'sThere's Music In the Air.
The Gunnison Empire.

Nearly every night in Gunnison
now. The College Radio station has
been producing some most remarka-
BILE results. Saturday night and again
Tuesday night our citizens were
startled by hearing music and an
nouncements that upon Investigation
proved to be coming fron the college.
The magnovox was placed in win
dow at the college and sounds carried
as far as La Veta for certain. Tues
day evening Fort Worth music was
heard all over town, and announce
ments were made of the Community
Christmas program that were plainly
heard at a great distance from the
college. People down town stopped
on the steeets and listened in Sum-
mer time out door meetings and con-
certs are an assured thing.

FORD FLAYS ESPECIAL
INTERESTS THAT RULE
Auto Maker Commends His Old En-
plOye, Mayor Couxens

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 2.-Flaying the
special Interests" that have con-
trolled the United States so long,
Henry Ford declared Saturday night
that "if senator win go down to
Washington and begin to sweep off
the books all the laws that make for
privilege, he will be opening great
field Of service"
Mr.. Ford's attack on the senate and
the laws that body has passed was
made ina statement indorsing the ap-
pointment of James Couzens, mayor
of Detroit, to succeed Truman H.
Newberry in the United States senate.
Years ago Couzens secured employ
ment with the Ford Motor company
as bookkeeper and rose rapidly,
finally being made vice president.
Later he sold his stock to Ford for
$50, 100000.
"A better man than Mr.. Couzens
could not have been picked" said
Ford.
''There are two things for which
Mr.. Couzens can be absolutely relied
on; first, he will never spend a nickel
for political advantages; second, he
will never let a stupid party allegi-
ance lead him into any situation, or
commit him to any policy he believes
is not for the good of all people"
do you think Senator Couzens will
line up with the progressive element
in the senate?" Mr.. Ford was asked
81 don't know anything about that,
but l should judge that he might.
know one thing-the special interests
that have controlled the senate so
long will never buy him with money
nor move him by promises of power
and position nor fool him by hattery
-Jim's too big man to be hood
wihked by any of these moves. He's
been in politics SO long he knows all
the ropes of the game. And men like
that get into the United States sem
ate so seldom that 1 guess Couzens
will just have to line up with the pro-
gressive element to feel at home"
