VOTING TUESDAY TO MEAN LITTLE.
Off Year And Results Not Likely To Affect Political
 Barometer

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-(By Asso- ciated Press.)-The national politi- cal barometer is not likely to be much affected by the off-year elections to be held in scattering states through out the country next Tuesday.
 Vermont will elect a United States senator to succeed the late William P. Dillingham; and a representative; New York will elect four representa- tives and Maryland, Kentucky and Mississippi will choose governos.
 In the few other states which hold elections, referendums and election of state legislators hold the interest.
 In Vermont the republicans have nominated Porter H. Dale for senator to fill the term of the late Senator Dillingham;, which would have ex- pired in 1927. His opponent will be Park H. Pollard, Cavendish mer- chant, and cousin of President Cool tdge. MT. Dale, favoring strict en- forcement of prohibition, has the in- dorsement of the state anti-saloon league.
 On account of MT. Dale's resigna- tion from the house, there is a va cancy in the second Vermont district, for which the candidates are Ernest W. Gibson of Brattleboro, republican, and Burton E, Bailey of Montpelier, democrat.
 The four congressional elections in New York are to fill vacancies.
 Chief interest in the New ork cleo ton is centered in the lower house of the state assembly. At present the assembly Is made up of S1 repub- licans and 69 democrats. The demo- crats have been conducting vigor- ous campaign to control the lower house as they already control the senate. Governor Smith is demo- crat.
 Mayoralty elections will be held in two score cities and supreme court justices will be chosen in several ju- dicial districts. New York also will vote on four amendments to the state constitution. One is designed to le- galize a soldier bonus of $45,000,000. Opposition To Ritchie.
 Maryland will elect governor, state officers, a new house of delegates and one-half the senate membership. Governor Ritchie is opposed for re- election by slender margin, republi- avowedly wet, but as the republican platform ignored the prohibition question, the association against pro- hibition has indorsed Governor Ritchie.
 Interest in Pennsylvania has been confined ldrgely to county anu otitSA local contests, the results of which may have some bearing on the voting next year for delegates to the ma tional party conventions. Four pro- posed amendments to the state con- stitution are to be acted upon.
 Philadelphia and more than a score of other cities will elect mayors.
 In New Jersey, the principal inter- est has been focused on efforts Of the democrats to reduce the republ- can majority in the state assembly. There are now A republicans and It democrats.
 The state senate Is composed of IT republicans and four democrats and eight new senators are to be chosen.
 There is only one election of con- sequence in the west, and that is referendum in Oregon on state in cfsre tax measure. The bill. which follows the federal income tax on net incomes of persons and corpora passed by the legislature and signed by the governor.

general strike.
Up to now it has been avoided. al
though most of the mihers are not
working. Other industries continue
pretty much as of olN, despite the
French control.
Unless the French policy is hanged,
however. nobody can predict what will
take place. The German political
leaders desire n general strike. Tn.
less sanity intervenes the worst can
happen.
There is no question that FRANCE and
the Allies, by imposing reparations
payments which could not be met. were
chiefly 10 blame for the present situa-
ton as had the figure beer within
reason Germany would have made a
sincere effort TO pay and not only
would the Ruhr movement have proved
unnecessaI. but the gradual eyacua-
ton of the Rhinelcnd probably now
would be under way.
Preventtd Conflict
However, French leaders in close
touch with the situation are convinced
that il the Ruhr advance had not TAX
en- place just when il did a general
European war would have broken out
before the end of next year.
One official who has been in the
Ruhr since the beginning Of the oceu'
patton explaining this, said:
Nobody who has examined the
facts as | have seen them can doubt
this conclusion for moment. With
in two years at the nv outset, Ger
man industry would have been am
ply strong enough - crush France,
Can anyone doubt that Germany
would have used such power to es-
cape from an otherwise impossible
situation"

Then they would approve Franco

Berlin. March 3i.-France wants to
get an outlet to the North Sea and the
Ruhr occupation is merely a stepping
stone toward the qualification of this
ambition according TO Oswald Spreng-
Ter the famous German historian
whose book "Downfall of the Occi-
dent" has been one Of the sensations
Of the last few years.
when Napoleon founded the grand
duchy OF Berg in the Ruhr basin and
the kingdom OF Westphalia be observed
to his brother-in-law that the Ruhr
was the strategic road TO the North
Sea" Herr Sprengler said. This
thought Of Napoleon's, who actually
sent warships to the North Sea coast.
is gradually taking shape in Premier
Poincare's policy. AS a matter Of
fact, it is only such short distance
from the Ruhr to the North Sea and
Germany is so helpless that France
could seize the North Sea coast l.. no
time at all if she were allowed TO keep
the Ruhr territory. France then will
be able 10 use il as strategic naval
base against England"
Herr Sprengler also pointed out
how methodically France has been or.
ganizing a ''road to India" by station
ing military missions along the Dan
ube and making friends with Turkey
and the smaller Balkan countries.

Religious prejudice may play some
part in the election as it has hereto
fore. As was the case four years ago
and also eight years ago. when Rob-

candidate.
Judge Dever is a Roman Catholic.
But less has been said about the
religious affiliations of the respective
candidates than in previous campaigns
although reports have been in circula-
ton for several days that members
of the HI klux Klan have been
active against Dever under cover.

TRAP 20 COYOTES
Rancher Wars on Animals That
Destroy Stock.

Not so often now is the quiet of
n nc onlight night on the Sacatosia
ranch of Marshall Brothers, eight
miles north Of Del Rio broken by the
howl of the coyote, for within the
last four months 40 of these animals
have been trapped and killed by en-
ployes of the ranch. Not long ago.
according TO Z. Y. Marshall. one OF
the owners of the ranch who was
here Friday, the serenade Of the
coyote was heard almost constantly
by night. and a ride over the ranch
in the daytime revealed them slip
ping through the brush.
They multiplied rapidly and grew
holder. according to Mr.. Marshall. un-
til they came TO the door Of the ranch
houses to prey upon stock and poultry.
Last year il is estimated that coyotes
cost the ranch $4,000.
Fifty traps were bought and placed
on the 15.000-acre ranch. The first
seasons catch amounted to 40 coyotes.
There is no bounty in Val Verde
county for the scalps. Mr.. Marshall
said. bur the pelts were sold. bringing
from 81 to So each and this, II it
did not pay for the damage tha, the
intruders had done. at least paid the
EXPENSE Of catching them.
There is little spo,t in catching
coyotes in traps, he said. but 1t is
very efficient means Of discriminating
them. Now that they have been
thinncd out Il is the intention of Mr..
M,reboIl to oef m number of trained
dogs and to revive in that part OF
the state the sport of following the
hounds on horseback.
