GOV. HUGHES AND
THE PRESIDENCY
Those Who Are Booming Him for
1t Get Very Little Encour-
agement From Him.
UNM0VED BY POLITICAL TALK.
IL is Known That He is Not Against
Taft and That He is Not for
Hughes.

Albany n. Y, Aug 29-The men
who have been talking of Gov. Hughes
for the presidency and conversing with
him on the desirability of his follow
ing in the footsteps of Grover Cleve-
land and Theadore Roosevelt have
Jailed to get any encouragement from
him. He is not n candidate for either
the presidential or the gubernatortal
nomination, and there is an impress
sion that he would much prefer to
have the canvass which is being
quietly conducted in his behalf stop
ped. He very well knows that he
could give turn of his speech by
two or three sentences, that would be
talked about from one end of the
country to the other, and would be
taken as not unwelcome sign that
he was receptive candidate.
He has been unmoved by the news
paper stories that President Roosevelt
has affected an understanding with
Herbert Parsons of New York, Timothy
l.. Woodruff of Brooklyn. William
Barnes, Jr., OF Albany, Postermaster
Greiner of Buffolo and other Republi-
can leaders to deliver the delegation
from New York to the national conven-
tion for Taft and against Hughes. So
far as any sign comes from the COVER
nor. he is not against Taft. He is
quite certainly not for Hughes. He Is
not impressed by the assurances that
are being constantly dropped so that
he will hear them that he has only
to give trifle of encouragement in
order to have a movement started
for him that will overwhelm all the
other presidential aspirants of his
party.
The impression of all the friends of
the governor is that he win in no way
mix up in practical politics. He is
content to- map out policies for the
state as they belong to the office of
governor but he will not say who
ought TO be nominated for Judge of the
court of appeals. He win not say
whether there should be held a state
convention or whether the nominations
should be made by the state commit
tee. and he will not intrude the sub
ject of national politics on those to
whom he speaks. The governor alb
solutely declines TO discuss politics, or
to give any view on any subject for
publication.

HOW APPLES GROW
IN PRICE TO PUBLIC.

Up in Brigham City the or
chardists have their famous or
chards So far as the price of
bringing their products TO the
Salt Lake market Is concerned,
the orchards might as well be
In distant Oregon, or Washing
ton. or California. or northern
Idaho. The railroad tariff Is all
the same.
The fruit raiser tends his or
chad, and picks the fruit. He
gets 80 cents the bushel on the
average. The Salt Lake house
wife who would put up a little
for winter, must pay 81 or more
for the same amount. In pass
ing from Brigham City to the
home, the fruit multiplies four
times in cost. The railroad gets
40 cents per bushel, or nearly
the whole value when raised.
The lumber dealer takes out al
most half the whole value, or
20 cents for the crate, the price
having been recently raised from
IL cents.
But that is not the end.
There is a commission man In
Brigham City and he gets 10
cents.
There is another commission
man In Salt Lake and he gets
another 10 cents. This lands the
apples to the retailer, according
TO computation, not according
TO invoice, at sl'SO
But the retailer charges So.
Asked to explain this today, Mr..
Jensen OF the Butchers and
; Grocers' association declared
that the retailer never charges
more than 90 cents per bushel, or
6 cents per peck, for handling
the apples. This leaves so cents
per bushel to be accounted for

has received his money, and the
