DEMOCRATS WIN NEW MEXICO.
Elect All State Officers and One
United States Senator.

United States Senator.
In her first election New Mexico
goes Democratic. The entire Demo
cratic State ticket headed by W. C..
Mcdonald for governor, as well as
congressional candidates H. B. Fergu-
san and Paz Valverde, have MAORI
ties between five and six thousand.
With many outlying districts un'
heard from, interest in Tuesdays
elections centers in the neck and neck
race between the Republicans and
Democrats and Progressive Republi-
cans coalition for the eontroi OF the
Legislature, which elected two United
States senators.
Latest returns give the Republi-
cans SO out of u votes in the joint
assemb and the coalition IS with
four seats in doubt. Should the CO.
alition control the legislature, 1t is
expected that one Of the new senators
will be a Democrat.

SHOULD HOLD COTTON.
President C. S. Barrett Gives Out
Statement.

"See the enclosed clipping. I am
right in behind you with this work.
More than 5000 papers carry these
communications" was the statement
contained in a letter received at the
State department Of Agriculture by
E. ]. Watson, the commissioner, says
The State. The following statement
accompanied the letter:
President Chas. S. Barrett of the
National Farmers union, in an ad
dress to union members says hold
cotton. He urges farmers to farm as
if cotton were not in existence He
says at this critical stage Of the cot
ton situation, with the Farmers un-
ion and scores Of business leaders
and general southern factors bat
ting to stem the tide Of unfair
prices, the first duty Of the farmer is
to hold his cotton. Those who sell at
present prices are simply giving
away margin OF several million dol
lars to spinners and spectators.
Quotations after the first of the year
will establish the truth Of that asser-
ton. The most difficult part OF the
campaign is now upon US. To waver
is to lose the effect Of the splendid
work already accomplished.
In South Carolina. under the lead
ership of E. J. Watson, president of
the Southern Cotton congress, they
are instituting system Of pledges
which binds the planter to hold his
present cotton for 13 cents; and fur
ther, not to sow more than so per
cent Of the arabic acreage in cotton
for the coming season. The plan is
an excellent one. Statistics and our
own common sense tell US that the
crop now in hand is worth more than
is being offered for it. But il ciyili-
zation needs the sharp lesson of
short crop 10 emphasize the wisdom
of fair dealing with the farmer, then
so be it.
The South is in a better position
to be absolutely independene than
any other section Of the country. Just
assume, for the sake Of illustration,
that soil conditions were such that
we could not produce cotton. We
would then proceed to realize upon
The South's heayen-selr heritage by
producing the great staple crops rails
ed in every section Of America, the
crops they rely upon TO sustain life,
TO bring in revenue, to promote pros
pericy.
Think what Southern soil can
yield: Corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye,
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, tur-
nips, peas, vetch. burr clover, alfalfa,
ribbon cane, sorghum, watermelons,
all kinds of yegeta bles. COWS. hogs,
sheep, goats mules, poultry ard poul-
t7y products, dairy PRODUCTS and ali
manner OF fruits
we could simply wipe cotton out
Of consideration, still make living
and bring in enormous sums from the
world al large for Southern crops.
In the face Of these tremendous
assets, It is nothing less than cricii-
nal folly to concentrate on cotton.
Cut down on it ruthlessly. Make It
strictly surplus crop. Produce any
Or all OF the other crops have
Then the perennial
cotton problem will cease to be one.

mYs.IDAHO CONTROVERSY.
H. E.. Dantzebecher the Measurer,
Explains Situation to Date.

When ]. G. N. Whitaker's Ilys won
the race from Wilmington to Wild
wood last month three of the defeated
yacht-owners protested her on the
grounds that she was not properly
measured. Announcement was made
through Commodore II. H. Ottens, of
the Wildwood Y. c., that Peter
Shields, owner of the Idaho. which
finished behind the Ilys in the race,
was willing to back his Doat for from
1000 to $4,000, provided the yachts
were remeasured. This article
brought forth denial from Mr..
Shields and in his letter he referred
to measuring of the Ilys. Howe
Dantzebecher, the measurer, at the
same time made a statement and has
since been trying to get Mr.. Shields
to make retraction of his charges,
but 1t seems that he has not sue
ceeded. In his letter Mr.. Dantze-
becher said:
AS 10 tue ulHefence between SdlI
and fresh water measurement, it is
too little to speak or on these small
boats, the decimal fol salt water be-
ing 02S4 and for fresh .0291, and in
this l am borne out b. eminent naval
architects, to whom / have spoken,
and proven by recent inspection of
bulls measured in fresh and looked
over in salt water, notably the 7O-foot-
er Marguerite II, which beat. by the
way, one of the contestants in this
race.
Mr. Shields should have entered his
protest before the start, but deferred
It until after, when he had lost, and
he is also entirely mistaken as to
previous measurements of the uys.
In due coures he will have the oppor-
tunity to learn something on the sub
ject."

GREAT DEMAND

Eighteen Orders Already In
For the New 1912
Model Car

Eighteen thousand orders have
been received from dealers by Cen
eral Sales Manager George w. Ben
nett of the Wllys-Overland Com
pany, Toledo. Ohio, makers Of over
land cars. BY the first OF September
this amount will be increased many
thousand.
Never in the history Of the over
land organization has such demand
been made by dealers for Overland
cars" says Sales Manager Bennett.
Following our 1912 announcement
the sales force was literally deluged
with dealers from all over the coun-
try.
This unusual demand has caused
us to order new automatic machinery.
rush with vigor the completion OF
our new buildings and issue a hurry
call for additional help. Surely the
building and marketing OF good motor
cars is an industry and not a game.
One OF the predominating refin-
ments installed on Model 81 of the
1912 Overland line and one hereto
fore found on only high priced cars
is an ingenious tool box arrangement.
President John n. WHY'S of the
Willys-Overland Company hit upon
an original idea OF eliminating the
ordinary tool box in an effort to Gre

CANADA BUYS
HUDSON CARS
Sales There This Year Greatly
in Excess Of Those Of
Past Year

The Hudson Motor Car Company
reports a great increase in automo-
bile sales in Saskatchewan, Manitoba
and Alberta, the three great interior
provinces Of western Canada. Last
year the Hudson invaded this field for
the first time. The cars it sold proved
so satisfactory that this year it has
already contracted for six times as
many cars as last year, with much
larger orders in prospect The effec-
tive construction devised by Howard
e. Coffin for the protection of the
mechanism against dust seems to be
the most popular single feature Of
the Hudson, though the accessibility
of all parts, insuring quick road re-
pairs case Of need, and the economy
of the car in the matter of gasoline
have been important factors.
The Canadian Motor Car Sales Com
pany. Ltd, representative of the Hud-
son in the region, has headquarters
at Regina and covers its enormous
territory through nearly a hundred
sub-agents. G. r. Rastall. its man
ager. reports that at least half of the
immense grain crops of the region
are sowed. cultivated, and harvested
by traction engines of one sort or
another and that people are therefore
accustomed to mechanical means of
transportation. He thinks that the
results show that the big ranchers in
the region were only waiting for the
advent Of a servicable, moderate
priced car like the Hudson to buy on
a large scale. The probable adoption
Of the reciprocity bill, with its re-
duced rates on automobiles, and the
enormous prospective crops about to
be gathered. may also have had some
thing to do with the SUCCESS of the
Hudson.

UNDRESSING
CARS ARE SAFE
Stick to Every Inch Of Their
Wheel Base at All
Times

The recent death Of Lewis Strang,
the famed driver of racing cars, is by
far the strongest proof for the new
Undressing construction in motor cars
that can be required. Strangs car
turned turtle and Strang was driving
at a rate of only four miles an hour.
To the unskilled or semi-sldlled driv-
er, this cannot but carry a mighty
message of the danger of cars OF over
hung construction. If a driver of
Strang's cleverness is killed because
of the instability of oyerhung con-
struction, surely the average motorist
has little chance in a pinch of this
kind. If Strang had had an under
slung car, the odds are great that It
would have passed on its sturdy way,
leaving the driver unhurt We can
not but heed Strang's fate and that OF
many other drivers, both skilled and
otherwise.
In the car OF overhung construc-
ton, there is a deal of unnoticeable
swing literally. The wheels on one
side hit a rut and comes additional
rocking force. which. though possibly
not noted by the occupants OF the car.
actually Is present, an ever serious
lation of the car. the inevitable large
obstruction may catch the swing OF
the tonneau at Just the right instant,
increasing its sideward swing IN
many cases causing a up-up with
serious results.
The strongest advocate of the safe
undressing way" is the Regal Motor
Car Co of Detroit. The cars this
firm are turning out today are marv-
els of the modern underslung car
construction. They are a low center
OF gravity machine. that sticks to
every inch of their wheel base, In
stead of U2on the usual Intellectual
two wheels Of the overhung car. And
the reason for this reliability is the
underslung construction, which plac-
as the center Of gravity close to
the road where II rightfully belongA
With this proximity of road and cent
er Of gravity. comes a minimum or
the rocking forces. which assures one
of the greatest factors Of safety that
can be desired.
