THE SUGAR BEET.
stock ton Graphic

The next long step toward afiiuence which
the people of California should take should be
to fall into line with Claus Spreckels and go
to raising sugar beets. Mr.. Spreckels has ac-
cumulated millions OF dollars by properly siz-
ing up conditions and improving opportuni-
ties, hence his Judgment on any question and
especially the sugar-beet question, should be
taken and acted upon without unnecessary
ing annually $4,000, 900 worth of beet sugar.

LADY'S SKIRT WITH CIRCULAR
FRONT AND GODET BACK.

For making skirts of plaids, checks and
stripes the shape with circular front and
godet back is preferred to all Others as it saves
the trouble of matching at the seams, for all
the seams in this shape are hidden, falling, as
as they do, in between the godet folds, the
front being in one piece, the seams Joining it
to the back are also hidden in the folds. Novel
effects can be obtained by cutting striped goods

NOT A STRADDLE YEAR.
Editor Roberts Insists That Candidate
Staples Must Declare Himself.
[sPEcrAL TO THE PREss.l

Biddeford, August 3. 5.-Unless ex- Mayor
Edward W. Staples, whom the Demo-
Gratis Of the First District, yesterday, NOM
mated for Congress, is willing to come
out solidly for free silver, he cannot
count on the support of William A. Rob-
erts or his free coinage organ, the Bidde-
foro Times. Editor Roberts declares
that this is no time for straddling, and
as the Democratic district convention
was strongly in favor of silver, Candidate
Staples should make haste to declare
himself, so the people may know where
he stands.
Editor Roberts, in reviewing the action
of the Alfred convention, calls attention
to the fact that Tristram Goldthwaite,
who made the nomination, and VIM. II.
Clifford, who seconded it. are both gold
bugs, and draws the inference that Mr.
Staples has weakness in the reduction of
the yellow metal.
/ The Times goad-stiok may be expected
to be kept in constant use till Candidate
Staples speaks.

THIRD CAUCUS.
Richm pond Republicans Tryingsto Straight
en- Out Tangle.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.]

Richmond, August ga third caucus
of Republicans was held Tuesday at
which Benjamin B. Curtis was nominat-
ed for Tepresentive to the legislature, and
another town committee was chosen.
This action still further complicates
the local political affairs of the Republi-
cans.
June Goth caucus was held, called by
a majority of the Republican town oom-
mittee at which delegates to the county
convention favoring Newell for county
attorney. were chosen, new town COM
mittee WAS elected and Noble Maxwell
was nominated for representative to the
legislature.
June 25th another caucus, called by the
chairman of the town committee, chose
delegates to the county convention who
supported Rogers for county attorney.
The credentials committee which turned
down the Wakefield delegation of Bath,
at the county convention, treated the
Newell delegation from here in the same
way, which action, 1t is claimed by the
Rogers faction, nu1lifed the doings of
the caucus Of June 20 in regard to town
committee election and the nomination
for representatives.
Consequently the third caucus was
called by the Rogers faction, aided by
| some of the town committee who signed
the oall for the first caucus with the
result stated above.
Maxwsll's nomination was fled with
the Secretary of State some time ago and
his friends olaim.it Is legal in all respects
and will hold.
The case is in some respects similar to
she Bangor contest and the result is
awaited with considerable interest by
all
The decision as to which town commit
tee shall be recognized rests with the
state committee. The town committee
chosen at the first CAUCUS was instructed
to enter upon its duties at once, but they
cannot get possession of the Republican
campaign flag, as the chairman of the
old comm ittee still holds the fort and re-
fuses to give it up.
