SAYS DEMOCRATS V HAVE SEEN LIGHT Are Now Looking Forward to National Victory in 1928. Cleveland, Ohio, Mdreh 20.—Demo cratic leaders at Washington “have seep the light" and are already working toward the end that will best enable them to be victorious in 1020, Josephus Daniels told the International News. Ser vice. When asked such a mooted question ns "What must the Democratic party do and advocate to re-establish favor in the United States?” the former secre tary of the navy was quick with an answer and definite in his points. “The Democratic party must be democratic, first of all,” he answered. “It must be progressive with n capital ’P’ in the sencond place, and its leaders must study Jefferson and Jackson and be ready to fight against the same insid ious influences with Jefferson opposed and Jackson fought with militant power.” When 1920 rolls around, and the nation lulls 1 to obseve the outcome of the election, the people will watch tor a definite quality. According to Mr. Daniels, that quality will lie in the in tent of whichever party picks up the fire-brands agninst privilege. Democratic party nut# 'they -are con” vincted it will right about face and put the reactionaries out of power. “In n word, the Democratic party has no place in American politics except to fight privilege.” The- "light” which party lenders are seeing was manifested in the defeat of Charles Beecher Warren, the former mentor of naval affairs believed. It was nothing more than satire that caused this Democratic leader to ex press bis faith in his party’s fight when he couched it in the words of Grant, a staunch Republican, and said, “and we will fight it out on this line if it takes a’.l summer.” “There is going to be a reaction agninst reactionaries who are now in the saddle,” Mr. Daniels predicted. “Newly appointed members of the Federal Trade Commission, the Com merce Commission and the Supreme Court are men of fine and honorable character, but they look at most ques tions with the attitude of big business. This is causing the Average man to feel that his only chance is by the process of percolation” 'lie said. “The rejection of Warren is n 'hope ful sign.

Through their home economics instructors! this many young women of the state have en tered for competition in the second na tional meat story contest, according to the national livestock, and meat board, which is sponsoring the educational event.

As the contest does not close until May Ist?, it is expected that the number will far ex ceed the enrollment to date. The board points out that while the contest is sponsored as an aid to meat study in the high schools,, the students are being given something more tang ible to work for in the form of cash prizes totaling $2,500. The contest plan is endorsed by educators, both high school and university. | “The popularity and worth of this means of meat education is emphasized by the fact that a large number of the schools which did not become interested in the first contest are taking part this i year,” said the board’s statement. “lu j struetors feel that it is an excellent means I of increasing interest in this branch of ! their wqrk.” Contestants arc required to write a t story or . theme on meat and submit with II it; three recipes for meat dishes. 11 Endorses Armfieid For Jndge.

J THIS STATE HAD 823,278 BALES Crop Was About 3,000,000 Bales Greater Than Crop of 1923, the Total Figures of Report Show.

Post and Flagg's Cotton Letter. New York. March 19.—The action of the cotton market, where any advancing tendency is so promptly checked, lends some color to the theory that strong spec ulative interests who are credited with having made large amounts by operations for the decline in stocks and grain are mediating a similar course of action in connection with cotton and would launch a vigorous assault on prices with any encouragement skeb as would come from good general rains in Texas. It is be lieved that these interests are already committed quite fully to the short side on the theory that there is a scattered long interest in the market which is vulnerable and that too much stress has been laid on probable improvement in trade. The chief obstacle in the way of immediate action by these interests is uncertainty as to the next crop and fear that if any thing goes seriously wrong with that at general urgent demand will follow for any and all available supplies out of the present crop. Based on the reports of close observers of the market it seems highly improbable that any weak scattered long interest of importance exists as the demand has con sistently been for the most part from trade sources to fix prices and hedge lat er requirements. The character of the market has long been unattractive to the general public and such long interest as lias formed for that account has been largely wiped out by successive small waves of liquidation and the bulk of the long interest rests in strong trade hands from which it is not likely to be dis lodged by speculative operations even if aggressive but will be exchanged for the actual at the proper time. Nothing resembling hedge pressure has been seen for weeks, though undoubtedly there is cotton for sale around 26 cents and above which will have to be absorved before prices will go much above that and hold. Bearish operations may meet with some success for a time but are in de fiance of fundamentals and correspond ingly risky. POST AND FLAGG. Loses V. D. C. Standing.
