Eight Times JOhnson's Number.

three and four times as many as all

In the rock rooted democratic states
like Mississippi Governor Johnson
seems to have been scarcely heard of,
being credited with only three votes
for first choice, as compared with 12S
for Bryan.
In North Carolina the Johnson
strength runs up relatively more than
IT. any other southern state, reaching
approximately one-half the Bryan vote.

There is a strong second choice
feeling in the south, as elsewhere, in

MAKERS MARK UP PRICES
OF RAW MATERIAL AGAINST SELVES
TOBOOSI PRICE OF PRODUCT: NORRIS

Washington, May 6.-John Norris
of New York. the representative of the
Newspaper Publishers asso-
ciation, yesterday repeated his state
ment before the house committee in
vestigating the wood pulp and print
paper industry that the American
paper manufacturers have bought
large tracts of wood Land in Canada
and charges that instead of cutting
the timber on this land, (which they
have bought with almost reckless
ness" they have gone into the market
and artificially marked up the prices
on themselves. He protested that the
American consumers should not be
.saddled with the penalties of any
such speculation. Mr.. Norris produced
figures to show that there had been
|a reduction in the price of pulp wood
exported from Canada. He expressed
the opinion that paper now selling
for $50 or $50 ton could be made
for $50 ton.
