would be the unanimous choice Of his

House officials refused to make any
comment. In Democratic circles,
however it is taken for granted the
President will be candidate, al
though it was stated that so far as
known he has not given the question
any personal attention.
The denomination OF several Sena-

supported the President on various
questions has encouraged Democratic
campaign managers. In connection
with the Vice Presidents statement.
attention was paid tonight to the
nomination Of Representative Hard
wick for Senator from Georgia. The
praise Of the Presidents Mexican
policy in several Democratic plat
forms recently also has pleased the
Presidents adherents.
The Vice Presidents statement was
made in the course of an unauthor-

ton, which concluded thus:
"The Democratic party will have
but one candidate for President in

The Truth About Alcohol.
Green wood JournalD

TO our way of thinking the most
interesting and important news item
in Thursdays Daily Journal was the
one from Richmond, Va, giving an
account OF Mr.. Hobson's speech on
the liquor evil. For a long time
prohibtionists have been declared
cranks and impractical people by
those who have tried to thwart the
odds against John Barleycorn. but
these same people, call them cranks,
if you please, have showed that the
facts are on their side. This coun-
try has no more able prohibition
champion than Richmond Pearson
Hobson and We are glad to give a
short account Of his address. Good
people everywhere will hope that his
speech will turn the tide against the
whiskey traffic in the great state of
Virginia.
Boiled down, Mr. Hobson's chief
arguments against alcohol are as
follows:
Alcohol is a poison and has no
food value.
Alcohol is a narcotic and not
stimulant.
Alcohol reverses the process Of
nature and tears down where nature
is trying to build up.
Alcohol kills more Americans
every year thdn were killed in battle
in 2,3OO years.
Alcohol is the great specific cause
for degeneracy.
AlcOho's particular characteristic
is that it tears down in the line Of
evolution.
Alcohol shortens life from four
teen to thirty years.
Alcohol causes 40 out OF every
1000 deaths in the United States.
Alcohol is killing our people at the
rate Of 1000 every day in the year
Alcohol is ten thousand times
more destructive than all wars COM
Dned.
Alcohol will claim the sacrifice of
thrce-fourths OF the children Of pa
rents who become alcoholic.
Alcohol causes an annual loss of
$S,OOO,OOO in production in the
United States because Of loss Of
efficiency.
Surely this is a terrible arCaign-
ment OF the liquor monster. And
Mr.. HObsOn in the facts given deals
only with the physical side When
it is added that liquor also ruins a
mans soul there is absolutely moth
ing that can be said for It.

GRAPHITE IMPORTS CUT OFF.

Although the value Of graphite inn

pie supply Of graphite in this coun-

large deposits Of amorphous graphite

American firms and can be depended
upon for supplies Of graphite for
pencils. lubricatinE material and
many other uS,3. Moreover, graph

these uses pOrbably consume over
half OF the graphite used in this

brought largely from the British is
land OF Ceylon. although within the
last few years some has been brought
from the French island OF Madagas-
car. This graphite is Aaky or fb-
rouS, and for this reason is eminent
ly adapted to cTucible making. For
this use it has never met with seri-
GUS competition from domestic graph
ite. The earthly amorphous graphite
mined in this country and the graph
ite manufactured at Niagara Falls are
not adapted to this use, and as a rule
the expense of concentrating domestic

The graphite in these deposits occurs
as small flakes in rocks composed
mainly Of quartz. fcldspar and mica,

cent by weight.
Several plants are now engaged in
working such deposits, and many
others now idle could be put on a
producing basis in short time and
at little expense. Although the pro-
duct might not be equal to the Ccy-
lon graphite in all respects for cruci-
bic making, there is no question that
1t would be adequate. for similar
graphite has for years been success
fully used in Germany.
Another American resource is the
graphite deposit near Dillon, Mont.
The graphite there is very similar TO
that from Ceylon and should be ad-
aDtablc for Cruciblc making. AL
