NEW YORK, Nov. 2-The Democratic
campaign management in New York
has been Jared by the big meetings
Roosevelt had in his sweep through
Manhattan Monday night, and by this
fear that as the result Stimson is go
ing 10 get a heavy vote from the east
side.
This has led John A. Dix. the Demo
cratic nominee for governor, who origi-
nally intended to make only one speech
in New York city, TO decide on a tour
OF the east side Thursday night He
will make three speeches there and
wind up the campaign with two up
State. speeches. Originally, Mr.. Dix
planned TO make only two important
campaign speeches. The alteration in
his plans and especially his effort to
counterfeit the Roosevelt influence. as
well as the Hearst influence, is consid-
cred of much significance BY politicians
The change Of plans was made at the
instance Of the Tammany organization
and Leader Murphy
This modification is one Of the best
indications as 10 how the Democratic
managers really lock on the situation.
They are looking for the Republican
vote upstate to be cut down but are
afraid Of the Roosevelt and Hearst in
fuence on the masses.
Losing Some Votes.
The persistent charges that Dix works
his men in his factories thirteen hours
a day is being hammered on by the
Republicans and the Independence
League in a way that is undoubtedly
costing Dix labor votes
The weakness Of the Democratic cam
paign all along has been the unwilling
ness OF Dix to take the stump, and his
incapacity for public speaking. Thus he
has not taken the aggressive. but the
defensive, and has been kept busy elc-
planning.
Tonight Mr.. Dix will address a great
Democratic meeting at Carnegie Hall.

strong enough. In any event his sec
rotary, Robert Adamson. will read a
letter from the mayor, in which the

H6dvy Rains

Splendid rains have fallen this
week on Monday and Wednesday.
The first did not cover as much
territory as was wished, but the
latter appears to have been more
general. The streets of Estancia
resembled those of Venice, with
fishing and bathing as the prin-
cipal pastimes. If there is any
one wanting more rain now, we
have failed to find him.
Another heavy rain fell on
! yesterday afternoon in Estancia
and vicinity. More water fell
within a half hours time, than
has fallen in years in the same
number of minutes. The rain was
preceded by a half hour of thund
er and lightning, rarely equalled.
The lightning struck the resi-

Favors East Side

In answer to the idea often
advanced in our county seat and
by people on the west side of the
valley, that the water and soil
of the east side of the valley is
alkaline and salt in character, we
respectfully deny and refute the
charge as unjust to the citizens
of Valley View and Shiloh CON-
munities, when it is a fact that
the water is as pure and soft,
and the soil as good as any in the
broad Estancia Valley And again
in the matter of rainfall, we
have been misrepresented. The
rains have been as early or ear
lier in the past three years than
on the west side of the valley.
And again it has been said that
money lenders would not ad-
vance money to develope the

EDITORS HOME
IS STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING
Family was Visiting Mrs. Lentz
and thus Escaped the
Fiery Visitor
REDUCED TO HSHES

On Wednesday evening, just
before the shower, lightning
struck the residence Of the editor
of the News, burning it to the
ground and destroying all the
contents. The nearest neighbors
were so shocked by the bolt Of
lightning that they cannot tell in
what part Of the building the fire
started, as apparently the whole
building was one mass of flames.
Willing friends rushed to the
place at once, but were powerless
to do anything. One chair was
pulled out after the door had
been crushed in, but the flames
poured forth in such volume that
the workers could not get near
the building.
Fortunately, Mrs. Speckmann
and the girlies had gone to spend
the afternoon with her mother,
or they must certainly have been
hurt, if not killed outright. Last
weeks fire was stayed just be-
fore reaching the News office, and
wife and babies being away from
home at the time of this fire,
gives us double cause for thank
fulness.
The loss was about twelve hun
dred dollars, partially covered by
insurance. Our library of be-
tween four and five hundred vol
umes was among the contents
destroyed. The News files, which
had been removed from the office
about ten days ago, had been
moved to a more secure place and
these were saved.
