Danish Press Anglers Germans

LONDON, Aug. 21.-A Reuter- dispatch
from Copenhagen says: THE Norddeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung. the German official or
gan, prints a furious attack on the Danish
press for its lack of impartiality. What
asks the newspaper. is the Danish press
driving at with its continuous attacks on
Germany and it's servile demonstrations Of
sympathy for our enemies? If the Danish
press expresses the public opinion of Dem
mark, 1t gives food for serious reflection"

DOVER, Del, Aug. 21.--The anti-organ-
izaton followers of Alfred I. du Pont, un-
s,sturbed by what is called their defeat at
che primaries on Saturday, began arriving
here early this morning prepared to work
MI, plans for the defeat OF United States
Senator Henry A. du Pont on the floor of
the Republican convention tomorrow. The
regular Republican organization leaders
apparently confident Of victory, are making
no effort to get on the ground early and
they probably will not arrive here until
late this afternoon.
Despite the contention of Colonel du
Points supporters that they elected 100 of
the 160 delegates to the nominating con.
vention at the Saturday primaries, the op.
positlon forces refuse to admit defeat The
fight in the pre-convention caucuses and on
the floor of the conventions, they declare
will be even more bitter than the primary
battle.
1t is admitted by both factions that the
allegiance of a number of the delegates
IA not certain. AS 81 votes are sufficient
10 control the convention and the OrganIza-
tion leaders claim only 100 of the delegates,
neutral political observers point out that
this uncertain element at the convention
may prove to be the biggest factor in de-
termning the outcome.
Among the offices to be filled at the con-
ventiOn IOTnOTTOW are InOSe or United Statea
Senator Congressman, Governor, Lieuten.
ant Governor, State Treasurer, Insurance
Commissioner, Attorney General and Au-
ditor General. Virtually the entire fight is

MAKING TIRES OF
 ARIZONA RUBBER

Although much has been heard in the east of the discovery of the prac- ticability of the manufacture of gum and rubber from the ocotillo. since the organization of the Arizona Chicle Gum company, it has remained for L. B. Johnson. president of the company and Leo Alldredge, one of the stock holders of the recently organized cor pOration, to carry the news to the Pa cific coast. And .so effectively has this been done, the coast papers are carrying an unusual amount of news matter relating to the important dis covery which promises to give to the United States an unlimited supply of home manufactured chewing gum and home manufactured rubber of the highest grade.
 Word received by telegraph yester- day by H. E. Shrum, local representa- tive of the company, from President Johnson indicates that his demonstTa- ton of the past few days of the ease with which the valuable product is eX- tracted from Ocotillo brush has been attracting unusual attention. Not only has he demonstrated that it is possible to extract chicle from the common cactus, but that this same cactus pro- Vides rubber of an exceptional grade. put bl lilt ldl etHt lflf liAAttiAtAAeAN UT % CTS on the coast is now engaged in making set of tires from the Ari- zona product. These tires are to be given every known test to demonstrate their true worth. It is quite likely that another set will soon be sent to Arizona to be attached to some ma chine here for demonstration pur- poses.
 Mir. Shrum was much elated over the news from President Johnson. He said that the Arizona Chicle Cum company products are certain to come into their own within a short time.

"The light Overland Model 75B road ster is daily becoming more and more popular with travelling salesmen all over the country. It enables them to cover their territory with greater speed and efficiency and is a great help to fattening their pay envelopes" says H. H. Hotchkiss, local Overland dealer
 A big tire company has about 275 Overland cars in use among it's sales men. in which are included a number of 75 B roadsters That 1t has found this means of travel far superior to that of the railroad transportation can readily be seen from the fact that scarcely a month passes in which ad- ditional cars are not secured by this establishment
