NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Robert Bac- on, who was candidate for the Re publican nomination for U. S. Senator from New York at the recent primar- ies, made public tonight copies of an "open letter" he has written to Presi- dent Wilson, with caption saying that it is a reply 'to an attack upon him by President Wilson in the course of his speeches at Shadow Lawn last Saturday.
 The letter in part says:
 ''The statement that it was my in tention if elected senator to promote the interests of one side in the pres ent war in Europe and thereby vio- late my oath of office, is beneath con tempt. My respect for the President of the United States saves me from characterizing such a statement such as it deserves. leave my judgement of its fals;ty to the public.

COOPERATION URGED WITH
 M|LKMEN
Dairymen, Restaurant Keepers and Board of Health Hold Meeting at Which Time
 Policy of Board Is Outlined.

Asking that cooperation, instead of antagonism, characterize the relations between the milk dealers and restaur- ant men of the Warren District with the board of health, Dr. Herendeen, city health officer, Dr. Hunt, county physician, and Dr. R. B. Durfee, city and county bacteriologist, last evening addressed a gathering of milkmen and restaurant men at the Central school
 Tt is not our purpose to antagonize you men," said Dr. Herendeen. Tt is, rather, our aim to help you and in that way raise the quality of the milk, supplied in the city and in the War ren District. to a high degree. We want to cooperate with you and aid you in solving any of the problems that may confront the producers of the product.
 We have concluded" continued Dr. Herendeen, that with the aid of the newspapers we will not have to take these cases to law, though the state statutes are very plain in regards to the matter. The newspapers, by pub fishing results of average tests in the meteorological laboratory, can do more good than any other agency by giving these results. The people want pure milk and will certainly patronize those dairymen who produce the best"
 Dr. Hunt explained the reason for the restaurant mems attendance by saying that their establishments would be submitted to the same scrutiny. as regards their milk, as the dairymen. This will protect both the dairymen and the restaurant keepers. The board ing houses will also come under this head.
 Dr. Durfee, finally, explained the re- Quirements of the law to the men pres ent and later took all of them into the recently completed laboratory where all of the tests are made.

George J. Stoneman, chairman of the Democratic state central committee, and one of the most prominent lawyers in the state, declared last evening while visiting Bisbee, that the Demo cracy of the state and country was certain to be triumphant this fall.
 This is not time for Democratic apathy or wavering," said the visitor. "Our national and state tickets are de- serving of the honest effort of every Democrat during this campaign. l be- lieve that Arizona will remain loyal to the party which has done so much for the people of this county. during the Wilson administration of four years.

 The principal speakers in the north ern campaign have been Governor Hunt, Senator Ashurst, Congressman Hayden and Wiley E. Jones. candidate for attorney general.

FL PASO, Oct 13.-The cordial re- lations between the American puni- tive expedition and the neighboring Carranza authorities is the subject of an article in Fl Democrata, a Carran- "a organ published in Chihuahua City. which is regarded here as having a changed policy toward the United States. looking to a more extended CO., operation against Villa.
 It was this paper that brought the
 first news to Fl Paso of tho agitations early last June for the retirement of the punitive forces. Crimes were completed in its columns against the Americans and its editorials were de voted to attacks on American motives and methods. Never before now has it been known to speak of the eXpedi- tionary soldiers otherwise than as potential enemies.
 In an issue that has just reached the border. the paper makes a display of an interview with a Mexican ad- vocate returned from Casas Grandes who describes the peace ana prosper ity in that district and the spirit of cooperation between the American and Mexican troops. He said there were no longer any complaint against the conduct of the Americans. who furnished food and work to many Mex jeans in road making and who asked permission of the nearest CarranZa authorities to effect scouting move ments. Suspected bandits taken by the Americans were now turned over to the Mexican commandant The advocate also said there was every in- dication that the Americans were pre- pared to withdraw at any time. re- garding their stay in Mexico as tenn porary.
