MICHIGAN

Milo D. Campbell, president of the
National Milk Producers federation,
appears to be trying to emulate John.
R.. Howard and C. H. Gustafson of
the Farm Bureau federation. Howard
is a great champion of the so-called
Harding policies. Gustafson entered
the Nebraska primary race to try to
draw enough votes from Howell to
nominate a G. O.. P. Campbell ac-
lively campaigned for Senator Town
send and against the farmer-labor
candidate in Michigan. - e
Townsend is close colleague Of
Newberry, and on all other important
matters is good G. O. P. He Sc
cured 100000 votes to 100000 for
Baker, the farmer-labor candidate,
and 10000 for two other candidates.
Townsend thus got about two-ffths
of the vote. Townsend is charged
with spending 100000; and his cam
paign manager admits spending $780,
OO0-twice as much as the law per-
mits
What business has Campbell in
such company against a farmer
worker candidate? Or if he has a
place in it, what business has he in
organized farmer circles?
Campbell did not make a mistake
this time. He has been up to G. O. P.
tricks before.
A Democrat has good chance Of
election in Michigan.

Brookhart comes about as far
from being a Republican as the

most of the 'tred" they see in
Brookhart is in the eye of the old

In Idaho the League and labor can
didates are to be found on the Pro-
gressive party ticket. A third party
was made necessary by G. O. P. re-
peal of the primary law as a method
of fighting the League.
The repeal is an element of strength
to the Progressive party because only
narrow group of the Republican
party approved the destruction Of the
primary. Senator Borah is making
tour of the state to appeal to voters
in his masterful fashion to send men
pledged to restore the primary to the
state legislature.

GROWERS WANT
$3.50 MINIMUM
PRICE PER TON

The Mountain States Beet Growers
association is continuing its effort to
obtain from the Great Western Sugar
company minimum price of $3.50 IN
contracts for the 1922 beet acreage,
it is disclosed in bulletin beng
sent to growers in this district from
the office of the secretary j. D. Pan
cake of Loveland The Sugar COM
pany offered to the growers guar
anteed minimum of SIS a ton. The as
sociation will conduct its negotiations,
it is stated, through sixteen men, each
one representing the growers OF a
factory district.
"You may be assured" says the
secretary's bulletin, "that your inter-
ests are looked after by sixteen men,
one from each factory, and they are
striving to obtain for you every dol.
lar that the sugar company should
pay; also that they, keeping in mind
the industry, will not knowingly ask
such a price that it will endanger the
company"
By way of argument the bulletin
adds:
"The industry is protected by a tar.
riff in which the people of the United
States pay $4.12 per ton out of their
pockets. We are asking that they
pay US $1.38 above the protected price
They only offer US ss cents above
the protected price. One contract in
Wisconsin gives the grower about
fifty-fifty and six dollars minimum
We are led to believe that the Great
Western is as efficient as any COM
pany. We also offered contract in
which we proposed to take not fifty
fifty, but only forty-seven per cent.
This was also rejected"
Since the meeting of growers re-
presentatives and officials of the sug-
ar company the growers of this dis
trict have not met and have taken
no general action with regard to the
contract on S. minimum basis.

this had occurred while the Jimenez
family was living at the house where
Pantoja lived; that she told her hus-
band about it and that they moved
away and to Sedgwick on this account.
There were only two witnesses for the
defense.
The instructions were read to the
jury by Judge Stephenson at the op-
ening of the Tuesday afternoon ses-
sion, this being followed by the pleas
of Attorneys w. H. Pound and C. N.
Robson, in behalf of the prosecution
and defense respectively. The case
was given to the jury at about four
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. At about
nine o'clock Tuesday evening the jury
brought in their verdict of Guilty"
of murder in the first degree, and the
penalty fixed at life Imprisonment
in the penitentiary at Canon City.
Judge Stephenson expects to return
to Julesburg next Monday, at which
time he will officially sentence the
convicted man, as five days was al
lowed to file motion for new trial,
which is the usual court procedure.
Thus ends the second murder trial to
be held here within the past four
months, and as the result two men
have been convicted of murder in the
first degree and the penalty fixed by
the jury at life Imprisonment.
