Stamford Republicans Propose Joint Committee to Curb Vote Buying
The Stamford Republican town committee proposes a joint Democrats and Republicans committee to oversee election expenditures in the upcoming election. Frontera demands and bribery by “floaters” have grown brazen, and both parties acknowledge tolerating vote buying as a necessary evil.

Cotton in Africa Fails In West Africa Cotton Project Falters
A Commerce Department report finds cotton cultivation in West Africa largely discouraging due to poor transport and labor shortages. Sierra Leone used American seeds but failed. Sierra Leone might emit 140000 bales under ideal conditions, but likely only 6000 yearly for a decade. Northern Nigeria, though populous and civ ilized, suffers from transport limits. Lagos, Southern Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and Gambia could yield 350000 bales under ideal conditions, yet only about 18000 bales are feasible in eight years.
