Democrats Win Important
Victories During Past Week
Washington, Nov. l!i.—The ; weep
ing Democratic voctorie;; on No*, em
ber .s, including the.capture of num
erous itepuhlican strongholds, add to
the harmonious and -liopeiul
auspice* under which ttie lion, Curdcli
Hull assumes the chairmanship of tin
Democratic National l oniiiiitu.'e.
Virginia returns the largest Deni
i,'i;4ie majority in its liiitoiy afte,
a campaign in which tlw* Republicans
had an exceptionally srtong candidaU'
. for Governor and after they had wag
ed the most aggressive campaign e\ei
made by them in the state. Mary
land in a statewide vote lias overturn
ed an unprecedented Republican ma
joiity and Kentucky lias
he'r legislature from Republican rule.
While victory in New York City
was assured in advance the tremen
dous majority was .surprising
and gratifying. Particularly grati
fing were the Democratic victories in
important cities and towns in upstate
New York, long under Republican
misrule and bossism.
The election of the first Democrat
ic maor in Syracuse in fifteen years
is regarded as a personal repudiation
of the autocratic reactionary liepubli
canism Til Gov. Miller m —hrs —liumi
town.
Recent elections in Connecticut
where the turn-over'to the Democrats
was unusually large was followed on
November Hth by a large Democjsitic
victory in the important city ol
Bridgeport and the ousting ol a live
term Republican mayor.
As pointed ou thy Chairman Uul.
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, the elections generally indicnU
a trend away from tin* Republican
party and a realization .on the part
of tlve people that Republican ob
struction and defeat of tin* Democrat
ic program of reconstruction follow
ing the Armistice has brought aliouW
disastrous results to tiusimw-s and in
•dustry.
The fact that the Democrat cat riei
I'iesident Harding's home town o.
Marion wouhl seem to indicate th
waning of the personal popularity i
the President. To this is added i
touch of irony in the fact that Mariui
voted for the state soldier's bonus af
ter President Harding in a speech tc
the Senate, Ktui brought about""TtTC
postponement and perhaps death oi
the National BohUs bill.
lational Democrats at the, Capital
are greatly heartened by these gei ,
Democratic-'yTctoric*, which they
sert will make for party solidarity
and, as chairman Hull expresses it
''will Jnspne Democrats every w here ti
leiu'wed ulforts with increasing ex
Imitations of success."

ESTABLISHED 1898
We have befjro us a card mailed
by Winborne and Co., Commission
merchants of Norfolk quoting the
prices of cotton beans and and did'
prices of cotton, bearis and new pea
nuts. At the bottom of the oard is
prnitod these words:
"Instead of »he newly organized
Peanut Growers' Exchange stabilU
! ing prices, we believe the same irili
cost the growers this over one
. million dollars." This card was hand
ed to us by a prominent farmer who
shipped his peanuts to thm firm la.t
year and stated to u.s that he lost
at least SBOO.OO ou his last years'
crop alone in difference in quotations
and sales rehdered by this ftrm.
The lost opportunity to this bunch
of fellows who have been growing
rich and the farmer's peanuts bf
•Uing them just as they choose it
not only making them squeal but it
is making them resort to anfalr metb
Oils-.
This should challenge the niaiiheod
of the farmers to stand like a solid
wall and maintain their rights ajid ite
clare their Independence from a hedr
of unscrupulous speculators.
There is not a man anywhere Jijfht
ing the farmers Cooperative Assocht
tion except those who have grown
rich out of the failure of the farmer
to maintain his rights and improve
hi.s opportunities.
Our government says that it is the
opportunity o fa life time and eae
thing that will put farming on a basis
of equality with other businesses.
It does sem ethat it is plain enough
for the farmers to see that when the
Peanut Trust and commission hou.ses
who have for many years robbed the
farmers of al Itheir profits are trying
to kill the organization from a sel
fish motive.
What is hurting Winborne & Co.,
is not the million dollar loss that they
say the farmers will have to stand
but which is übsolutel yunteue, but
what they wil Hose by the organisa
tion.
Farmers, remember that you are
not called upon to feed and fatten
the world without a little .something
for yourself.
Farmers have let t.se fellows who
speculate on theim do their figuring
too long.
-The Funnels Cooperative Market
ing Association invites and challenges
Mr. Winborne to come to Martin
county ami publicly explain what he
means by a million dollar loss. Come
down and light fair. Certainly they
would gladly sfe the farmers lose
their whole crops. That is the game
they are trying to play. Kill the
Association so they can get back in
the saddle.
