TEXAS Is STRONGER THAN
EVER FOR WILSON SINCE He
THREW DOWN COLONEL HARVEY
New Jersey Man Seems to Be
Able to AmaIgamate Varied
Factions of the Democratic
State
BIZ ALFRED o. ANDERSON.

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 27.-The more
clearly it is disclosed who is against
woodrow Wilson, the more certainly
Texas stands for Woodrow Wilson for
the presidency.
1t doesn't matter to Texas Democrats
that Colonel watterson is against VIII
son because Wilson was brave enough
to tell Col. George Harvey that he
didn't want Harvey-a slave of ]. Pier
mont Morgan-to support him.
Other candidates in Texas-Harmon,
Underwood and Champ Clark--stand lit
tie chance against Wilson. The Har-
mon forces have never been able to
complete the organization which was
begun in August.
Col Rienzi NJ. johnston, national
committeeman. and Clarence ousley, of
the Fort Worth Record. are against
Wilson.
And they, with Jake Wolters, form
the only opposition TO Wilson in Texas
John Davis, who recently made
a poll of the country newspapers, says:
"Four-fifths of the rural newspapers
are favorable to Wilson. Seventy-five
per cent are absolutely committed to
him. I can't name a single paper that
is for Harmon, Clark or Underwood
Texas has always been a progressive
state. Wilson, as president of Prince
ton, where he fought snobbishness and
the aristocracy of money, was known
to thinking men OF the state, even be-
fore he became governor of New Jer-
sey. When Wilson came out, in his
New Jersey fight for peoples power
he won Texas. Moreover, Texas has
ever clamored for a southern president
and Wilson's southern blood made him
doubly Texas choice.
In Texas there Is a complete Wilson
organization. 1t includes 81 clubs and
thousands of progressive Democrats who
will manage the precinct mass conven-
tions at which Texas Democracy will
take the first steps to. elect to the ma
toinal Democratic convention 40 Wilson
delegates.
The remarkable thing about the Will
son movement In Texas is its harmon
izing influence. All Texas is Demo-
cratic; all Texas is divided into four
factions-Bailey Democrats, anti-Bailey
Democrats, prohibition Democrats and
anti-prohibition Democrats. The Texas
woodrow Wilson association numbers all
OF these factionists among its leading
members. Men who cannot get togeth-
er on any other basis in Texas politics
are lined up shoulder to shoulder for
Wilson.
The last poll taken in the Texas leg
islature was as follows:
OF 81 senator's, q were outspoken for
Wilson; of 1873 representatives, 50 were
for Wilson. a
All the present day agitation against
Wilson is recognized by Texas as COM
ing from Wall, street. The anti-Bryan
letter was written years ago and was a
private letter, anyhow.

Hardwick. Of the congressional commit
tee. who for several months has been
investigating the so-caIled sugar trust,
hopes to submit a report to the house

Democratic leaders in the house urged
Mr.. Hardwick to report as soon as prac-
ticable. Witnesses who had come many
miles to testify in Febuttal of anti-beet
suagr testimony we're denied hearing.
Two reports win come from the COM

Final weeks of the inquiry developed
into a tariff debate, and the tariff will

GOOD BARN FOR MIXED FARMING

Good barns cost money, but when the
farmer once knows that by the, proper
construction Of his barn, and other out
buildings, he can often save the work Of
a man, il will readily become clear TO
him that the investment will pay big in
terest in the long run.
The barn shown herewith was designed
by a Missouri man.
The building will accommodate Il cows,
II horses, has box-stalls for both the
cows and horses. and also a large calf
pen.
Manure and hay-carriers can easily be
installed, and these are great labor
savers.
The ARRANGEMENT of the feed-room and
silo is excellent. The four-foot chute ex-
tends the entire length Of the silo. it has
small windows for light, tight door be-
low. separating the same from the feed
room. and keeping out dust and odors.
The silage Is dropped down this chute,
and from there shoveled to the mixing
boxes-one for the cows, and one for the
Ahorses. There are two bins In the feed
room, and two more may be located on
the floor above, and connected by small
spout for drawing OF the grain. These
spouts may be located directly over the
mixing boxes.

UNITED MINE WORKERS
RAP 0RTIE M'MANIGAL

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2S.-'To keep
the Ortie McManigals employed by the
capitalists, from destroying the miners
union" R. M. Roll, of Henderson, KY,
today offered in the United Mine Work
ers convention an amendment to the
constitution providing that no man should
be eligible to office in the national union
unless he had been at work in or around
a coal mino Ave years and had been a
member of the organization three years.
The amendment was adopted amid
cheers.
"The capitalists employed MECHANICAL
to destroy the Structural Iron Workers
union, and man as shrewd might get
to the head of the miners union for the
same purpose" said Rolls.

and female animals, as well as sick
ones.
The hay-bay is open to the roof, but
this can be arranged differently. The
partition separating the cows from the
center section, is boarded or plastered up
tight. except the calf-pen, to keep out
any odors, dust or dirt
The box-staIls in both the COW and
horse-barn are so constructed that the
inmates can have a good view Of the
other animals. They like company and
viii do better If they can see their neigh
bors.
The floor of the constable, the milk
room, feed-room and silo, are of cement,
the gutter being formed in the floor, with
four-inch drain at the rear, leading to
the manure pit.
The stalls are made to At both long
and short cows. The first stan, in front.
is four feet wide and five feet long. The
rear stall Is three feet six inches wide,
and four feet eight inches long. The
stalls slope from the front TO the rear,
each stall being slightly shorter than the
one next to 1t.
The floor OF the horse stable may be
made Of cement or clay; but the writer
prefers clay for horses; and we quite
fAgree with him, for horses eanflned on
cement floors are apt to injure the joints
/ OF their legs by continual standing; be-
] SIDES. we do not believe that any animal
should be allowed to lie on a cement
floor that is not covered with boards.
The barn, as shown in the Illustrations,
is 50x60 feet, IL feet to the caves, IS
feet to the peak The silo Is SO feet high.
The construction OF the foundation may
vary, according to the material, and can
be more easily and cheaply secured, but
the man who builds any barn, on a poor
| foundation, is making a bad investment.
The foundation should be made to stand
| for all time.
