WATSON AN ISSUE

And the Watson state head
quarters are still preaching the
false doctrine that Senator Wat
son is not an issue in the present
campaign in West Virginia. No
body believes that. Watson is
running as candidate in this
campaign to succeed himself and
would be a leading issue if he had
not benefited by bribed legisla-
turs, AS it stands, he is the live
lest and most important kind Of
an issue. The honest, incorruptible
citizens of West Virginia be-
longing to all parties have an ac-
count to settle with Clarence
Watson and they are going. to set
tie it at the polls next November
by slecting a Republican legisla-
ture. There will not be the
slightest chance of his getting
back to the senate then.

Mr.. George A. Laughlin,
wheeling, W. Va.
Dear Sir:
am so impressed with the crisis
facing our First West Virginia district
that feel compelled to address you
on the subject.
Nobody who gives the matter prac-
teal consideration can dispute the
fact that the tin plate industry
has been developed entirely on
protective tariff basis; while the
industry has gradually grown strong
er yet it has not reached the point
where we can compete with the cheap
labor of Europe. The protection ~
as afforded by the Underwood bill
would make it possible for foreign
plates to control our markets and we
would see an enormous development
abroad. and entirely at the expense
of the American industry. My own
company would Immediately lose a
large and growing tonnage on the
Pacific coast, and our Clarksburg
rlant would suffer first as they are
the chief shippers to that territory
Now, then, the question is: Why
should the present condition be dis
turbed? 1t is beyond dispute that
the 6,1OO employees in the tin mills in
the First district are prosperous,
happy and contented; they work
under good conditions and are ben
eft to the community at large Go
abroad and the conditions are just
the reverse.
Now why should any practical
reasoning man who has the interests
of his district and his country at
heart want to change the conditions?
There is no use of going into lot
of statistics, because the situation is
so clear and apparent that 1t is only
the blind theorist that cannot see.
Do we want to throw the employees
out of work? Do We want to cut
their wagesi Do we want to de-
crease their buying power? II so
subscribe to the theories of the party
and the men who have had no prac-
tical experience, the men whose bread
and butter will not be affected. II
We want the present prosperity and
expansion in the First district, II we
want high wages, steady employment
and prosperous labor, then let vel.

FOUGHT INVESTIGATION

Lorimer introduced the resolu-
ton asking the Senate to investi-
gate the charges against him.
Watson and Chiffon never did
anything of that kind. From the
very hour of their corrupt cleo
ton they have fought to prevent
any investigation, bringing to
bear on their behalf all the pow
erful influence at their command,
and the expenditure of large
sums of money to prevent the
probe that the people of West
Virginia have demanded for
nearly two years should be in
serted in their case. Is it reason
able to think that if they were in
nocent Of the charges that they
would have assumed and main
tanned that attitude? Hardly.

is DEMOGRACYs SUICIDE PiNDING2'

IS Democracy's Suicide Pending?" That question
was asked by the Carksburg Exponent January a.
Inc Exponent as shown by its own utteranees based

United States Senate and the Exponent deeara rob

ON1TED STATES SENATE, WOULD BE FAR MORE
DEClSlVE AND DISASTROUS. ~
such foresight was extraordinary for newspaper

oeeve that Chiffon is ideal leader and great senator

watson were known constany staring it in the face
reproVng for it's reckless and wanon departure from it's
former utterances and well taken position Read what
SAID about Chiffon and the Democratic party and YOU will
agree from the present situation that the Expones first
expressions were actually prophetic for what it then go
is coming to pass and the party suicide will be complete
when the polls close November 5:
Our information from Charleston is to the effect that
William e. Chiffon of Kanawha county, has more votes
pledged to him for the election of SCOTS seat than has any
other asprant for the senatorial oga although is stated
that he decidedly lacks majority of the Democratic
members Of the House and Senate.
1t is difficult to believe that majority of the Demo
Gratis who were elected last November to tn peo
pie OF West Virginia, will regard themselves as commits
stoned to send to the United States Senate man who so
nearly approaches the cabre of Nathan Bay Scott does
William Chiffon, OF KanaWha county who is best known
as the political manager and political boss of that county
and OF the Southern portion of the state.
Surely, the people of West Virginia are not indebted
in any of the word to William E. Chiffon They owe
him nothing Consequently, there is no reason why he
should be given the highest office within the gift of the peo
pie.
As for the Democracy of West Virginia, it would
to be military party under the leadership Of Chill
ton The Reputation and overthrow of the Democratic
party, with William E. Chiffon as the man they had sent
to the United States Senate would be far decisive
and disastrous than the recent overthrow of Repub

Sixteen years of first-class gov
eminent in West Virginia and
not an act OF scandal, neglect, in
competence or failure to apollo
gize or make excuse for. That
is the happy situation of the Re
publican party. Contrast that
record with the Democratic
party, which was given control Of
the legislature two years ago.
Was there anything more scan
dalous, ncglcctful, inefficient, un-
successful, corrupt, criminal and
rotten than that legislature OF
1911 controlled by the representa-
tives OF the Democratic party? 1t
is high time that the honest, de-
cent and lawabiding citizens OF
West Virginia think deeply and
seriously on these matters.

which gives great advantage in dealing with the natives, who are chiefly the owners of herds and ran- ches, whence come the great ship ments of cattle that are crossing the line constantly to find markets in the United States.
 While conducting a general com mission business MT. Bowman will make a speciality of lands, cattle and fertilizers. Some of the most pro- minent and important herdman in Sonora have listed their cattle with him to find purchasers, and he has listed also a number of large tracts of land suited admirably for the foundation of large cattle compa- nies. In the United States many cattlemen are being driven out of business by the extension of home steads out into the free range coun- try, or they ate seeking other graz ing grounds in Mexico, where they may continue in the business with out danger of being compelled to move on, as has been their experi- ence at home. Mr., Bowman is in a position to present to alfsnch i'm. portant opportunities for acquisi- tion of large land grants that would be ideal grounds for growth of great cattle companies.
 The office is in the new Ephraim building, on Morley avenue, Noga' les, Arizona, and letters addressed 10 w. G. Bowman < Co.,, P. O. boz No. 92, will receive prompt atten ton, with real results.
 Beside the land and cattle com mission business the firm will con duct a custom house brokerage, MT Bowman's long experience in tha line qualifying him in an eminen degree to look out for all consign ments sent in most satisfactor, manner.

From that place Mr. Powers went to Minas Prietas and was employed there as fore- man blacksmith under the Chand- Ter x Price regime in that camp. ln the same employment he went next ta Santa Barbara, Chihuahua, where he went in a like position in the Tecolote mine.
 In 1884 Mir. Powers returned to the HarShaw region, and with Mir. Richard Farrell, yet a resident of Harshaw, he engaged in mining in that vicinity. Since that time the gentleman has made his home at Harshaw or in the vicinity of Pata. gonia, which two places are but ten miles apart.
 The mines first operated by MT. Powers and his associates were the Bluenose and the American, which properties yielded very richly in high grade ores, of which they ship ped as high as eleven carloads monthly.

in the Patagonia and Santa Rita mountains.
 Upon the north side of the Santa Rita mountains, in the Helvetia district, Pima county, MT. Powers has the Sweet Bye and Bye, a valuable copper property embrac- ing number of claims upon which there has been done considerable development work exposing goodly ore bodies. Upon that property MT. Powers has given recently a working bond and lease to Messrs Joseph Muheim and Charles Jones both of Bisbee, and they are to sink double compartment shaft to a depth of 500 feet, with extensive underground workings in addition.
 In the Tyndal district in the Santa Rita mountains, Mir. Powers holds an interest with Messrs T. M. Heck and Frank Reichert in the Bland group of mines, on which ex- tensive development has opened large and valuable ore bodies. As stated elsewhere a valuable dev- elopment of zinc has been made.
 Another fine property owned by MT. Powers is the Dixie, which is also in the Santa Rita mountains, not far from the August mine, call- ed some times the Hosey camp.
 In the Patagonia mountains Mir. Powers, with MT. Farrell, holds an interest in the Trench mines, group that has a fine record as producers in former years. The property has been optioned recent ly to former Senator w. A. Clark of Montana, owner of the famous Jerome mines in northern Arizona. Upon the title page of this number there is fine half-tone engraving of the Trench. made from photo graph that was taken when the mine was in operation. It is under stood that in the near future Sen ator Clark will commence work at
 the Trench, and it is believed that 1t will turn out one of the great
 mines of Southern Arizona. It is
 in the vicinity of the Worlds Fair
 mine. With Mir. E. E. Bethell, ot

 years MT. Beebe has been conversant with and ob- servant of the possibilities of South ern Arizona.
 Within the past two years the gentleman has visited several times most all of the valleys and table lands in Southern Arizona, between the Chiricahui Mountains, near the New Mexico line, and the Mohawk range, in the vicinity of the Colo rado river, viz; Sulphur Spring, San Pedro, San Rafael, Santa Cruz, Altar, Baboquivari, Quijotoa, and the Santa Rosa Valleys, with sew eral smaller valleys, and the table lands of the Huachuca, Whetslone and Santa Rita Mountains, and Camille Hills, travelling distance of more than four thousand miles, studying carefully and inspecting thoroughly the progress and results attained by the settlers, and the products grown by the Papago In. dians, who cultivated many of the valleys named long before the ad- vent of the Spanish conquistadores, and have maintained unremittingly such cultivation through several centuries.
 Mir. Beebe speaks very highly of the valleys named, in each of which there is a heavy growth of natural grass and various kinds of semi tropical trees and foliage, indicat- ing the extensive possibilities that may be realized under a system of cultivation, that are open to those who are able financially to take advantage of the splendid oppor- tunities offered. In his opinion a large portion of these lands are susceptible of development to a high state of cultivation and pro- ductiveness, and in many ways they surpass the older sections of California.
 Mir. Beebe and several of his re- latives selected land for their home steads in the Rain Valley, near Elgin, Santa Cruz County, and they are we'll pleased, having harvested good crops from the lands they cultivated, with the natural rain fall only, and are preparing to plov and plant five hundred acres thii coming year.
 Mir. Beebe has assisted many peo pie in getting homes in these valleys and on adjacent table lands, an( judging from the many township plats, County maps, State maps and maps issued by the Depart ment of Agriculture and Forest Re serve Service, that he has accumul ated it would not be exaggeratior to assert that he is prepared to aiC many more new corners in secur ing good locations upon the publi domain in the valleys and upon thu mesas surrounding that have beer mentioned in these lines: for tn Department of the Interior ha
