Cox Is Still
William G.. McAdoo Also
Likely to Make Strong Bid
for Nomination by
Democrats.
Ford Disturbing Element
BY MARK SULLIVAN.
Copyright. 1923.

Washington. Feb. 3.-In the opening
moves for the next democratic presi-
Dental nomination that have been
taking place the last few days, it
has been assumed, possibly too free
ly, that Ex-Governor Cox of Ohio will
not be n formidable figure in the stu
alton next year.
Among other reasons IL Is noticed
that some Of those party leaders who
were most responsible for nominating
Cox in 1920. now seem TO be off him.
They are off Cox because they have
Il grievance against him. Several of
those who brought about the nomina-
ton Of Cox were old-school politicians
OF the sort that had not got along very
we'll with President Wilson. Also, sew
eral OF them were wet" After Cox
was nominated he followed in both re-
spects a course acutely disappointing
to those who felt he was the bene-
ficiary OF their efforts and that In
gratitude he ought to have accepted
their guidance as to policy. This was
exactly what Cox did not do. Cox, as
soon az he got the nomination, came
to see Wilson at the White House and
accepted Wilson's league of nations
and made it his leading issue of the
campaign. This was regarded by the
leaders who had nominated him both
as a grievance-beoaus ii was their
wish to ignore Wilson--and also as
bad policy, because they thought other
issues would be more successful. Fl
nally, Cox refused to be "wet." tSome
very interesting stories could be told
about offers unsucessfully made to
Cox, involving immense and much
needed contributions Of campaign
funds, if he would announce nmself
"wetD
Loses Supporters.
For these reasons some OF he most
important of the men who were most
responsible for nominating Cox In
1920 do not now take any interest In
getting him second nomination. This
statement is believed to apply even to
certain leaders in CoX's own state of
Ohio who had most to do with launch
ing him in 1920.
All this naturally raises an interest
ing question about Cox's personal ut
titude. As someone expressed II,
"Cox's old hackers may think he is
out Of it for 1924, but does Cox him.
self think SOP" Cox is an able and
resourceful person and tenacity is
among the most conspicuous of his
qualities. No man could have made
the way that Cox made, from a little

20 YEARS OF
RECLAMATION
Rich Agricultural Empire
has been added to Ma
ton in Two Decades

Neutrality-suspicious. than usual in
terest attaches to the annual report
OF Director Arthur p. Davis of the
United States Reclamation Service,
Department of the Interior. June
II, 1922, marked the completion of
70 years Of the operation of the Ma
tional Reclamation Act.
The investment in construction dur
ing this period has been in round
numbers $135, GOO, 900. This invest
ment has accomplished the construc-
ton of works by which about 1875
600 acres of arid lands in the West
have been furnished a supplemental
water supply and about LOO, 900 adj
ditional acres in private projects
have been furnished a supplemental
supply under the provisions Of the
Warren Act. On the government
projects proper the area given COM
prises 81 1852 farms, or an average
area per farm of about So acres, and
these farms support upwards of 80, 900
families.
With the investment mentioned the
Reclamation Service has built canals
aggregating over $4,000 miles in
length. including % miles of tunnels
and 1875 miles Of fumes. The struc-
lures Of all kinds and sizes number
10000. Some Of the larger works
constructed are the Roosevelt dam in
Arizona, $50 feet high; the Arrow
rock in Idaho, 349 feet high; the
Elephant Butte in New Mexico, 3O6
feet; and the Pathfinder and Sho-
shone dams in Wyoming 218 and 1923,
respectively.
The works include other dams,
canals, tunnels, fumes, drains, pow
er plants, transmission lines, tele-
phone lines, roads, railroads, pump
ing plants and a variety Of other
classes Of work incidental to the de-
velopment Of large irrigation projects.
The 1857 900 acres cropped on the
government projects proper produced
crops in 1921 to the value of 49,
100000 and about $45, COX, 900 addi-
tinonal was added from the crops
grown on private projects receiving
their water supply from the works
of the Service. In other words from
an agricultural standpoint the Recla-
nation Service has added state to
the Union equal in the value of its
agricultural projects to that Of the
state of West Virginia or to the
combined values of the crops Of the
states Of Vermont and Connecticut.
In this connection it is particularly
interesting to note that the value of
the crops grown on the irrigated
lands in federal projects in 1921 aver
aged $42.85 per acre as compared
with the average value Of only $14.52
for the ten leading crops in the United
States as whole in the same year,
or practically three times as much in
favor Of the irrigated lands.
Since the government works began
the delivery of irrigation water
the crops produced in the reclaimed
lands have exceeded SAFE, 000, 900 in
value. This does not include those
served government water, nor increas-
=
ed values produced as livestock and
stock products. The increase in
the value Of the lands as result of
government reclamation work is esti-
mated to amount to over $500, O00, 900

the popular three inches off the

Are long always. For coats
and suits they are tight to the

they hang very loose, lined with

For coats may be low and
shawl with double brested effect
and revers or quite high. In the
latter case the line is softened
by close rows of ribbon, flow
ers or frills of net. An ideal
spring collar stands high at the
back and slopes open in the
front to the waist.
Afternoon dresses still favor
the boat shape, but are covered
by a shaped cape or several rows
of ruching or ruffles of lingerie
ribbon lacings, which form a
sort of detachable lattice work,
are correspondingly used on the
cuffs of sleeves.
