Geographical Position Will be Given
Much Weight in Selection OF
Candidate.

Baltimore, June 26.-There was
much consideration by the Demo.
cratic leaders of available timber for
the vice presidential nomination.
While admitting that geographical
considerations would control, and that
final selection would not be possible
until after the head of the ticket had
been decided upon, the claims OF the
various candidates were discussed.
If Bryan should be nominated for
president, the general impression was
that he would prevail on Gov. Wilson
Of New Jersey to be his running mate,
though Wilson has told his friends
that under no circumstances would he
accept second place.
There was q well defined boom In
certain circles for Senator O'Gorman
Of New York, who has taken dis
tinct stand for progressive measures
ever since he entered the senate.
Gov. Marshall OF Indiana, although
. presidential candidate, had many
warm supporters, as had Gov. Foss OF
Massachusetts, and Gov. Baldwin Of
Connecticut.

Chicago, June 26.--"We will make
them ait up. and take notice. The Pro
gressive party is the party OF the
people and the people will rule"
Those were the words of George w.
Perkins, supporter OF Col. Roosevelt
and one of the leaders in the third
party movement, as he left Chicago
for the East early in the afternoon.
Mr.. Perkins was one of the last Roose.
Welt leaders to leave the city after
the Republican national convention.
News of the defeat of William Jen-
nings Bryan in the Baltimore conven.
ton by the conservative faction was
received with no concealment Of JOY
by adherents of Theodore Roosevelt,
who are busy with the preliminaries
of organizing a new political party in
Illinois.
ut means that Mr.. Bryan can now
openly declare his despair of inject
ing progressive principles into the
Democratic party and there is no rea-
son why he should not ally himself
with Col. Roosevelt and the fight for
political freedom" said Medill Nc.
Cormick.

made it clear that the work would be,

Col. Roosevelt was greatly pleased
at the news from Baltimore. He
showed how closely he was keeping
in touch with the situation there by
reciting the vote by which William J.
Bryan had been defeated short time
before in his contest with Alton B.
Parker for the craftsmanship Of the
convention.

SAVE YOUR CORN
FROM CHNCH BUGS

Manhattan. June 26.-Wet wea-
Their barriers against chinch bugs are
in order now II the corn crop IL to
remain uninjured. The unusually
frequent rains have made dry, OF
dust barriers OF little avail. The
bugs have not started their migra-
ton in earnest; that will begin az
soon as wheat is out and their food
has DISAPPEARED. With this advance
notice, therefore, every farmer in
the central Kansas corn and wheat
belt, from southern Marion county
north to the Nebraska boundary,
should protect his corn. That this
can be done with the wet weather
barrier has been positively proved.
To stop the passing OF chinch bugs
II is necessary to plow a ridge be-
tween the infested and non-infested
fields. The top of this ridge must
be smooth and 1t should be higher
than any nearby ground so that no
soil will drop on It. On top OF the
ridge pour an unbroken line OF coal
tar. road oil or crude oil. Road oil
No. 8 made only at Whiting, Ind, by
the Standard Oil Company, costs
$3.50 a barrel. 1t has proved salts
factory only as a barrier over which
the bugs will not pass. The oil line
should be at least three fourths OF
an inch wide, and may best be poured
from an old tea kettle. OF course
the oil must be kept liquid. Every
break in the line must be quickly
repaired. Post holes every fifteen
or twenty feet, on the infested field
side, are effective in trapping the
bugs.
The ridge may be made with an
ordinary breaking pillow or lister by
throwing two burrows together. Then
finish the top with home made,
inverted trough dragged along the
ridge.
Almost any farmer will devise
ways and means to make his barrier,
but to be absolutely effective the tar
or oil line must be unbroken. A
gasoline blow torch to burn the bugs
along the line is a valuable aid. This
can be bought for about IS. Set the
expense for this protection, and the
labor, against the value of the crop.
and every farmer should realize the
Importance Of being ahead Of the
bugs IL his crop is to be saved. Ex-
cellent pictures and directions for
making chiAch bug barriers, prepared
by DR.. T. ]. Headlee, entomologist
ut the Kansas Agricultural College
were printed in the Mail and Breeze
last Saturday.
