iTO THE Democrats OF THE
FIRST CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT.

O1OI tt1OIs
Our party is now engaged in q
great struggle to gain CONTROL OF
the National Government, and
while the prospects for success are
bright, very bright, the battle can
not be fought without money to
pay the Legitimate expenses neces-
sary to carry on such campaign.
The expenses are necessarily great
on many accounts that need not
be specified. The only source
from which our party organization,
those whom we have placed In
charge of the campaign, can hope
to get money necessary to carry
on the campaign, is the great body
of the common people who will be
benefited by our success. Meth
er our candidates nor our positions
upon public questions appeal to
the favor seeking, priviled &c hunt.
ing class. We are fighting bat
tie for the people, and the people
should to The full extent of their
ability supply the necessary funds
to carry on the battle. Are we
Democrats in this great Dem ocrat-
ic District doing our duty? 1t is
not sufficient that We carry our
District overwhelmingly for the
nominees. We should aid to the
full extont of our ability to carry
the doubtful states and to carry
the doubtful states the campaign
must be carried on with vigor, and
to do so entails many necessary
but legitimate expenses. I appeal
to every Democrat in the District
to constitute himself d committee
of one to see to it that he himself
contributes literally according to
his means to the campaign fund
and to call on his neighbors and
arouse their interest in this matter
and to do at once. 1t is now only
little over five weeks till the cleo.

every Democrat to see to it that

are in a sense the party leaders,

A Mothers Love.

One Sunday morning, ayear
ago, a party of young men, stu
dents in law school, all of them
sons of Christian parents, start
ed ont TO grove TO spend the
sacred day in card playing and
wine drinking. AS they walked
along laughing and testing, a
church bell in the distance be-
gan TO ring. One of the men
named George stopped and told
his companions he was going
back to the village and to church
They sought to dissuade him but
he was firm. Then they gather
ed in a circle about him and
threatened to give him a cold
bath in the river. Quietly. calm

said, Il know you have power

she yielded and said | might go.

Pea Weevil Again

Notnlng recently has so agitated
the community as the shipment of
thirty tons of seed peas by San
francisco firm which were discov-
reed to be Infested with the pea
weevil. C. E. Flint, horticultural
inspector, with authority from the
Public Service Commission. came
1last Friday to investigate the mat
ter. After examination he found
their report true, and Immediately
notified the seed company that they
must release San Juan farmers from
their contracts t., plant them, 4 and
must take them away or they would
be condemned and destroyed. Mr..
IL. w. Vanderyacht. who secured
the contracts from the farmers, as
sured them that tt e company desired
to take no advantage, and would
certainly do the right thing in TIE
matter.
4 Pending the arrival of represen-
tativc direct from the house, the
question has been discussed from
many sides. Some. pho at first
thought it would be calamity to
have the peas planted, have been
willing to go ahead with their
agreements, while others still be-
lieve it would be a dangerous mat
ter and object to any being planted.
The question Of fumigating. for the
purpose of killing the animal life
was much talked, with no definite
conclusions
4 Mr.. Flint, while here, examined
packages which are on sale at our.
stores from eastern seed houses,
and found them infested in the same
way. and one or two of the farmers
who have hitherto raised this kind
and noted results, insist that the
weevil does not propagte itself in
this climate.
/ Wednesday of this week Mr.. O.
L. Coulter. representing the. San
Francisco house, put in an appear
ance but could do nothing more
than to say that his company had
no thought of foisting infested peas
on the farmers of San Juan county
and that if they did not want them
they would be taken away. He re-
gretted that matters had assumed
their present state, and considered
it unforanate that greater know
ledge had not been secured before
prejudice had been engendered and
drastic measures taken. He feels
1 that the farmers have missed a
splendid opportunity. and cites in
stances where much smaller COM
munities are reaping net profits of
fifty thousand year from peas
alone.
| Mr.. Coulter states decidedly that
the weevil will not thrive here, that
conditions are averse to their prop
i agation-th that the warm season is
! too short for them and the cold
season too long. He sincerely hoped
/ that experiments would be made,
and that his house would yet have
the pleasure of spending large sums
of money here on reliable seed. He
4 wished the idea dispeled that his
/ firm would suffer materially from
1 the cancellation Of contracts here.
/ These were only a few Of handreds,
and the special thought in using this
northwest section was to distribute
their acreage over territory with
varying climatic conditions. 50 that
. crop failure in one section would
i not mean serious failure for them
lin other words they didn't consid-
er it good policy to carry all their
eggs Ia one basket
