TEDDY FLAYS THE
WILSON POLITICS

New York, Oct. 30.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, answering President VIII
sons appeal for return of Demo
cratic majority in congress, urged
voters of the nation, In an address
here. to transfer control TO Repubh-
can leadership. Such an outcome of
the election, he declared, would as
sure "our allies that America is de-
termined TO speed up the war and In
sist on unconditional surrender" OF
the enemy and would serve notice on
Germany and her vassal states" that
they would have to deal henceforth
with the resolute and straightfOr-
ward soul of the American people and
not merely with the obscure purpose
and wavering will Of Mr.. Wilson"
Democrats the Opposition.
Declaring that half of the leaders
OF the presidents own party oppos-
ed him when he had committed him
self to war measures Mr.. Roosevelt
asserted that heads Of the Republi-
can organization in congress support
cd the administration when a declar-
alton of war was needed, when there
was demand for the draft, when
the army was sent overseas and when
money was required by taxation or
by loans.
A Bitter Jest in House.
Rebuking what he termed the ser
Witty" of Democratic leadership, the
colonel said 1t was small wonder
that in the cloak rooms Of the house
the bitter jest circulates: Here's to
our czar, last IN war, first toward
peace, long may he wayer"
Mr.. Roosevelt criticised the gener-
al course Of the administration thru
out the war, declaring:
"In the positions most vital to the
conduct of the war, and in the posi-
tiOns now most important in con
nection with negotiating peace he re-
timed or appointed men without the
slightest fitness for the performance
OF the tasks, whose sole reconfmenda-
tion was supple eagerness to serve
Mr.. Wilson personally and to serve
Mr. wilson's party insofar as such
service benefited Mr. wilson"
Regarding his selection Of candi-
dates, he said: Henry Ford has an
that he does not believe In
that he thinks the flag Is
silly and does not believe IN It, and
that when this war is over he will
pull the flag down and never hoist 1t
again. The son Of this multi million
aire stays mt home while hundreds OF
thousands Of men of small means
leave their wives and children and go
10 the war. But Mr. Wilson is sup
porting Mr.. Ford for the Senate.
There are dozens of such eases; and
the only explanation possible of the
Presidents attitude Is that he makes
adherence to his personal fortunes
and not loyalty to the Nation, the acid
test in accordance with which he
gives or withholds support.

CANAL WOULD
CAUSE DAMAGE
Mrs. Bowen, of Clint, Says
Her Ranch Would SUI
fer Materially.

Claiming that the survey Of
drainage canal in the lower valley
across her ranch, adjoining Clint,
contemplates serious damage to the
property, Mrs. W. H. Bowen told The
Herald Friday afternoon that It was
true that she had demanded that the
drainage crew stop work. but that
she had not ordered them off the
property, where the men had re-
NAMED, repairing machinery. She
said when she called on the workmen
to stop work they told her they had
instructions not to stop unless the
demand was made with a gun, and
that a gun was shown to them. Mrs.
Bowen said. referring to a report
from the FL Paso Water Users asso-
citation Of the stoppage Of the work;
Claim Decision Refused.
I'VE had agreed with president J.
A. Smith to appoint a board of arbi-
tration to set the value of the land
originally wanted for the canal, and
the board was composed Of T. D.
Porcher. OF the water users; Pat DO.
Ian, of Clint, for Mrs. Bowen. and
these two selected judge J. E Bowen
as the third arbitrator. They arrived
at a valuation of $50 an acre for the
land actually used by the canal Al
ter this agreement Mr.. Smith refused
to accept their decision and proceed
ed TO order the canal builders onto
the ranch at night. The next morn
ing I went out and requested the
men to stop work.
Says Would Be Serious Damage.
I'VE understand from men who
know real estate values that the
canal. as now planned. would cut our
ranch in two and deDriye us OF irriga-
ton water. probably reducing the
value of the land materially. The
canal would run within ten feet Of
our residence. throwing Up a sand
bank nearly 20 feet high. We intend
to make a test case Of the matter"
