DANGEROUS TO LET TUESDAY'S ELECTION ,,1 GO BY DEFAULT 'Because iherei ure e6ntests in some voting districts of; county, many of the voters are showing indifference and seem -to feel that it is not accessary to go to the polls next Thursday and cast their ballots. This Is a bad attitude to assume, and it Is always dangerous for any voter to permit an election to go by default urpriH may occur at any time and if the men-voters favors should be defeated it may result in Then again any candidate, although his election may seem assured, is always desirious of having as large a vote as possible, because it gives him the asaurance' of general approval by the people.

Election November 1921. ELISHA FORBES. S-N8 The first modern 'battleship to cost over was the British ship Inflexible, launched in 1881.

wet interests of the country are thoroughly organized, backed by millions of dollars and are building up a vast, political machine in their efforts to nullify the Prohibition Amendment, and bring back alcoholic conditions to this nation and that the' dryinterests of the nation must also organize to combat This condition was Impressed upon the peope of Sayre last night by James H. Woertendyke of the Flying Squadron in one of the ablest addresses ever heard here Mr. Woertendyke, a well known Chicago lawyer and former judge, has been in the fight for a dry nation for twenty years. Last night he discussed the liquor question in its various legal phases and talked, as he said, an ayorney to a' jury He explained the limits of the amendment and how little It really meant unless congress saw fit to pass laws to make it effective. Must Arouse Sentiment.

It is necessary to arouse the public sentiment of the people to. the extent that they will impress the prohibition sentiment upon the congress so thoroughly that it will become a fixed principal and policy of govern ment. Many have the mistaken impression that because prohibition is in the constitution it is actually here; But the mere adoption and ratification by more states than ever before pass ed an amendment does not in itself make it effective. The constitution fixes the policy, but it depends upon congress to make it effective. Several examples were given wherein the constitution confers powers on the national government that were not exercised by congress for many years, because the1 congress did not havo the disposition or inclination to enforce them or the occasion did not arise that rendered it necessary.

Depends On Congress Congress, can refuse or decline to function on an amendment, and there is no recourse. The constitution doef not give us prohibition, it merelj makeg it possible for congress to tunc So far as congress is concern ed the provision is not mandatony, i' is only advisory. The present Volstead Act was pass ed eoon after the amendment was adopted, was vetoed by President Wi' son and then: passed over hi3 veto The Volstead Act Is now effective, but wlille congress cannot change the con stituiioni it can always change anj laws passed by itself, so that the per manency of the present lawB all restf In the judgment of a majority of that body in reality a very tew men. 'uon gressmen are just ordinary human be ing, they are not angels, they belong to this earth. Public Opoinion Congressmen are very susceptibh to public opinion.

They did not sub mit the amendment because they wanted to, but because' public eenti- ment demanded it so strongly "that they did not dare disregard it. The wets as well as the drys know that congress is controlled by the voice ol public sentiment. They have as much brain and play the political game more skillfully. There is no neutral feiouuu, If voiei is utjuuai lie iieipts the wet side, because enforcement is a positive proposition, and if a votei merely stands aside he aras those who do not want enforcement. Wets Are Organized.

The Flying Squadron is covering the country to place the facts before the people. The wets are now more thoroughly organized then ever before in the history of the prohibition fight. Thejt now have thirty-two na tional organizations working under a supreme head. Before different branches of the business fouglit each other, but now they are allies and all stand together on a definite fixed plat form. They are trying to first secure i $4.50 to $15.00 $1.50 to $18.00 $1.50 to $18.00 tracks, -2Ti feet below and at the base ot the slope, there is a pile of boards.

The man who Intended to ossassiuato Dr, Mandevllle must have known thaU he had gone to Milltown and would have to return across the bridge. Standing on the slope, his head cnjrie i just between' ihe top and second boards of- the fence. In the shadow cast by the end post of the ibridge and further' concealed by the canopy of grapevines, the would-be assassin waited. Villain Pulls Trigger Then from out of the end of tlie bridge came a Ford icar with Dr. Man- his automatic on the second board of jthe fence, close to the post, he the trigger.

Then came the rain, of shots. One went wild. The flight of wo were stopped in the car seat. The' uu.ui ui cm. me drivers coat anu sum, jusi over his backbone.

Dr. fMandevillo gave one glance. The man had tlinisl the pistol and his head just far enough between the boards 1 so thut the weapon and his light colored -cap or hat could be seen. It was the work of only an nstant after nulling the trig- gci iur uiau lu juuugu uuwu uiu steep bank, run around the board pile and disappear in the Lehigh Valley yards. Empty Cartridges All these facts ibecamn piuin when Dr.

Mandeville showed the 1.10 smenls of his car to Mr. Child thi i morning. On the ground, a few Inches the right of where the villain had stood two empty cartridges were first found. Then when the leaves were moved, two more were Two of the shells were standing on end and the other two were on their sides With Dr. Mandeville and Mr.

Child, when the shells were found were two boys, James Gay, 805 North Elmer avenue and IHarry Nusbaum, 811 North Elmer avenue. Marks on Shells The 'four shells are marked "Rem-U, M. '45 A. CP." Dealers in ammunition say 'that the shells were manufactured by 1116 combined and United Metallic Cartrdige companies, for use In a .45 caliber Automatic Colts Pistol. No such ammunition Is carried 'by any of the Sayre dealers, and the police have no further clues.

Identity Not Mistaken Dr. Mandeville today expressed the opinion that the attempt at murder was not a case of mistaken identity, He says he Is sure that the man with murder In his heart was waiting for him at the best place imaginable for the commission of assassination and successful flight. SIBLEY M. WEST, Ar.rn mam nice Sibley M. West died at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Mrs.

The wets are building a great political machine and they do not intend to permit the matter to come before congress in any final vote until they can control thesitua-tion. That is the reason that the matter has been held- up for several months in congress by a filibuster. They are waiting until they are sure.

They are organizing each precinct with three workers, two men and a woman who are seeking signers to booze petition carefully prepared ann to which signatures are often obtained by skillful misrepresentation, an people do not read it when they sign It They also find how people stand, and those who are neutral are worked up on to aid the wet side. 1 they can make their petitions largo enough they will lay them before congress as the sentiment of the people, threaten members with defeat and use every means to misrepresent him before the people. This 'petition Is new being circulated in seven states and will be taken into all. They are planning to spend a mil-ion doflars to defeat Volstead for reelection next because, ifllefeat-ed, the man who will suoceed him as chairman of the judicfary committee is a pronounced wet, and thef will Buppart any man in his district in order to have him defeated. Drys Must Awaken.i The drys buried the coffin of John Barleycorn, but the corpse was not inside.

Toe many of the drys went to sleep as soon as the amendment was passed, thinking that it was all settled, but it is not, and the wets will slip In -If the drys do not awaken. We must arouse the sleeping energies of the dry people of thenation. The pro-Tiibition sentiment was placed in cold RTOTOPP Bn1 tnrmttnn The ICCplC must stand for the enforcement of this amendment. The government of the nation is bigger than any wet men ace that it has outlawed. If the people now fall the constitution fails and all law and order breaks down.

It is a big responsibility just to be alive in America today and people who are against the domination of liquor must fight to save the nation. Whitney Speaks. The other speaker, Arthur Whitney, had experience overseas, said that the stories circulated that the service men were opposed to the amendment were mostly untrue and were part of the propaganda started by the wets to deceive the country. He said that the army did not stop after the first victory was won, but pushed on anrt made it complete, crushing the enemy and the same tactics must be employed by the prohibition forces in this nation. They must not stop with the amendment, but must join their forces to see that it Is made thoroughly effective.

Borough Engineer Uses Brain The impression given to the polico was that, the shots were fired man who stood on the southern end of the bridge abutment and this place was searched by Chief yesterday but no shells were found.

These facts came to the attention of Harry Child, borough engineer of Sayre. Thinking the incidents bver tills morning Mr. Child decided thut shots fired with such rapidity as described by Dr. Mandevllle did not come from a revolver, for the chamber would not revolve with sufficient rapidity. Only, an automatic pistol would have propelled buliets, so rapidly.

And if an automatic pistol was ued, then the cartridges were ejected instantly after the shot were fired. This mean that the shells were on the ground, reasoned Mr. Child. Trip Is Duplicated The borough engineer communicated his idea to Dr. Mf.ndeville and they decided to visit the scene of the shoot-ling.

They drove Dr. Mandeville's car to Milltown viaduct. Then it was run over the western raid of the bridge tc the approach and stopped at the point where Dr. Mandevllle thought tbe rain of shots commenced. Then the direction from which the builets struck the car was sighted nr.d they evidently came from the side of the second pest from the ir-l of the bridge.

And right beneath the point from which Dr. Mandeville thought the shots came, the four shells were found.
