Endeavoring to shield the demo-

its tariff legislation, the Portland

Is it not the purpose of tariff COM
mission to investigate conditions and
recommend changes? ? If the commits
sion spends a year investigating the
tariff on sugar, will not every pro-
ducer of cane and beets and every
manufacturer of sugar be in sus-
pense all that time Then, when a
report has been made to congress will
there not be the same suspense until
a law has been enacted? Then won't
there be uncertainty as to the possi-
bility of the commission taking the
subject up again? Is not the same
true of every pther industry that needs
a protective ariff? As a matter Of
fact the only time great industrial
concerns could safely plan for the fu-
ture was Immediately after a repub-
lican victory had resulted in the en-
actment of a protective tariff law
which the business men Of the coun-
try could safely depend upon to re-
main in force until the American peo-
Pile had by their votes indicated a
desire for its repeal. There you have
the fact of the matter SO far as plan

Real Americanism

Mr.. Hughes said he had heard it
said recently that there was only one
alternative to peace and that was
war.
81 studied logic once upon time"
he said, "and it had much TO say
about those who used reason Of that
description.
81 have been asked what | would do
with respect TO Mexico If l am elect
ed president. Now, no man on earth
can tell what sort Of mess we will
find in Mexico next March. But /
will say this: There are certain prin-
ciples we can lay down, to which we
propose to adhere. They are impor-
tant not only with respect TO Mexico
but to Latin-America, TO all nations.
"If trusted with executive respon-
sibility, propose to adhere to them.
"The first principle is that we will
not meddle with things that do not
concern US.
"The second is that we will not
merely talk about the rights Of small
states but we will observe them.
"The third is that it shall be under
stood that at all events the lives and
property Of American citizens will be
protected throughout the world"
The audience cheered. Mr.. Hughes
assailed the administration for the en-
actment of the Adamson law.

CARLsoN's WINNING FIGHT
The Governor Gains Friends Every
Day and Is Making Winning
Fight

After the hot primary fight through
which Governor Carlson passed victor
iously in September the pool rooms
placed odds Of 100 to 60 against him,
but the betting public has no politics
and bets to win. Gradually they siz-
ed up that big republican primary vote
more than eighty-five thousand to
less than forty thousand democratic
and also the aggressive campaign
which Carlson is now making and the
weak, wobbly efforts of his opponent
and the odds gradually narrowed IN
til now no Gunter money can be found
unless odds are offered on Carlson.
The governor has not trimmed on
any subject but meets every issue
fiatfooted with an open declaration Of
where he stands and what he will do,
and the voters admire and respect
such a man. Governor Carlson prom
ised law enforcement when candi-
date two years ago, and the only
fight made on him today is because he
made good on that promise. He found
anarchy and restored peace. He found
bankruptcy and deficits everywhere
and restored solvency and surplus.
In this he had the strongest backing
of an able set of officials elected on
the ticket with him, and it was through
their combined efforts that Colorado
has been placed again in the ranks of
efficiently managed state governments
The democrats afraid of their past
record endorsed the work of the re-
publican administration and nominal
ed a ticket of men whom they knew
were without any force and hope to
put the old gang back in power with
out giving the voters a chance to
pass on the merits of the men who
will really administer the states af-
fairs if the democratic ticket wins
A vote for Gunter is a vote to return
Pearce. Brake and Lawson to rule il
Colorado-and will mean in a few
months a return of the old days OF
anarchy and lawlessness.

during elections; then he has attacked
and, voted against nearly all the lead
ing industries of the district-espec-
tally making his fight against the
sugar beet industry; and now comes
his dirty and underhand warfare on
his opponent in this election, Geo. f.
McClelland. The anonymous letters
sent out from Keating's Denver head
quarters containing libelous and un-
derhanded attacks on Mr. McClelland
have done more TO show Keating's
real character to the people than any
thing that has happened heretofore.
This letter was largely responsible for
the coolness shown toward Keating
and the fact that in most of the towns
of the county he failed to find anyone
but postmasters to talk to. McClelland
is growing rapidly and in spite of the
democratic majority in the district
there is growing belief that his elec-
/ ton is assured, and the Second Con-
gressional District will be hereafter
represented by a resident Of the dis
trict-one who is interested in the in
dustries of the district and will work
for the promotion Of their best inter
ests. Geo. f. McClelland is a business
man Of ability and all n property in
terests are located in this district.

economy which befits a democratic
government, and a reduction in the
number of useless offices, the salaries
of which drain the substance of the
people.-The Democratic National
Platform, 1912.
Here we have the promise. What has
been the performance
The Sixty-fourth congress has al
ready spent or pledged the spending
of $4,000, 100000.
1t has voted away the peoples mon
ey at the rate of $S,O00,000 day for
each of the 245 days of its recent ses-
sion, Sundays and holidays included.
1t has created 10000 new Offices,
many of them useless, and most of
them frankly spoils, placed outside of
the merit system.
1t has distributed pork with an
unstinting hand-public buildings,
river and harbor improvements and
the like.
1t has ordered a nitrate plant and
an armor plant, and the purchase Of
merchant ships to compete with pri-
vate ownership.
What the deficit produced by such
reckless spending is to be is an ad-
ministration secret, closely guarded
till after election. We shall then be
informed of how many bonds must be
sold by the treasury to balance its
accounts.

the roads have been for the most part
Of the past four years a disgrace to
the county and a big hardship to the
farmers in marketing their crops.
1t is with confidence in their ability
to make good that the republican
party Of the county places before the
voters for county commissioners a
successful business man and sue
cessful farmer-men who have proved
their ability in the management Of
their own business, and who will give
the county the best that is in them
in handling IS affairs in business
like and economical manner. Both
Mr.. Knuckey and Mr.. Sterrett are men
of the highest standing in their own
sections of the county, men Of well
known ability and integrity, and if
elected the county will be assured a
good business management for the

COUNTY FINANCES
Record the Democrats Claim TO Be
Proud About Hits Taxpayers Hard

Record the Democrats Claim TO BE
Proud About Hits Taxpayers Hard
In platform and in their official or
gan the local democrats are making
loud claims for the peoples support
on the ground Of what they call their
business management of the county
affairs the past four years. If it is
good business to continually exact
more and more from the people each
year and give less and still less III re-
turn then they have given US that
sort of a business management. The
question of taxes does not have TO !"
argued with men who have paid them
number of years, all that is neces-
sary is to take your tax receipts and
see for yourself. Don't take compar-
sons of Mr.. Blanks taxes-he may
have had a pull that saved him-iook
up your own tax receipts. If you are
one of the average you will find a
raise in the amount each year And
this is in the face of the fact that nc
permanent improvements have been
made the past four years.
For many years the county had
heavy expense on account of bridges
washing out, and the last two repub-
lican boards had to replace nearly all
the county bridges. They did this with
structures that have stood the test
and proved the wisdom of their act
ion. As a consequence this heavy
drain on the county's road fund was
stopped and the democratic board has
not had any of this expense. In adj
dition they have had thousands Of dol
lars of help from the state and the
heavy auto tax-neither of which
sources of revenue paid much to the

BIG SAVING
Under Present Conditions Litigants
Save Heavy Expense Each Year

Outside Of home pride there is an
especial reason why every voter in
this end of the Third Judicial District
should vote for Judge CRANKY Hillyer
and that reason is a financial one.
Before Judge Hillyer's appointment
two years ago everyone in this section
of the district who has been forced
into litigation Of any sort has had
frequent calls TO pay railroad fare and
expenses Of his attorney for trip
to Trinidad to get before the Judge
in chambers. Since the appointment
chambers have been opened in Lamar
and all this section of the district now
can easily reach the Judge by auto
and save big time and money. This
one item alone should insure Judge
Hinyer a big majority, but in addition
he has made good on the bench and
is recognized all over the state as a
jurist of highest standing, and his
record has made him friends through
out the districts e
For district attorney the republican
candidate is Joseph W. Hawley of
Trinidad, a young attorney of espec-
ial ability and worth, who has the
highest recommendation that could be
given him, an overwhelming majority
at the primary in the face of a bitter
fight. Mr. Hawley has made good
both as a public official and an attor-
ney, and his wide acquaintance and
popularity in the district makes his
election mainly a question Of majority.

FARMERS MUST PAY
James Wilson Says Cost of Hour
Day Will Fall on Them

DdN VIII II All bn iHfh
1t was the farmers Of the country,
in the opinion Of James Wilson, for
mer Secretary Of Agriculture, who
we're hit hardest when the Adamson
bill was forced through congress by
the president The farmer, the for
mer secretary said, will have to foot
the bill for the increased cost of rail-
road operation, for they constitute a
majority Of the shippers and it is to
them the railroads, requiring more
money for wages, must look.
"The farmer has no eight hour day
said Mr.. Wilson yesterday. SHOULD
that number Of hours become general
in all occupations, including the farm,
the prices of food would rise still
higher than those current.
"The farmers will be put under the
harrow later. A few million dollars
may be scraped from track men,
clerks, station men and the like, but
only a beginning has been made. 1t
will not stop there. The appetite of
the taxing power grows on what it
feeds. It brought about the French
Revolution-it invited Cromwell in
England. 1t embattled the farmers in
New England"

Promise and Performance

We denounce the profligate waste
of the money wrung from the people
by oppressive taxation through the
lavish appropriation of recent repub-
lican congresses, which have kept
taxes high and reduced the purchas-
ing power of the peoples toll. We
demand a return to that simplicity and

toiler. He entered the campaign fresh
from his vote for the pseudo eight
hour-a-day" bill. Samuel Gompers
went into his district TO preach the
doctrine of Danny Mack's" Ortho
doxy. If ever the labor vote was to
be delivered" surely Danny Mack"
had license to sign the receipt. Yet
his republican opponent won, with
vote bigger by a thousand than the
combined republican and progressive
strength of two years ago. The moral
is that the labor vote is cast in ac-
cordance with the personal political
principles of the individual members
of the labor unions and not as the
leaders attempt to dictate.

In a speech before the bankers as
sembled at Kansas City, John SHELTON
Williams sought to laud the democrat
ic party for the prosperity now en-
joyed by some people in this country
and cited figures to show the enor-
nous development of the industries
Of the country from 1902 to 1914. How
he could take credit to the democratic
party for that development, is difficult
to understand. All of that period ex-
cept three months of 1918 and all Of
1914 were under republican laws, and
the portion of the period under demo-
cratic laws was the dullest of all.

other, will deal with four issues"
This is wholly consistent. There are

1t is difficult to understand why
Secretary Of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels should allow his paper, the Raj
eigh, N. c., News g. Observer to re-
peatedly cast slurs at members Of the
national guard frcn northern states.
Not long ago nc was rejoicing over
the fact that southern regiments, un-
ike the northern regiments, had few
men Of foreign ancestry. Now his
paper tells Of the nesting Of North
Caroline regiment and q New York
regiment, and says: The New York
boys were slender chaps, evidently
town bred, while the North Caroline
boys had all the appearances Of men
bred in the open, larger and broader
of shoulder" Since all Of them were
enlisted under the same army regula-
tions, it is a safe guess that there
was on the average no material diff
ference, but with his usual provincial
ism the editor Of the North Carolina
paper must make comparisons to the
disadvantage Of the soldiers from the
North.

Guard Morals OF Navy.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 27.-Yesterday
morning a man applied at the navy
recruiting station TO enlist as sea-
man. He was well-built, stalwart-
looking chap. He was passing his
physical examination in fine man
ner when told to strip. The first
thing Dr. Bostic, the examining
physician, noticed was some obscene
tattooing on the mans body. He was
told that he would not
be accepted.
The man went to the army recruit
ing station. He did not tell that he
had been rejected ny the navy. He
was passing splendidly until Ser
geant Walsh noticed the tattooing
and said, "Oh, no we can't take you
with that stuff on you"
Yesterday afternoon the man ap-
peared again at the navy station and
that he had been to a tat
too artist and had the pictures OBJ
liberated. He was again rejected. Of
ficers in charge later said that they
would not accept a man, on the
ground that if his taste ran to such
pictures he was not a fit man for the
navy.
