DEPEND ON COFFEE CULTURE
J. A. Tuthill Says Porto Ricans SUI
fer from Present Conditions.

j. a. Tuthill, first vice president OF the
Gregg Seager company Of MINNEAPOLIS,
and who has just returned from a six
months business trip thru Porto Rico, is
authority for the statement that many
natives OF the island are starving on ac-
count OF the decadence Of the coffee in
dustry. .
II have seen people in the mountain
districts whose faces were pale yellow
simply because they lacked the proper
nourishment to make good blood" said
Mr.. Tuthill. They were formerly en-
ployed on coffee plantations, but there is
no longer any demand for their work,
hence they starve It would be a good
scheme for the people Of the United
States to boom the Porto Rican coffee SO
as to increase the demands for this
product. as the Inhabitants generally
blame the new government for the de-
probation of this staple
Mr.. Tuthill tells OF the strides made
along educational lines since the Ameri-
can occupation and says that there are
now about 400 schools and many Ameri-
can teachers, while during the 400 years
Of Spain's rule not more than 40 schools
were established.
| While believing that the island is nc
place for poor man, Mr.. Tuthill says
there are good openings for capitalists in
Porto Rico.

Gov. Bradley Says That Most
Republicans are for Him.
He Predicts That President Roosevelt
Will Be Nominated
Easily.
REGARD TO KY. SENTIMENT

Washington, Dec. LEX Governor
Bradley, of Kentucky, says in an in.
terview: ~ have no more doubt than
have of my existence that Colonel
Roosevelt will be the nominee Of the
Republican party. I am equally conf
dent Of his election. 1 do not think
the Democrats can name man who
will be able to beat Roosevelt. In my
opinion the president has honestly won
the right of nomination, and this is
the opinion Of 90 per cent of the Re.
publicans of the country. We're he to
be set aside in favor of Mr.. Hanna or
any other man it would seem to the
public as though his administration
had been repudiated. It is the easiest
sort Of road to victory if the party
acts with ordinary sagacity and stands
pat on the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt"
Representative Gooch, of Kentucky,
has these views on the Democratic
presidential candidate:
"In Kentucky sentiment is about
equally divided between Judge Parker
and Senator German, and / do not be
lieve it is possible to tell which is the
stronger. Kentucky Democrats want
the convention to nominate the strong
est possible man, and when the nomi-
nation is made, Kentucky will give
the ticket loyal support. The eleotor-
al vote of Kentucky will be counted
for the Democratic ticket"
