The editorials are in- spired by the decision of the council 13s people's commissars to retiuce to a minimum purchases in any country |which “places obstructions to soviet | imports.” While the editorials and the com- missars’ decision do not mention the United States, there is said to be little doubt that the warning is intended Hage tad for America. Isvestia says: responsive measure of the soviet government must force the| hi jauthors and supporters of the so- jcalled ‘soviet dumping’ cry, who have ‘not yet completely forgotten the A- B-Os of world economic relations, to | think over the results of their blind hatred toward the soviet union. “The cry about soviet dumping is an organized machination of limited capitalistic circles who continue, un- der a new form, to prepare public opinion for war against the soviets. “The capitalistic circles themselves know the dumping outcry is nothing but a myth. All capitalistic trusts, combines and concerns dump their goods on world markets. “The attempt to accuse the soviet of trying to aggravate a crisis which has embraced. most countries, by means of dumping its goods, is mere idiocy on the part of its initiators. “We force our exports in order to obtain articles for carrying out our industrialization plan. The religious crusade against the soviet having failed, capitalistic speculators are taking another chance at inciting the peasants in their countries t 'B |of soviet dumping. “The refusal of the soviet govern- |ment to purchase in countries which obstruct our export will serve to prove to the laborers of these countries that the speculators and military adven- turers not only raise the cost of their bread but also deprive them of work. “The decision of the council shows the soviet government does not intend to remain a passive observer of the campaign abroad directed against the interests of the workers and peasants in soviet Russia.” Evidence Indicates Murder of Illinoisan Jackson, Minn., Oct. 21—(4)—Jack- son county officials, seeking to deter- mine how Martin Johnson, 55.

TOO MANY ISSUES CLOUD POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IN OHIO Wet and Dry Fight Is Uppermost but Neither Party Is United on Question Columbus, O., Oct. 21.—(7)—An over-abundance of issues, led by the wet and dry question and simmering down to prosperity, the tariff and sundry other public problems, has marked the present hot political cam- paign in Ohio. Never before in the history of the state have the Buck- eye electors been called upon to face such a scrambled political situation, with both the Republicans and Dem- ocrats involved. within their own tanks on the prohibition issue. The major fight is a clean cut wet and dry battle, with United States Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch, Re- publican incumbent, who seeks to re- tain his seat, espousing the dry cause. His opponent, Robert J. Buckley, Democrat, of Cleveland, is campaign- ing on @ repeal of the eighteenth amendment platform. Buckley is an attorney and a former Ohio con- @fessman, Governor Myers ‘Y. Cooper, Cin- cinnati, Republican, seeking reelec- tion, is a supporter of the dry laws. George White, Marietta banker, Democrat, who opposes Cooper, also is known as a dry ‘law advocate. He centered his attack on the Cooper administration. The wet and dry issue in Ohio is summed up in this manner: Both leading Republican candidates dry, but a faction within the party ranks wet. The Democratic senatorial candi- date wet; the gubernatorial candidate The campaign brought many lead- ing public figures into Ohio, includ- ing President Hoover and Vice Presi- dent Curtis. It brought several lead- ing Democratic figures out of re- tirement, including former Governor James M. Cox, of Dayton, the Dem- ccratic presidential candidate against Harding, and former Governor Vic Donahey. Cox threw a wet bomb- shell as the campaign opened when, during a Democratic victory dinner in Columbus, he advocated repeal of the eighteenth amendment, claiming that only in this way would the coun- try solve the question of racketeer- ing, gang murders and general law- lessness. Claiming that every pre-election Pledge had been kept, the Republi- can orators asked for votes of en- dorsement for Hoover and Cooper. The Democrats charged the Hoover administration with responsibility for Present economic conditions. Other candidates on the state tickets have followed the leaders throughout the campaign, stressing pee issues put forth by the party cap- In addition to a senator, governor and complete state ticket, voters of Ohio will name 22 congressmen and an entire state legislature on Nov. 4. Many of the congressional contests are being fought on the Wet and dry issue.

The others made no expression on the prohibi- tion laws.

It is inpomitie to communicate with those still alive because telephone communication has been cut. But we are sure suffi- cient air is being pumped down to them and therefore believe the chances are good that most of them are alive.” It now appears there were three explosions. The first was a gas ex- Plosion underground which caused dynamite stores to blow up in one of the shafts. This in turn caused the explosion of petrol tanks in a build- ing on the su-face. The victims were buried in the wreckage spread by the blast through two levels 1,200 and 1,500 feet below the surface. Among the victims were two office workers killed when build- ings above ground collapsed.

Their information was that forces organized recently in Cuyaba by Col- onel Lima Silva, to defend the federal government, revolted and their com- mander, Major Ravello, assumed presidency of the state. Colonel Lima Silva, who was chief of all federal forces in the state with headquarters at Campo Grande, fled to the Bolivian frontier with the seventeenth battalion of Cazadores or Scouts, thus avoiding an encounter with a strong revolutionary column advancing on Campo Grande. Matto Grosso is one of the large inland states of Brazil, somewhat re- moved from the principal theater of fighting. Insurgent forces there might aid in subjugation of Loyal Goyaz but would hardly be of much use along the Sao Paulo-Parana frontier where the major engage- ments of the war, it seems, will be fought. Rain is hampering military opera- tions all along the coast. The only information available here is that ac- tivity continues and that further “ad- vances” have taken place. ‘Towns Are Bombarded Federal gunboats at Flori: bombarded the villages of San Jose and Palhocas across the channel on the coasts.
