West Hoboken, N. J, Sept. 7.— Palls, petticoats and polities. They're bone all mixed up in the fight which Mrs. Evangeline Duff is staging to gain the mayoralty nomination here. For Mrs. Duff, being a woman and health commissioner of the city at that, was expected to come forth with o platform advocating a rigid adher- ence to prohibition. Instead of which she has startled the community by coming out flatiy for tin pails for the working man-—"growlers” filled to the brim with four per cent decoction and topped with a couple of inches of “‘collar.” “If I'm elected mayor,"” she says, “T'll enforce the law with both hands. But that doesn’'t have to keep me from talking. And I'm for light wines and beer, “The tin pail is honest. filagreed hip flask isn't.” Mrs, Duff says that secretly most of the women in the country agree with her. “They're tired of this sham,” she continues. “T've talked with women all over the country. “The wife of the poor man brews it in her home. The wife of the rich man serves it at her bridge parties. 1 was at a gathering of club women recently where at least 800 of them admitted that liquor was served in their homes. “These women, as well as the wives of working men, are tired of hypoerisy. All they need is man with courage enough out and say so." Mrs. Duff believes that she is that woman. And there may be founda- tions for her courage. Known as the best dressed woman for her size (she admits to close to 200 pounds) in West Hoboken, she has traveled all over the country de- livering lectures upon the fashions popularly known as ‘stylish stouts.” Between lectures she sounded out feminine opinion on matters ranging from mud packs to Australian bal- lots. It is the result of those opinlons which is giving her courage now in her fight for the mayoralty on.an advocacy of light wines and beer, And just to show that she has the whole family in mind, #fle is advo- cating more milk for the school chil- dren.

Macon, Ga., Sept. 7.—Charles H. Garrett, solicitor general in charge of the preparation of evidence for the trial of seven persons accused of flog- ging in this county, declared today that members of the Ku Klux Klan| are deeply involved in the local cases. “Evidence in a vast majority. of the cases,” said Mr. Garrett last night,| “indicate that those persons arrested in connection with flogging are mem- bers of the klan.” Mr. Garrett said that in connection with the seven persons under arrest, against each of whom there are two or more cases, 'the evidence over- whelmingly indicates membership in the Ku Klux Klan." Klan headquarters,Mr. Garrett stat- | ed, is denying that the local acts were | authorized by the klan as an organi- zation. HEAVY SNOW STORM. Buenos Aires, Sept. 7.—Thousands of cattle and sheep with an estimated Vvalue of 5,000,000 pesos are reported to have perished in an unprecedented four day snow storm that raged last week in the territory of LaPampa. The herds suffered a mortality of from 25 to 40 per cent.
