“GREAT IS TAMMANY AND CROKER IS ITS PROPHET.” iy , . ' ' I —• ... - r— ~ These words were uttered by William Jennings Bryan in his speech at Cooper Union Hall, New York, October 16 V 1900. Do the American people approve of the alliance between Bryan and Croker? Do the American people want Tammany Hall Methods to be introduced at Washington? Do the American people want as their President a man who is elected by Tammany Corruption Funds that are levied from vice, gamblers, blackmailers, thieves and thugs? Shall the Chief Magistrate of this Nation be the Reoresentive of Vice?

TAMMANY’S CORRUPTION FUNDS a L I JK The New York World haa figured out that Tammany’s committee is collecting $4,150,000 a year through the police as a tax on crime, and gives a list of the forms of vice and the average rate of tribute, which is"'"from §75 P er month to SIOO per week each, as follows: 150 Pool Rooms $780,000 iuo Swell Gambling Houses 020,000 1,000 Little Gambling Houses 1,300,000 * 500 Policy Shops 650,000 1,000 Dives 9°°- 000 ILLICIT TAX ON CRIME PER YEAR.. $4.150,000 And this is the supply tank which pours revenue into the campaign fund of Bryan. Every dollar of it is tainted. * Every dime and penny is smeared with the vileness of the slums, of the criminal joints and drinking dens of New York City.

PROWERS COUNTY LEADS THE FIELD. Our Beets have the Highest Sugar Percentage and Coefficient-of Purity of Any m the United States It will interest tlie farmers to learn that Prowers county leads the procession in the matteT of raising sugar beets that will command the highest prices at tlie factory. Agriculturist Timothy received reports from the latest tests of car lots on Tuesday that made him feel \on proud of the section he has in charge. The chemist’s reports show a percettage of sugar ranging from 18 to 21.7 per cent, and a coefficient of purity ranging from 85 to the extraordinary figure of I*2. 2 per cent. Mr. Timothy says he has no hesitation in saying that these figures wil not be equaled elsewhere in the Tinted States, The following are a few of the highest tests: TER CENT SUGAR COEFFICIENT OF PTRIT Charley Korn man 21.7 B'.U> W.

Wright.. .... 20.5 89 -. 6 Frank McKinley 1 8 -0 88 -0 The beets tested were from outside rows, which are supposed to be inferior to the rest of the field. They averaged about a pound and a half in weight. Mr. Wadham’s yield was twenty-one tons to the acre which at $6.30 a ton—the price they commanded-s-brought the neat sum of $132 an acre, of which SIOO counted as profit. Prowers county raises the best sugar beets and has sufficient available land to support two or three factories. There is little doubt that the field here will be occupied by a first-class factory within a few years From LamaJ, Colorado paper.
