EDGERToN, WIS.,. July 8, 1920.
Conditions have been so favorable for
tobacco setting and plenty of good
plants, that transplanting of the in
tended acreage finished earlier than was
expected, other crops taken care of in
good season, all spring work finished
without crowding, in spite of shortage
of labor, that a great many growers
have found it good policy to add pieces
of land suitable for tobacco growing to
their acreage. A surprisingly large
number of Wisconsin growers have in
this manner added very materially
to the acreage intended. The reports
of assessors of the acreage is not going
to give true return of tobacco grown
in Wisconsin this summer Last years
official report for Wisconsin was 8,084
acres, yielding 81, ,O69,9 ,975 pounds. Two
or three thousand acres more may have
been the actual acreage last year, and
it does not take much credulity to be
pursuaded that this years acreage may
come near touching the high water
mark in the state. The fields never
looked better at this time of year than
they do now. Cutworms and wire
worms have given trouble in some
fields, but the farmer who kept close
watch has been able to fill in missing
plants in time to keep up the
evenness of the stand. The farmers
taking mental measure of their sheds,
and are not so sure about being able TO
house the crop, if the harvest measures
up to the present outlook. They dread
to build at present cost of material and
labor, but some are doing it and others
may have to. The buyers are keeping
close tab on the stand. Above all they
are hoping for crop that has the quail
ity in it. A crop of fancy binders would
be welcome and they hope to see that
type this year. While the 1920 crop
grows, the packers have time to take a
final measure of the remaining 1919 and
and odd lots of 1918, little of which
still remains unsold.

Vote for Fairchild

A Congressional district which
should be redeemed by the Repub-

cludes the easterly portion of the
Bronx and also Yonkers, East Ches-
ter, Mount Vernon and Pelham in
Westchester County.
The Republican candidate is Ben

Keep Murphy Out Of Albany

The contest over the Governorship
is altogether too important to lose
sight OF in this election.
There is no doubt that Governor
Smith, the idol cf Tammany Hall,
will run ahead Of his ticket.
He probably Will not run far
enough ahead to be elected Governor,
but that is possible unless every man
who believes in gooa government
votes for Judge Miller
Tammany Hall is using all is
energy to get votes for Smith. 1t is
Offering everything that it has to
barter to put him back into the exec
utive chamber
And it is doing this because every
Tammany leader knows that Smith
is for Murphy and Murphy is for
Smith and that the talk Of the indie
pendence Of the Governor is abso-
Lutte rot
In the last day Of the campaign
Tammany will increase its efforts to
reflect Smith,
All its machinery is already mo-
bilizsd for that purpose
There is no question that Governor
Smith has an engaging personality.
There is no question that he has
ability. But these qualities make him
only the more dangerous in view Of
his obedience to Tammany.
Stress is being laid on the asscr-
ton that Smith came from the peo-
pie, and therefore knows what the
people want.
But Smiths record shows that
Smith also came from Murphy, and
has in the past not cnly known what
Murphy wanted but how to get it
for him.
Elect Smith and you elect Murphy.
Elect Smith and a Democratic major
ity behind him and you cinch the grip
of Tammany on the state as firmly
as it now is clamped upon the city.
The only certain way to keep
Murphy ont Of Albany is to defeat
Smith And while you are defeating
him make the majority for Miller
so decisive that Murphy viii under
stand that mis- ambition to control
the state must be abandoned forever.
