tom WATSON SENDS A.
HUGHES BALLOT into
THIS PART OF STATE

graph, today says:
ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 6.-Thomas E.
Watson has again bolted the demo-
cratic party, national and state. and is
at last out in the field, undisguised and
in such a way that he can't dodge it
further, fighting the party.
In the second, third and tenth con-
gressional districts particularly; all
over the state to some extent, mug
Wump ticket has been sent out by Wat
son in the hope of killing the demo-
cratic party vote. The following tele-
gram received by this bureau this
morning from the third congressional
district explains the Watson method
and shows up what he is doing:
" Official progressive Georgia bal
lots for use in Tuesdays election are
flooding this section. They are being
sent out in the envelopes of the Jeff
ersonian Publishing company from
Thomson. The only difference is in
the presidency
If ballots like that are voted in the
general election Tuesday they can
have but one effect They will not be
ballots of any organized political party,
but their use will have the effect of
tearing down the democratic vote, and
no other purpose can be accomplished

Frame-Up in Atlanta.

In Atlanta, there has just been an ex-
pose of the frame-up on the part of the
so-called "progressives" of Georgia
against the republicans, showing that
the tic let alleged to have been offered
in this state, with the promise that its
electorswi vote for Hughes, is for no
other purpose than to try to horn in
on the lingering claim to a slice of
patronage in event of loss by the demo-
Gratis, and to get even with the Pickett
republicans. The Watson crowd of
progressives are offering their ticket in
south Georgia as progressive" ticket
instructed to vote against Wilson, and
they are offering the identical ticket in
north Georgia as the real republican
ticket"
Until the direct information came
from the third district that these fake
tickets for use Tuesday were covering
the state in Jeffersonian publishing
company envelopes, and being mailed
from Thomson, it was not known who
is behind the movement to break in
with the fake on the democratic vote;
rather the fact had been advertised that
this work" was being Gone from
headquarters" here in Atlanta
1t is a notable fact that in two of
the congressional districts in the upper
portion of the state the democratic
nominees for congress are being op-
posed by republicans and hard races
are being fought; that the democratic
nominee for state senator in one dis
trict is being fought by a republican
and possibly will be beaten; that the
democratic nominee for membership in
the house of representatives in one of
the mountain section counties is being
fought by republican In that part of
of the state the Watson mugwump
ticket is being offered as the "republi-
cam official ticket.

Tom Watson is playing true to form,
although some insist that he has bolt
ed. Old line democrats don't call it
bolting-they just say that he is up
t. the same old tricks.
The Times-Recorder during the past
several days has received scores of
tickets marked Official Progressive
Ballot" In some cases the envelopes
in which they were sent reached this
office, being marked "Jeffersonian Pub
lishing Co., Thomson, Ca" And, ev-
erybody knows that the Thomson con-
Germ is no other than the printing
liant of Tom Watson.
The democrats of Sumter county are
being warned of the ticket. 1t bears a
marked similarity to the Official DEM
ecratic ballot, having all OF the state
and county officials nominated in the
democratic pramiry. The only differ
erce is that it carries the name of
Hughes aad Fairbanks and their cleo
tcrs in Georgia.

Domestic Beet CEop

Based principally upon Government
weather reports and notes from the
press 70 June ID, 1916:
Weather generally has been more
summerlike over beet sections. Rain
has again fallen in Wisconsin and
Michigan. In the former state the
beets are doing well, but in Michigan
the rainfall continues excessive. In
Ohio plenty of sunshine is needed. The
warmer weather in Colorado has been
of benefit to the beets, the growth of
which had been retarded by the cold,
but more precipitation is needed. Thin.
ming is under way.
Montana reports that the beets are
now terminating well, but in Wyoming
the frOsts continue. Fair growing
weather prevails in Utah and R1aho,
but in some sections the high winds
have crusted the soil to the detrimen mt
of the best crop. Second paintings Of
beets are coming up. Field work is
making fair progress in Oregon. On
the Pacific Slope the weather has been
dry, but with considerable cloudiuess.
At Visalia a force is now at work
oVerhauling the plant, which expects. to
start operations the latter part of the
month.

BREEZY RESUME OF
NEW YORK MARKET
Hawaiian RefinerS Have Had
Something To Do With
Dull Market
At Least That Is What Disgrun-
tied Eastern Refiners Say
About II

Hope long deferred makcth the
heart sick, and so it is with the sugar
market" is the wise remark Of the
New York correspondent of one Of the
sugar agencies, writing unl%f date OF
June 81. This time II is the accursed
weather. Hawaii has had it and now
IL is the mainland = turn. Weather
of the most unseasonable nature con-
tinucs to dominate the situatiOn,' he
says. "Addcd to this, the strikes
among the wOrkmen, and the delay Of
carriers for Europe arriving here TO
take on their cargOes of refined, have
made untOwaFd conditions. Then too
there are dissensions among the rein
ers.' That last is a curious statement
because in the campaign literature
"the refners' are always referred to
as various tentnclrs of the same old
octopus.
Continuing, "the truce patched up
last winter at the instance Of the new
president of the American Sugar Re.
fining Company is no longer recognized
by. Zone of the wicked in.
dependents), "and the Philadelphia re.
iners are instancing the action of said
independent as their necessity for fol.
lowing suit" land they call Philadel.
phia the City of Brotherly Love.
Wicked Hawaii
'"An Eastern Tefners are much per
turbed over the Chicago situation which
they attriute to the operations of the
Crockett refinery, which is said to be
giving unusual credits. Eastern rein
ers are in a state of evaporation over
this invasion of that market and resent
the intrusion very vigorously. 1t is
not surprising therefore that rnws are
being purchased in small quantities and
at concessions by sellers. The freight
situation is also much easier than it
was.
Fortunately for prices, Cubans are
in such remarkably we'll fortified posi-
tons that they can wait until the spir-
it of the buyers changes. Rcfners are
undoubtedly running short of supplies
and must, ere long, do considerable
buying, but they hold out very stub.
bOrnly nevertheless. Bullish cable
grams from Cuba exert no influence. A
slight ameEoration of weather condi-
tions infused some life into things and
induced operators, who have several
times this year come to the rescue, to
once more essay to turn the tide.
What! In Sugar Too!
''The refined sugar market is, for
reasons already given, very disap-
pointing. 1t will be slow TO move from
what may be called 'watehful wait
ing policy which has not always
been justified by results. Independent
refners are cutting prices 10 obtain
what little business there is. Still their
stocks are accommodating and they are
anxious to see them moving out into
distribution"
