Needed to Make Market, Says
Charles 3. Pierce.

Charles b. Pierce Of the Chicago
Board of Trade, testifying before the
House committee on agriculture on the
proposed measure to prohibit specula-
ton in cotton and grain futures. de-
clared that speculation in the grain ex-
change was no more than the specula-
ton a man dealt in when he bought a
grocery store.
If we did not have the spectators to
make a market" he said. producers of
grain would be at the mercy of the one
purchaser of grain to whom he sold"
Referring to the apparent difference In
prices in the Canadian markets and mar
kets in this country. Mr.. Pierce asserted
that it was only natural that prices here
should be higher, because this country
has q smaller surplus Of grain than does
Canada. In concluding the testimony

"You might as well try to dam the Mis-
sissippi with greenbacks as to begin the
building of public roads out of the funds
Of the Treasury" he said.
Every member knows that even such
a large expenditure would be mere be-
ginning. Not only that, but all civic and

Claims for Wilson Ridiculed.

Champ Clark's headquarters last night
gave out the following:
THE extravagances Of the claims made
by the managers of Gov. Wilson, and Of
other candidates, regarding the complex
ion Of state delegations to the national
convention are looked upon with COM
placency by Senator Fred T. Dubois, who
Is directing the campaign for Speaker
Clark. Notwithstanding the emphatic
declaration made by Gov. Wilson's parti-
sans and others that Arkansas will not be
instructed for Clark in the national con-
vention. it is a fact that the delegation
from that state will be instructed.
"Governor-elect Joe Robinson Of Arkan-
sas, who swept the state against Gov.
Donaghey by majority Of more than
$1,000. has advised Speaker Clark that,
despite all reports to the contrary, Ar
kansas will instruct its delegation for
him at the state convention, which meets
in June. No county has instructed for
any other candidate, with the possible ex-
ception OF one small county. The Speak
er has an overwhelming majority of in
structed and pledged delegates to the
again, in Wisconsin. Gov. Wilson's
managers are claiming that the full
strength of the Wisconsin delegation,
numbering twenty-six votes. will be cast
for the New Jersey executive at Balti-
more. Representative Michael E. Burke
of Beaver Dam. Wis, one Of the only
two democratic members Of Congress, to-
day ridiculed this claim. Mr. Burke de-
clared that the Speaker has absolutely
pledged to him and instructed to vote for
him at the convention seven district dele
gates to the Baltimore convention. and
that some other districts are in doubt.
and so close as to require the official
count.
'Mr. Burke asserted the absurdity of
the claims made by Wilson's managers
In Milwaukee. where two of the four dis
trfct delegates elected are out-and-out
Clark men. yet claimed for Wilson. These
men are Lawrence McGreal and Michael
Blenski. The latter wired Senator Dubois
that he had been elected and would vote
for Clark In the convention. Another
delegate pointed to by the Wilson fol-
lowers as a Wilson delegate is Tom
Fleming Of West Alice. who has declared
his preference for the Speaker. In Rep
resentative Burkes district two Clark
delegates were elected by a large major
ity.
Under the Wisconsin primary law the
delegates from that state cannot be
bound by the unit rule The full dele
cation will meet next Tuesday, but it
would be a violation of the primary law,
Mr.. Burke declares. IL an attempt were
made to bind the entire delegation for
any candidate"

les.
In the beginning of the convention,
which was not very well attended. 1t
appeared that everything was "cut AMI
dried before the convention has as

ed to place Senator-elect Ollie James

Declares That Vansant Solicited

Interests.
louisville Courier-Journal.)

Since the Haley-R hca- BE clham- Mayo
vansant combine has flooded the State
with circulars that the fight against the
machine was prompted by the liquor
of the county unit extension law at the
next session of the Legislature, 1t will
of Kentucky to learn something
of the gang headed by Rufus r..
Vansant, who is seeking the Democratic
State Craftsmanship and denouncing his
opponent, John Nj. Stevenson, as being
in league with the liquor interests, a
charge which Mr.. Stevenson denounces
as absolutely false.
PROMISED TO BEAT COUNTY UNIT.
1t can and will be proved that Rufus
II. Nansant, who was chairman of the
Democratic State Campaign Committee
last fall, made repeated overturos to
the liquor interests for campaign contri-
buttons to help elect the Democratic
State ticket. with the assurance that
ocratic the county unit extension bill
would be defeated.
1t can and will be proved that the IL
quor interests of Kentucky did make a
large contribution to the Democratic cam
paign fund in return for this assurance
by Chairman Vansant. and that the
money was turned over to Vansant's per
sonal representatives in a certain room
in Louisville.
LIQUOR MEN COMPLIED.
1t can and will be proved that the as
surance given by Chairman Vansant wa
accepted by the liquor men in good
faith and that they complied with their
part of the agreement.
1t remains to be seen whether the
true Democrats of Kentucky can he fool
ed by the clap-trap of the gang in play
people of Kentucky as the exigencies of
the occasion demand.
When the State platform convention
met last year and the platform was
adopted it was believed that the liquor
question was out of politics and settled
for good in Kentucky. but the gang. II
appears, intends to ride the liquor ques-
ton at every opportunity.

Pasadena, Cal, May 25.-.The woin-

going dry yesterday. according to final
returns received to-day. They flocked
to the polls and cast their entire strensd

The reason for their activity was the
report that If the city went dry Adolphu

would close his famous sunken gardens
and move his winter home to Santa
Monica.
This morning confirmation of this con-
action by Busch was given by

the right to entertain his friends dn his

longer care to consider Pasadena as one

His grounds Immediately would have
been closed to the public, although MIR.

pride is his sunken gardens. Ten days
