Local representatives of pure and

getting into the political game very
early this year of grace. The powers
that be in local democratic circles
have already hired every available
automobile in the city of La Junta

election day hauling voters to the
polls. Although the democratic
hosts will make q desperate effort to
win out at the fall election. it will
not avail. Like all previous years
during the last half century. with
the exception of the two lone Cleve-
land administrations, to which all
good democrats point with pride,
this will be a republican year. and

could not get voters to the polls fast

Washington, y. .0.-ssThe. war vessel
OF the future will be- y swift, smoke
less, noiseless craft, lying low in the

This prediction was made by Rob

cations of the UpitedSStates Geologi-

gas engine, in my opinion, is feasible
on any vessel because of its economy
over the steam engine, but it is espe-
cially desirable on the fighting shin
for the reason that it makes no
smoke. The gas is. generated in a
producer which has no chimney and
needs none. The coal is turned di-
rectly into gas. which goes straight
to the engine.
"The elimination of the smoke is
sufficient to call for the installation
OF the gas engine, yet there are many
other features in ITS favor. The yes
sci would have. free deck for the
play Of its big guns. There would be
no towering stacks to be punctured
or destroyed, thus cfipPling the boat.

The Unite1 States Geological Sur
