ALEXANDER
Alexander w Crawford of MOntgom-
cry county, candidate for clerk of the
supreme court of Illinois, is a Wilson
democrat and believes in the princi
pies that are advocated by President
Wilson For two terms he has repre-
scented the 21st congressional district
on the state board of equalization and
he has been one of the boards most
efficient members, having thoroughly
posted himself on all questions of tax
alton and other subjects with which
he had to deal in an official charac-
ter. He has successfully resisted the
entertainments of the corporations and
the big interests and has done all in
his power to compel them 70 pay their
just proportion of taxes. He has new
er lost sight of the fact that he was
representing the interests of a district

Long Distance Theories Enter

Chicago. Aug. 27-Long distance
theories have entered wheat. German
early success was originally figured as
bearish. but is now regarded as in
dicative of a long struggle. The in
ception of Italian activity in favor of
the allies is also suggestive of battle
longevity.
The French are also acting in way
that reveals a desire to avoid decisive
defeats and to create a long steady de-
tense. The announcements of English
leaders predicting a two-year cam
paign tends TO destroy the industry
of the short seller.
Predictions of extra fancy prices for
all grains naturally arise from the war
clouds and it can be pointed out that
wheat is the one necessary human
grain Russia is notably a slow stub
born fighter, which fact adds another
plausible contention to extended war
theories.
The main wheat question thus re-
solves into the problem-"What will
Europe raise in 1852" Small rye and
wheat crops west of Russia are posi-
BILE September and October are at
our doors. When the leaves fall
Europe receives its message that its
over-a-billion wheat and rye must be
sown.
War theories also asphyxiate the rou-
tine news in corn and oats. Corn
crop news being given the lightest
attention ever known in August. The
United States is regarded as the only
world storehouse Of general gram sup
plies.
In the light OF recent news there is
only one factOr-the duration of war.
II will assuredly outlap the sowing
period on the continent and this SOW
