oermany's Interest in Amsriesn Osst
Sugar.
Since the beginning OF the bee,
sugar industry In America. Germany
has watched its development anxious.
ly. Many Investigations have been
made OF IL. and as much or more has
been printed In Germany concerning
II as In America. The consensus o.
opinion here seems To be that tn.
one grea, obstacle To sugar beef
production In America Is the labor
problem. The fact that America
does not have the cheap labor OF
Europe. and especially that women
are used a. field laborers. the Ger
mans think is sufficient to keep the
United States from becoming any
serious competitor But notwith
standing these handicaps. and the
fact that the beet sugar industry
has only been established In the
United States about twenty year
We already produce one fourth a.
much beet sugar as Germany. and
the production is constantly increas
ing.
Tn. United States uses more 81.
gar than any other nation. and al.
though only two other nations SUI.
many and Russia, It Is stili ne.
.ssary To import more sugar than
any other country In order to sup
ply our needs. Last year the import.
tons amounted to over two million
tons. and In addition to this one
and one half million tons were pro
duced within our borders. inciuding
Hawaii and Porto Rico. approxima,s-
H one million tons being product
from sugar cane and one-hak million
from sugar be.ts.
We may Increase our sugar pro.
ductiou as much as the total pro
duction OF Germany at the present
time. and ws will only b. produclng
enough to supply our own consump.

ture OF sugar from beets is

- leonic wars. In lI41, MarR'
graf. q German chemist, discovered
that the common white field beet OF
Germany contained sugar. but this
discovery Was not considered as OF
any economic Importance. But In
the beginning OF the nineteenth cen.
tury. when Napoleon Bonaparte WI
Ia the zenith OF his power. he put an
embargo on the Importation OF sugar
into Europe In order TO strike blow
At England sine. practically all the
sugar used In Europe came from the
British colonies. This resulted In
famine prices for sugar. and now. for
the first time the discovery was
thought To be OF some economic val
ue and that possibly the beet might
b. utilized as sourc. OF sugar. AS
a result In 1872 a factory. the first
of It's kind In the world. Was built
near Breslau. Germany. for the manu-
fac,ure OF sugar from beets In
France. likewise. factories were soon
built, and under the stimulus OF war
prices and government protection the
new Industry was established.
Since 1890 the average annual
worlds production OF beet sugar has
exceeded the annual production OF
cane sugar. and in 1910 III. worlds
production OF beet sugar exceeded
$500 900 tons. or seventeen billion
pounds

FULTON'S WORD
Chairman of Shawnee Commit.
tee Sure of Success.
Points to Strong Ticket Sup
ported by Both Factions.

Chairman Charles Suit and Secre-
tary W. S. Fulton of the Republican
County Central committee made the
following statement for the State
Journal today:
Our committee has given practi-
cdlly its whole attention to the cleo
tiUn of the Republican county ticket.
Fortunately there has been no fac
tional fight whatever on the county
ticket and that has made our task a
pleasant one. I'VE are satisfied that
the Republican county ticket will be
elected by safe majorities. We do not
care to give out any figures on ma
jorities further than to say that we
will be greatly disappointed If the
county ticket does not have $500 ma
jority.
We do not deny that there will be
a slump but we do not believe that it
viii be so great as was expected some
time ago. Hundreds of Republicans
have come back where they belong
and the most of them will support the
straight Republican ticket. Even those
who are uncertain this year are show
ing no disposition to knife the Repub-
iican county ticket.
Another thing that has greatly
aided US in our campaign has been
the high class of men who make up
the Republican county ticket. I do
not remember a time when strong
err ticket has been nominated by the
Republicans. They are all men of
laig caliber who are above suspicion
and no Republican is called upon to
apologize for any one on the ticket.
Il would especially warm the voters
against eleventh hour campaign cir
culars which may be issued by the
democratic committee. An appeal to
the prejudices by means of handbills
is not as effective as it was years ago,
but nevertheless it is well to be on
guard and to remember that the men
who issue circulars attacking any in
IiViduals are all the enemies of. the
Republican party and their chief OBJ
iect is to forestalI Republican SUCCESS

Republicans Have Strong, Well
Balanced County Ticket.

1t is only a matter of hours now.
until you will be called upon to choose
county officers for the next two years.
1t will behoove every voter to mark
his ballot carefully to avoid any mis-
takes in the election of the officers.
The campaign, which has been one
of the quietest ever seen here, practi-
cally has closed, there remaining only
a few hours before the actual victims
begins. The candidates will perfect
final arrangements for workers at the
polls Tuesday, and perhaps may make
an effort to see a few more voters be-
tween now and then. And then there
will remain nothing hut the counting.
In order to facilitate the choosing of
candidates for the county offices a list
of the candidates and some of the
qualifications claimed for them is given
herewith.

who served a number of years as dep
uty clerk, is opposed by John M.

fed by experience for the position. He
made a strong race before the primar-
les, defeating the incumbent, Samuel

nomination Cleveland, however. has "A
good many friends who believe he has
a chance to win.
For sheriff L. L. Kiene, who was sue
cessfuI in defeating Sheriff Jonathan d.
Norton for the Republican nomination,
is asking the support of Republicans
for the office. Kiene, his friends say,
has all the necessary qualifications for
the office, being a man of ability and
breadth and force of character, and
having the interests of the people d,
heart. He is opposed by w. E.
Schlichter. for a number of years fore
man for the Dibble Grocery company,
who was defeated by Col. Norton two
years ago in a race for the office.
There is no rea son why all Republi-
cans should not vote for Kiene, and
he is sure to draw heavily from the
Democratic strength.
For county treasurer Matt Weight

year in the Office, is the Republican
candidate. Weightman's record is one
of the best ever made in the office
and it is urged ne is entitled to a sec
