WILL SUPPORT WILSON.
Real Progressives Have No Faith
In Bull MOOSerS.

Washington, D. c., Oct. Is
United States Senator John D.
Works, of California, today issued
a signed statement charging the
Progressive Third Party movement
in California with gross fraud and
asking all Progressive Republicans
to vote for Governor Wilson for
President. He also pointed out the
impossibility of the Republicans car
rying California for Taft because of
the manner in which the Bull Moose
leaders of that State fraudulently
entered and captured the Republican
primaries, and he advised all Re-
publicans in California and in other
States where Taft electors are not
on the Republican ballot, to vote
for Wilson.
Senator Works outlined the man
ner in which the Roosevelt men, not
entitled to place on the ballot at
the primary election, caused their
candidates and voters to swear that
they were Republicans in order to
enter the Republican primary to
nominate for office on the Republi-
publicans, but members of the
Third party.
'sThe new party" said Senator
Works statement, is completely
organized with all the necessary po-
litical machinery, and some of the
men who are acting as members OF
the Republican committees in Cali
fornia are also members of work.
ing committees of the new party.
mo kind of sophistry, or evasion
can conceal the fact that this
whole proceeding is fraudulent.
''Then what are real Progressive
Republicans to do? They cannot
consistently support Taft for two
reasons. He was not fairly and
honestly nominated and he does
not represent progressive principles,
or the sentiments Of the masses of
the people of the country. He is
reactionary himself, honestly, l be-
lieve, and with good intentions, but
worse than that, he is advised and
largely governed and controlled by
the worst class of trust magnates,
reactionaries of the privilege-seek-
ing class, and corrupt political ma
nipulators and bosses in the country
Roosevelt is equally impossible.
He is too new a convert to progress
sive principles to trust with the
leadership of new party if it's OBJ
ject is to advance and maintain
those principles. He has never
until row stood openly for progress

get votes. He has suddenly be-
come an advocate of woman suf-
frage because so many of them are
now voters and have become so
without his help. He never was
before.
His party is not founded on
principle but upon malice, revenge
and disappointed ambition. If he
had been nominated by the Repub
lican convention, the Republican par
ty would have been good enough
for him and he would have accepted
and welcomed the support of the
men in the party that he now de-
nounces so viciously.
His new party is being managed
in part and supported by as bad
trust promoters and corrupt politi-
cal bosses as those he accuses, and
if elected it will not be by Pro-
gressives' votes, but by the help of
those who care nothing for progress
sive principles.
Wilson is real and sincere Pro-
gressive. He has proved it by his
course and conduct as a public Off
Ger and as a candidate He is run
ming on a sane progressive plat
form.
Nothing of benefit to progress
sive principles or honest politics can
be gained by voting for either Taft
or Roosevelt. The best service Pro-
gressive Republicans can render to
their party, and to their country,
under these unfortunate circumstan-
ces, is to vote for Wilson. 1t will
help to teach dishonest manipula-
tors of politics wholesome lesson.

sham Progressive party, by men
who assumed to be its leaders,a

Liberal, Kansas is the center OF
the largest broom corn district In
America. The crop is by far the
most important single industry IN
the territory adjacent to the town,
bringing into the pockets of produc-
ers annually from 100000 to near
" one million dollars. BY reason
of fortunate location and good rail-
road facilities, Liberal has long been
the marketing point for the broom
corn from sections sixty to seventy
miles distant, and instances are not
rare OF growers driving to market
even farther than That with load
of brush. AS the broom corn mar
keted here is drawn from such a
large territory, naturally there is
great variation in the quality 1t has
been said that buyers find in Liberal
the best, as we'll as some of the poor
est broom corn grown in the South
west.
Liberal is at the extreme south
western border of Kansas, three or
four miles from the Oklahoma PAN
handle, and about seventy miles east
OF the Colorado line. 1t draws
broom corn from Seward, Stevens,
Morton and Grant counties, Kan
sas; Baca county, Colorado; Texas
and Beaver counties, Oklahoma; and
Lipscomb, Hansford and Ochiltree
counties, Texas. Towns south OF
Liberal. like Hooker. Guymon, Good
we'll and Texhoma, also draw on the
same territory in Oklahoma and
Texas, and there is local market
at each of these points, but Liberal
il the governing market for the en-
tire territory. Many growers at re-
mote points, though nearer the
smaller markets, drive to Liberal
with their product. During the past
fall as many as ITO wagon loads
we're brought in on single day.
Broom corn is peculiarly adapted
to the needs of the homesteader re-
mote from the railroad, and there
is no other crop that he can haul
such long distances to market and
for which he can get cash so readily
as broom corn. The man owning
only one team who attempts to haul
wheat so or 60 miles by wagon loses
his profit in the long haul. Many a
homesteader, however, comes to
town with a ton and half, or even
two tons of broom corn in one load
and drives home with two or three
hundred dollars in his pocket, Easy
cash Is one of the reasons of the
popularity Of the crop, and, at the
same time, one of the temptations
that has led many homesteader to
financial loss, because of poor meth
DDS and inexperience in handling the
crop.

is considered that Dwarf is far bet
er adapted to the region than
standard. 1t is claimed that seed
breeders in the Illinois district have
only lately been giving attention to
Dwarf seed, and that that is one
'eason why the seed in the Liberal
district has been allowed to run
down, the growers depending almost
entirely on the home product. In
the last two years, however, it has
been possible to obtain as pure
strain of Dwarf seed as Of the
Standard, and during the present
spring considerable new seed will go
into the Liberal district.
c. D. Gasaway suggests that the
manufacturers, dealers and brokers
should combine in an offer of pre-
miums of considerable sums for the
best baled, seeded and handled lot
of broom corn He believes that
this would be a means of stimulat-
ing growers to better efforts. 1t is
estimated that the cost of producing
ton of broom corn in this district,
figuring on five acres to the ton, is
about $35, the haul to market not
included A glance at prices paid
during the past few years indicates
that even with only moderate care,
the growers have made money.
Prices paid at Liberal in the last few
years have been as follows: 1911,
$50 to $3.50 per ton, with exceptional
loads bringing 5000; 1910, $40 to
$40; 1909. $50 to $3.50; 1908, $40
to $780, 1907. the year of the

and when harvest time comes, they
cannot get sufficient labor to handle
the crop expeditiously. Some grow
ers adopt the plan OF shocking the
corn after it is pulled and piling Tod
der around the brush. This is al
most as effective as shed curing, ana
costs somewhat less,

Here are some figures showing the
commercial Importance of the crop
in the Liberal district: Total num-
Der of carloads for the 1911 crop Is
conservatively estimated at 525 cars.
Up to February LIST, with about 800
cars shipped out, there had been
distributed among the growers near
ly 100000. There were at the date
about 100 cars in the warehouses at
Liberal, and 25 to 80 cars still in
hands of growers,
Shipments covering the 1910 crop
amounted to S25 cars, but the prices
were so much lower that season that
the total revenue to the growers did
not foot up over $75O,O0O.
Liberal has storage capacity for
100 carloads, and the Liberal Ware
house & Storage Company, con-
Germ organized by Liberal merchants
for the purpose Of stimulating the
industry, has proved very valuable
as convenience to both growers and
buyers. The company owns two
warehouses and there is also third
warehouse in the town. The COM
pany has 10 feet of loading plat
form on Rock Island sidetrack,
fronting its warehouses. Growers
can bring in their product, and, if
the market is not satisfactory, they
can store the broom corn at nomi-
nal rate per bale, as long as they de-
sire. While in storage the corn can

White, living sixteen miles east Of
Liberal, got $4,000 off 1O5 acres.
These results, in a season like 1911.
when there was an unprecedented
drought, indicate the great drought
resistant qualities of broom corn.
The crop needs little rain, but it de-
mands good cultivation.
What is needed in order to brinf
the quality of broom corn from this
district up to where it should be?"
This question, put to growers and
buyers, brought out replies that are
summed up in the following;
Poor seed is the chief trouble.
Too many growers go to the trash
pile to get their seed, That means,
they use the immature seed that is
combed out of the brush in harvest
ing. The result is that this seed,
in order to get any stand at all,
must be planted very thickly. Plant
ing, as ordinarily practiced in the
district, makes use of one bushel to
90 to % acres. With good seeda bush
Is is ample to seed so acres. Good
seed can be dropped fifteen to twenty
inches apart in the row for good
stand Of broom corn. Poor seed is
strewn along thickly and often not
one-tenth of the seeds terminate.
Growers in this district prepare
their ground with the lister and
plant with a corn planter in the lis
ter rows. Cultivation should begin
