Of course, very pleasing to US.
when In the closing days Of the
campaign, however, the party man
ayers pledged the national commit
tees credit in a determined effort to
make final and resolute stand
against the devices Of the organized
wealth which sough to turn the
admittedly genuine drift away from
President wilson. we relied and had
right to rely upon the great body
OF democrats in the nation to finan-
cialIy back us up.
Naturally, we now look to these
democrats, who, in a party sense
share in the honors Of the wonderful
victory to make It clearly known by
their prompt and generous response
that future democratic national COM
mittees, If ever confronted by the
menace OF coersive wealth and re-
publian unscrupulousness, as we were
may rely upon the party to support
them to the limit in combating the
powerful influences Of the opposition.
"In other words. let the message
go forth that the great rank and file
OF democracy stands behind its party
managers ready and eager to SUPP
port to the utmost their party's pa
triotic refusal to be either dismayed
or intimidated by the mere power Of
organized wealth.
I'VE are grateful indeed to those
Democrats who have already re-
sponded with generosity and prompt
ness. We are grateful also to the
army Of organized democratic cam
paign workers in the field who labor
ed with efficiency and tireless ener-
gy during the campaign.

INTERESTING SIDELIGHTS ON THE
DEMOCRATIC APPEAL FOR FUNDS

NEW YORK, Nov 2s.-Interest-
ing details Of the task Of wiping out
the national campaign deficit were
made public today by Treasurer Will
bur w. Marsh Of the democratic ma
tional committee.
Mr.. Marsh talked very frankly
about the work in which he and his
associates are now engaged. Beliey
ing 1t to be a subject in which the
public Is vitality concerned, he per-
mitted a glance through the responses
to the committees appeal for funds,
which sheds a most interesting light
upon the sources and character Of
the contributions received up to the
present time
He pointed out that the committee
was particularly grateful for the spon-
taneous and. hearty response from in
dependent citizens who had received
no party advantages, in political
sense, from the democratic party In
the past and expected none in the
future. These contributors he add
ed, were prompted solely by an abid-
ing sense of patriotism and gave in
spirit Of genuine gratitude.
"An impressive feature of the con-
tributions up to date Is that many
are from citizens who are under no
obligations to the party for any past
political favors," continued Mr..
Marsh.
"They strikingly express the deep
feeling OF gratitude over the reelec-
tion Of President Wilson entertained
by Independent citizens throughout
the country. They are in a sense
thank offerings by American voters

Russians Cutting OF Austrians

London, July 6.-Penetrating the
Austro- Hungarian line at Delatyn, to
the west of Kolomea, the Russians have
succeeded in cutting one Of the main
railways between Galicai and Hun
gary. The Austrians depend largely
upon the line to supply their armies
at Stanislaus and before Carnoval.
The severing of the railroad is re-
garded as severe blow to General
Won Bothmer and may force his with
drawal toward Lemberg.
In their official statement the Aus
trians admit the penetration of their
line at Delatyn and state that they
have retired to a front west of Sad
zadka.
Petrograd reports Teutonic forcs

SOY BEANS.

Most planters with whom have talk
ed regarding Soy Beans, claim that a
crop can be made if they are planted
before July 10th, and I thought It
good idea to write this letter suggest
ing an active campaign by each mana
ger in his local territory, in an effort to
induce farmers to start planting soy
beans this year, even though in small
way. The results will interest them
and they will plant more largely an
other season.
The development Of this production
will be Of immense value to the Oil mill
industry. If we can secure tonnage
of SOW beans to work in connection with
cotton seed, the oil mills will be bene-
fitted to an incalcuable extent by hav-
| ing the length Of their season increas-
ed and overhead charges reduced pro
portionately.
/ It appears that soy beans are practi
cally about as good a raw product OF
crush as cotton seed, and believe that
we should do everything in our power
to help the development of soy beans
Unquestionably the boil weevil is max
ing his way towards us, and when he
does arrive, if we can judge by the de
creased production of cotton in Louis
ana we have some conception of what
our lot will be. The soy bean may
prove to be our salvation.

|ELEorR1urY AIDS IN BUILDING

ELEUTRIC1TY AIDS IN BUILDING.
Electric power is being used more ex-
tensively each year in building opera
tions to drive concrete mixers, air com
pressors, hoists, etc. e1F
The main reason FOR this growing
popularity is simply that electric drive

steam, provided, Of course, electric eur
rent is available, AZ IL usually is in the
neighborhood of built-up communities.
One man only is required to handle a
motor driven machine, and he need not

trolls all operations, starting, stopping,
reversing and changing the speed. There
are no standby losses, either. The mo
tor uses power only when actually run
ming and when Hsrest involves no ex
lpense whatever. Having no boiler, the
machine is lighter and more compact
than a steam driven machine, and hence
is more readily moved and placed in po

London, July 6.-The great. great Of
