SAN Francisco. Nov. 26.-Standpat
Republicans in California are inclined
to favor Elihu Root a. the standard
bearer OF the party in 1916. while the
progressive Republicans and Progress
ives are strongly for Gov. Hiram John

cidedly evident when inquiries are
pressed.
"lf the party cannot get together on
Root" the st~andpatter Is asked. who
Is the man having the qualifications
necessary 10 reunite the factions?'
Hughes is Invariably the prompt
reply.
Among the Progressives there is a pow
erful undercurrent for Hughes, but

the sentiment for Johnson IL sincere
and enthusiastic. The best they really
hope, however. Is that the ticket will
be Hughes and Jot son.

BALTIMORE. Nov. 25.-Richard II. Ed

lleves preparedness is an impossibility
under existing steel and iron conditions
Mr.. Edmonds's statement that In case OF
war. II the ore fields Of Lake Superior
were captured and imports Of ore cut on.
there would be a collapse In the iron and
steel production in the United states.
called forth letters from President Will
con and Theodore Roosevelt.
These statistics were cited by Mr.. Ed
monds to prove his contention
o the total production Of iron ore in
che United states in 1913 Chat year be-
ting selected In preference TO 1914 be-
cause business was then at a more nor
NAL stage thar after the war; OF ST.
$50. 900 tons, a little more than $780,
