Paducha. Ky, Oct. 8.—The effect
on presidential contest upon prospec-
tive United States Supreme court va-
cancies was declared by Governor

appoint four reactionary members of
the supreme court." The governor

feated.

Lowering of the prices asked b*
the restaurant proprietors In Oklaho-
ma iClty has followed the opening of
the fight against the alleged profi-
teers by Herbert M. Peck, United
States district attorney, in some in-
stances the price lists have been en-
tirely revised with a cut of from 5 tw
IK rents on each item. The price* of
the food most called for in the eat-
ing houses, however, have been lower-
id only at small amounts and it i
expected that another general cut
will be necessary before the price#
are back to normal. Instances of -ut-
ting the price of sandwiches from 50
to 15 cents and vegetables on a •
cent basis have been reported to—-
Peek's office.
The cut has not been entirely con-
fined to the food prices, as manr
clothiers and shoe merchants are ad-
vertlslng sales and flat reductions ii
their goods. The most noticeable-
drop has been in shoes offered b*
some houses where a 25 peroet otiC-
has been made The prices on cloth-
ing In the city Is still higher thaa
hat asked in northern and easterm -
jitles, It Is claimed.
A close watch will be continued on
the merchants in the city and the cot
will not affect the vigilance of the de-
partment of justice in keeping the
storekeepers from charging exorbi-
tant prices fo rnecessitles. The drive
will be continued until all of the
prices have been brought to a norm-
al and conservative level, the dlstrlctr
