COTTON SEED MARKET NOMINEE FOR SENATE. IS DESTROYED BY WINNING SUPPORT IF DEMOCRATIC TARIFF FORMER SERVICE MEN


 YUMA. Oct. 31. An entirely new angle of the cotton situation, as it affects the growers in the four valleys of the state of Arizona, which are de- voted to the production of cotton, Pima long staple or short staple, nas developed with the condi- ton of the cotton seed market.
 Since tho discovery, few years ago, Of the utility of the seed of the cotton boil for various commercial pur- poses, the seed, which for generations had been thrown away. suddenly be- came very powerful incentive of cot ton growing and added much to the income of the farmer.
 Though the uses of cotton. seed were not related directly to the uses of cotton fiber. it has been a fact that for the past decade. in a general aspect, the price of cottonseed has followed the price of cotton. Condi- tions which affected the market price of the fiber have had corresponding influence on the price of the seed.
 Cotton Seed Hard Hit
 When. therefore. the democratic head of the federal reserve board re- fused to permit warehouse receipts and thus in single order practically bankrupted the cotton industry, he made it impossible for the fiber to find a market and so prevented the farmer at the same time from selling his seed because it is not going to the gin.
 In line with that situation. the re- lease of the English embargo on Egyp- tian cotton and the flooding of this country with the cheaply raised Nile land cotton, as well hit the sale of cot ton seed.
 The democratic tariff bill whieT opened this country to the exports oi cotton from Egypt, that is, which opened them to England, instead ot to tho farmers of the United States for English brokers own the cottor output of Egypt, also made cotton seed valueless.
 For this same democratic bill whicf gave the preference to the cotton O Egypt over the cotton of American raisers, also opened the door to tn, competitors of the cotton seed pro duced by the American farmer.
 He Is unable to sell his cotton see, today because
 Under the democratic tariff bill, tn Japanese were able to ship in im mense quantities of soy beans iron Manchuria and all the Oriental na tions were able to import peanut oil and copra.
 ! During the past year dried copri l by the shipload was brought througl the ports of the United States sen from the Philippines and the Soul Sea islands. produced by Malay Chinese eoolie and Filipino cheap labol Complete With Cotton Seed
 This conra. peanut oil and soy bea product was brought Into direct com petition with the cotton seed of th American farmer. The result was wit no tariff on it, due to the demoerati i tariff bin, the manufacturer Is able | make his oil cheaper from thes 1 Or1en3dIa GD0lle lBOQuNtS Iitdn lie tt from the American farmers cotto seed He bought the cheap Crients stuff and over night the value ( l American cotton seed was destroyed
 So that not only has Inc marke for cotton been destroyed by the com petition from Esypt. but the narke for cotton seed has been destroyed D the competition from Japan, China, in South Sea Islands and the Philippine
 So long as the present democrat tariff bill remains on the statute book the American cotton raiser will ! forced to sell his product at a loss an the profit goes to the AIalays, Chimes coolies and Egyptian low castes.
 The only possible relief according survey of the situation which h; been made by cotton experts of u country and which has been mac plain to the cotton and cotton set
 growers of the Yuma valley is for
