JAMES F. BYRNES. >*. >: >: y':'y-: ^ raK^ffil M t.ty flfiSfilli? i hk2H3HV B Philadelphia Record Says "Jimmie" Was a Hit of tlie Campaign. "Jimmie" Byrnes, the Second district's popular congressman, was a vote getter for Wilson, according to the Philadelphia Record. The following write-up of our congressman's campaign speeches in Pennsylvania is from a recent issue of the Record: "One of the big and most effective hits of the campaign for the Democrats of Camden county has been the 10-day tour of Congressman James F. Byrnes, of South Carolina, who has been making nightly addresses. With the records of congress at his fingertips and with a fluent, easy ! v style of oratory marked by quick-fire humor and fetching anecdote he has raised his audiences to high pitches of enthusiasm for the Wilson-Wittpenn-Martine ticket. "Congressman Byrnes was a member of the Pujo Money Trust committee and because of his familiarity with the federal, reserve act explains the bill and its effect upon the business of the country. He also served as a member of the Colorado strike investigation and his description of conditions there is interesting to the laboring men. He cites the currency io, w f AUiai V/icmi at t? luauo att and other achievements of the Democratic -administration and charges that no responsible Republican leader would advocate a repeal of any one of these measures. He says Mr. Hughes, in denouncing the eight-hour law is unfair to the Republicans of . congress. That during the consideration of that bill he did not dare to style it a surrender to force and 76 Republican members of the house voted for it. He says that any one Republican senator could have filibustered it to death and the strike would have been called, but the responsibility would have been on Hughes and he preferred to remain quiet and after its passage denounce the Democrats and Republicans who voted for it. "Mr. Byrnes says no man knows what will be the foreign policy of Mr. Hughes, because no man knows whether Roosevelt or Jeremiah O'Leary will be appointed secretary of State. That if O'Leary is right in believing that Hughes is in accord with the views of O'Leary, Ridder et al., then T. R. has been handed a hTiolr a n H if fl'T^arv ic mistflk en, then the radical German-Americans who do not believe in neutrality are badly fooled. "Big meetings were held at Gibbsboro, Berlin, Clementon and Delair last night when addresses were made by Congressman Byrnes and the candidates. A meeting addressed by the municipal candidates was held last night at Thirty-sixth street and Westfield avenue. "Meetings will be held tonight by the Fifth Ward Wilson club, Fourth and Spruce streets; Eighth Ward club, Broadway and Ferry avenue; Tenth Ward club, Fifth and Pearl streets, and the Thirteenth ward, all in Camden and at Audobon, Collingswood, Chew's Landing and Blackwood. A banquet will also be given first voters at the Andrew Jackson club, Broadway and Division street, Camden, tonight. "Never have Camden Democrats been more confident of winning in the presidential race than they are this year. They can see only victory for the president and in all probability a landslide. Members of the Democratic Executive committee believe that the vote for Wilson will be greater than has been shown in the careful canvass of blocks of two and three. In the contest for governor, the committeemen say, Mr. Wittepenn is going to poll a larger vote than Governor Fielder did three years ago. It is also predicted by the Democratic campaign committee that Congressman Browning will be badly cut in his own party because of his stand on all questions of labor." FOREIGNERS KILLED. An American Physician Said to Have Been Among Executed. Chihuahua City, Nov. 4.?Dr. Fisher. an American physician, living at Santa Rosalia, was killed by the Villa bandits under Gen.

Trade Commission Completes Investigation Ordered by Senate. Washington, Nov. 3.?In a statement tonight announcing virtual completion of its investigation of news print paper prices, the federal trade commission declares that during the first half of the year, when prices already were soaring to unprecedented figures, the average cost of producing news print paper in domestic mills was less than $1.65 per hundred pounds, or below the average cost in the past three years. The commission announces, that, before issuing its reports, public hearings will be conducted and manufacturers, publishers and others interested given an opportunity to appear. No date is set for the hearings, but the report is said to be ready to send to the press in the near future. Certain facts developed by the inquiry are made public now, because most of the publishers' contracts for paper are about to expire. Contract prices rose this year from less than $2 per hundred to $3-and $3.50, and on current market purchases the publishers have paid $7 or more for paper bought in the same way prior to January 1 for between $2 and $3.
