FUSION BEATS TAMMANY
New York Mayor and Other Reform
Candidates Elected

New York Mayor and Other Reform
Candidates Erected
New York, Nov. 4.-Fusion carried
New York City, electing John Purroy
Mitchell mayor by approximately U.s.
600 plurality, and retaining control of
the important board of estimate by a
safe margin. Tammany hall saw its
nominee for the m~ayoralty, Edward
E. Mccall, go down to defeat by one
of the biggest pluralities ever given
against a candidate of the organiza-
ton, and it looked near midnight, as
if it might not even save the New
York county offices out of the wreck.
age. The big vote for Mitchell pulled
through the fusion candidates for
president of the board Of aldermen
and comptroller, George McAneny
and William A. ~Pendergast, against
whom Independence League, as we'll
as democratic organization candidates
we're running.
Sweeping gains were made by the
republicans all through the state to-
day following a campaign in which
the issue of "Tammany rule" was
raised with almost as much vigor out
side New York city as in the cam.
paign here. Indications based on in.
complete returns, were that the DEM
ocratic party had lost control of the
lower branch of the legislature.
Late returns showed the election of
Is republicans, SO democrats and five
progressives, with two in doubt. Nine
of the successful democratic candi-
dates, and eight of the republicans
were endorsed by the progressives.
William Sulzer, ousted from the
governorship Of New York last month
by a verdict of a high court Of i'm.
parchment, was elected to the state
assembly today from the Sixth dis
riot by a sweeping plurality estimated
at an early hour at 1000 or more. He
ran on the progressive ticket and ap-
parently polled more votes than his
republican and democratic opponents
combined.

Results with kafir Corn

In the current issue of Farm and
Preside G. Bolles writes an article
entitled Results with Kafr Corn"
Kafir corn, although more or less a
novelty in the east, is coming to be q
staple crop III parts Of the middle
west. 1t finds its greatest use on the
farm when it is fed to the horses and
hogs in the head, or ,thrashed and
ground, to all the stock. Following is
an extract from the article:
"Kafir is the one crop that the farm
er in the drier parts of the west can
plant and be assured that he can use
whether it natures or not. Many
farmers prefer Ka1r fodder to alfalfa
for horses and cows. We have known
horses to do their spring and summer
work on Kafr fodder and come
! through in fairly good condition.
"Kafr can be ground into excellent
flour for making pancakes, mullins,
doughnuts and pastry.
ut car also be popped like corn and
can be substituted for wheat in pro-
ducing 'as-good-as-coffee' drinks.
Conditions at one time got so bad
down in southern Kansas that one of
the bankers began writing a clause in
his mortgage with farmers requiring
them to grow ten acres of Kafir corn
for every hundred dollars they Dor
rowed. The scheme benefited both
, parties and the idea spread until most
! of the banks of southern Kansas and
! Oklahoma have taken up the idea
though with various notifications
1 This has had the effect of placing the
banks on a higher financial plane, and
the farmers do not have to tie up al
their live stock in order to borrow
few dollars"

Cooperation In the Home She Puts

Since women have come TO play so

necessity has arisen To consider the
home as a business institution" says
Mrs. Ida I. Upshaw, superintendent OF
the bureau of domestic relations, con-
neeted with the department of chart
ties. Mrs Upshaw is constantly called
upon to consider other persons domes-
tic troubles, and in many instances
to aid in Strengthening out family
struggle. SO she should be qualified
to Judge OF the elements necessary to
make a successful home
1T is not necessary in the very poor
homes TO advise business eo-opera-
ton. In these homes they are obliged
to figure closely to make both ends
meet. They practice every day strin-
gent domestic economy that they have
learned by hard experience. 1t is the

Not one man out of ten, as a rule, has
the slightest idea Of what 1t costs to
maintain a home, outside of the rent

homes where things have been taken

her lesson years ago, or from hotel

Cooperation is necessary in the
