Yesterday. indicating the concern felt
by party leaders for the ticket. United

SMITH CAMPAIGN
IS GIVEN NEW LIFE
Power Speech Changes Sit
uation for Democrats
in Washington.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, October 6.-New
life is being instilled into the Smith
Robinson campaign in this State at a
time when the Democratic party lead
ers were virtually agreed that the pres
idential fight was a lost issue and had
agreed that efforts would be devoted
towards saving Senator G. G. Dill AND
electing Scott Bullitt, nominee for gov
ernor
The power issue now has been
dragged to the front. The announce
ment of Smith favoring Government
and State control and ownership OF
power resources has been the one is
sue which could be counted upon to
create any attention in Washington.
For years the power issue has been be-
fore the State. once as an initiative
measure, and several times before the
Legislature.
Varied Interests Clash.
The rapidly developing municipal
ownership OF hydroelcctrical projects,
with the resultant excess power for sale,
has caused many clashes between pri-
vate and public plants. The municipal
plants are barred by the law from SELL
ing outside of municipal limits. AS a
result they have been demanding the
right to sell any place, and have COM
batted private companies with a de-
mand for State or municipal owner
ship of all power projects.
The fight has gone into virtually
every section of the State. The munic-
ipal ownership people have stressed the
fact that lower rates prevail in the
cities, and have for years been advo-
eating municipal ownership through
out the State to reduce rates to all
consumers. Now Smith comes forth
with a similar advocacy and the DEM
ocrats have not been slow in advancing
it. AS a result there is some slight
change in the situation.
However, the Democratic leaders are
using this to aid in bolstering up their
entire ticket. incidentally Dill is the
greatest beneficiary. His campaign Is
growing stronger.
The reorganization of the Republican
State central committee, with Gov r.
H. Hartley's forces taking complete con-
troll, has tended to widen the breach
in the party ranks rather than to heal
it. Kenneth Macintosh, senatorial
nominee. threw his support into the
Hartley camp while all other State
nominees were not invited into the con-
ference. This left many sore spots
which refuse to heal and has not tend
cd to help Macintosh, who was sailing
along we'll out in the front
With Dill taking up the power Issue,
and Macintosh seeking to carry the
Hartley program, the outlook is not as
rosy for the Republican senatorial NOM
inee as it was 10 days ago.
The campaign is working around into
the most complex ever seen in the
state, with hybrid clubs of all kinds
being formed. 1t is going to be year
of split voting.

OUR LOYAL SUBSCRIBERS.

~ in two entirely different manners:
because the subscribers believe
the paper gives them the news of the community,
which they desire to read.
because the subscribers want to be loyal
to the paper and think they should support it as
a matter of duty.
No publisher wants the second kind, usually.
They're tickle and disloyal when loyalty is need
ed; but he certainly does want the first kind.
In the years that the Gazette has been Redwood
Countys leading newspaper it has borne in mind
the above items; its policy has been to give its
readers all the late news of the community, coun-
ty and surrounding territory With this always
in mind the Gazette has prospered, thanks to

ROSY BUSINESS FORECASTS.

1.-THE daily newspapers on and about January
l, 1928, printed columns of interviews
4 from bankers, business men and govern
ment officials forecasting great and abundant
prosperity in 1928. Much space was used, many
words were multiplied.
Automobile men could see lines of waiting
customers for new Fords and Chevrolets That
is, the Ford and Chevrolet saw this vision.
Makers of high priced cars saw better taste
developing as result of the improvement in the
Fords and Chevrolets. People want good cars
now they say. The public has been holding off,
waiting to exercise more discriminating taste,
and they will buy better cars.
Machinery manufacturers see greatly in
creased output, because they say agricultural
conditions have improved, and farmers who have
buy new machines.
Banks see better conditions because they
say the farmers have learned to diversity. Eggs,
poultry, milk and butter are taking the place of
wheat and corn.
Commission men at the stockyards see i'm
provements because farmers going out of
crop farming and into live stock, all of which
would seem to augur i'll for the machinery build
erS.
Northwest railroads see rosy pictures and
are planning improvements because crop fore
cast conditions are better, etc. etc.
Because of all of the above, the United States
Department of Labor sees good times ahead for
labor.
Having thus argued themselves into state
of optimism, we note actual increase in the
advertising columns which is good for the news
papers anyway.
Analysing what we have read, and have
read lot, it seems plain that business believes
there will be more business, because the farmers
will plant more acres, raise more grain and live
stock, produce more eggs, poultry and dairy pro-
ducts; all of which viii be hauled by the rail-
roads at fixed rate, handled by the commits
sion boys at fixed commissions, processed by the
millers, packers, cold and dry storage men, and
sold at fixed price, which fixed price will be
cost,-pus.
There will be prosperity for business of all
If the farmers produce plenty, the plenty will be
cheap, cheap to the farmer, but not cheap to the
railroads or the handlers. And it may be taken
for granted that the farmers will try to produce,
and if the weather is right, they will succeed.
So all this prosperity talk depends on the
weather Since nobody can tell what the wealth
ed will be, it follows that nobody can tell what
business conditions in 1923 will be- But the
dOpester and the optimist have made themselves
see good weather also, let's all join hands and
sing Nineteen Twenty-eght will be banner year
for business !-Levangs Weekly.

The Junior College idea is creeping into
state universities of our own and other states.
These two-year colleges are not practicable in
most cases not possible, for many small towns.
In fact they are proving a most expensive lux
ury in the towns having them. But If the
plans outlined after . recent survey Of college
and university curricula can be put into prac-
tice, it will be possible for boys and girls to
spent two years in the university and come out
with finished course Of study or trade or voca-
ton. In this length of time it is impossible to
do anything approaching the work necessary for
professional work but it is possible for the stu
dent to attain the knowledge which win help him
to establish himself financially and socially, ev-
en- though it is all quite in keeping with the
present argument of educators that education is
to fit the educated to earn living and to take
their places as citizens. The two-year course
will offer solution to those to whom the four
or six year course is an absolute impossibility.

SEES EXPERT ADVICE
NEEDED BY FARMERS
Secretary Jardine in Radio Address
Discusses Problems Confronting
Agriculture in United States.
BY the Associated Press.


The need of rapid dissemination of ex-
pert advice to farmers was described
yesterday as one of the most important
activities of the Department of Agri-
culture by Secretary Jardine in radio
speech broadcast simultaneously from
IA stations
Inaugurating the five-day-a-week pro-
grams Of the department designed
especially for rural listeners, an eSti-
mated audience of 100000 farm homes
Mr.. Jardine said that one of the de-
partment's great problems was to fur
nish the facts gathered by its 10000
workers as quickly as possible.
THE American farmer has become the
most efficient agricultural producer in
the world" he declared. During the
50-year period from 1870 to 1920 it is
estimated that the output per agricul-
tural worker doubled. Since 1920, the
efficiency of the farmer has increased
by another 20 per cent. On few acres
and with decrease in rural population
and in the number of farm animals the
farmers of this country are producing
greater total volume than before the
war.
Naturally, therefore, the farmer is
chiefly concerned today with his eco
nomic or business property. 1t is not
so much question of how to produce
as it is problem of marketing distribu
ton, adjusting production to demand
and other economic aspects"
