Parties Markets. state Legislature
Falls Wholly Under Control Of the
Republicans.

Portland, Naturalization are
that the Republicans have won the
state election by safe plural1ties.
If the ratio OF the Republican mar
gin Is maintained, Carl E. Killikin will
be elected governor by about 11'oOo
plurality.
Bert M. Fernald, Republican, seems
20 have been elected for the snort

II the Republican congressional
candidates hold the lead they had at
latest report, three, Louis B. GoodaA,
in the First District, Congressman
John A. Peters in the Third, and Ira G.
Herzy in the Fourth are elected. Con-
gressman Daniel ]. McGfllicuddy,
Democrat, appeared to have been de-
feated in the Second district by Wal
lace H White, but this fight was close.
The total vote may prove to have
been the largest ever cast in the
state.
The election was the elimination
of one of the hottest fights ever waged
In the state and marked the reunion
OF the Republican and Progressive par
ties, whose differences in 1912 gave
the electoral vote OF Maine to Presi-
dent Wilson and two years later re-
suited in the election of Governor Oak
ley C. Curtis, a Democrat, by plu-
raIity of 3.1S9 Tonight's figures indi-
cate that the larger percentage of the
Progressive vote which two years AGO
was 1925, was cast for the Republi-
can ticket.
Throughout the campaign in which
a great number of men from all parts
OF the country and drawn from Repub-
lican, Democrats and Progressives par
ticipated, National issues were kept to
the forefront. The interest aroused to-
gether with perfect election weather,
brought out one OF the biggest votes
ever cast in the state and possibly
greater than has been known before

Secretary Baker Grants Request tc
Permit Army Officers to Explain
Military Conditions.


Washington-Secre Baker grant
ed the request of the American. Mexi-
can comission to have Maj. Gen. Task
er II. Bliss, assistant chief of staff, go
to New London, Conn.,, to give the
commissioners information that he has
gathered first-hand concerning the
military situation along the Interna-
tional border.
The general is regarded as one of the
army's most competent authorities
on Mexican questions. AS assistant
chief Of staff he has more to do with
the administration of military opera
lions along the border than any other
officer except Major General Funston
and recently he completed personal
inspection of all the border patrol mi
Ntfa camp.
Pressure from political and business
quarters is being brought to bear upon
Secretary Baker and administration
officials generally to withdraw Ma
tional Guard organizations from the
border. Members of Congress, bust
ness houses and friends and relatives
of guardsmen have deluged the de-
partment the last few days with re-
quests for the release OF the militia.

MT. VERNON SINGING PARTY.
In the Presbyterian Church on Wed.
nesday, Nov. s

The Mount Vernon Singing Party Is
an ideal singing company for an Amer
lean audience. The mixed quartet
gives great opportunities for each solo
voice and allows every singing effect
except the chorus. Equal stress Is
placed on the personnel and on the
program. The four soloists are of
artist ability. with voices OF beautiful
quality and are endowed with enrag-
ing personalities. A finished accom-
panist, who is also solo pianist. is
the fifth member of the company.
Songs have been selected that have
pleased most, chiefly those not often
heard but always liked. with n boun-
tiful offering of brilliant quartet num-
bers. The program is ideal in its con.
ceptions: it has symmetry, it has va
riety: above all it has that element
of human interest that reaches the
heart and soul of the audience. 1t In
duces patriotic devotion and higher
regard for cnnobling, uplifting scnti
ments. 1t has humor. it has action.
A feature of the program is n mum
ber of songs by American composers.
These are ms varied in nature MS Amer
lean types, since the composers have
found their themes in the cosmopoli
tan life OF the country. Attention cen
ters around this group, since it devel
OPS the interest in national music.

TO EXPLOIT VALLEY
Plans Are Made a; Meeting of Dele
gates in Pueblo

Plans were laid at a meeting of dele
sas valley, at the Commerce club rooms
in Pueblo on Monday afternoon for the
further exploitation and advertising of
this district in conjunction with the
state immigration bureau. The meet
ing had been called by B. F. Scribner,
the president of the old Arkansas Valley
Commercial club at the instance of J..
II. Jenkins, secretary of the state board
of immigration who was present at the
meeting and discussed the plans of the
board toward assisting the various
localities in the state in obtaining desir-
able new settlers.
AS result of the meeting, the men
present pledged sum of money to be
used in connection with an appropriation
from the state board to prepare reliable
statistics concerning the fourth Colora-
do district which follows in general the
boundaries of the United States land
districts. Thirteen counties are en-
braced in the area and it is practically
the watershed of the Arkansas river.
As arranged by the state board which
has previously fixed these boundaries
for the six districts, each district is an
empire in itself having all of the re-
sources of all of Colorado therein.
committee was appointed by those
present to undertake the work and the
sum of money necessary to compile the
booklet was apportioned among the Is
counties and the money pledgedby those
present. The meeting pledged the hearty
cooperation and support of the district
to Mr.. jenkins and the immigration
bureau in the work it is doing.
Those present, while not many, were
fairly representative of the entire 13
counties.

Car Load of Honey From Fowler

That this has been good season among
the aparies is voucheo for by the fact
that car load of honey was shipped out
of Fowler last Friday. A car of honey
represents something like $4,000. and
when it is known that several apiarists
did not get to ship their seasons product
in this car, it will be seen the bees have
been busy during the past season. Last
year prac tieally nothing was realized in
the way OF a honey crop. This season
however. has been good year. We are
told it takes dry. hot season for honey
making, and in addition to these favorable
conditions. bee-keepers did no. have the
grasshopper poison to contend with as
they did last year. Ross Pattison figures
he got ~ tons of honey from his l25
colonies OF bees. spring count. The car
of honey was purchased br Bert Hopper,
of Rocky Ford. who shipped it to the
southeastern part Of the country.-Fowler

BEER is BOOZE

gan of the w. C. 7. U. at Big
Mass Meetings

So enthusiastic are the temper
ance workers of Rocky Ford and
vicinity taking hold of the pro-
jected rally in this city that it has
been decided by the local branch
of the w. G. L. U. to hold two in
stead of the one big mass meeting
announced in The Enterprise last
week.
According to arrangements the
mass meeting will be held in the
Presbyterian church on Wednes-
day. Nov. l u, afternoon and even
ing. The afternoon meeting will
begin at 2:30 and the evening at
7:30.
Everybody is cordially invited
to attend and they are assured of
splendid entertainment. The COM
mittee in charge announces that
ten governors will represent their
prohibition states. Hear them by
all means. DIR. Crawford will be
there with the Boys Scouts and
they will take big part in the
night session. Then there will be
drills, yells, maneuvers. etc, but
positively no political speeches
will be allowed.
Don't fail to attend and you'll
have a better idea why the w. G.
L. U. slogan is "Save Colorado
from Beer, for Beer Is Booze"

BEAUTIFUL SUFFRAGET
Coming to Colorado with an Appeal
to Vote Against Wilson

The old order cha.geth. Please add
that later wheeza about the ugly suffrs-
gette being so homely that the world is
suff 'rin'yet." For Inez MilholIand publicly
heralded as .'the most beautiful suffragette
in the world is coming to Colorado.
And, in justice to those who are work
ing with her and will come with her. after
vlswing their pictures it must be said that
lnez MIholland has had to do considerable
travelling to win her title.
Aside from proving that feminine suf
rage and feminine beauty can go hand in
hand and that the weird jokes Of the past
are as dead as the proverbial doornail,
lnez Mholland will demonstrate that the
non-voting sisters of the East can avengs
legislative wrong and fight political ex-
ped ency," when such things deprive them
Of their rights. As envoy from the Con-
gressonal Uuion for Woman Suffrage
representing the unenfranchised women
Of the country. she will bring to Colorado
an appeal to vote against Wilson and the
Democratic congressional candidates.
1t is the Democratic party, rather than
the Individual, which is under the fire of
Inez MihoIland, the Congressional Union
and the National Woman's party. lrrefut-
able proof is offered that the Democrats
could have passed the Susan B. Anthony
constitutional amendment. This is held to
be the one suffrage hope of tie Eastern
women. II would have put up to the
states the question of nation wide suffrage
only becoming law when thirty six
states had voted affirmatively. This was
done on the income tax and direct election
of United States senators.
But it was not done on equal suffrage
Democrats in the house buried the mea-
sure in committee; the senate forced it to
defeat through premature vote; fourteen
times President Wilson refused his help.
The National Womans party does not
say for whom to vote. 1t points to five
other Presidential candidates, and simply
says, DO not vote for the Democratic
party" and leaves the matter of choice
to the voters conscience.
lnez m.iho..aud will come to Colorado
after touring Arizona. On Monday. Oct.
so, Miss Milholland will speak in Denver
at the Broadway theater. Wednesday,
Nov. | , she will address noon meeting
at Colorado Springs, and that same night
she will speak in Pueblo at the Grand
opera house.

TOMATO VINE - FEET HIGH
Former Residents of Rocky Ford Use
Ladders to Pluck Tomatoes


Thru the courtesy of our old friend.
George H. Taylor, The Enterprise is
in receipt of copy of the San Diego
Sun picturing Mr.. and Mrs. David Nor
row, also former residents of Rocky
Ford, and their 12-foot tomato vine.
The picture was followed by the follow
ing story:
Last May. David Morrow set out
tomato plant or two in his garden at
1440 Lincoln avenue.
He didn't think much of it at the time.
But when the vine began to grow so
rapidly that three foot extensions were
put on the frames every little while, he
contracted for the use of step-ladder
for harvest time. For the tomatoes are
growing into fine, big, juicy fruit, much
higher then a mans head.
1t will be some harvest out on Lincoln
avenue this fall
And it shows what San Diego soil
and climate will do, says Mr.. Morrow. "

for one who thru sickness was un.
able to be present-Geo. L. Nc
Clelland, our candidate for con-
gress. lie gave short biograph-
ical sketch of the mayor of Idaho
Springs whicl, effectually disprov-
ed the axiom that "a man is with
out honor in his own country" !"
He took several falls out of Ed
Heating, the Democratic carpet
bagger who would like to return
to Washington, and said to have
your newspaper ask him this ques-
ton. "Mr. Heating, where is your
homer"
Mr.. Ballreich took up some
questions touching on national
politics and closed an eloquent ad-
dress with this assertion: "There
is something worse than war, and
that's the man who enjoys his
! peace thru cowardice."

MORE SCHOOL GROUNDS

Enlarge Fairgrounds

AT the monthly meeting Of the
school board on Tuesday evening
it was decided to close with the
offer of the Swiuk estate for the
lots adjoining the Liberty school
building on the north, for which
there had been some "dickering"
going on lately. The buildings
that have occupied these lots will
be moved as soon as possible, ac-
cording to the resolution of the
board. and the entire block between
Swink and Chestnut avenues ex-
cepting the space occupied by the
school buildings will be converted
into playground sothat the child.
rem may be kept off the streets
during their recreation periods.
Go To Springs
The football squad has arranged
to go to Colorado Springs tomor-
row Saturday and will tackle the
high school team of that city. Our
boys are aiming high and it is
sincerely hoped that they may ac-
quire some new "kinks" that will
prove useful in interscholastic
league games.
Vacation Next Week
All the schools in this district
will close on Tuesday next for the
remainder of the week, to allow
the teachers to attend the Colorado
Teachers convention in Pueblo.
According to reports they're all
going. How many Tickets?
You said you would like to pat
ronize a good lyceum course. Now's

guaranteed to be satisfactory or
your money cheerfully refunded.
