Opposed to Free Sugar.

SPpCSCd 10 Ffce SuSdFs
c. r Whitaker. secretary OF the So
ciety of Equity for the State OF Min
nesota, has been asked to call a con-
ference of the Minnesota society Of
ficials to protest against the free sugar
bill now pending in the senate af-
ter having been passed by the house.
The action is due to an appeal from.
Secretary Tubbs of tho Wis consin
State Society of Equity which has ia
ken strong action protesting ia behalf
of the beet growers of Wisconsin,
against reduction in the Tariff which
would wipe out the rapidly growing
beet sugar industry in America
The request from Wisconsin is of
Importance. because the president of
the Badger society which makes this
fraternal appeal. is also the national
president, Ira NJ. J. Chryst of Hudson,
thus evidencing that this great farm
ers' organization is againt the repeal
of the duty.
The Wisconsin appeal is backed up
by requests from farmers organiza.
tons in all parts of the west, including
most of the seventeen states where
sugar beets are grown. for Minnesota
farmers to bring pressure to bear upon
its congressman who voted In favor of
the sugar trust plan to demolish the
beet sugar independents opposition, to
show the congressman that the farm
er sentiment of their state is against
the abolition of the industry which
pays $100,000,000 year to American
farmers for their beet crops.

brought forth an encore and the gen.

badours that they are a company Of

Mr.. Bunker has Just returned from

England which he left nearly two

rived from the visit was not all that
he had anticipated. He found that
life in the shadow of Plymouth Rock
is bit tame compared with living In

family trees.
In New York among the crowds Of

found himself lonesome. The sight
of few familiar faces he considers
many times more interesting than Z
multitude of strangers.
Mr.. Bunker has always been one Of

FUSION

Supreme Court Decided a
Candidate May haveNanle
On Several Tickets

Western Press
DENVER, Oct. 9.-The supreme
court this morning decided that can
didates for office may be- named on
as many tickets as possible for them
to get on.
The decision was given in the case
from Fremont county, in which Au-
gustus Pease, Democratic nominee for
district judge, sought to prevent the
placing of the name of Charles A.
Witkin on the ballot as Bull Moose
candidate for reelection. Witkin was
nominated in the Republican primary
election. Pease contended he must
be Republican only, although given the
Null Moose Endorsement after the pri-
mary election. The supreme court de-
cided in favor of Witkin, and this also
settles the question of whether tickets
can be fused in this state in the COM
ing election.

REPUBLICANS NOT FOR WILSON

Early in the campaign It appeared
that small per cent Of the Repub-
licans would go over into the Demo-
cratic camp for the purpose of making
it certain that Roosevelt would be de-
feated. Then it appeared to many
that there was a chance for the cleo
tion Of Roosevelt and this they did
not want and preferred to vote for
wilson instead.
Later in the campaign it became
apparent that Roosevelt would not be
elected and as soon as that became
evident those Republicans who had
decided to vote for Wilson changed
their minds and decide to cast their
votes for Taft an elect him.
The logic Of the situation Is plain.
Should a number of the Republicans
support Wilson they would thereby
reduce the Republican vote and cause
the Progressive party to take place
above the Republican party and be
considered the party opposing the
Democrats instead Of the Republican
party. This would encourage the
Progressives and discourage the Re-
publicans by causing them to take
third place, should Wilson win. Re-
alizing this all Republicans will vote
the Republican ticket.
