him he would raise the hottest kind
of a row If Rosewater tried any sharp
practices in getting the convention
under way. Roosevelt's Intention. as

SUGAR MAcNAre ron WILSON

Rudolph Spreckles. the great
sugar magnate of San. Francisco,
visited Washington City with the
view of comforting with other re-
publicans who intend to vote for
Woodrow Wilson for president.
Mr.. Spreckles will form a Wilson
National Progressive Republican

fight for progressive principles.
In speaking of his position MI.
Spreckles said:
II have given many years OF
my time and support to the pro-
gressive republican cause and to
honest effort to eliminate politi-
cal bosses and bring about the
establishment of a just and truly
representative government and
shall continue to make that fight
within my party, but ! feelit my
duty to support Gov. Wilson at
the coming election, believing it
to be the only proper course left
open for one who is sincerely in

progressive legislation in our ma

The Cotton Crop OF 191l-19l2.

Statistics compiled by Secre-
tary Hester of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange places the cot
ton crop of last year at 16, 1885,
426 bales. This exceeds the pre-
vious year by over four million
bales and shows a large over pro-
duction. While there were four
million bales more raised, the
money value was $107. OLA, 1926
less than last years crop. The
grade was the lowest Of any crop
for the past ten years. The to-
tai value of the crop was $780,
$50. 764.

When purchasing a $1,000 suit
the voter pays $500 bounty to
the manufacturer of the cloth
out of which it is made if the
suit is made of wooden goods.
This bounty goes to the manu-
facturer through the operation
of the tariff law. If this voter
earns a dollar a day then it re-
quires four days labor on his
part to secure the extra four dol
lars to satisfy the tariff baron.
His government that enacts and
maintains such a law robs him of
four days of his life which should
go to the support of himself, his
family and the local institutions
which have a claim upon him.

The latest report given out by
the democratic campaign COM
mittee places the number of con-
tributors to the democratic cam
paign fund at IL, 900, with a to-
tai of SITS, 900. This amount is
wholly inadequate TO meet the
demand of the party and unless
the people are more liberal in
their contributions the campaign
will fail for lack of financial sup
port. With the Morgans and
Perkins behind MI. Roosevelt
and the Rockefellers and other
allied interests supporting Taft,
the opposition parties will not
lack for funds. With the re-
publicans and progressives it is
an investment from which good
returns are expected when a do
nation is made to their party's
campaign funds. The people of
the Southern states are directly
interested in the result of this
election and their contributions
should come from every home in
the South.
The Tupelo journal., 1912-09-13

Present indications favor the
election Of the democratic presi-
dental ticket. Only by a mis-
take or mistakes in the manage
ment Of the campaign or the lack
of funds with which to prose-
cute the campaign can the dem
ocrats lose. Mistakes can be
made only by the leaders of the
party; the lack of funds is due
to the failure of the PEOPLE at
large to respond to the call of
the campaign manager. Every
democrat should go at least his
dollar to help along the cause.
The republican party makes a de-
mand for more than this every
month in the year for every man,
woman and child in the country
through the robber tariff. W.
pay il without a protest. Now is
the time to place the government
in the hands Of the party who
believe in a tariff for revenue
only and a government econom.-
cally administered.

Seattle High Plays Baby;
No Grounds for Complaint

On account of the omission of
the SO yard dash and the relay
race, the Broadway High school
has declared that it was robbed of
the meet Saturday in the sta
dunn.
Coach Comstock refutes the
statement absolutely. He declares
that he sent out a circular letter
April II, giving the list of events
for points, and emitting the two
above mentioned events. The
so yard dash is not part of a
meet. he claims, only one inter-
scholastic meet having included
it In recent years.
During the seven weeks be-
tween the announcing of the
events and the meet no objection
to the program was raised. Now
Borleske of Broadway Is the only
kicker. Comstock believes he
went to sleep on the job, as he
never told his men about the let

Young Jack O'Brien has jumped
into the first-rater class of the
lightweight division as a result of
his showing against Champion AID
Wolgast in six round bout here.
At the end the advantage, if any,
was with the champion, but for
the most part the bout was very
even. O'Brien was far the clev-
erer, but his blows lacked sting,
while Wolgast made his opponent
vince when he landed on the
body. O'Brien showed speed,
which at times had the champion
at sea. In the second round VOL
CAST dropped the Philadelphia
for the count of nine, but O'Brien
was up and fighting at his usual
clip again before the gong.
