting aside "calendar Monday," pro
vided for by coalition of- insurgent
Republicans and Democrats last Con
gress and perpetuated by the present
Congress...
No sooner had Representative Un
derwood, majority floor leader, made
a motion to recess instead of ad
journing until 11 o'clock Monday
morning than Representative Dalzell,
of the minority, made the point of
order that such a motion would inter
fere with the regular j order, and
furthermore would displace the con
sideration of the general service pen
sion bill and other bills on the "dis
charge calendar" for Monday.
"Would (the gentleman rob , the
country - of the benefit of the dis
charge calendar, wrung from an un
willing- majority in a revolution so
short a time ago?" inquired ex
Speaker Cannon.
"We believe in the discharge calen
dar," reported Representative -Under
wood, "but w are now seeking to
lower the taxes on some 92,000,000
people and we deem that more im
portant than the discharge calendar."
Mr. Dalzell withdrew his objection
to the- course mapped tout" "by , the
Democrats.
The contest of party leaders at the
close of the day had been : preceded
by. five hours' general debate on the
"farmers' free list bill." '
The final speech of the day was by
Representative Heflin, of Alabama,
who took the floor to "say something
about the Republican party." 'To. the
insurgents, whom, he said, did not
"insurge long enough, he-extended an
invitation from the Democratic party
to "come ye out from among them
and be ye separate from . them." He
described, the stand-patters as a dying
race, never going forward but always
backkward. He likened jthe "ne wna
tionalists" to a dog that smelt game,
but couldn't quite locate it." - - -v
Representative Heflin accused the
Republican "party; of pretending to be
the friend of the American laboring
man and then bringing in hundreds
of thousands of foreigners to supplant
him in' his labor. ' He referred to the
immigrants as including bomb-throwers
and anarchists that "strike at our
Western civilization, but are permit
ted to land because v the steamship
companies find their transportation a
profitable business and contribute to
the 'Republican campaign funds."
v The Alabama- Congressman ridi-
Theri McManigal and Last John &

DEFENCE SEEK DELAY
Los, Angeles, Cali., May 1. Jamei
McNamara will be thefirst placed ott

Namara last.
Attorneys for the prisoners an
nounced they would seek a delay ua
til Clarence Darrow arrived. It is Ibe
lieved that the trial will .cost $2,000
000. .
McManigal has made - a conf esslo.
and there is a kind of breathles
suspense as to what will be the next
development in what promises to be
the most sensational story of dyna
miting and deaths ever known in a
civilized country. -
New arrests are expected at sjT
moment.
The people of this city, as well aJi
the newspapers, are waiting for the
trial. With a desire to be fair to
both labor and capital they will pass
no judgment until hard and cold facts
either convict the prisoners or prove
the atrocities that have startled the,
land to be the work of fanatics. ' ,
