A Progressive or Bryan.

Special to imes-Republican
Des Moines, Dec. 12.-Politicians toS
day are discussing the statement Of
the president, and opinion is divided
whether or not he has finally elimin.
ated himself from all consideration as;
q candidate for president. Railroad
Commissioner Eaton, Auditor Carroll
and State Superintendent Riggs all de-
clared that his statement would have
no effect on the decision Of the people
in the republican party. Governor
Cummins, Deputy Auditor Roe, Secre-
tary Simpson and others, say that they
believe the statement does eliminate
him from consideration, and that his
declaration that he will not accept ID
final, and must be respected.
Delegates to the convention Oh the
Corn Belt Meat Producers association
are discussing the matter, and many
Of them are insistent that Roosevelt or
Bryan will be the next president
Many republicans among them are
saying that they will vote for Bryan
in preference to any man Of the type
Of Fairbanks, Cannon or Hughes.
Leaders of the party in Iowa who
are In Des Moines, are. discussing the
probable attitude of Iowa and the
choice Of the Iowa delegates. VIII the
state unite on Taft. and IL It viii not
unite on Taft, will it not insist ON
Cummins? LaFollette has been menA
toned, but his following does NOT
seem large. The progressives havs
continually hoped that Rooseyele
would finally accept. Those who bes
lieve he is now entirely out of the
question are insisting that the lows
delegation must stand for q progress
sive, and If the state will not accepe
Taft, there are indications that It will
not, will 1t not instruct the delegation
for Cummins?

NEWSPAPER RISE INEVITABLE.
Publishers Bound Hand and Foot by
Rem arkable Advance in Paper.

Remarkable Advance IN Paper.
New York, Dec. 12.-Reports from
publishers thruout the country show
universal tendency to raise subscrip-
,tion rates in an effort to secure a par,
tial offses &C the advance in the cost
of white paper and of practically all
other items Of expense in connection
with the making Of a newspaper. De-
troit has always been a stronghold of
low rates, but chief among the news,
papers which have recently broken
away from the 1-cent rate are the
Detroit Free Press and the Detroit
News. Beginning with the edition of
Dec. 2, the retail price of the Free
Press was raised from / cent to 2
cents. Daily only the Free Press will
cost 10 cents week, As cents a month
nnd S. q year. The Sunday edition
will cost, as before, cents copy, the
monthly price being placed at 25 cents
and the yearly cost at $3.50. Daily and
Sunday the price will be 15 cents q
week, 65 cents a, month and $3.50 a
year. The Detroit News has announc-
ed similar increase In the price of.
Its morning edition.
"The general tendency toward en-
HANGED prices, whose effects everybody
appreciates and whose effects are es-
pecially appreciated by the house
wife, has had since the beginning Of
the century an influence on practi-
scally every item entering into the
cost Of newspaper production" said
the Free Press in explaining its in
crease of price. "When to the increase
In all other items was added an un-
expected and especially burdensome
Increase in an item of such magnitude
and Importance as that representing
the cost of the white paper with which
the presses are fed it can be seen that
q condition of urgency and embarrass-
ment was created"
In justifying its action the News de-
clared:
production OF newspapers in the
United States has caused such an
enormous consumption of wood pulp
that the forests of spruce and other
pulp woods are nearly swept away.
No substitute material has been dis
covered, and in the face of the dimin-
fishing supply paper manufacturers
have felt compelled to rapidly ad-
vance their prices.
This advance is threatening to end
the day of 1-cent newspapers. Manu-
.facturers believe that in the near fu-
ture they will be compelled to again
advance the price. The situation has
grown more and more acute with each
advance. The mills have been turn
ing to Canada for their supply of
spruce; but, remembering the effect of
their export duty on pine logs when
the lumbermen were bringing them
across the border, Canadians are now
agitating strongly the policy Of putting
an export duty on spruce. This has
made the American mills more ap-
prehensive for the future.
"The result is that publishers are
practically bound hand and foot so
much 20 that they are not getting the

CONTEST FOR CONVENTIONS.
Five Cities Present Claims Before
Democratic Committee.

Oemocratlo Commlttee.
Washington, Dec. 12.-Chairman
Taggart called the democratic ma
tional committee to order at noon to-
day. The states which failed to re-
spond to roll call were Arkansas, Cal
ifornia, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts,,
Montana, North Dakota, Texas, Okla
homa and the territory of Hawaii. A
committee was appointed to draft suit
able resolutions commemorative of the
services of Messrs. Dennis of Nevada,
and Peery Of Utah, who died since
the last convention. The delegates
then proceeded to- nominate cities for
the place of holding the next conven-
tion. Five cities made q bid for the
convention, as follows: Denver, Louis
vile, Chicago, ST. Paul and Atlantic
City.
Denver's Claim Presented.
Charles r. Franklin, of Denver, was
the first speaker. He displayed a num-
Der Of diagrams covered with circles,
Of which Denver was the center.
'The people of Denver are enthusi-
astic about the convention, and we
have come here with the money for
it's expenses he said. He spoke, Of
ample accommodations both in the
matter Of hotels and an auditorium,
which he said was capable of holding
$4,000 people. Franklin made a strong
point of the climate of Denver, de-
claring it was so invigorating that the
delegates would be able to do as much
work in two days in that city as they
would be able to do in the humid at
mosphere Of the east in three days.
Franklin declared the Denver COM
mittee had 100000 to cover the ex-
penses and guaranteed every facility
in the matter of hotels, committee
rooms, press accommodation, etc.
W. H. r. Mills, Of the Denver Busi-
ness Mems league, presented the for
NAL invitation of Denver, repeating in
substance what he had said to the re-
publican committee in the effort to get
the republican convention to that city.
Senator Teller supported those who
had proceeded him in all they said
about Denver. He said he did not
think the expenses of the convention
would be 100000, but nevertheless
the money would be given as gift
without any restrictions, to be used
as the committee saw fit. He guaran-
teed that there would be no robbery
of delegates by the hotels, and said
it would encourage the Colorado dem
ocrats to have the convention in Den
yer. There was a good democratic
following in that state, "and," he said,
twice we gave that incompatible
democrat, William Jennings Bryan,
out electoral votes and we can do that
again, either to Bryan or some other
good democrat"
Other Cities Put in Bids.
Speaking for Chicago, James Ham
ilton Lewis read a telegram saying the
city was prepared to make an offer of
convention hall, rent free, $4,000 in
cash for immediate delivery in order
to secure the convention. He also said
he had received verbal assurances that
if more money was necessary to pay
the actual expenses of the convention it
would be forthcoming.
Representative Sherley, of Kentucky,
presented Louisville's claim. Louis
vile, he said. offered every advantage
for convention such as that of a
national political party. Sherley said
Louisville would furnish free Of cost

Washington, Dec. 12.-The an
nouncement made by President
Roosevelt of his determination not
to accept another nomination for the
presidency has given some stimulus
to the anti-Bryan sentiment among
democrats, especially Of the eastern
states.
Several Of them declared before the
national committee went into session
that the presidents elimination from
the contest would materially increase
the democratic chances If an eastern
man could be chosen as the democrat
ic candidate. They mentioned espec-
tally the names Of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Chanler, of New York, and
former Governor Douglas, of Massa-
chusetts. There also were expressions
favorable to Governor Johnson. Of
Minnesota
with Johnson and Chanler we have
q good chance" said one Of them.
Among those who were mingling
with the crowd was w. B. Hunter, Of
New York city, treasurer of the Bryan
Democratic League of New York state,
which numbers $1,000 members.
Il should like to see Bryan. presi-
dent" said 5Hunter, but I don't think
he can be elected it nominated"
