II thank the many loyal friends

liquor dealers showed brains and
generalship in the fight by using
the Federated clubs to nominate
their man for mayor and candi-

have some difficulty in explaining
to new members whose votes they
will need, why they double-crossed
a man at the first opportunity, who
had always supported all moral

reason that 1t was stated ON the

GERMANS FIGHT
YANKEE TRUST

BERLIN, April 1.-THE formation
of stock company for the manu-
facture of farm implements by
three firms of a powerful farmers
organization is believed to be the
first step of agriculturists to break
the American monopoly on the
farm industry. The new company
is capitalized for s1,000,000 The
plant will be capable of turning out
5000 moving machines annually
and will be operated Immediately.
The rapidly growing demand for
mowers, binders and other farm i'm
plements resulting in importations
during the last two years valued at
$10,000,000, is the direct cause of
the action of the Germans.

SHORTS TO COVER IN WILD
SCRAMBLE TODAY.

CHICAGO, April MAY wheat
started soaring this morning. At
the opening it jumped to $1.24A
BY leaps and bounds it reached a
cent higher, which is 81 cents
higher than the highest point
reached in the Gates corner of
1905.
The sudden advance is due to ef-
forts of shorts to cover, following
a disposition on the part of "bull''
campaigners, headed by James Pat
ten, to take profits in May and
July wheat.
1t is believed that after the open
ing Patten sold nearly 100000
bushels of May at fancy prices
This hammered May down. Fiji
teen minutes after the opening it
dropped to $1.24as in one of the
liveliest sessions ever seen here.
