ALL FOR T. R. THEN
If Hughes Quits, Roosevelt
Stock Goes Skyward.
Justice Is Only Hope Held Out
to "OId Guard,

Chicago, May 24.-Writing from
Washington for the Chicago Tribune,
Arthur Sears Henning says:
The old guard Republicans were
the recipients of much sympathy to-
day and for the first time several of
them were willing to concede they are
entitled to. it. Just when they were
settling down comfortably to the con-
viCtion that the remarka BILE d avelop-
mem of the Hughes boom had put the
qu:etus on Colonel -Roosevelt's anbi-
tiens. along came. a disturbing revival
OF the Roosevelt movement.
Just whe it appeared certain that
only Hughes stood between the old
guard and its hearts desire, the east
err leaders woke up to the fact tn:It
they have a bigger job on their hands
than they had contracted to handle.
What with the delegates who favor
Hughes and the delegates VINO arc
for Roosevelt, openly or secretly. an
overwhelming majority of the conven-
ton stands for men the old guard
must eliminate before it gets the nan
it wants.
Old Guard Faces Problem.
The old guard now faces the proba-
bility that if Hughes should withdraw,
Roosevelt stock would take a Skyward
leap, and that if Roosevelt be effect
ually eliminated, the nomination of
Hughes will approach close to GER
tainty.
ond wind the eastern leaders are be-
ginning to look on Hughes as a life
saver, much as they dislike him. With
the Progressive nomination assured,
Roosevelt, it is foreseen. might be a
formidable antagonist should Justice
Hughes suddenly knock the props
from under his own boom.
Hence sundry Republican politicians
of the old school hereabout are hoping
Hughes will stay in the race until
Roosevelt is disposed of, and then, if
the old guard will accept him with APP
pirate relief in escaping Roosevelt but
with misgivings of the future.
Root is the first love of the old
guardsmen. These eastern leaders.
who occasionally venture west of the
Alleghenies. believe that it would be
party suicide to name Root. But
Barnes and his following are insisting
on it.

MAY OPPOSE MALONE
j. H. Legere of Hill City Is Being
Groomed for the Race.

1t is probable that ]. H. Legere of
Hill City will enter the race for the
Republican senatorial nomination in
the Thirty-ninth district. Legere, who
is in Topeka today, stated that he had
been urged to make the race and
would probably make a definite state
ment in a few days.
Thirteen counties comprise the
Thirty-ninth district, which is now
represented in the senate by Senator
James Malone, Democrat. Malone
came to the senate from Rawlins
county An effort to defeat Senator
Malone for reelection will result in
the selection of a strong candidate by
the Republicans. Legere, who is wide
ly known in the district and has
positive following among the Repub-
licans of both factions, has been slated
as a logical man for the race.
Recently c. w. Miller of Hays an
nounced his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination from the Thirty
ninth district. 1t is probable, how
ever that Miller will encounter con-
test in the primaries and the oppoSi-
ton may center on Legere.
The Hill City man is engaged in the
mercantile and grain business and has
been identified with the affairs of the
Sixth district for thirty years. He has
a wide acquaintance and strong per-
sonal following in every county in the
district

Immediately following the game

was announced that he had given the
game to Dashner. However, it was

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkan. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich.
creamy lather. and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
