DR.. LATHAM ANNOUNCES.

We are authorized TO announce
the candidacy OF DIR. San w.
Latham for the nomination for
State Senator from the 5Ist Sen
atolial District on the keIubli-
can ticket before the primary
election to be held September
9th 1914.
DIR. Latham is man who at
'iall times and under all circum-
stances has stood for the fuada-
m eatll principles OF the Grand
lOld Party. always fighting until
the polls are closed Tor the wor-
thy standard bearers are chosen
by the party OF his choice.
He is strong advocate OF a
protectiye tariff, believing in that
therein lies the greatest measure
oil benefit and protection for the
American laboring man and for
the American farmer. He be-
lieves that the American Manu-
facturer cannot pay his laborers a
1
sufficient stipend to enable them
to live like the freeman they are,
and at the same time compete
with foreign manufacturer who is
obliged to pay for his labor in
many instances less than one
fourth the prevailing wage in this
i country. He believes that the
American farmer cannot pay the
the prices for land which prevail
/, in the United States and compete
with the foreigner who pays pos
sibly one-fourth that same price
| and in the production OF the ne
cessites OF life.
He believes that, since the
whole industrial system OF the
! United States has been built .u-
pom the theory OF protective
tariff. since wage scales have been
made with that ia view. the prices
! on all commodities have been
lqaoted since this country was
! founded with that in view. since
| land values have been created on
: that theory, the repeal OF that law
must and will paralyze all busi-
ness in this country. as IS be-
: ing demons trated at this time.
He believes that labor is cnti-
tied to consideration and respect
in the industrial disputes which
arise from time to time, and that
the best and only way for it to
| this consideration and respect is
: by organization. and Tor this he
; has always been friendly toward
. union labor. While Mayor oi
EIdorado he was instrumental ia
: having an ordinance passed by
the city council OF the city OF FL
dorado providing for the employ
ment o. union labor by the mn-
nicipality. and at the union wage
) scale.
] He points with pride to his
: record in an official capacity. and
: invi tes the closet scrutiny OF all
5 his acts.

OILED ROADS FAIL
UNDER HEAVY TRAFFIC.
Only Small Proportion Constructed
Has Been Successful.

As matter Of fact very small pro
portion of the total area of oiled mac
adam pavement constructed has been
successful Under heavy traffic it ruts
and waves very badly. 1t Is my opin-
ion that, even under the best condi-
tons, this pavement has little justifi-
cation. Oil has more lubricating than
binding properties, and its introduction
into macadam pavement has ten
dency to destroy the stability Of the
neering News The successful exam
pies of payements of this class have
been either in localities where climatic
conditions are such as to evaporate the
more volatile parts Of the oil or where
the application has been made in suct,
a manner us to achieve the same re,
suit. Oiled macadam roads which
have become so rutted as to be almost
impossible have been converted into
fairly good pavements by scarifying
and reroIling. thereby aerating the oil
and causing the evaporation of the
lighter constituents.
For residence streets Oklahoma, CAL.
is using exclusively SOME type of oil

fore most generally used consists of
the ordinary amount Of macadam rock.
compacted and treated with two ap
plications of heavy road oil, aggregat-
ing one and one-half gallons to the
square yard. The amount Of oil is
sufficient to produce an oil bound sur
face of about three inches in depth
This type of pavement requires care
full workmanship. particularly in the
matter of securing pavement firm
enough to carry heavy loads and at
the same time sufficiently porous to
admit the oil. With widely differing
character of the stone in common use
the daily changing weather conditions
and the disagreement among experts
as to the proper method of building
oil-macadam streets. this attempt to

Results have generally been good. in
many cases ideal, and in few cases

power. which operates series OF
bucket chains that dig the soil to any
depth down to eighteen inches. and
the tooth armed buckets are so power
full that they will cut through ii fin
ished pavement If it be desired to re,
build old streets.
The earth is picked up by these
buckets, carried to mixer In the
body Of the machine and thoroughly
combined with any desired binder, hot
asphaltum or crude oil. and is then
spread evenly and rolled and in one
operation. A trailer containing the
binder follows the machine, and it is
necessary to have string of them In
readiness. as the device operates with
great speed. The earth is dug up.
mixed. relaid and rolled ut the rate of
fifty square feet a minute for IN eighr
inch depth OF asphalt pavement
A very advantageous feature of this
method of mixing is that it is uniform
from base to surface so that there is
no danger of the surfaces buckling
Of course where the mixture includes
crushed rock it is necessary to spread
the material before the machine. The
chains of buckets are independent of
each other. and as each has width Of
six inches It is possible to form vari
GUS combinations for roads Of different
widths.
