The Western Electric Company
has issued its semi-annual state
ment and 1t shows this will be the
company's banner year. The esti-
mate of the years business was put
at sec, 100000 and the Indications
are that it will be surpassed. The
first six months show a two per
cent gain over last year and this in
spite of the fact that the first
three months showed a loss. The
gains are distributed over the en-
tire country and show a substantial
Improvement in the situation every
where. The gain for June is ten
per cent.
The Western Electric Co. is one
of the largest users of copper in
the country. but 1t is against its
policy to speculate in the metal.
In other words, it buys its copper
only to cover actual requirements
in sight and never carries more than
nominal stock of the metal. Spring
and fan are the corporations big
seasons, the summer months show
ing a slackening, though not to
the extent of most manufacturing
lines.

of the United States.


The Republican party has the
integrity, wisdom and courage to
meet all issues and problems in
our governmental affairs and to
settle them properly and wisely
in the interest of the whole peo-
pie.
The Republican party of Colo
rado Is now, as 1t always has been,
a constituent part of the Republican
party of the United States as now
defined and recognized by the
national platform of the Republican
party. The party has always well
coined Within it's ranks the full
est and freest discussion of all
public questions and by such free
dom of discussion has developed
spirit of progress enabling 1t to
meet and solve safely for the peo-
pie every question at the proper
time. In this spirit this assmebly
extends an invitation to all loyal
citizens to Join in promoting the
welfare and advancement of the
people through the Republican
party.
We admonish the voters of Col
orado that the proper protection of
the Industries of this state can on
ly be hoped for through the ef-
forts of senators and representa-
tives in congress who believe in
protective tariff as an economic
principle adapted to the needs of
tne whole nation, and we condemn
the Democratic representatives
of Colorado in congress for sacrific-
ing the industrial interests of this
state for political and partisan pur.
roses.
We heartily commend the Hon.
Simon Guggenheim for his efficient
and admirable discharge of his dtu-
les as United States senator from
Colorado. Has careful and intelii-
gent supervision OF national iegis-
iation affecting all the industries
of this state has marked him as a
statesman of sincere loyalty to the
peope and wisdom of high charac,
ter.
We condemn the extravaganza.
inefficiency and incompetency of
the past two Democratic state ad-
ministrations. Democratic officials
assumed charge of the affairs of
this state with a full treasury and
are now leaving the treasury in a
depleted condition. We pledge the
Republican party to an economical.
honest and business-like admins
tration of public affairs.
Inasmuch as the laws of Colo
RADIO now provide that the plat
form of the party shall be announc-
ed by its nominees at the general
primary election, this assembly does
hereby pledge those charged with
this duty to the adoption of a
declaration of principles which
will without equivocation or evas-
ion meet and state the position of
the Republican party upon every
vital issue now confronting the
people of Colorado.

twelfth annual Prowers county
fair less than two weeks off the
outlook for the best fair ever held
is especially bright. The fair is
to be four days. August 2O-23 in
elusive.
In the line of amusement attrac-
tiOns the pleasure loving public will
be bOuntifully supplied. Secretary
Chas. Maxwell has arranged for
aerOplane flights each and every
day of the fair. The flights last
year were a grand success as every
one present can testify. and this
year the same company. the E.
Linn Mathewson Auto Co. of Dem
yer is furnishing the machine.
and has also promised to send Geo.
Thompson. the same aeronaut who
made the flights last year. This one
attraction wall draw thousands OF
people to Lamar for the fair and
they will be more than repaid.
AS usual the Santa Fe racing
circuit will furnish the races. This
guarantees an excellent racing pro-
gram. On August End the entries
for the harness races were closed
and at total OF seventy-five horses
have been entered. This Is the
greatest number of race horses ever
entered for the harness races in
a Prowers county fair. Last year
there were sixty-two entries. The
seventy-five entries will mean that
there will be from twelve to sixteen
horses in every harness race.
The merchants of Lamar have ar
ranged for a big carnival company
to give a street fair in Lamar every
night of fair week. With this. the
three theaters and the big public
dance at the Hub. certainly no one
can possibly complain of dull
evening. for there will be some
thing doing every minute.
AS Prowers county is having an
exceptionally prosperous year in
its crops. the agricultural display
promises to be better than ever
If that can be possible. The live
stock exhibits for the first time
will be judged by men of national
reputation.
The Prowers county fair grounds
are the most beautiful natural
grounds in the state. and this year
is no exception. A gang of work
men have completed all necessary
repairs and the buildings will look
their best.
Everybody is coming to the Prov
ers county fair this year. Don't be
a piker. Join the crowd. You will
have the time of your life.
Fair Notes
All lovers of good horse racing
will be pleased to learn that over
seventy entries have been made
for the six harness races as provid-
ed on this years racing program
While some of the familiar horses
will be present, to the pleasure OF
local friends. yet many new horses
of splendid racing ability will greet
the large crowds that are sure to
attend this years fair. Were II
not for the fact that Dodge City
holds its fair the same week as oul
local fair the entries would have
been at least ninety.

dates with two to be selected at
the primaries. Other Republican
candidates can get on the primary
ballot by filing petitions with the
secretary of state signed by 800
or more persons.
The assembly was a Taft gather
ing from start to finish. 1t was
composed of Taft men throughout
and at no time was there any at
.empt to insert a Roosevelt fight
into it's deliberations. The men
lion of the presidents name al
ways brought forth generous ap-
plause. 1t was attended by ap-
proximately 500 of the 9O2 dele
gates selected. 1t was proven con-
clusively that it is impossible to
hold an assembly and to also nom
mate by primary election when can
didates for the primary need on
ly receive ten per cent of the total
vote in the assembly. or when
they can get on the primary ballot
by securing a petition signed by
500 resident voters. The ten per
cent feature completely eliminated
all contests before the assembly as
almost any one can secure that
amount in any convention. With
the contests eliminated. the inter
est in the gathering naturally sub
sided. What is true of this as
sembly. will be true of all. Either
the state must adopt straight
Urinary law with no assembly feat
ure or else 1t must nominate
through conventions. So long as
the primary law. which. by the
way. is a product of democracy. re-
mains as 1t now Is, 1t will be a
farce and a failure.
Clifford Parks, the nominee for
the Republican primary for gov
ernor, is of the personal opinion
that no legal attempt should be
made to keep the Stewart people
from going on the Republican pri-
mary ballot by petition. Follow
ing his nomination, Mr.. Parks said:
II certainly hope that no at
tempt will be made to keep Mr..
Stewart off the Republican pri-
mary ballot. Personally. do not
see how he can morally support the
national candidate of the Progress
sive party and still want to secure
a nomination for any position on
the Republican ticket. But II he
feels that he can do this. under
our primary law as 1t now exists
do not want any attempt made to
keep his name off the Republican
primary ballot. feel that I can

this fall. If / cannot win the pri-
mary election against him. 1 cer-
tainly cannot win the November
election. And I might as well find
out in September as November just
how I stand with the people. OF
course. this is only my personal
opinion. have not consulted the
organization or the other candi-
dates, but so far as I am concerned

that he can morally have his name

of the Santa Fe to run a special
train from Pueblo to Lamar on
Thursday. Aug. 22d. This train
will leave Pueblo about o'clock
in the morning and make stops at
all stations on the main line of the
Santa Fe to Las Animas. There the
train will be diverted to the Ar
kansas valley line and reach La
mar about IL O'Clock. The flight
of the airship will occur immediate
ly upon the arrival of this special
train. This ride over the A. v.
line from Las Animas to Lamar will
prove an interesting trip to those
living up the valley OF content and
no doubt will induce many to at

j. ii. jenkins. general secretary
1-the Pueblo Commerce Club has
advised the fair officials that the
Manufacturers Bureau of the club
will have a splendid exhibit at
the fair this year. Already space
has been allotted to them and they
promise to outdo their efforts OF
a year ago. Pueblo has many warn
friends in Prowers county andtheir
exhibit will be viewed with inter
est and enthusiasm.
Fred A. Deverman is busy these
days arranging for the exhibits to
be made by the Boys and Girls
clubs. Quite healthy rivalry is
being manifested between the May
Valley. Sugardale and Enterprise
clubs and all will be surprised to
see the show the boys and girls
will make in their special parade
on Aug. 23rd This day has been
set aside also as Children's day and
all children under the age of IA
years will be admitted to the fair
grounds on that day. Don't fail
to see the coming farmers of Prov
ers county in their parade on that
day.
Mr.. Chas Spencer of the thriving
town of Wiley says that the Wiley
Commercial club is busy getting to-
gether a fine display of farm pro-
ducts to bring to the fair. Surely
no better year could be chosen to
collect an exhibit that would dem.
onstrate the wonderful fertility OF
the Big Bend country.

committee of the fair. Just lister

SOCIALISTS IN GERMANY

A considerable increase of social
ist party strength, both representa-
tive and popular, WAS expected be-
fore the elections of the 18th, and
when these came off those expec-
tations were not disappointed.
The popular vote for that party is
estimated as having amounted in
the aggregate to 100000 and the
election returns reported on the
18th from Berlin showed that the
party had won 81 seats by the req
uisite vote of a complete popular
majority and will have the right at
the forthcoming second elections
to contest 100 more, their candi-
dates having been either at the
head or second at the poll in that
number of the constituencies in
which no candidate got majority.
Where there is no majority of
the total vote a second election is
required.

BRYAN'S VIEWPOINT

William j. Bryan takes the side
of Governor Woodrow Wilson in
his break with Colonel Harvey and
Henry Watterson, and justifes the
action of the New Jersey governor
in requesting that his name be
withdrawn from the columns of
Harper's Weekly. In a letter sent
from the east, Bryan says:
"The recent break between Gov
ernor Wilson and Colonel Harvey
illustrates the impossibility of CO.
operation between men who look
at public questions from different
points of view. Colonel Harvey
became supporter of Mr.. Wilson
when he was selected as the demo-
cratic candidate for governor of
New Jersey and he continued his
support when Governor Wilson
began TO De discussed as CanQl-
date for the presidency.
Should Wilson have pretended
that he thought that Colonel Har-
vey was helping him when he was
not? And why should Colonel
Harvey complain? If he really
favors Governor Wilson, he must
desire to aid him; why should he
be offended then at Governor Will
sons frankness? Is he more in
terested in being Known as the
man who made Governor Wilson
famous than in advancing Cover
nor Wilson's cause. ?"

THE DIFFERENCE

The Harmon organs throughout
the country are shouting in con-
cert that Governor Wilson is un-
grateful to the machine that picked
him up as popular candidate two
years ago and nominated and
elected him governor of New Jer-
sey. They find he is different
man than the college president
that was elected governor of Colo
RADIO. The Colorado schoolmaster
was not pledged, but after his
election he remembered his friends
in other words he was not migrate
full to the bosses "who made him
candidate and who elected him
governor"

During the past year the La
Jara district has demonstrated it's
adaptability to the raising of
sugar beets. In the fall of 1911,
100 acres of beets were harvested
The sugar content was high and
the tonnage very satisfactory for
the first year. The acreage is to
be more than doubled for the COM
ing season. There is, adjacent to
La Jara, a very large district of
excellent sugar beet land, which
the growers are not slow to appre-
ciate, Judging from the numerous
tracts that have been leased for the
