more than three-fourths OF the volume
of milk. The water supply, therefore.

attention. Stale or impure water ia
distasteful TO the COW and she will
not drink enough for maximum milk
production. Such water may also car

How the Proqressives Will Vote

The vote by which the national progressive com mittee on Monday endorsed the candidacy of MT. Hughes is probably representative of the sentiment of the progressive party of the progressive voters of 1912 with respect MT. Hughes Thirty members the final favored endorsement. Six opposed it. And probably they represent the section of the party which prefers Wilson Hughes Nine mem- bers of the committee did not vote. The silence of those nine of course, affords indication of their attitude toward Hughes and Wilson They desired third party and that having been negative ly disposed of, they felt interest in the question of endorsement. Some of them will support Hughes or less actively, while others may be expected to support Wilson.
 It has been estimated that of the more than 4,OOO 900 votes for Colonel Roosevelt in 1912 from 5OO,O0O to 1OO0OO0 the votes of former demo- crats While democrats in all parts of the country supported Colonel Roosevelt some because of their admiration for him. and some because of the prin- cipes for which he stood the greater the overwhem ing part of the democratic accession to progress sive party southern states. But for the third party movement this strength would have gone to Mir. Wilson, whom it may be expected to go this year, only making the certain majorities in the southern states larger than they four years ago and adding by much to the popular vote of the democratic candidate, without contributing in any
 
 The democrat -progressives of the north also may be expected a rule. the democratic ticket this year. that is those democrats who have regarded the progressive party as more important than the leadership of it. But there many democrat pro- sressves who, who. attracted to the third party by the personality of Colonel Roosevelt will follow him into his support of Mr. Hughes for he has made it clear that he is not abandoning progressivism Americanism in his support of MT. Hughes.
 But the number of democrat -progressives in the republican debatable states of the north who will return to the democratic party will be much than balanced by the number of republicans who four years ago, hopeless of MT. Taft voted Mir Wilson to prevent the carrying of their states by Colonel Roosevelt
 In the dispatches of yesterday it appeared that Raymond Robins who was chairman of the national progressive convention, and Colonel John M. Parker of Louisiana indicated that they would support Mir progressive. Colonel Parker for many years was a democratic force in the south but became dissat- isfied with conditions that had came to prevail there and had hoped that the progressive movement might develop party which could at least contest with democracy for supremacy in the south. Immediately after the adjournment of the progressive national convention followed by the tentative declnation of Colonel Roosevelt, many of the southern delegates on their return expressed a purpose return to their party.
 But the great bulk of the progressive strength in the north the only section of the country where is would count will be found supporting MT Hughes

"one Hundred Per Cent American"

There Is nothing equivocal in the telegrams sent by Charles E. Hughes to Colonel Roosevelt and to the national progressive committee on Monday The colonel with his remarkable gift of pain vigorous language, could not have given a more forceful ex- pression of his views the subject of Americanism as well the fatuousness of the administration and the other foremost subjects which will come before the people this year.
 An Americanism that is 100 per cent pure" and that is the kind demanded by MT. Hughes leaves room for any hyphenaed constituent element Only "an undivided, unwavering loyalty to country" only "a wholehearted, patriotic devotion overriding all racial differences will be tolerated
 The weakness and ncertude" of the present ad- minsLration has fostered the designs of unAmerican and nti-American elements in country for almost two In spite of the presidents sympathy with England in the representatives of the Teutonic allies have been permitted activity that would not have been attempted under a strong American gov ernment. Likewise there has been almost open re- crulting for the British army American cities: ad- yertisements for recruits have been permitted to be printed in American newspapers There have been sporadic efforts by government to interfere with these activities of representatives of both sides only when they became open and notorious
 By it's hesitation and weakness the government has violated it's obligations under international law to the beligerents of both sides and has thereby weakened it's nsstence. if been insistent upon the observance of American rights by the beligerents The administration has not presented itself before the international court with clean hands
