When else would he expect to see
the morning light breaking? He
was referring to the fact that
Massachusetts has a Democrat
governor. That can we'll beIoffset by
the fact that morning light broke
in the west when Missouri Joined
the Republican column. The truth
is a great many things broke on the
8th of last November-too many to
be catalogued.

The farmers of Northern Texas
are reported to be SO busy blowing
their fields for the next cotton crop
that they have no time to attend
meetings for the discussion of in
sert pests, how to reduce the size
of the crop or how to keep up
prices. Meanwhile in Fall River
Mass, with two feet of snow on the
ground, the spinners and the man
ufacturers are unable to reach an
understanding and the mills stand |
idle. And now comes Sir Alfred |
Jones, who presided at the British |
Cotton Growers Association in
Manchester, a few days ago, and |
says the day will come when
America will be dependent upon the

through it's municipal government,
has voted to invite President Roose-
welt to visit that ancient and honor
able town when he makes his
Southern tour. The fact is that so
many places IN the Southern states

found it impossible to accept them,
and will have to postpone a general
tour of the south until some time
in the distant future. The invita-
lions show the desire of the South
ern people to meet the president
and he will not disappoint their ex-
pectations.
