stock OF other railroads held by him to
the Union Pacific company or to detail
the manner in which the famous 10 per

Hughes Friends Eager
to Begin Campaign
Believe New York Delegation
Should Be Instructed TO
Support His Candidacy
Special BY Leased Wire to The Call

Special By Leased Wire to The Call
WASHINGTON, Nov 1S.-Friends of
Governor Hughes believe that unless
he permits his supporters in New York
state to begin an active campaign
shortly to secure for him the repub-
lican nomination for president he Will
severely jeopardize what is now re-
garded as an excellent chance of win
ming the high honor of being his party's
standard bearer in the big fight next
year. They are becoming more and
more convinced that a contest should
be entered upon forthwith for dele
gation to the convention Instructed for
Hughes. An uninstructed delegation,
in theiT opinion, would probably mean
that the governor would not figure
seriously before the convention. The
man who would be most benefited by
the sending of an uninstructed dele
cation from New York. would, as the
politicians view it. be President Roose-
welt himself, who In spite of his cleo
tion night declaration that he would
not accept a denomination is generally
looked to for an amendment OF that
determination If the delegates OF his
party cast the necessary number of
votes for him. It looks now as if he
does not want the delegation instructed.
National Committeeman Ward of New
York and National Committeeman
Brooks of Connecticut have conferred
with the president in the last "a hours,
and from the very little they had to
say of their interview 1t is quite clear
that President Roosevelt is against in
structions. 1t is held that II New York
sends its quota to the convention with
out saying specifically for whom the
delegates are first to vote, the presi-
dent will be able to swing them as he
pleases.
The third term boomers are in a more
hopeful frame Of mind than ever over
the outlook and are declaring that the
situation is shaping so rapidly as TO
make 1t almost certain that the presi-
dent will be nominated.

San Francisco as the fourth

yesterday afternoon at a meeting
of the real estate board when

ties to agree upon a plan Of con-
solidation and then get together

OUR NATIONAL DANGER.
Time to Cry a Halt Before Panic
Comes.

Comes.
The business spirit is crushing out
the sweeter element of home life. we
are in danger of a great commercial
decline. because men. as whole, think
only of getting wealth.
There are thousands, both men and
women. who do not take time to eat
properly. They rush thru life, and as
result we have an age of indigestion,
nervousness, irritability, sleepless
nights, and morose disposition.
With the discovery of Mi-o-na tab
lets, there is no longer any excuse for
one to have i'll health from stomach
weakness.
Mi-o-na strengthens the walls or the
stomach, stimulates secretion of the
digestive juices, regulates the liver and
restores muscular contraction to the
intcstines and bowels, so no laxative Is
needed.
Sick headaches, palpitation, bad taste
In the mouth, yellow skin. lrritablllty
coated tongue and melancholy are
few of the many distressing results OF
Indigestion Mi-o-na never fails to
dispel all these troubles.
Mcbride & Will sell Mi-o-na in So
cent boxes, and guarantee to refund
the money if the remedy does not give
complete satisfaction. .l,...

unable to accomplish the same amount
of work that he would perform in

having high pay and try to accumu-

There are about 10000 men at work
on the canal at the end of the fiscal
year. During the previous twelve
months 10000 were imported from the
United States, Europe and the West

besides a hospital for the insane and

In the interest Of sanitation $780,
900 has been spent in the cities Of
