If President Wilson had not investigated the case in 1917, my boy surely would have been hung. The men President Wilson had look into the case found such Clear evidence of a frame-up that the Presi- dent told Gov. Stephens not to hang my son “Then Secretary of Labor Wilson made & further investigation and found even more sure evidence of the frame-up.

MINOT, N. Dak., March 5.—Prohibi- tion as a campaign issue was denounced by Gov. Willlam H. Murray of Okla- home in an address today. He is cam- paigning for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination. | “Why worry about a julep when we haven't got the money to buy one,” the governor said. ‘‘We better think sbout bread, butter, bacon and beans.” He told an audience which filled a | {_ school auditorium with seating capacity | for 1,400 persons that the President is without power to repeal the eighteenth | amendment. | He attacked the trend in develop- | ment of national credit policies, advo- cating “easier money” for the farmer | and blamed international bankers for having “given this country an un- | natural and unnecessary interest in the politics of other nations which we should keep out of at all times.” ‘Two speeches at Rugby and Devils Lake later concluded his stumping tour of North Dakota. He expressed confl- dence he would win the Democratic preference in the State presidential pri- mary March 15 over Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York. 1 PRODIGIES COME YOUNGER Ten-Year-0ld Boy Violinist Brings Audience to Its Feet. b = Cutt " ist b us about - NEW YORK (NANA))—They 8¢ | |cure Se esd Ofiicaint 5o wo e Soutng)yeanger and yonnger. | |chased some.
