One OF the difncult problems for the

any patent fountains Wa. are on the
market are automatic and keep before

admirable purpose. Under more adverse

trivances fail TO give satisfaction for the
simple reason that II is impossible to

II fowls were fed only whole grain and

La TOILETTE SURE TO BE
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
Republican Ranks viii Be Rent
ASunder When Convention
Is Called
By RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 17.-rhat
Senator Robert M LaFonette, of wiscon-
sin, will be a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for president is no long,
er matter Of doubt 1t became positive
ly known today.
Facts given out today as to Senator
LaFollette amount practically to the
statement that he is now a candidate
for president. They are made by au-
thority. While Senator LaFollette will
make no formal announcement of his
candidacy until he thinks the proper
time has arrived. there is no doubt that
he is at this time actually in quest of
the presidential nomination. The formal
announcement VIII be made in his own
way and presumably will be accompanied
by declaration OF his principles.
The candidacy OF Senator LaFollette
will be launched within the next month.
1t will be made clear at the time that
It is not the purpose of Senator LaFol-
lette or his hackers to make perfume
tory fight. They intend to carry the war
into every state in the union, and to do
their utmost to capture the nomination
and defeat President Taft in the next
Republican national convention.
1t is declared on high and responsible
authority that Senator LaFollette will
be supported by a majority of the pro-
gressive men in congress. It is said
that certain of the men known as leading
progressives throughout the country who
are now being set down as Taft support
ers will be for LaFollette.
When LaFollette's candidacy is an
nounced 1t is asserted there will be some
surprises in store, and that men of such
great political promise will be found en-
listed in 1t. as to make this candidacy ap-
pear much more formidable than it has
appeared at any time thus far.
The certain fact that the LaFollette
candidacy is going to be announced soon
foreshadows fight for the control of the
coming Republican national convention Of
the utmost vigor and probably much Bit
terness. II is well known that the rela-
lions between LaFollette and the White
House have never been pleasant. Sena-
tor LaFollette recently assailed the re-
ciprocity measure in terms that reflect
ed sharply on President Taft More Of
this will be had in the reciprocity debate.
In the discussion of reciprocity Senator
LaFollette is prepared to make the fight
of his life for this legislation and for the
broadening out Of the reciprocity agree
ment and he will doubtless be beaten. He
proposes to go, before the country and
run for president on the issue, among
others. In the course of the tariff debate
LaFonette will speak at great length
on the tariff question and reciprocity in
all its phases and will define his position
with great care.

PROFESSOR PREDICTS
PERPETUAL PEACE

MANHATTAN, Kan. June 16-Dr.
Edward Benjamin Krehbiel, Of Leland
Stanford university, California, in the
commencement day address delivered
here today at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college, declared that the peace
agreement has come to stay"
Emphasizing the part he believes
America should take in the spread of
the anti-war gospel, he said:
, what is needed is leader, a people
which shall boldly avow its full and i'm
plicit belief in the ideal of universal
peace and act accordingly. The nations
of the old world bound up in long-stand-
ing rivalries and in the prevalent mill
tarism, cannot assume this leadership.
The Asiatic nations cannot do so, for
the world regards them as inferior.
America is the logical candidate"
