PURCHASE PLAN
INCREASES ANTI
i. S. FEELING
(Bv Associated Pressl

Washington, Jan. 30.-Agitation
for the acquisition of Lower Califor-
MIA and other Mexican territory by
the United States has increased the
anti-Anerican feeling in Mexico, &C.
cording to State Department adviees.
Mexican newspapers and prominent
newspapers of northern Mexico are
making bitter criticism of the pro-
posal. The critics attack the alleged
territorial designs of the United
States, with little or no mention of
the fact that the plan contemplates
purchase, with Mexico making the
sale.

Last week or the week before a
good democratic newspaper roundly
condemned S. Thruston Ballard, who
is the candidate on the Republican
ticket for Lieutenant Governor, be-
cause Ballard and Ballard sold flour
too high. This week this same gentle
man is condemned because Ballard
and Ballard sell flour too low. The
same Democratic paper even want
some BRO. Rhea" consulted. You
ought to get Bro. Rhea preach a SER
mon on how to reduce the good farm
ers' taxes or something of the sort.
Even soul reaching sermon
on reduction of the state debt
would help some. When a man
calls upon a Rhea for sermons
it is evidence of the fact that he is
getting short on probachers. Es-
pecially if his first name happens to
be John or Tom. These same Rheas
hail from the county of Logan, where
the county election commissioners
are charged with wantonly ignoring
the wishes of Republicans in the APP
pointment of precinct election Off
GERS, going out of the beaten and law
full paths to appoint men not recon-
mended and who are said to be an
tagonistic to the Republican party.
And what Is more, these self-same
Rheas are in absolute control of ev-
erything democratic in the good coun-
ty of Logan. Please don't ask us to
listen to sermons preached by that
bunch of Rheas.

the Hartford Herald means by the

jail for uttering what they thought

WRITER NRGoTIATEs DELuGE
Ford Never Falters as It Sails Over
Water Soaked Roads on High

Will Gahagan, the famous sport
writer, who is also walking ency-
clopedia" Of information on titled
horses and their doings for the last
couple enthusiastically rode from
Randall to Cleveland in 800 but
here's his story as. it appeared in
'eThe Horseman" for August: &
"In company with Ken Scott, turf
writer on the Plain. Dealer and q
couple of other scribes, I made the
trip to the city in 'Scotty's' machine.
Said machine is manufactured in De-
troit by gentleman by the name Of
Ford. Now, they make all sorts Of
fun Of that Ford machine, but after
that trip from Randall to Cleveland
the other day, I'm convinced that
the Ford cars are not only fast but
they have staying qualities as we'll.
They should have been used in get
ting. the soldiers across the ocean.
"In the low spots where the water
has stopped many Of the high priced
boats, the little Ford didn't even
hesitate. One of the most amusing
sights Of the trip-I believe it was
the only one-was watching a gentle
man astride the hood Of big ma
chine which was standing in about
two feet Of water. He was attempt
ing to crank the machine and yet
keep out Of the water. Now that was
a hard job. Every time he gave the
crank twist, his arm went into
the water, right up to the elbow. The
good man was reciting the Lords
Prayer as we passed. At least we
surmised he was, from few words
that he uttered as our good little
craft pulled for the shore"
Like "Pop" Gears, who added a
Ford runabout to his string of thor
oughbreds, Mr.. Gahagan has discov-
cred that as "mud horse" he could
not get away from the Ford.
