Of protecting people from their bites,

The alfalfa weevil is serious prob
lem in Utah and has spread to Wyom-
ing and other neighboring states. As
is always done in case of this kind
the bureau Of entomology has secur-
ed tho world for parasites to attack
the new enemy. Two such have been
imported, one from Italy and another
from southern France. The alfalfa
wsevil fortunately cannot fly but it
gets into freight cars along the track.
into bales of hay for shipment and
seems to know by instinct how to ss-
cure free transportation.
The boil wcevil, which Is capable u
extending flights, is much more diff
cult to deal with. Much has been done
to control It by burning cotton stalks
after the crop has been picked and by
introducing parasites. DR.. W. D.
Hunter. In charge Of southern field
crop insect Investigations for the bu-
reau, says that records extending
back 80 years in some instances show
that the boil weevil never voluntarily
leaves territory it once inyades.
1--WE have found that the wecvil has
already acquired considerable num-
Der Of parasites in this country" said
DR.. Hunter in telling Of the war on
the cotton pest. "That is there arc

which have transferred their attacks
from their original hosts to the bell

The Introduction Of parasites has
been particularly successful in the
war against the gypsy moth and DR..
Howard estimates that last year so
per cent of the moths in New England
were killed off by parasites imported
from Europe and Japan. The present
invested areas are the whole Of Mas
sachusetts as far west as the Con-
necticut river, the southern half Of
New Hampshire, the southern border
Of Maine running half way up ths
sea coast, and one or two colonies in
Vermont. There are isolated colon
les in the Berkshires, two In Con-
necticut, near Stonington and Hart
ford, and one in Rhode Island.

Senators Will Have
Hard Fight for Jobs

WASHINGTON, d. c., March II.
The terms of third of the mem
bers of the United States senate will
expire little over year hence. And
thirty-two members will face the
problem of getting back again-for
with possibly one exception all of the
solons would like to keep on with
their legislating jobs-under the new
direct elections law. All of which
makes the political situation of con-
siderable interest to the senatorial
aspirants. Most of them are anxious
to get out home and mend their polit-
ical fences. 1t will be novel stunt
for most of them, this campaigning
among the people instead of pulling
wires among members of the state
legislatures. Elihu Root, whose term
expires March 4, 1915, positively
doesn't want reelection. Root has
announced his retirement from pub
lie life at that time. Senator Brad
ley, of Kentucky, is not expected to
fight for his return. 1t is practical
ly certain that his successor will be a
Democrat.

apt to be succeeded by = Democrat is

Train Robber Fayorite
for Oklahoma Governor

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, March
11.-Announcing his platform in a
statement that takes up barely ten
lines of single-column printed mat
ter, AL. j. Jennings, who served ten
years in the Ohio penitentiary and
former leader of the famous Jen-
nings gang of Indian Territory out
laws, is taking first place among the
seven men who have already formal
ly entered the race for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor of
Oklahoma. Jennings is being bitter
ly fought by the so-called Democrat
ic machine. His race barely begun,
promises to be one of the most spec
tacular ever seen, even in the poll
tics-ridden state Of Oklahoma.
The other candidates include a
judge of the supreme court, Robert
L. Williams, Of Durant; supreme
court commissioner, Judge ]. B. A.
Robertson, of Chandler; an attorney
general, Charles West, of Enid; Sec
retary of state, Ben F. Harrison, of
Calvin; state treasurer, r. l.. Dun
lop, of Newkirk; and a ranchman-
banker, F. E. Herring, Of Elk City
Rurom has it that former COVER
nor and a United States congressman
may also decide TO enter the race.
Jennings says he is certain to win.
He believes as firmly as it is possible
for any man to believe anything that
he will be the next governor Of the
state where thirty years ago there
was price on his body, dead or alive.
In the last election of Oklohamo
county, he ran for prosecuting attor-
ney. He secured the nomination on
the Democratic ticket and lost the
election by only 800 votes with H.
900 cast. Jennings says the "high
up" criminals and the election judges
stole the office from him. However
that may be, it is evident that the
other candidates fear him above any
other one man. On returning from
the penitentiary, he reviewed his
studies in law, was given back his
citizenship by President Roosevelt
and he has made good in the profes-
sion in a big way. His enemies have
been unable to produce evidence that
he has not lived straight life since
he was pardoned from the peniten-
tiary.
A year ago he had suite Of rooms
! in the State National Bank building
at Oklahoma city. He had an income
of $4,000 a year. He was one Of the
leading criminal lawyers Of the state
with all the business he could attend
to. Clients came to him from al
parts of Oklahoma. Today he has
two little dark rooms in the back Of
an obscure old brick building or
North Broadway. His neiRhbors are
second rate dentists and dress max
ers. A cresky old stairway leads III,

way from the street to his office
door, on which in small letters is the
sign, al J. jennings" He has
quit his law practice. He says q
man can't be exactly on the square
and practice law Then, it will take
all his time to attend to the coming
campaign.
Already the candidate has begun
to speak to the people of the state on
the race.
I'm going to visit every county in
Oklahoma and as many of the towns
as possible. The newspapers won't
give me square deal The largest
daily in the state and quarter of
the smaller ones have been subsidized
by the men who will break the law BY
spending more than $4,000 allowed
them to pay the expenses of tho race.
If should walk into the office of
most Of them and offer them s25 they
would support me just as zealously
a. they are now supporting some one
else.
But there are two reasons why
do not do this. In the first place,
haven't got the money, and in the
second ! won't place myself on the
low plane of the men who get office
by buying themselves in.
"The old outlaw days that | have
been trying so hard for the past fif-
teen years to forget were uncouth.
they were sometimes savage and
sometimes even murderous. But those
men were men. They never lied
There is no comparison between the
outlaws who openly broke the law and
the public official who perjures him
self by swearing falsely to the
amount Of his election expenses.
"These men are criminals just the
same as the admitted outlaws who are
in jail now. They are rarely worse
for they parade in Sleeps clothing" F."
The question Of raising the $4,000
right now for the expense money is
not an easy one. True, Jennings soon
will have good income from storiea
and books but he has debts to meet
and he says he never expects 10 b.
more than comfortable well off.
He is already announcing his plat
form which is said to be the shortest
one on which candidate ever ran for
a high office. He promises: "Firsi.
fidelity to the people. Second, real
honesty in office. Third, that the
law shall be no respecter of persons.
When these principles are truthfully
and honestly carried out, all interest
will be subserved and taxes will be
greatly reduced. In all my life,
have never betrayed s-confidence. "
the people confide in me, God may b.
Judge, III not betray them"
