The senate will pass the Norris resolution, but there is a probability that it will meet the usual fate in the house. If the states ever get a chance to vote on the amendment it is certain to pass. people. tat?0man (Endorsed by the Democratic State Central Committee) Pueblo A Democratic state newspaper, published every Saturday at Salt Lake City, Utah, devoted to progressive ideas and to promotion of the progress and prosperity of the state and party.

Another source of interest In the results of the contest lies in the geographical distribution of the slogans. Although every state In the Union Is represented, the larger number of entriea come from states usually listed as doubtful or normally Republican. Pennsylvania for instance, sent in a larger number of entries than any other state, with Massachusetts and the state of Washington running It close seconds. There were a large number from New York, and particularly good representations from Rhode Island, West Virginia, Utah, Missouri, Connecticut, California, Texas ana new Jersey. The degree of interest aroused by the contest and the tenor of the entriea submitted are encouraging gauges of the Democratic prospects in and I repeat the process.

I decided that very much more cotton could be bought locally, especially In my own city of Lowell, than the peo- ple were buying at thla time. I knew that if people only realized fully how clean and attractive cotton really la and that It has a charm and freshness tliat ailk never could equal, the people would begin to purchase cotton material for dresses again. INTERESTING THE CHILDREN. A cotton contest among the school children suggested Itself. Scoffers said, "Oh, no, you can never get the children to wear cotton dresses again. They also said that If you did have a cotton contest, you could never get an audience to go to see it But hundreds of school children did enter the contest, and our beautiful Veterans auditorium which holds 2800 was filled nearly to capacity. . So, with the assistance of the teachers and the school children and the newspapers, Lowell had a real cotton contest, and the scoffers scoffed no more COTTON FROCKS RECOMMENDED. Thla year, I plan to have another cotton contest, and I expect to have every child who can sew enter the contest. I shall ofTer, also, this year, prizes for the best suggestions for new uses for cotton. During the summer after the contest, children stopped me in the street and told me, I am wearing a cotton dress." That contest taught the children what their own city makes it gave them a feeling of prtae In their city's products, and it gave them a feeling that they are serving their city's need. Women all over the country, I believe, will greatly assist me in my campaign of helping our industries when they see the need. Labor knows only too well that if Industries do not have a chance for healthy growth, that labor will be out of employment. In helping capital, we are helping labor, and in being just and fair in helping labor, we really help capital. A REFLECTION. 1 They were hacking the local candidate at the village political .meeting.

Plant Found A gigantic moonshine distilling plant, the largest ever unearthed in Utah, was confiscated and three men. one of whom subsequently escaped, were arrested by prohibition agents who made a spectacular midnight raid on an apparently harmless four-roofarmhouse five milps southwest of Sandy in the Granite district Tuesday. Plans for the monthly production of several thousand gallons of whlqky for distribution in three states were frustrated by the. seizure, officials said. Those arrested in the raid were Adolph Moll, 28; Robert Thalman, 80, and Arthur Christian, 32. Molls wife was released after questioning. Christian, according to the other two men, financed the project and agreed to pay them $280 a month each to operate the distillery. He had also agreed, they said, to place 6000 chickens on the farm, the profits from which were to go to his em. ployees. One batch of 4G0 gallons of whisky hsd already been run off. but it was slightly burned. Preparations were being made when the raid occurred to produre a second batch, to mix with the first before marketing it. Prohibition Agents John Farrell, J. L. Cox and Fred Taylor, acting under instructions from George A. Goates, deputy administrator, made the arrests and seizure. Following the raid, the agents said, Christian pleaded to be taken to his wife's apartment in Salt Lake for the purpose of arranging his bonds. As the automobile was en route to the apartment Christian suddenly leaped to the street and fled Into the darkness. Attempts to recapture him were unsuccessful.
