EYES ON 1312.
Ssrihern Democrats Fsvcr Simmons to
Head Committee.
The Washington' (D. O.) Times, oi
A, nil 2t, says:
!ior Furnifold M. Simmons, o:
N roiina, is the latest person to
b nht out for the chairmanship ol
the Democratic National Committee.
Senator Simmons has a record as a
g:--itt campaign mauager in the South,
v. iowii as an astute politician with
a ' I ij asp of national a flairs, and as
i s.r it sr.ory teller. Finally, he is be
in.: ;"i -he I forward by Southern peo
l.' . v while admitting that 1908 is
not the year tor them, think 1912 is
likely to he the year for the STouth to
preeit a candidate for the Presidency,
and who would like meanwhile to get
the matliinery ot the party into their
hands.
-''XLiC Democrats, in fact, have two con
tests on their hands at this time. One
concerns the nomination for President,
and is Bryan and anti-Bryan. -The
other relates to the control of the. Na
tional Committee, and in It is repre
sented especially the desire of a great
Southern influence to conserve the
chances of Senator Charles A. Culber
son, ot Texas, as a Presidential possi
bility. "Senator Culberson's friends are
ba-khig the demand for Simmons for
chairman ol the National Committee.
In doing it they have their eyes on
1912, with a double purpose in view.
They want to v rest the control of the
party from the Northern Democrats,
and they also wish to make sure that
Hichard Franklin Petiigrew, of South
Dakota, shall not be the national chair
man this year. They believe.it is said,
that if Petigrew becomes national
chairman tue preponderance ot the
Northern Democracy, which lurnishes
lew electoral votes, will be preserved
indefinitely. Tbx-y me willing to con
cede the Presidential nomination for
lb. is year to the North; but they are
idetermintiii io have a real light before
u, iovving the parry organization to be
turned over in toto to the same sec
tion:
"Senator Simmons is brought for
-ward for the place because of a firm be
lief that as chairman he would make
out of the campaign everything possi
lle for the party.

How do you expect to en
dure the broiling days of
summer if you prepare all
the food over a glowing coal

You need a " New Perfec

do the cooking without cook
ing the cook. It concen
trates plenty of heat under
the pot - and diffuses little
or none through the room.
Therefore, when working
with the

it to be.
This, in itself, is wonderful, but, more than that, the M New

thing that any stove can da It is an ideal .
