WHY THE DRY PARTY?
Theme of Address by Prohibition
Candidate for President in This
City Tuesday Afternoon

j.. Frank Hanly, Prohibition
candidate for president and Ira
Landritb, candidate for vice pres
ident, together with a number of
other members of the party trav-
cling on the DRY Special" ar
rived in Rocky Ford on schedule
time Tuesday afternoon.
According to the arrangement
of the Otero County Law and
Order league and the ministerial
union the party was met at the
depot by goodly reception COM
mittee and the presidential aspir-
ant, campaign manager and ladies
were escorted to the Presbyterian
church, while the candidate for
vice-president and other members
of the party were taken to the
Methodist church, so that two
meetings were being held at the
same time.
A fair sized audience had as
sembled to hear Mr.. Hanly, who
was introduced by Rev. G. HI.
Stuntz and made forceful and
impassioned address for which an
editorial in the Pueblo Chieftain
of that morning on "Why the
Prohibition Party?" furnished the
theme.
He took up each plank of the
Prohibition platform to answer the
question and wound up 3O-min-
ute speech with the assertion that
"the Prohibition party is the only
party in this campaign that has
accepted the challenge of the
wholesale liquor traffic." and he
appealed to the people OF Colo
RADIO to take no backward step but
to sustain him in the mighty war.
He was followed by Ira Land
rith, who had addressed gather
ing of 300 high school students in
the Methodist church and brot a
message from them to their par
ents to keep Colorado dry The
vice-presidential candidate made
happy opening to his address by
stating that he "brot greetings
from dry Tennessee to dry Colo
rado," and hoped that they both
would stay SO dry they'd make
Sahara look like watering
place." He took crack at the
beer amendment and the assertion
that beer was not intoxicating by
stating that ''three or more per-
cent beer will make a hundred
per cent drunk"
At TIE conclusion of his address
Mr.. Landrith called for show of
hands from those who intended to
vote against the beer amendment,
and the response was unanimous.
so it appears that the Rocky Ford
voters intend doing as the speaker
admonished, "keep Colorado dry

customers to progress. he likewise will
progress? His customer is the farmer;
he is the greatest producer of any class

not have an opportunity to acquire good

in every case they are proving
very satisfactory.
The weather prospects are also
very favorable and the outlook for
harvesting and marketing a most
profitable crop of sugar beets was
never brighter in this section of
the Arkansas Valley.
Approximately 100000 tons of
sugar beets will be ground by the
Rocky Ford factory this campaign,
which means that at least one and
a quarter million dollars will be
distributed to the farmers of this
section by the American Beet
Sugar Co. In addition to this
amount about S250,000 will 20 to

THE TROUBLE WITH IOWA

81 am for good roads," shouts the
can 1idate for the office, and trusts
that the bare statement VII win favor
with the public-as though any sane
man were not in favor of good roads.
In Iowa, bunch of newspapers
tried to make Lieutenant-Govern
| Harding out to be an enemy Of good
roads and, as a consequence, NOM
mated him by an overwhelming vote.
Harding simply said he was in favor
of letting the people who were foot
ing the bills name there 'pizen" and
say what they wanted and how they
wanted it, and Harding was right.
Il. T. Meredith, candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket, also
made a speech on the road question,
and he was in favor of letting the
people have a chance to decide for
themselves what they wanted, and
Meredith is right.
About the only question in dispute
between them is in regard to the
State Highway Commission. Harding
holds the law to be dictatorial and
Iindefensible under our theory Of gov
erment. Meredith dosen't touch this
points out that the commission has
many abuses. In the main, both are
right.
However, in administering the law,
the commission has tried to use tact,
and has, in great majority Of cases,
been of real service. OF course, 1t is
natural that a few chesty boobs, such
as fill minor positions with anybody,
with the authority of the commission
| hAh It'd nCfn oil In
swell up and get their bosses in bad,
but this is an exception, and OF the
commissioners themselves, there has
been very little complaint.
Personally. the writer has the high
est regard for the members of the
commission, based upon an intimate
acquaintance. Mr.. Harding, Repub-
lican canidate for governor, has done
as much as any public man to help
secure progressive legislation for
roads, and on this we need no assur-
ance-we know by personal exper-
fence. Mr.. Meredith is also a clean
public spirited man of highest char
acter and would support any measure
for the public welfare. The attempt
to label either as "badI Dads" candi-
date or a reactionary is pueriel and
silly.
What the people of Iowa want to do
Is to elect legislature that is COM
posed of representative men and not
largely "has-beens" and accidents"
and consider this as business ques-
ton. A Republican or Democratic
road policy is quite as ridiculous as a
Republican life insurance company
or a Democratic street car company.
The only road problem is to get
value received. Cut out the red tape
and simplify the Highway Commits
sion law will be better than to totally
abolish an institution which has done
so much good.-Road Maker.

1t is the baby's business to grow

Where Adenoids Grow
Adenoids grow from the back part
