ANTI-SALOON FORCES DEFEATED EVERYWHERE
IN THE RECENT GENERAL ELECTIONS
Every Temperance Candidate on Both Sides Was Knocked Out,
1
Says Prohibition Candidate Chafin,
WHO DECLARES THAT THE FIGHT WILL BE BE
TWEEN THE REPUBLICANS AND THE
• PROHIBITIONISTS FROM NOW ON.
Interesting Analysis and Summary of the Situation
in the Different States by a Special News
and Sun Correspondent.
<>■
Chicago, Nov. 14.—[Special.]—
Now that the various party managers
have figured out just how badly Bryan
was beaten by Taft, they are turning
, attention to an analysis of the
vote cast at the recent election. One
*of the most interesting features in
this connection is the statement of
' Eugene V, Chafin, prohibition can
didate for president, who, at the
Washington Home the other night,
said that the prohibition movement
on November 3 received a decided
setback. Mr. Chafin said :
“With the aid of the liquor busi
ness the Republicans carried New
York City, Chicago, St. Louis and
Cincinnati. Every temperance can
didate of prominence on both sides
was knocked out at the recent elec
tion, including Governor Folk, of
Missouri. This means that the fight
will be between the Republicans and
the Prohibitionists from now on, and
I am confident that a Prohibitionist
will be elected president in 1912.
' are many thousands ol
voters in both parties who are ready
to coma with us just as soon as they
■ are convinced that whisky dominates
the present elections. We are sure
i to win.”
Mr. Chafin’s Statement Borne Ont.
That the prohibition movement
wide no headway, as Mr. Chafin in
timates, is borne out by an analysis
»of the votes in the various States.
The storm center of the Prohibition
ists’ fight in the election was in
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, South Dakota,
! gd|"de Island, Minnesota and Ten-
* ssee. In each of these States the
Prohibitionists were defeated and a
, number of well-known candidates
who championed their cause failed in
| election.
Probably the hottest contest over
the prohibition question was in In-
Mhana, because of its pivotal charac
ter in the national election. Gov. J.
P. Hanley, Republican, is a well
known phohibition advocate and
secured control of the Republican
■ State convention. He secured a
r county optioa plank in the platform.
Democratic porty platform ad
, vocated village and township option.
: Gov. Hanley, however, was not sat
| isfied and as the campaign progressed
called a special session of the legis
lature, which was Republican, and
procured the passage of a county
option law. In this step he was ably
assisted by the Republican nominee
for governor, James Watson, and
United States Senator Hemenway.
The action of [the governor caused
much criticism and in the campaign
j county option became the issue. The
'' State went Republican on president
r by 10,000 plurality, but the Republi
/can candidate for governor, Watson,
r was defeated by Marshall, Democrat,
i by over 18,000, while the Republi
also lost the legislature, which

I Anti-Saloon League Defeated in Its
Birthplace.
** 'ln Ohio, the birthplace of the anti
i saloon league, the Hues between the
Prohibitionists and the Liberals were
i sharply drawn. The anti-saloon
element championed the cause of
I (Governor Harris, candidate for re
election. Harris had been prominent
faring his administration as an ad
dfiate of prohibition and had ob-
I tained the passage ol the Rose county
■ option law by the legislature. In the
i campaign, he was opposed by Judson
■ Hannon, the Democratic candidate,
j who was supported by the more lib
eral voters of the State. The result
that Ohio gave Taft 65,003 plu
r rality, but in spite of this sweeping
Republican victory, the Republican
candidate on a prohibition platfonn
went down in defeat and his Demo
' cratic opponent was elected by over
20,000. State Senators Rose, Site#,
Meek and Drake, who were lieuten
ants of Harris in his antl-saloon cam
paign, also were defeated. Rose was
the father of the county option law
and Drake the chairman of the com
mittee of the legislature having
charge of all temperance legislation.
County Option is Defeated.
In Illinois the antl-saloon people
centered their fight in an effort to
capture the legislature for county
option. Returns show that they were
overwhelmingly defeated, 75 per cent,
of the members elected to the senate
and house being opposed to county
option. The leader of the local op
tion forces in the last legislature, O.
F. Berry, was retired.
In South Dakota the question of
county option was squarely presented
to the people oi the entire State un
der the iritiative and referendum.
The Prohibitionists and the anti
saloon leaguers had joint headquar
ters and made a vigorous fight.
County option was defeated by 7,000.
The defeat of the question is more
decisive in South Dakota because it
is a purely agricultural State and in
recent years had experience in State
prohibition.
Test of Strength in New England.
The anti-saloon league selected
Rhode Island as a point in which to
test its strength in New’ Bngland.
Two weeks before the election under
a decision of the supreme court it be
came necessary for the State as a
whole to vote on the question of li
cense or no license. A short but live
ly campaign followed and resulted
in the wets retaining all the towns
and cities they had and regaining
seven more towns that had previous
ly gone dry. The aggregate majority
of the towns favoring licenses was
20,000 or more.
The verdict ot the voters of Ten.
nessee, who in the June primaries
voted against State-wide prohibition,
was sustained in the general election.
At the primaries Governor M. R.
Patterson, Democrat, opposed E. W.
Carmack, editor of the Tennessean of
Nashville. Carmack favored State
prohibition and after his defeat bolted
the primary decision and the plat
form and continued his fight for State
wide prohibition. Patterson was re
elected by 35,000, running 10,000
ahead of the national ticket. A ma
jority ot the legislature is opposed to
State-wide prohibition and will stand
by Governor Patterson’s policies.
Anti-Saloon Forces Beaten in the
West.
The main issue in the election of a
legislature in Minnesota was county
option. The tight was carried on in
nearly every district and as the con
test progressed Candidate Jacobson,
Republican nominee for governor,
came out squarely for county option.
He declared against the saloon in
general. The result was that while
Tatt carried the State by 75,000,
Johnson, the Democratic candidate
for governor, was re-elected for a
third term by over 30,000, and the
legislature is 2to 1 against county
option.
In Colorado, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and Idaho the issues were identical.
The county option question did not
enter into the State campaign, but an
effort was made by the anti-saloon
: forces to capture the legislature. In
i all three States the attempt failed
and a majority of the legislators
chosen in each State arc opposed to
1 county option.

x FALL PLOWING.
Facilitates Work In the Spring and
Improves Seed Bed.
While little definite investigation has
been carried on to determine the rela
tive value of spring and fall plowing,
yet the practice on many of our west
ern ranches is to get as much as pos
sible of the land to be seeded in the
spring plowed during the fall. This
foresight is considered eipeclally es
sential in breaking new ground. Os
course in the arid region of the country
ft is difficult to plow in the fall, and
some farmers leave the work until
spring in order that the land may be
plowed much more easily after the
snows and spring rains. One advan
tage in fall plowing Is that It opens up
the soil and admits the moisture from
the fall and spring rains and winter
snows more easily.
In some cases, however, quite as
good results are gained from leaving
the stubble on the ground throughout
the winter. A long stubble tends to
prevent the snow from blowing and
accumulates considerable moisture in
the soil. Our spud aud beet fields are
dug up so much that they do not need
autumn plowing, and such fields are
always in the best tilth in the spring.
One distinct advantage in fall plowing
is that it facilitates work in the spring
and tends to better preparation of the
seed bed at that time.
If large areas must be plowed In the
spring the work is crowded and not
enough attention Is given byway of
preparing the seed bed. Our springs
vary, and frequently it Is quite late
before farming operations can begin.
It is therefore a decided advantage to
have the ground plowed In the fall In
order that it may be worked up rapid
ly in the spring with the disks and
harrow-s. Another advantage for fall
plowing Is that It affords a good means
of disposing of the manure. As soon
as the grain is cut and when it Is
standing in shock manure may be dis
tributed over the field and as soon as
the thrashing is done can lie plowed
under.
The precipitation of the succeeding
months beats down the soil and so
tends to bring about decomposition in
the manure. If the manure is left and
plowed under In the spring it fre
quently Iles in strawy bunches and In
terferes with the rise of moiature
later. The observations In many sec
tions indicate that the very best way
to dispose of manure is to get It on
the ground and plow ft down in the
fall. Our modern traction plows and
the introduction of the disk plow have
done much to simplify fall and winter
plowing In this country. It frequently
•eeurs that we have a good rain or a
saowstorm, after which lhe plowing
sa-n be done quite readily.

HENS VERSUS INCUBATORS.
Result of Some Recent Experiments
In Chicken Raising.
By JAMES DRYDEN
Artificial incubation in recent years
has assumed large proportions. Large
numbers of incubators and brooders
are purchased in every community, en
tailing in the aggregate a large invest
ment of capital. It Is admitted that
there are great losses in the artificial
incubation of eggs and brooding of
chicks, and many explanations are
Lr-r
incubator ho use.
given as to the cause. The complaint
is that the chicks either full to hatch
or, hatching, they fall to live. Why
the embryo should live through the in
cubation period and die before hatch
ing is a problem that bothers the in
cubator operator more probably than
any other. It is a keen disappoint
ment to the incubator user to find
after the eggs apparently have pro
gressed satisfactorily up to the time
of hatching that 25 per cent of them,
more or less, have failed to hatch.
This means a large loss to the poultry
man, and if there were no other prob
lem Involved in incubation than that
of the chicks dying in the shell ft
w-ould warrant extended Investigation.
The testimony Is very conflicting as
to the efficiency of incubators. Hatches
as high as 90 to 95 per cent of "fer
tile’’ eggs are frequently made and as
low as 25 per cent or less. Some claim
that the fault is in the stock that laid
the eggs. Others claim that the man
who runs the incubator is usually to
blame in failing to follow instructions,
and this is very often the case.
An even more serious problem Is to
hatch the chicks well. Some claim that
it is easy to hatch the chicks, but hard
to raise them. Some reports are made
to the effect that within four weeks
after hatching every chick has died.
At certain seasons of the year proba
bly 50 per cent of the incubator chicks
die. The cause of this great mortality
is usually ascribed to faulty methods
of brooding or feeding. The fact that
the chick may be hatched with im
paired vitality has not been recognized
fuliy. The evidence of vitality should
not be merely that the chick survives
the brooding period, but that it comes
to maturity with vitality equal to that
of the parent stock and is capable of
transmitting the same vigor aud health
to the second generation.
A series of carefully conducted in
vestigations at the Oregon Agricultural
college has brought out the following
facts as to the comparative efficiency
of hens and incubators:
From 879 eggs set, itfeubators hatch
ed 533 chicks, or 60.6 per cent.
From 279 eggs hens hatched 219
chicks, or 78.8 per cent.
Eliminating eggs broken In nests,
the hens hatched 88.2 per cent of eggs
set.
The incubators hatched 78.5 per cent
of "fertile” eggs, and the bens hatched
96.5 per cent.
Eggs Incubated artificially tested out
22.7 per Pear as infertile, while those
Incubated by hens tested out 11.8 per
cent.
The Incubators showed 16.6 per cent
of chicks "dead In the shell” and the
hens 2.8 per cent.
Chicks hatched under hens weighed
heavier than chicks batched in in
cubators.
The mortality of hen hatched chicks

brooded In brooders was 10.8 per cent
in four weeks and of Incubator hatched
chicks 33.5 per cent.
The mortality in hen hatched chick*
brooded under bens was 2.2 per cent
and of incubator chicks 49.2 per cent.
In other tests the mortality was 46.5
per cent for incubator chicks brooded
by hens and 58.4 brooded in brooders.
Hen hatched chicks made greater
gain in weight than incubator chicks,
whether brooded by hens or brooders.

Keep Sowing.
Sow something whenever the ground
is * cleared. Nature abhors bare
grounds. Crimson clover is excellent
for sowing among all garden crops at
the last cultivation. This will live
through the winter and may be turned
under in spring, thus adding humus
knd nitrogen to the soil. Rye may be
lown for a cover crop, used for spring
feed or be turned under as green ma
nure. Rape or turnips may be sown
•or fall growth and an beneficial to
the aoM.
