DEMOCRATS WANT
 FREE SUGAR

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2.-"The Democratic party is committed to free sugar and if it is successful at the polls we may expect as one of it's first legislative acts the passage of a bill to admit sugar duty free at our ports of entry,' says president Taft in a let ter to Crawford Hill, of Denver.
 Democratic orators may talk until their throats are hoarse and of their interest in the American farmer, but the fact remains that in March of this year the governing tariff body of the Democratic party, the Demo cratic members of the ways and means committe, by unanimous vote passed the bill to place sugar on the free list and this bill was passed by Demo cratic house.
 Our present crop of sugar consti-

OO0,000 annually and by reducing the worlds production by nearly 1,OOO,- 900 tons ayear raise the price of sugar to the consumer Permanently lower prices for sugar in the United States and freedom from European speculative markets can only be se- cured by producing our sugar under the American flag.
 If the United States should abel ish the duty on sugar it would stand alone among civilized nations as the only sugar producing country with sugar on the free list. The production of beet sugar has tendency to keep down the price of sugar to the con- sumer. Free sugar would force the suspension of our beet sugar factor ies, for they would not only be forced to compete with cheap foreign fac tories, but they would be under the further handicap imposed by a bounty of 72 cents per 10 Opounds of sugar shipped to the United States from Russia, the second largest best sugar country in the world I car. not believe that the intelligent voters

of your state are willing to put the with the peasants of Russia on these terms.
 Development of West.
 Permit me to say word also with regard to another subject in which Colorado and other neighboring states are interested. Your great western country needs development. It must have men and capital and it must be able to offer inducement to attract both. The Republican party does not would tie up our national resources and deny their use to the legitimate homesteader, miner and capitalist.
 We are holding the part of the domain that has coal, phosphate and oil until congress shall make provis- ions for it's disposition by lease on profitable terms to privaet capital with the retention of sufficient title in the government to control and pre- vent monopoly in ownership and con- sequent exhorbitant charge to the pub lie for these commodities. The prob- lem which the Republican party is solving is how to save and how to utilize, how to conserve and still de. that it is for the common good that natures blessings are only for unborn generations.

REPRESENTATIVES, IN CONGRESS

tuteS 15 per cent of the entire annual consumption of the United States. We have 71 beet sugar factories in 1G states, Colorado and Michigan leading with IF factories each. Thousands of American farmers are engaged in the cultivation of the sugar beet and the factories which buy their product em ploy about 25,JOO men.
 Protection for Consumers.
 The Republican party stands for adequate protection of the beet sugar industry. Such protection is in the in terest of the United States treasury. it contributes to the growth of O Y national policy of irrigation and re, clamation and it is the shiled of the American consumer against an in- creased price for household neces- sity.
 Free sugar cannot De defended from any angle. It is in conflict with the theory of a tariff for revenue only and it's effect would be to make al most certain the monopolistic controi of a great industry It would diminish the revenue of the government $59

 umn With Increased Vote.

Every precinct in the county re- turned a democratic plurality with Clifton in the lead with more than two hundred The Wilson-Marshal vote iE Greenlee County was 663, Roose- welt next with 2S5, Socialists thir1 with 122 and the Republicans bring Ing up the rear with 109.

Kelly, President of the Clifton Democratic Club, assisted by the a. tive members of the Club and Central Committee. The democrats wage1 the most. vigorous and enthusiastic campaign ever witnessed in this cour- ty and there was no cessation of ac- tivlties until the polls closed on Noy- einber 9th.

SHERIFF JOHN PATTY SUES BOARD 0F
 SUPERVISORS

Sheriff Patty this week filed suit against the Board of Supervisors of Greenlee County to compel them to nay the salary as fixed for the sher- ifs office last February.
 As the result of a decision rendered
 'y Judge Laine last month in the case of Hon. Ben M. Crawford, Clerk of rt,a Superior Court, vs. the Board of Supervisors, to compel the Board to pay to him the salary for his office, es fixed by the last Legislature, the Board placed all salaried officers, in. c!uding the Sheriff, upon the salaries as fixed by the Legislature. This a,:tion on the part of the Board re- duced the salary of the sheriff $90O per annum. Sheriff Patty is in receipt of ar opinion from the Attorney General q. the State which holds that the Poard had no right to change his sal ary, and the act of the Legislature is not effective, so far as the sheriff is concerned, during his present term of office.
 The suit against the Board is a friendly suit and for final settlement will be appealed to the Supreme court of the state.
