Committees have been busy
thi. week on plans for getting
behind the proposition of seeing
that the Kansas & Oklahoma
railroad goes through from Lib

have been hollering for a stock
show, and this year the new
fair management is putting it
on.
This feature is giving promise
of being a big thing. The OF
ject of the association is to en-
courage better stock in Baca
county and the southwest. and
hence the premiums will be
strictly on pedigreed registered
sto cs, and includes horso,, jacks
and 1e2nets. cattle, hogs,

Will Henry Ford
Be a Candidate?

The following letter from
Chas. A. Tenney, editor Of the
Holly Chieftain, is suggestive Of
a general feeling, and conse-
quently will be found good read

Holly, Colo, July 81
Editor Democrat Herald,
Springfield, Colo.
Dear Sir
Enclosed find 2 cents for the
Baca county map.
You ask whether Henry Ford
will be a candidate for president
in 1924.
Did you intend your question
for a joke?
Well. it is no joke!
We are living in an industrial
age. There is little interest in
politics as such. The big vital
question is one of labor and
capital,
Mr.. Ford has proved to the
public that he can conduct a big
industry econ nomically, can oper-
ate at full blast, pay his help
more than union wages, keep
his railroads and min es running
and yet make money even when
a strike is on and nearly all 9TH
er mines and railroads are para
lyzed.
The nation is looking for an

the country We live in. Our idea
is that locals is the means of the

and relish to What otherwise
