MEXICAN COTTON HURT
BY THE BOIL NEtWL

MEXICO CITY, December 5.-Much
alarm has been caused by the appear
ance of the pink boil worm and the
boil weevil in the Laguna district
near Torreon, Coahuila, where, it is
stated, that the cotton production has
suffered seriously, Or to the extent
OF 80 per cent The whole cotton
region was recently inspected by Au-
gust Busck, of the department of agri-
culture in Washington, who found
that only the Laguna district was af-
fected, and advised the government
that the only effective method which
has given the desired results was not
to plant cotton in the affected dis
trict for at least two years, and if
possible for three years. He stated
that he was sure that the worm had
been imported from Egypt when the
last shipment Of seed came from tha3

opposition to the President whom he
promised to support
He shows that Senator Hardwick
bolted the Democratic caucus and
helped to defeat the ship purchase
bill, which would have enable the gov
ernment to buy hundreds of ships at
bargain prices and put them under
the American flag at the very time
when southern farmers were facing
bankruptcy because there were no
bottoms to transport their cotton
across the seas.
He shows that Senator Hardwlck
voted for the declaration of war, be-
cause he did not dare to vote other
wise, but since the declaration hsa
embarrassed the government and
hampered the administration of the
President to such an extent to pro-
long the war and cost America thou
sands of American lives and millions
ct dollars. He directly charges Sea-
tor Hardwick with comforting the
enemy by the tactics he has employed
toward President Wilson's conduct of
the war, and puts him in class with
LaFollette and others whose conduct
is helping German.
The attitude of Senator Hardwick
toward the President is known
throughout the state, aud everybody
knows that Chairman Harris has been
q loyal supporter of Mr.. Wilson ever
since he was elected Hence the is
sue between them is clearcut and un-
riistakable and the people will have
no difficulty in making their choice

HAROW|CK's RECORD
ATTACKED BY HARRIS

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 5.-Thomas
W. Hardwick won his place in the
United States Senate on his promise
to the people to support President
Wilson. and ever since taking his place
h has opposed the President on prac-
tically all important measures and
policies, and is now giving aid and
comfort to the enemy by his criti-
cisms of the President'e administers
ton in time of war.
This is the issue between William
J. Harris and Senator Hardwick, as
declared by the former in his open
ing campaign announcement Saturday,
and it will be taken to the people in
every stump in the state, so that when
the race is over and the votes are
counted there can be no room for
doubt as to whether Georgians be-
lieve in supporting their government
or opposing their government in the
nations greatest crisis
On the eve of returning to Wash
ington, where he will shortly resign
as chairman of the Federal Trade
Commission in order to devote his
time to the senatorial race, Mr. Harris
gave out statement mercilessly as
