The same is true of horse power

cheap would not bale more than fifty
or sixty pounds to the bale. This is
not a bale of hay. One hundred
pounds are a bale, and any press that
will not put that amount OF hay into

cal.

Liquor Interests of Illinois Fighting
Prohibition Wave.
Chicago, March 3O.-The liquor in
terests of Illinois have adopted a gen
uine Chautauqua plan to combat the
sudden uprising of prohibition that
threatens to make considerable "dry"
territory on April Z, election day. Two
thousand Illinois cities, towns, vii
lagos and townships will vote on the
wet or dry" question on that day.
The only difference between the
liquor mems Chautauqua scheme and
the ordinary kind is that it's forty
lecturers are restricted as to their
subjects of address to the anti-prohi-
bition topic.
This unusual move began when w.
g. Hull, general manager of Peoria
d1stillery, opened headquarters in
Chicago.

6eld. most Of them preachers, both
qaen and women" said Mr.. Hull. "In
the next seven days they will make
BOO speeches in all the principal towns
Of the state"

prohibition quarters open until after

But Johnson Is Not Seeking the

st. Paul, March Ex-Governor John
A. Johnson has made his position with
respect to the Democratic presiden-

Swan J. Turnblad, publisher of a
Swedish daily newspaper in Minneap-

1t will be observed that Governor
Johnson stands by his original posi-
ton that the Office should seek the
man and not the man the office. The
letter, in part, follows: ........
IT do not believe that any Amer
lean citizen should be an active, open
candidate. for. the nomination to the
presidency, Any American would ap-
preciate the high honor which could
come to him in being selected as
standard bearer of his party.

has had much to say of me in con-
nection with this high office have
hitherto avoided any public or private
expression regarding my position.

at least say, in answer to your interro-
cation, that If the Democratic party of
the nation believes me to be more
available than any other man and felt
that by my nomination I could con-
tribute any service to the party and
to the nation should be happy to be
the recipient of the honor which it
would thus confer. -
II have done nothing and will do
nothing in the way of organization to
bring about this end and shall not be
a candidate in the sense of seeking
the nomination. If, however, those
who have the welfare of the country
and the Democratic party at heart
should feel that I am necessary in
this year of grace I certainly shall
respond to any call which may be
made upon me-"
