TEXANS WENT 100 FAR

"Buy it in Texas" has been the
slogan of the commercial organiza-
tions in that state for a series of
months. The newspapers have been
Offering advice to everybody to induce
all Texans to do all their buying in
Texas. The campaign seemed
fraught with so much real good to-
ward drawing a line about the state
so that consumers would buy only
from Texas merchants, that the COM
mercial organizations really became
in earnest about the matter.
SO thoroughly worked-up over the
matter have they become that they
have called a meeting to be held in
Austin on the Goth Of this month to
try to get the railroad commission to
make the shipping rates so that con
sumers will be forced to buy in Tex
as. They were not content in making
an educational campaign out of the
matter, but are attempting to use
force. The commercial clubs have
evidently gone a step too far.
The Farmers Union has taken rec
ognition of the matter and they are
protesting against any such rules by
the railroad commission The farm
ers of Tarrant county, in which Fort
Worth is situated, have come out in
the open and demand the right to
buy in the open market, where they
please, and from whom they please
and to sell where they can sell to the
best advantage. The farmers have
gotten into the press of the state witt
their demands, and the result is
bound to revert against the cam
paign made by the commercial organ
izations. The farmer is just like any
other class of citizens. He is willing
to be led. but he refuses to be driven
After all that is said, and to be
downright honest with ourselves, the
trade-athome doctrine is somewhat
like prohibition,-it Is for the Other
fellow. 1t is better for a commun
ity to trade at home. No town car
be built up without the trade of the
home people. The money spent a
home is the money that supports tn,
schools builds the roads. pays cour
expenses, and furnishes police pro
lection. One dollar spent at home
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-01-18

is worth hundred spent in some
other market. While that is true, it
is also true that the attempt to use
force is wrong. There is too much
selfshness and too much greed in
commercialism to give any one class
an advantage in law or executive
rulings over another class.
Texas has ruined its campaign in
augurated for the purpose of building
greater state and to make its home
merchants rich.

IOWA CONGRESSMAN
FAVOR SUFFRAGE
Charles A. Kennedy, Senators Ken
yon and Cummins Are All Fa-
vorabIe to the Issue.

Iowa's congressman believe the
women OF Iowa are fully capable and
should have the right Of exercising
the privileges of equal suffrage. This
support is one of the most encourag-
ing features of the Iowa campaign,
for no more cordial support could be
had than that number of the Iowa
members in congress are giving the
cause. Twelve of the thirteen mem
bers of the Iowa delegation are for
equal suffrage, and there are no
more enthusiastic suffrage work
ers than Senator W. s. Kenyon and
Congressman Haugen.
One of the latest additions to the
suffrage ranks is Congressman Thorn
as J. Steele of Washington, the lone
democrat from Iowa in the United
States congress. Congressman Steele
has just Informed the Iowa Mems
league for Woman Suffrage that it is
his intention to vote for woman
suffrage in Iowa.
The attitude Of Senators Cummins
and Kenyon on the suffrage question
is too well known to need retelling
1t Is sufficient to say that Senator
Kenyon hopes to be able to spend
some time in Iowa making an active
speaking campaign for the suffrage
amendment Despite the fact that
Senator Cummins is busy with his
own campaign and important affairs
in congress, he is displaying much in
terest in the Iowa campaign. 81 shall
be glad to do whatever / can. and
sincerely hope you will win,' is the
senator's latest message to Iowa suf-
fragists.
A few weeks ago, Congressman
Burton E. Sweet, of the third district,
expressed his interest in the suffrage
campaign, stating that it was his hope
that equal suffrage would win in

CADILLAC AGAIN
FIRST in TIRE
MILE CONTEST
Second Time In Two Years-Wins
First Prize With 27,220-
Mile Record.

For the second time in two
years a Cadillac has won first
prize IN the annual tire mileage
contest conducted by the Ajax
Rubber company, Inc. The result
of the contest, which covers
years use Of its tires, has just
been announced by the Ajax COM
pany.
This year the first prize of $500
goes to George c. Mathis, who
secured the remarkable tire serv-
ice represented in 27,220 miles.
Mr. Mathis drives Cadillac for
Mrs. J. d. Jackson, of New Haven,
Conn. His record is $500 miles
better than that of last year
head winner, Garth c. Jensen, who
hung up a mark Of 21.3S5 miles.
also with a Cadillac, owned by
John n. Welsby, of Stevens Point,
Wis. 1t Is required that contest
ing mileages be sworn to by the
owner of the car and also by the
driver where one is employed.
Mathis won a smaller prize with
the same car in last years con-
test, with a record of Ii 400 miles.
The next highest mark in the
contest just closed was 25.64S
miles, which brought the $500
prize to Charles V. Finfrock, Of
Dayton, Ohio, who drives a Pierce
Arrow for Maurice Costello.
There were ten Cadillacs among
the more important of the 20S
prize winners, and eight of these
Cadillacs exceeded 10000 miles,
their average being 14,733 miles.
AS in last years contest, there
was a larger number of Cadillacs
among the winners than any 9th
er one make of car
Thus another year serves to
emphasize the interesting feature
which was also developed last
year, namely, that the cars of
lighter weight do not show strong
ly among the highest mileage rec
ords. Seven of the winners of the
first eight prizes were drivers Of
cars which are generally regard
ed as the more substantial types,
while only one of the 500 prize
winners was a light car
