His Party Needs Votes.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 2l.-"The
democratic party does not need lead
ers so much as it does votes,' says
W. J. Bryan, in his leading editorial
in this weeks Commoner. "The next
presidential nomination will not be
awarded to the highest bidder,' he
continues, "but to the man whose
availability during campaign rates
rather than his ability for the office.
"The eastern papers are just now
much concerned about a leader.
They are searching high and low for
Moses to conduct the party into the
promised land. They, with one ac-
cord declare the money question has
been killed again and no one is con.
sidering leader who stands upon the
Kansas City platform.

Ctah's Beet Sugar Crop.

SALT LAKE, Nov. 2O.-This will be
Utah's banner year in the production
OF beet sugar. The output of all the
factories will be &c, 100000 pounds, an
increase Of % per cent. over last year.
Next year the output is expected to be
far greater owing to the important
developments along this line in the
Bear river country in the northern
part of the state. The figures given
above are from Z. r. Cutler, man ager
of the Utah Sugar company.
Utah sugar is selling in the local
market at a retail of s. per sack
Some of the dealers are of the opinion
that it sold at one time as low as
s4.S5. The low price in the east is at
tributed to the fight still on between
the American Sugar Refining company
the sugar trust and ArbucSle, the
big coffee and sugar man. AS re.
suit of this fight the prices of sugar
and coffee have been demoralized.
Arbuckle's coffee is being handled by
the local dealers at profit OF less
than one cent per pound.
