DEMOCRATS CLOSE
HEADQUARTERS HERE
State Committee MoDes, Bag
and Baggage, to Albany.

The Democratic State Committee
pulled up Its last stakes in New York
City yesterday. All the furniture and
records were sent from the headquarters
in the Century Building. 1 West Thirty

we're turned over to a stock brokerage
Arm.
This Is the first time in many years
the Democratic organization has been
without home here. When David b.
Hill was State leader the headquarters
were in Albany, but invariably a suite
OF rooms was taken in some hotel in the
city for campaigns, and in the intervals
these hotels were always the gathering
places OF Democrats. For years the
Hoffman House was as much associated
with the Democratic State organization
as the Fifth Avenue Hotel was with the
Republican. For q time the Hotel Vic
! toria housed the Democratic State Com
| mittee.
In 1910, when John A. Dix was can
! didate for Governor and Winfield s.
Huppuch was State Chairman, the
headquarters were opened in the Gen.
| fury Building. They had been there
| ever since. In the last campaign they
were nominally moved to Syracuse in
, order to take off the Tammany curse
since then the rooms In West Thirty.
fourth street had been practically de-
! serted, although they had been open
every day. With the election Of Gov
Smith and the selection of w. w. Far
| ley. who lives in Albany, as Chairman
OF the State Committee, II was decided
that 1t would be more convenient to have
the headquarters in Albany. So In the
| future they are to be there.

U. s. RUBBER COMPANY's
GREAT PLANTATION.

Far around on the other side OF
the world, where the fierce rays Of a
tropical sun beat down on the Indian
Ocean, is the great rubber planta-
tion OF the United States Rubber
Company on the Dnteh island Of su-
matra.
Yankee genius for handling big
business ventures in big way finds
one OF its best examples in the es-
tablishment of this enormous plan
tation SO far from American shores.
Though faced with jungle conditions,
the greatest rubber company In the
world has set up the largest rubber
plantation in tho world, and has at
the same time set to working in the
midst of Asiatic environment germ
of American ideas and methods that
is slowly but steadily bringing about
improved conditions among the 20,-
600 Malays and Mongols who toll on
the plantation. A perfectly equipped
hospital manned by American and
European physicians has already won
a royal medal from the Dutch gov
eminent.
The big tract covers seventy square
miles. 1t is a great orchard Of state
ly trees growing under high state
of cultivation. Large stats Of tree,
soil and rubber experts are constant
ly finding new methods of increasing
and improving the output.
Users Of United States tires have
direct interest in this plantation,
because by growing and preparing
its own rubber, this company Is en-
abled to prevent adulteration and de-
terioration and to give high quality
and uniformity to the crude rubber
used In its tires.
