Argentina felt the effect Of the money
striagency in the United States at once,
business in that country being almost
entirely done on the credit system. The
Landowner induces foreigners 10 settle on
/ his land, which he gives them for an an
nual tribute Of one-third Of the crop. The
settler gets his farming implements from
1 the wholesale dealer in the city who, in
/ turn handles the crop Of the farmer. The
dealer conducts his business with foreign
limport firms on a credit basis So, when
| the news Of financial stringenCy was re-
lceiyed. there were hard times, because
credit ceased

some parts OF the state the railroad

Edwin 3. Lynch. Of San Francisco. Cal,
Ia lawyer OF that city, is at the Ia Nor
mandie 70 represent a case before the
departments here to-day. Mr. Lynch is
fully convinced that # will be either

Everything points 10 Roosevelt" said
Mr. Lynch. Now. take for instance the
many important measures pending be

could master these questions? Who
would be equal TO the task? Who would
assume the responsibility of solving them

no one but Roosevelt. and the great mass

them on.

endauger the success Of the Republican
ticket at the polls The leaders of the
party are aware Of this danger, and are
fully prepared to unite on a dark horse,
t provided Roosevelt cannot be prevailed
