WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. — The
newspapers of America will spend
slightly more than$6,500,000 above
their normal expense in covering the
national political campaign. Karl A.
Bickel, president of tko United Press,
declared in an address to tko Wash-
ington Advertising club here today.
“From the data of the opeaiag of
the Republican national convention
last Juno until the last election result
has been compiled and tucked away
la the paper, the American news-
paper publisher will take on aa add-
ed normal production expense of at
least 88,500,000 and there Io every
probability of this cost running well
up to $7,000,000," he eaid. “One rea-
son for this tremendous expense is
the feet that the cost of covering
election results in the old • south,
hitherto more or less of a routine
function, will be greatly inereased
this year. Covering the Democratic
and Republican national convention
cost the American daily newapaper
publishers about $250,000 per day
while they lasted. Since July 15th,
the over normal cost of covering the
campaign has been close to $200,000
per week. Newspaper production costs
incident to tko election will be fully
$1,500,000.

Meanwhile police of western Cana-

Northeott, 20, and his mother, Mrs.

murder warrants after Los Angeles
officers continued to find assorted
instruments of death on the North-
cott chicken ranch near Riverside A
Two more axes, stained, police said,
witk blood, were uncovered in th* l
cellar of the Northeott home.
Other officials said the cellar
stepa were blood-stained. Neighbors
told of lending Cyrus G. Northeott,
the accused youth’s father, a garden
hose with which he washed down the
cellar steps at midnight recently.
Ths district attorney said he had
talked with Vancouver, B. C, au-
thorities over the telephone and that
they expressed belief the Northcotts
would be arrested soon. They left •
Southern California a few days ago,
about the time that Sanford Clark,

wholesale murder on the farm. Clark
said four boys, whom he named, had
been lured to the farm, tortured and
then killed. He aald he had killed
one of the boys himself to avoid be-
ing killed and as a means of getting
away.

After Clark told his story Cyrus
G. Northcott, father of the missing

Omaha's streets had been decorated

LACK TOUCHES
A black satin froek fer autumn
lafternoons has a rich rafeau lait yoke
that points bach and front and a
hands, according to his story.
“I asked him if he bed seen any-
one shooting around here,” Cheshire
testified.
Dickey replied that he had been
shooting. I then told him that he
(Dickey) hsd shot me. At this june-
ture Diekey said 'you've been rob-
bing my atation’ and started raising
his gun.
“I opened fire on him and pulled
the trigger as fast as I could. It
was gither Dickey or me.”
Following the testimony of Che-
shire, District Attorney Flesher in a
cross examination attempted to prove
that the defendant had shot the fill-
ing station owner in a fit ef anger
and not because he was in fear of
hie own life.
Cheshire, however, stuck to his
statement that he had teked to
Dickey before shooting and that he
did not fire upon the man until
Dickey had started raising his gun.
C. B. Reeder and Son represented
the defendant, and W. J. Flesher,
district attorney, and his assistant,
Grady Hazlewood the state.

Hoever, for their stand on farm re-
lif, Gov. Smith in the heart of th*
grain belt to open hia speech makiag
campaign for the presideney, declared
tonight he stood for the “principle”
of the McNary-Haugen bill, twice ve-
toed by President Coolidge.
“What remains of th* MeNary-
Haugen bill is a mere matter of
method,” the Democratic nominee as-
serted in an address prepared for de-
livery in the auditorium here, “And
I do not limit myself to the exact
mechanies and method embodied in
that bill."
Just before making this declara-
tion, Gov. Smith said, in hia prepared
text:
"Various people have attempted to
misrepresent and confuse my attitude
with respect to the McNary-Haugen
bill. I do not propose to leave the
slightest doubt In anybody's mind on
that subject.
“As I read the McNary-Haugen bill,
its fundamental purpose is to estab-
lish an effective control at the sale
at exportable surplus with the cost
imposed upon the commodity bene-
fitted.
"For that principle the Democratic
platform squarely stands, and for that
principle I squarely stand. Mr.
Hoover stands squarely opposed to
this principle by which the farmer
could get th* benefit of the tariff."
Expressing the view that "here is
a clean eut Isaus, which the farmers
and voters of the country must de-
eide," the New York governor reit-
erated that the details by which “this
principle shall be put into effect
alone remains to be worked out, and
ko again promised, if elected, to name
a non-partisan commission of farm
leaders end students of the problem
to determine the exact method of
relief.
“I pledge to the farmers and to
the people of this country," he added,
“that no atone will be left unturned
to give immediate and adequate farm
relief, by legislation carrying into
practice this definite principle for
which my party and I stand."
The Democratic presidential candi-
date made no direct reference to the
equalization fee provision of the Mc-
Nary-Haugen bill, which President
Coolidge branded unconstitutional.
Governor Smith charged that the
Republican* had violated their plat-
form promise*, had received the
farmer, and had done “nothing
whatever to contribute in the slight-
est degree to relieve the distress or
promote the welfare of the farm-
ers."
“As far as the president himself
is concerned,” he Mid, “Senator Nor-
ris (Republican-Independent of Ne-
braska) sums it all up in a few
words: 'He- stood against Congress
in the measures that they had of-
fersd, but made no constructive sug-
gestions himself, even after the ex-
haustive study he claims the admin-
istration gave the subject.”
“He might well have added,” Gov-
ernor Smith went on, “that Mr. Hoo-
ver, as chief adviser of the last
two administration* upon the subject
at agriculture assured a direct re-
sponsibility for ths hostility and in-
action of the administration and con-
tinues to assume that responsibility
by his fulsome indorsement of the
record of the Coolidge policies.”
