! is the statement OF the state man
ayers of the Bull Moose party, who.
the committee claims are interested in
the progressive party and have made
no agreements of any kind to support
other candidates.
"Statesments to the feet that there
had been a fusion of the regular re-
Ipublicans and the Bull Moosers and
that the latter would support the reg
Iuar candidates were Indignantly de-
MED, The only interest of the pro-
gressive party in any candidates is in

TALLY claimed, will vote for Roosevelt
in the electoral college. The commit

in electing these men,
This is The official attitude This is
the face presented to the public. But
this statement and the resolutions
adopted at the meeting fail TO disclose
any opposition to the standpat repub-
licans on the county and state tickets.
The Third Term party is not fighting
the reelection of the two stand-pat re-
publican congressman. These stand
pat republican congressman are not
fighting the Third Term electoral
ticket. The Third Term committee
proclaims that it has no interest in
any other party or in any candidates
save the nine Third Term men on the
regular republican electoral ticket. 1t
is publicly Indifferent as to the result
of the congressional election in Okla
homa Publicly it is not concerned to
defeat the stand-pat republican con-
gressmen. confessedly ignoring the
fact that a progressive congress is as
important and necessary as progress
siye president This is a public bid
for the support of the stand-pat candi
dates and their followers, who are de
prived of an opportunity to vote for
Taft, since it is public assurance that
these stand-pat candidates need not
fear opposition at the hands of the
Third Term organization.
1t does not require a signed and
scaled contract to prove deal be-
tween the Third Termers and the
stand-patters. Even an amateur in
politics would quickly grasp the cir
cumstantial evidence in this case.
If the Third Termers are not play
ing politics with the stand-patters, If
they are not putting out a drag net to
catch everything they can for the third
term electors, even at the sacrifice of
principles in the congress
sional races why do they take the
pains to put out statement to the
public declaring unconcern and indif-
ference as to the result of the congress
sional contests?
If they and their Spartan" hero are
battling for the Lord" why, in the
name of political decency and the civic

fails has been exploded in this section
this season, but it is not the fault of
the corn nor yet of the land but of
the farmer who planted. Nearly every
farmer plants kaifir corn as an emer-

other crops have failed If this crop
were planted at the right time and in
the right way there would be few if
any failures, This year the kaiiir corn

Briggs, are trying to demonstrate is that static
electricity when applied to soil and air VIII
stimulate the growth Of plants in such environ
ment. There is ample evidence OF the sound
ness Of the theory within reasonable limits.
Indeed, the benefit that may be conferred oy
such electric discharges is illustrated by the
fourishing development (until frostbtten) OF
plants in the Arctic regions where there Is. OF
course mighty little sunlight, but where the at
mosphere is heavily charged with electricity.
Moreover preliminary experiments which were
recently conducted in England along the same
lines that Uncle Sam is pursuing indicated
that there was an increase of 30 to 40 per cent
in the yield of wheat that had been thus dosed
with electricity and the wheat likewise
brought better price per busbel after test
had evidenced that it was superior for bread
baking.
The officials of the department of agricul-
ture make it very clear that their present ven
ture in electroculture-as the new activity Is
termed-is purely experimental and they make
no prophecies as to just what they hope to
discover The interesting point is that they
are determined to find out just low much
electricity will do to aid the farmer. They
have made the most elaborate plans, too. for
measuring the influence exerted. To this end
the experimental area has been apprtioned In
fourteen plots Of uniform size and all have
been planted in the same good grade OF win
