supreme court today on the other side

ADVERTISING TALKS

the advertising man who is al

Eugene Kelcey Allen, who

most RESOURCEFUL as well
as one of the most PERSIS-
TENT advertising men in the
country.
The New York Clipper, he
thinks, is suitable medium in
which to advertise anything
that's decent, so he goes after
every account that he sees adj
vertised anywhere, and a great
many others that he never sees

He is a chap with an engaging

H|LLES DENIES HE
TALKED ON POLICY
TOWARDS PRIMARIES
Presidents Secretary De-
clares He Has Not Bar
gained Over Challenge.

Authority was given by Secretary
Hilles today for the statement that no
policy has been outlined by him as
that of the Administration, toward pref.
erential primaries for the nomination OF
delegates to the next national conven-
ton.
Interviews purporting to come from
the Presidents secretary this morning
declared that the Presidents friends
would meet the challenge OF the pro-
gressives In Ohio for such primary BY
agreeing to the nomination of all dele
gates from that state by a primary.
In discussing this matter today Mr..
Hilles pointed out the fact that already
there is legal primary for the nomina-
ton of district delegates to the con-
vention. About this there is no Ques-
ton, and there has been none. But re-
garding the suggestion that the four
delegates-at-large be 30 nominated, Mr..
Hilles said, he has made no statement
other than to point to the fact that no
law now exists isnn for sategIaI,nins sucf be
primary, he added, hardly could be ex.
pected properly to reflect the sentiment
Of the people.
friends of the President have declared
that his opposition to such primary
lay in the fact that without restrictions
Democrats would vote In II, II they
wanted to. and would be able to side
with La Toilette, and show majority
In the primary.
It is a fact, now fully conceded at the
White House. that when the Republican
national committee meets In this city,
December 8, the question Of preferential
primaries will be the one big issue to
be settled.
The sentiment in many Of the States
for suoh an opportunity to show their
preferences for the Presidential nomi-
nation will be felt in the committee, and
it's members will have TO go on record
for or against primaries.
Five States have laws providing for
such primaries. Other States can order
them through their State committee,
and the national committee can recon-
mend them to all State organizations OF
the party
The attitude Of the Administration, IL
can be authoritatively stated, Is In
favor of such primaries where they are
provided for by law. The Administra-
ton has misgivings about primaries
which may not be safeguarded, how
ever.
