TO PREVENT MATCH FAMINE.
American Chemists Preparing Substi
tute for Imported ingredients.

| If the European war continues for 4
long time, there may be brought about
n condition in which the United States,
lie unable to find its match, or. more
precisely, its matches. The head of
| one of the largest match concerns in
the country pointed out few days ago
| the danger of an impending match
famine in this country as a result OF
the war.
The supply of matches here, he said,
depends entirely upon the importations
from abroad inasmuch as 10 per cent
of the total matches used here. of the
safety variety, are imported directly
and the combination of chemicals used
in the remaining 80 per cent, or
scratch where you please" variety, can
also be obtained only from abroad.
THE fact that the present supply of
matches on hand in the United States
is low cannot be denied" said f. r.
Stettinius, president of the Diamond
Match company. Mr.. Stettinius added
that he had no fear OF q famine as re-
CARDS matches in this country.
Il want to emphasize the statement
that there is absolutely no need for
alarm In an emergency such as this
is just the time for us to keep our
heads. With the amount of chemicals
now on hand we can make enough
matches to last just about five months.
That is to say our firm can keep its
regular customers supplied just that
long. l cannot speak for the other
firms that help supply the trade, but
understand their condition is just
about the same as ours.
ITO have even so large a supply as
that on hand means a great deal when
you consider that about 10000, 900
matches are used every day i'm the
United States. On this basis, each in
dividual would use seven matches
day.
THE ingredients that go to make our
match heads come very largely from
the European countries affected by the
present war. The safety matches made
abroad come exclusively from Austria
and Belgium. II is possible to make
matches in Norway and Sweden, but
their product is bound to be diverted
entirely by the countries at war.
1--WE have long been at work to dis
cover n new method of making match
es, and not long ago our chemists act
ually succeeded in devising an alter
nate scheme which would not require
any imported chemicals. We believe
that II will work, and. Of course. we
stand ready to put il to the test. All
the details are not yet completed. but
our experts are now hsri at work at
their task. I have implicit faith that
they will make good"

BALLOT TODAY
Fifteen Hundred Candidates Seek
Nomination at Primaries

Springfield, ILL.,. Sept. 1.-The voters
OF Illinois. including liberal proper
ton OF women, went to the polls today
TO make their selections among fifteen
hundred candidates for State congress
| sional and legislative nominations
Eleven hundred out of the total num-
Der whose names appear on the pri-
mary ballots are contesting for nomi-
nations for seats in the legislature. a
larger number of Democrats are aspir-
ing to state offices than ever before in
the history Of the State. For most OF
the offices there are three or four times
as many Democratic candidates as Re-
publicans. Progressives have but few
opposing primary candidates
Public interest centers chiefly in the
contest for the Democratic nomination
for United States senator TO succeed
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, whose
terms will expire next March. 1t is the
first time in the history of the state
that the people have had an opportuni-
ty to nominate and elect senator by
direct vote, under the new amendment
to the Federal Constitution The con-
test has been one of the most interest
ing that Illinois has seen in many
years.
G. o. p. Situation Clear.
on the Republican side where Sena-
tor Sherman has little action OPPOSE
ton for the nomination, the situation
is quite clearly defined. The names of
several Republican aspirants appear on
the ballots, but their strength is not
considered formidable and il is gener-
ally believed that Senator Sherman
viii be renominated by a substantial
majority.
On the Democratic side the situation
is entirely different. More than doz-
en- Democrats entered the race for the
senatorship. Later a number of them
dropped out of the field, but there are
still five from which the voters may
make their choice. Roger G. Sullivan
OF Chicago, for many years the Illinois
member of the National Democratic
committee, is looked upon as the most
prominent OF the Democratic aspirants
for the senatorship. In fact, it is gem
orally conceded that the contest is one

Administration Opposes Sullivan.
Mr.. Sullivan has been a political foe
OF Secretary of State Bryan ever since

sequence he has not received the sup
port of the national administration in
the present contest. Likewise he is OPP
posed by the State administration of
Governor Dunno and the Chicago or
headed by Mayor Harrison.
Governor Dunno, Senator Lewis and
