The Real Boom

The Salt River Valley demonstrates what can be accomplished with a little water and today land in this valley represents an increase in value from 300 per cent to 1000 per cent.
 The government is not going to halt in its program of retaining valuable agricultural land, in fact the success of the Roosevelt Dam will stimulate the development of other valleys.
 The far sighted farmer and investor sees this opportunity.
 He realizes that the Florence Valley at Florence, Arizona is rapidly devel- oping into another Salt River Valley with its assured rise in land values.
 Therefore while you still have the opportunity, purchase land in this Florence Valley at the present low prices and reap immediate returns.
 We have several tracts, some of which are plowed and ready to plant to cotton.
 We have one large tract with water rights and at the present time is under irrigation. When you see this land you will realize what an exceptionally low price Is asked if taken at once.
 Call at our office and let us give you full information regarding these lands and the Florence Valley

MANY ISSUES CONTRIBUTED TO
DEFEAT OF DEMOCRATS

NOT A REPUTATION OF
WILSON'S WAR POLICIES.

Man Power.
[By E. G. Dougherty.l

Washington. Nov. 11.-various ex-
plantations are being advanced in
Washington political circles on the
failure of the democratic party to re-
tain control in congress by a working
majority. The republican victory ID
not regarded as a reputation of the
presidents war policies, but rather OF
paciflst democratic congress. The
voters are believed to have desired to
insure that the war will be prosecuted
vigorously to a complete German de-
feat and that once peace comes they
will have a congress TO carry out their
wishes on domestic problems.
Among the outstanding factors In
the election resultes as seen from the
national capital viewpoint are the fol-
lowing: Y
First-President Wilson'S appeal fol
a partisan congress instead of loyal
congress, which aroused the latent
party spirit and resentment OF millions
of loyal republicans thruout the nation.
Coupled with this was the fear of one
man power or an autocracy within a
democracy.
Second-Discriminat In favor oil
the south against the north, the most
slaring example being the fixing and
reducing of the price of wheat and per-
hitting cotton to go untouched, much

Third ExtravaSance and waste Of

Fourth--control OF all important

Fffth-Fear, perhaps. ungrounded,
that with a democratic and personally

consent to a premature peace. Reports
from the middle western states show
this to have been n rather important

Sixth-Refusal by the administration
to consult republican leaders on ques-
tons Of policy; refusal to utilize the
services OF Col. Roosevelt; the shelving
of Major General Leonard Wood. and
a number OF other less Irritating acts,
Republicans drove home the one-man
government argument. It Is believed
here that many voters who were In
clined to vote the democratic ticket
before the presidential appeal voted
the republican ticket to make sure the
defeat in its infancy of a growing au-
thocratic presidential power. Incident

nipped successfully any third term
