Three COUNTIES MAY

Now Look for 500 Majority

OUTLOOK BRIGHT TO

Special TO THE ENENtNG luLRNAL.
HARRINGTON Del. OCT %. Thi
has been Republican week in the
Ninth Representative District Tho
races al the Harrington Driving Parb
Association on Monday drew barge
crowds Including all n The State can
didates OF the RepuL .icm ticket. and
from the manner in which they were
received by Republicans and Demo.
Gratis alike. # is safe to predict that
lower Kent county viii assist 10 roll.
ing up one Of the largest maloritcs
the Republicans have ever seen in re-
cent years. What Is true OF lower
Kent rs also true OF that part OF Sus-
sex county bordering on 20 the Kent
line for a distance OF twenty miles or
more.
While the Democrats have had two
meetings In Harrington within the
past two weeks Republican scnti-
ment is by no means dormant and
alons with Democratic dissatisfac
tion IN parts of the lower districts OF
that they have the best chance they
have had in years not only Of invad-
ing the heretofore rock-ribbed Demo-
cratic district Of Kent county but Of
capturing IL by a substantial major
ity.
The statements in the Alfred 7. du-
pont Wilmington organ that Sussex
county is strong for the so-called In
dependents and party wreckers were
never more clearly refuted than yes
terday. when tho Kent county candi-
dates on the Republican State ticket
including George M Fisher Charles
J. Luff and A. A. Watson. returned from
q trip through Sussex county with
the report that the third party move
ment was fading away. that the Re
publicans Of Sussex county, true and
loyal as they are 10 the organization.
would not only support the state
ticket as made out in Dover on Au-
gust %. but thai they predicted Sus-
sex county. State and county ticket
would be elected by up 10 500 ma
iority.
Kent County Chairman Hirons is
confident in his predictions that Kent
county will show a Republican major
itv Of from 100 20 200.
While the Democrats in the two
lower counties are putting on a bold
front and boasting OF their large
claims for the State and county tickets
there are those among the party. who,
knowing cond tions as they really ex-
list. are making no claims whatever as
20 success for their party On Novem
her Z. That the Democrats have made
mistakes in the selection Of some Of
their State and county, candidates is
not denied. but rather than STIR up
trouble by having any OF them with
draw. they are simply taking chances.
hoping against hope that they may
win out.

Instead Of taking votes away from

WAR SPIRIT STRONG
IN CITY OF FL PASO

Ell Paso, Mar. 25.--El Paso. war
capital OF the United States, is frank
ly for war. The more war the better.
Ell Paso will like It. Mexico In
Americas hands is Ell Paso's dream.
It's hotel lobbies today are lined
with millionaires who have made
their stakes in northern Mexico and
who dream of the day Uncle Sam will
throw his protection over the rich
mining and cattle region Of the south
and allow them to pile up their mil
lions without fear OF revolution.
They are frankly adventurers.
Some have discarded the high boots
for patent leather pumps, the horse
for the motor. Others, new pro-
ducts, have still the look OF the
pioneer. For all. Mexico In Ameri-
can hands, spells millions.
Hell, amt we Americans Amt

CANNED BEANS VS.. SUGAR BEETs

CANNED BEANS VS.. SUGAR BEETS
Recently couple of gentlemen
who are attempting to build up an
industry at town not more than 35
miles from Grants Pass asked a re-
sident Of this metropolis OF the Rogue
what chance there was OF placing the
product of their institution in the
business houses here. They said that
the canned goods which they pre-
pared for the trade could not be beat
en- in the markets. Especially did
they praise the merits of their can
ned beans. OF which they had a great
quantity unsold. The Grants Passite
told the gentlemen that there was no
sentiment in this city that would
initiate against their product; then
another phase OF the question pre-
sented itself. To attempt to sell
those beans in Grants Pass would
mean ruin for the people who grew
them. II the business men OF that
town not more than 35 miles away
would burn gallons OF gasoline in
travelling around to get the farm
ers to repudiate contracts and
refuse to grow sugar beets that
would be shipped 10 Grants
Pass, what might they not do to a
farmer who grew beans and then had
them shipped to this city for the
populace TO eat? No doubt the people
OF that town are q consistent people.
They would not make flesh OF one
problem and fowl Of another. So,
much as we might wish to eat those
most excellent canned beans, II is
no doubt entirely out Of the range OF
probability that the opportunity will
ever be presented

BOYS IN MEXICO

Field Headquarters. Mexico. Mar.
25.--This period will so down in
history as the American army's hard
winter Of 10" After more than q
week Of blazing hot days and cold
nights, q cyclonic wind swept down
off the Sierra Madres to the west,
carrying sleet, snow and sand. The
men suffered from cold. but more
from the sand, Lose silt slipped In
to the tents and impregnated the
food. Sometimes it was impossible
TO see ten feet ahead in the sand.
With dry weather prevailing. de-
tachments are operating to the south
and southwest, moving rapidly. There
has been no communication with
them for some time. because Of the
of the aeroplanes to fly in
the strong, shifting wind.
Colonia Dublan and Mormon vii
lagos nearby are furnishing the SOL
diers with chickens. preserves. candy,
tortillas and chile. They get good
prices for everything. The colony is
a pretty little village of brick houses.
surrounded by little apple, plum and
peach trees, with flowers blooming
and children still going to school.
One youngster referred to villa as
that old devil"
The men are cheerful, but restless
to get chance at Villa.
