The Nevada, Ia. Representative
says:
More and more as the political sit
uation over the country develops the
great metropolitan papers are waking
UP to the fact that Cummins is news.
This recognition is one of the main
points that has to be gained IN some
way before a candidate for president
passes from the class of favorite sons
into that Of serious propositions. As
a favorite son he may receive mum =
erous mentions that are polite com
plimentary and meaningless; but as n
real candidate, the papers that are
well disposed toward him will tell
what sounds well and those which arc
oflish toward him will endeaYor to
minimize his strength at home and
elsewhere. Such il the condition now;
for, as has before this been indicated,
the eastern papers that do not like
Cummins have been grasping Il stray
suggestions of the old time factional-
ism in Iowa, and other papers, like
The Chicago. Tribune, have been put
ting out some stuff of the kind tI4at
helps. -
In each case, however, as we see II,
the real incentive is a growing un-
Outstanding Of ths situation In Min
nesota, Kansas and the Dakctas, and
first of these is Minnesota. Evidently
the gathering incident to the meeting
of the national republican committee
las brought the conviction that II
Minnesota leads off emphaticaliy for
Cummins it is all off with other can
didates in the west while there is in
that state just enoagh of the old guard
sentiment for Root TO keep that state
from being classed as radical and to
invite there a preliminary and very
important test of strength. From
various and widely separated sources
comes notice of the fact that in Min
nesota there is opening up a smash
ing. fight between Cummins and Root,
and the very fact that there Is such a
fight there opening gives Cummins in
slant and emphatic priority over all
other western aspirants, while the
further fact that Root is able to make
even a start there shows that he has
more of national consequence than has
any other eastern possibility. And the
influence of the Minnesota fight is
bound to be contagious, while ths
character of the forum
there is such as to make everyone feel
that Minnesota has the power almost
to determine the nomination.
AS matter of fact Cumnins has

American Securities Are
Returning From Europe

New York. Dec. 24.-Approximately
$500, 600. 900 (par valued Of American
securities which were foreign owned
when the European war broke out,
have been absorbed in the United
States during the past sixteen months,
financial experts here estimated.
The Delaware & Hudson Co. an
.nounced that statistics furnished by
the 141 principal railroads of the Unit
ed States showed that $4S0,S92,135
(par value) OF American railroad
securities OF all forms were trans
ferred from foreign to American own
ers between Feb. and July 81, 1915.
In addition to this amount the COM
panies estimated that between $50. 0.000,-
600 and $75 ,O00, 900 was bought by Am
ericans from foreigners during the
same period. but had not been actually
transferred when the figures were
compiled.
Experts rented out that not only
had Americans bought back an
enormous volume Of domestic securi-
ties but that the recent $500,000. 900
Anglo French war loan had been
virtually absorbed here. thus bringing
the total OF securities taken from
foreign sources to at least s2.000.000,-
600.
In reaching this estimate. experts
took into account previous statement
from the Delaware a. Hudson that

The London manager Of the COM

that his company not only is not con-

forwarded strong protest to the state

he attributes the presence Of his COM

gone q long way in the dire etion OF the
presidency when he ha J gone far
enough to have the leadint politicians
Of Minnesota willing to mate his cause
their cause and to get bef md him for
a fight there which does iot seem TO
have any possible outcome other than
one OF victory. Such in "a tt had been
their determination beforl Root was
entered there by his friencs, and upon
fair analysis the Root movement in
Minnesota may be set down as a be-
lated and desperate effort TO stem the
Cummins tide in the wesi OF course,
such an effort was bound 20 be made
somewhere, and from thrI beginning
Senator Cummins and his friends have
been willing to stake the y. cause on
the verdict of Minneso a. IL such
should be the challenge of his oppo-
sition. Now that the ga Re Of battle
there is down, the results will be
awaited with profound ihterest but
with very great confidence. CT course,
everybody comedies that senator Root
is a great man; but loaded as he is
with the entanglements Il 1912 and
with a record-hateful OF Ill states TO
Minnesota in particular-ol support OF
Canadian reciprocity, 1t is lard TO con-
ceive what effect his ent y into the
fight there can have oth,r than the
further exaltation of Cur minis. The
Iowa candidate is coming right along.
The seeming certainty Of the Minne-
sofa. outcome is further trengthened
by the trend of matters 1 the east,
where among the more ointment or
the Republican leaders the re seem 10
be a concurrent judgment that Root
will not do. and where the New York
Tribune. which four years ago was =
Taft. administration organ, has opened
up with a most vigorout campaign
against any attempt Of the Republican
party to try to carry thro,'gh another
campaign the "bourbons" Who loaded
it down four years ago. |he eastern
status is such that it's wtttern effect
is bound to be discouragenie ient to the
Minnesota volunteers who lave UNDER
taken to get Root fayoratly into the
field, and the matter Is accordingly
drifting more and more tow ard q walk
away for Cummins in Mil nesota and
incidentally throughout the west. TINS
is exactly the outcome for which the
Cummins people are striving, and its
realization, as against an eastern sit
uation, paralyzed by doubt, differences
and uncertainties, ought to make
things easy in the national convention.

GROWTH
OF EXPENDITURES

Paris, Dec. "a. - Emile Almond,
chairman of the finance committee OF
the senate, in describing the constant
ly growing war expenditure, said tho
growth was partly due to causes al
ready known and partly also to lack
of parliamentary control rising from
the necessity of asking monthly
credits in advance of the budget, the
result of which was ito throw the
reins on the neck of administrations
in all that concerns public expendi-
ture.' ar s. '.-s r
In illustrating the growth of which
he spoke, Senator Almond stated that
while the military expenditure for the
last five months of 1914 was sos, 5,009,-

It is a Christmas little different
from the ordinary one. The 'Elks are
not giving the children toys or candy
or any of those things which they will
get elsewhere, but they. are giving
200 and $1,000 has been sent by the
good fellows in buying clothing and
shoes for the poor children.
There is everything in a stock Of
goods, that would make a fair sized
sclothing store for. boys and girls rang
ing in sizes from infants to l8 years
OF age and there are going to be a
large number of boys and girls made
happy by couple Of good suits of
underclothing, stockings, suits, shirts,
shirtwaists, cloaks and overcoats, hats,
caps, mittens and in fact anything that
is necessary to make every poor child
in the entire, community clothed in an
appropriate manner to meet the wintry
blasts of a. northern climate.
The goods are ali new too. There is
not an old garment in the entire COL
lection, every piece having been pur-
chased from the local stores by the
committee. The bunch of goods pur-
chased are garments such as are
being purchased every day in the
stores of the city by the more FORUM
ate people. The texture is just as good
and as expensive and the Elks do not
intend to give anything but the kind
of garment that will keep the young
sters of the city warm for tho remand
er of the winter.
The Elks have always proven them
selves to be good fellows at Christmas
time, but this is without a doubt the
greatest event of the kind that they
have ever contemplated and completed
for. They have made a
thorough canvass of the city with the
object in view of getting the names of
every family In need, realizing that
there are many who are in need but
who would starve or freeze before
saying anything about 1t. They have
made an especial effort to reach these.

University Prepares for Coming Year.
With the close of the summer SEES
sion OF the University of Wisconsin.
administrative officers and the faculty
began preparations 10 receive the
great number OF regularsession stu
dents who will come to the university
in September.
Students and their interests VIII be
moro closely supervised by the uni
versity this year than ever before. The
system which has been growing up in
the university in the last few years Of
caring for student health, for rooming
conditions and for other details OF stu
dent welfare will be even more com
plete this year.
Each student entering the university
is detailed 10 a class advisor in his
department, who watches the students
work through the year and puts him
in touch with student interests. At
the same time he comes under the OBJ
servation Of the department OF clinical
medicine which starts him off with a
thorough physical examination. Where
physical defects are found immediate
steps are taken TO prepare course of
life and study which will bring the
student into perfect health. Through
the year this department takes care of
all acute student illnesses. Under the
direction of the class advisor, the stu
dents work is arranged and an effort
made through the year to prevent fail
ure in any branches, Care is taken to
advise against participation In So
many outside interests that academic
work is neglected.
The woman students of the uniyer-
sity come directly under the care Of
Mrs. Lois K Mathews, the dean of
women, and by virtue of their being
students, members OF the Woman's
SelfGovernment association, which
prescribes rules for the welfare of the

tories and rooming houses are direct
ly under the care Of the dean Of wom-
en-. The two dormitories, Chadbourne

the coming year. Each year the dean
of women prepares list of women
rooming houses, based upon a careful
inspection. Women are permitted to
room only In houses which come up to
a standard prescribed by the depart
ment. This year the dean has pre-
pared list for parents and students,
which is descriptive as well as
enumeratiye, containing information
on prices. furnishings, lighting, heat
ing and bathing facilities.
A faculty committee on student life
and interests all through the year
watches all of the activities of the stu
dent body.
