bate on Socialism or Anarchy. and
came when the crowd Of over LOO had
been aroused thoroughly by wild ora
torical denunciations-

LOOK FOR CORNER ON OATS.
Traders Think They See the Begir
ming of Big Deal.

CHICAGO. Nov. 13.-The local
grain trade is stirred over deal in
oats which it is expected will prove
quite as exciting as any of the spec
ulative outbursts that have taken
place on the board OF trade in the
last few years. Traders in close
touch with the situation are already
predicting that oats for May delivery
will sell at SO cents n bushel and pos
sibly higher. This belief is based
on the bullish conditions which sur
round the market. both speculatively
and as regards the supply and demand.
Jas. A. Patton, mayor Of Evanston
and well known grain speculator.
is the central figure In the market.
For several weeks Patton has been
an active buyer of May oats and is
now supposed to hold line averaging
several million bushels. In view Of
the fact that local stocks OF oats are
small only little over 1000. 900
bushels traders are inclined to cred
it Patton with being in a position to
wage an active bull campaign. The
scarcity of oats in the country, d.
rectly traceable to the long-continued
drouth of last summer. is the import
ant bull factor. In the last few days
it has become apparent that the av'
erage crop will be very small May
oats sold today as high as 40A c
which is the top price OF the season.

intruding upon ground which has
never before been invaded by politi-
clans, and it illustrates the determin-
alton with which they have gone in
to the fight.
The supporters OF the tariff law do
not appear to be concerned as to the
consequences. They riducule the
idea OF bringing women into the cam.
paign, and many of them consider
1t merely amusing. 1t is true that
up to this time the activity of women
in German politics has been confined
TO intrtgues at court and has been
exercised only in the boudoir. There
have been ambitious and brilliant IN
telieets among the court ladies' in
years past. There are some at pres
ent whose careers would make inter
esting reading, and who have exerted
a tremendous influence in high
places, but it has been done secretly
and has been confined to individuals
In high authority. Never before has
the privacy of family life In Germany
been invaded by political issues, and
the effect upon the votes of hus-
bands. sons and fathers will be await

KING REWARDS HIS SON.
Title of Prince of Wales Conferred on
Duke of Cornwall and York.

LONDON, Nov. liking Edward
has conferred on his son, the duke of
Cornwall and York, the title of Prince
of Wales and Earl of Chester. King
Edward invariably does the right
thing at the right time, and the an
nouncement meets with chorus OF
approval. 1t is reward for the
skillful manner in which the duke ac-
complished his difficult mission 10
the British dominions beyond the
seas. When the duke and duchess
returned from their seven months
tour, it was stated that many days
would not elapse before the heir ap.
parent would be created Prince OF
Wales. and the only reason why the
announcement was not published Il
week ago was because the king de-
sired 1t to be made known on his
birthday.

kings birthday is short one. 1t in
