FORAKER'S CHALLENGE TO
TAFT.

Senator Foraker has challenged Sec
rotary of War William H. Taft to a con-
test in the State of Ohio, when, to the
majority of the Republicans, voting, will
be left the decision as to who shall be
Ohios choice for presidential candidate,
Foraker or Taft
In his challenge Senator Foraker says
he does not want any political honors
from the people of Ohio without their
hearty approval. y
Taft's boom has already been launched
and his friends are confident he will Sc
cure the Ohio delegation to the National
Convention. He has the silent influence
of President Roosevelt.
Fire Alarm Foraker must rely on the
negro vote, which controls in Ohio. and
which accounts for his radical position
in the investigation of the Brownsville
outrage by the negro troops. Fire Alarm
Foraker is too wild and woody as an
Ohioan to be entrusted with the respon-
sibilities connected with the office of
President of the United States.

That Mr.. Vice President Charles
Warren Fairbanks of Indiana is one
of the most prominent candidates for
is known of all men. 1t has been TAX
en- for granted all along that Repub-
lican Hoosierdom was not only solidly
but enthusiastically for him. 1t was
also rumored that he was rounding up
the southern delegates much in the
manner in which Marcus A. Hanna
rounded them up for Mckinley in 1896.
So everything seemed lovely sor the
vice president, and the goose honked
high. Now, however. comes the news
that certain Indiana statesmen are in
league to beat him out of the Indiana
delegation or. failing that. to set up a
delegation which, though instructed for
him, will desert him at the first oppor-
tunity. thereby repeating the pertidy
of the Ohio delegates which in 1880
and again in 1888 defeated John Sher-
mans presidential aspirations. The
knitting of Sherman to death in the
house of his friends Is still fresh in the
minds of all well informed folks.
The fiMt premonition of trouble for
the vice president came when Harry
s. New of Indianapolis succeeded Mr..
Cortelyou as chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee. The Fair

Foraker's Photos.

Many men of many minds. Many
ways of conducting a campaign. 1t is
said that as an aid to his presidential
boom Senator Joseph Burton Foraker
of Ohio has already invested $4,000 in
photographs of himself. A Mr.. Budd
Of California once elected himself to
congress by travelling in a blackboard
and by painting in huge red letters on
every rock and mountain side this leg
end: "Vote For Budd." And the people
liked his novel method so well that he
was sent to Washington, where he did
so well that he was soon elected gov
ernor of his state. Perhaps the photos
will turn the trick for Foraker.

A Bluff.

Now comes the steel trust and
threatens to shut down it's armor plate
plant unless the government buys
more armor plate of it! Wonder if it
hopes to scare anybody by such man
ifesto as that. If any federal official is
scared he ought to be impeached. It's
bluff pure and simple. The trouble
with the trust is that it had been
charging two or three prices for plate
actually selling to Russia eft al. at
about three-fourths of the price it
charged us. Then the Midvale COM
pany underbid the trust. The govern
ment nevertheless gave the big end of
the contract to the trust. but notwith-
standing this outrage the price came
down somewhat. and the trust. Is sim

COTTON.

To te Cotton Growers of Louisiana:
Question-What is the first duty that
cotton grower owes to himself?
Answer-To protect his interest
against the greed of the people who I'M
justly depress the price of cotton
through the manipulation of cotton ex-
changes and cotton future gambling.
Question-IIow can this be doneo
Answer-By standing by the Southern
Cotton Association. When it fixes a
minimum price for cotton let that price
be sacred. Stand by it, live by it and
die by it.
Question-Why do some people who
live among rs say that we can not dc
this?
Answer-Because they do not want lis
to do it and care not whether we starve
as long as they grow rich and fat
Question-Who will protect the cotton
growers interest if he does not do ii
himself?
Answer-No one The c4terpillare
tried to help him by cutting off the
quantity that he raised but he (the farm
er) got too smart for the catepllars and
learned to poison them. Now the boil
weevil has come to help him out and
has no doubt done the farmer much
good
Question-What would cotton now be
selling for had it not been for the boil
weevil?
Answer-Probably not more than &c
per pound.
Question-Has the boil weevil been a
benefit to the cotton farmer?
Answer-If we had no boil weevil we
would be making fourteen million bales
and selling it for &c per pound, or AGO
million dollars, but the boil weevil only
allows up to make thirteen million bales
and we get for it Ioc per pound, or $50
million dollars, which is 100 million dol
lars in favor Of the boil weevil.
Question-Why do we not get more
money for large crop than for small
one?
Answer-Because the cotton exchange
organizations prevent it by cotton future
gambling. Go be continued) Yours

Pres. La Div S. c. A.
