DuNNE PUTS cRiMP IN
ASPIRATIONS OF HEARST

Chicago, July Civ. r. Hearst and
Governor Dunno, OF Illinois, have
reached the parting of the ways The
split came over the vetoing of the mo-
ton picture censorship bill, directly,
but indirectly that was only the cul-
mination and the final crimping Of
what Is taken to be a Hearst plan to
get control of the Illinois delegation in
the next national convention. Incident
ally the Illinois delegation. in that con-
tingency. would have been for Hearst
for president s.l-.,,s. y. i ~! !.s5-ass.
Hearst lieutenant. has been advanced
rapidly In Illinois politics: He has been
eultivating boom for governor.
Dunno. 1t is understood. had a tacit
understanding with the Hearstites he
would not seek reelection. The censor
ship bill would have given Stevenson a
big amount of political patronage.
Wilson democrats saw through the
scheme of Hearst and Stevenson. 1t
was pointed out that Hearst, through
the cultivation of Governor Glynn, had
hoped for the latter's reelection as gov
srnor Of New York. With Glynn as
governor of New York. Hearst had an
excellent chance to obtain control of
the New York delegation to the demo-
cratic national convention. Glynn's de-
feat for reelection was the first blow.
Governor Dunno was then shown the
danger OF Stevenson's powers. AS gov
srnor. he was shown that he would be
the logical leader OF the party in the
state in 1916.
With Stevenson in control of the state
organization. Hearst would have had an
excellent chance to gain control of the
Illinois delegation to the national con-
vention He figured on securing con-
troll of the California delegation him
self. Thus he would have had New
York. California. and the hub of the
wheel of national politics-Illinois-a
his back against President Wilson. 1t
Is said
The AK fell and Mr.. Hearst lost the
second state delegation.

Government REFUSES
Corn Crop Estimate

The first crop report issued by the
government this fall indicated that the
corn crop equalled that of 1914. This
report was quite misleading, as per-
maps half of the state has large per-
centage of soft corn. The department
of agriculture has just issued q sup

now estimated at 77.2 basis of 100 per
cent being regarded as medium high

Cantwell was summoned on the case
Friday morning he did not report 1t to
the authorities Or the newspapers until
Saturday.
Coroner Cantwell gave as a reason
for suppressfng the news the fact that
he was afraid publicity would cause
witnesses to "cover up" According to
his own statement, he labored under
the impression, logical or faulty, as 1t
may be, that If witnesses were con-
fronted by officials after It had been
printed that they would know "too

He gave me poison, He gave me
poison!" Drummond continually re-
peated, while in a state of semi-con-

used every means to learn the identity
Of the person referred to by him. but
were unable to do So and he passed
away without giving any evidence
which might lead 70 an arrest.

setback, was bought by commission
houses. A very bullish report, issued
by a local statistician, and the stron g
trend OF wheat brought nav high lev
