VICTORYFOR DEMOCRATS
CLAYTON LOSES FAST
GAME TO GUYMON TEAM

Flush with victory over Dalhart,
the Clayton eleven met GuymOns
fast grid men and found an obstacle
they could not overcome. But the
local high school boys have no alibi
70 offer, save that Guymon out
weighed, outplayed and outgeneral-
cd them for 81 points, while they
best they could do was TO tally up
IT, In spite Of the score, however.
it was one of the fastest, cleanesl
and best games that has ever been
played in Clayton, and tlIe Clayton
boys will welcome another oppor-
tunity to attach Guymons scalp 10
their girdlc.
Coach Terrell has been able to
whip into shape a very strong team.
With several new men playing a
game like the old heads, there is
good reason to believe that they
will have an even break with Ration
on Armistice Day. and the chances
are favorable for them to bring
home the victory.

DAN ROBERTS WILL
Be SHERIFF STILL

R6mping home with a victory by
a large majority. Dan Roberts again
is sheriff Of Union cddnty for the
next two years, running on a plat

In many ways Mr.. Roberts tias

eral ways he has left the people
room for doubt as N his sincerity,
but it is not expected that any iiiab

Mr.. Roberts had Opposition. His
supporters claim that he viii hctC-
fit by his experience and will make
a better sheriff in The future than
in the past; II is sincerely desired
by the people that ne do This. The
News did not support MIR. Roberts
for rn-electon, but since he has
been re-clcctrd hc became the shrr-
if Of his opponents as well as his
supporters. and The News accepts
the ma1date Of The people There
is not an artIGhl SUPPORTER of Mr.
Roberts who wishes 10 see him
make an Improvement more than
The News. There are many ways
in which this may be done. and Tho
News wishes TO mildly suggest just
two. that seem To be errors in the
prcstH, administration. The first
suggestion IS that he be- the sheriff
and condutt thc 6fficF hc has the
ability; and The second would be
that he choose as his deputies the
citizens of each community OF which
they have "A right to be proud. This
second statement is not casting q
reflection on The real deputies Of
Mr.. Roberts. but merely refers to
some few scattered about

Democrats Garry County by Large Majority
Republican Clerk Elected by 300

The actual election is over, the
v6les have been cast but the ma
jorits Of the people Of Uhidn G6uHs
ty want 10 know what produ6ed
such an abundant harvest Of Demo-
Gratis, and where were the Repub-
licans on election day
To say a landslide, descrihes it
very mildly; the Democratic ticket
was swept into office by majOrities
ranging from 400 10 1900 with the
exception of county clerk, C. c.
Caldwell, he was able to come up
smiling from the fray with a ma
iority Of some three hundred 1900
over his Democratic opponent, Bruce
Kennedy.
The whole campaign had been
teHterBd on the sherriff's race. Dan
Roberts, the present incumbent,
elected two years ago on the Demo-
cratic ticket stood for reelection
and Tom Gray was the choice of
the Republican party as their stand
ard bearer. Despite the fact that
Mr.. Gray publicly declared his
friendliness to prohibition and
pledged himself to enforce the stat
ute laws Of the state, the Democrats
persisted in making the issue one
of wet and dry, and by every per
suasive device known TO the art Of
man led many people to believe
that we were on the verge Of bring
ing back the open saloon and that
the only requirement necessary for
its advent was the election of a
Republican sheriff. It worked and
Mr.. Roberts was elected by some 700
majority, but the methods used in
the campaign were such that they
paralyEed the vocal organs of the
party until the Democratic donkey
has not emitted a single bray, nor
The rooster flapped his wings. The
real tragedy is not the use of such
propaganda but the fact that the
citizenship OF Union county actu=
ally believed it.
The people will no doubt insist
that Democratic promises be made
good, hat Union county be made as
dry as the Sahara Desert, and all
other forms Of vice be oblileraled:
that economy be the watchword Of
the administration, which in other
words means a reduction in the
rate of taxation other than the 20
per cent effected by the present
administration and effective in 1923.
We give following the total vote
of Union county for all candidates:

HARDING TO CALL CONGRESS-

Washington. Nov. 1.--prcsident
Harding expects to issue a call on
Thursday or Friday for a special
session Of congress conVenihg on
November 20, it was announced To-
day at the White House
II was said that although the
president was not irrevocably COM
milted olhe proposal for the spec
ial session. which has generally
been expected by congressional lead
ers. only an eleventh hour change
of mind would prevent him from
issuing the call.
The plan for a special session
after the election has received the
general endorsement Of senate and
house leaders. 1t is understood the
president feels that 10y meeting at
least two weeks in advance Of the
regular session, the legislative pro-
gram can be SO advanced as to en-
able congress to clean up its slate
by the time the regular session ends
next March Z. The feeling among
administration officials has been
that unless an earlier start is made
than would he possible with con-
gress meeting the first Monday in
December an extra session undOubl-
edly would BE- necessary after next
March 4.
Although the program for the
special session has not been worked
out definitely it briefly provides
for consideration by the house of
the merchant marine bill and work
by the senate on the Dyer anti
lynching bill which has already
passed The house. Administration
leaders hope these two measures
can be disposed of by the time tht
regular session convenes, aud house
leaders have assured the president
that by that time committee work
on a number of the regular appro-
priaiion bills will have been fin
! ished.
The house Appropriation com,
miltee has been called 10 meet Fri
day tO begin its work.

GRAIN TRADE REVIEW

Grain values have moved up stead
lily during the past few weeks and
have advanced materially from the
low point in August. as there has
been considerable change in the
conditions surrounding the grain
markets recently.
While a month ago the trade &
nored all factors except those hav-
ing a bearing on the political 5itua-
tion in the Near East and statistics
indicated that exporting countries
had a hurdensome surplus Of wheat
compared with the Theoretical re-
quiremenls of importers, the latest
available estimates show that the
principal importing countries have
produced about 2i5,0OOOOO bushels
less wheat this season than last
Year, and THAT the total worlds
wheat crop is 100000 bushels less
than in 1921. Foreign markets have
gone up faster than Chicago. evi-
IDENTIFY on account of foreigners haV-
ing overstayed their market, as it
was only natural they should not
wish to carry large stocks Of grain
in view of prevailing financial con-
ditiOns, while there was a large
North American surplus to draw
from. But the transportation sit
uatiOn in The United States, due to
shortage of motive power, as well
as scarcity Of cars, brought about
radical change in conditions. Sea-
board competition for quick ship
ments has therefore been more or
less or a factor in helping to slim
ulate bullish sentiment as well as
the good milling demand.
The clearances from Atlantic
ports are now limited only by the
ability TO get the grain aboard the
boats, and owing to transportation
conditions now existing that are not
likely TO be improved very soon, no
accumulation Of supplies in the
hands Of consumers and distribu-
tors in this country or in Europe is
probable for some time TO come
Recent unfavorable advices from
Australia, together with the contin-
ued dry weather in the winter wheat
belt, in this country, have occasion
ed further advances in the price of
wheat.
Coarse grains have been advancing
relatively faster than Wheat, as the
situation with respect 10 both corn
and oats is somewhat different from
that Of wheat, inasmuoh as domes-
tic conditions govern the action OF
the markets and the statistical po-
sion is decidedly strong.
II is reliably estimated that the
amount Of corn available for con-
, sumption for the i922-2J season will
! lhe iOOWOOOO bushels short of that
! Of me previos year and will not be
much. II any, above the average Of
/, the past ten years, while the demand
/, will be unusually large owing to I'M
! creased fedine and the distribution
will be over an exceptionally wide
territory this season. The Move
inent OF now corn has commenced

l.. s. WARSHIPS MAY 90 TO
CONsTANTINOPLE

Washington. Eov IL. 5. war
ships will start for COnstantinople
in two minutes if Admiral Bristol
is convinced that il necessary to
protect Americans from massacre,
according TO a statement made in
official circles Tuesday following
receipt of reports that the new Turk
government has issued an ultima
tum fOrbidding foreign warships to
enter the straits without permission
and that trouble is imminent in the
city of Constantinoplc.
The Turkish order closing the
straits is understood here TO have
been issued on the strength of the
Russo-Turkish treaty, I'm force be-
fore the war. The United States
acknowledges the validity Of that
treaty, but it will be quite another
thing if the presence Of United
States warships was necessary To
protect American interests
The belief was expressed that in
the event of news forecasting a mas
sacre there would be a general
movement of allied war vessels Ia
COnstantinople, notwithstanding the
Kemalsts prohibition. It was stat
ed, however, that the United States
would not move as an integral part
of the allied forces, but would pro-
ceed separately under its own right
for the protection of Americans and
American interests.
Virtually everything is being left
10 the discretion Of Admiral Bristol
officials said. He could order the
American destrOycrs thru the straits
without waiting for any instruction
from Washington, it was explained
The state department announced
that forty-two Americans, previous
ly stationed al various ports, have
sailed for New York on the steamer
Acropolis. This leads officials here
TO believe that Americans feel un-
safe anywhere in the Turkish do
miniOns.

SATURDAY

The football fans of Ration are
promised a snappy game next Sat
urday. Armistice Day, when Clayton
High school comes over to play the
first game of the annual two-game
series.
Last year, it will be remembered,
Ration split the series with Clayton,
but this year the Ration Tigers are
strong in the belief that they will
get away with both games.
The team under Coach Dixon has
progressed wonderfully, and de-
spite the lack of material. seems TO
be of big-time calibre. II remains
TO be seen whether the plunging
Ration backs and Tie heavy line will
have enough stuff on the ball TO
cope with Clayton's speed and aeri-
