Minneapolis. Jan. S.-Developments
in Michigan and in the east within the
next few days will determine whether
a petition to place Theodore Roose-
velt's name on the republican ballot for
president will be filed in Minnesota.
So far in this state supporters Of A..
B. Cummins have the field all to them
selves. since Elihu Root put auietus
on his friends efforts and DR.. Cyrus
Northrop declined to allow the use oe
his name In getting harmony" dele
cation. -.-,2
Men who were for Root face the
necessity of joining the Cummins
movement or starting a new one, and
the swing toward Roosevelt lately in
the east has attracted attention. Roose-
veIts name has been filed in Michigan
and so far he has not forbade its use
there.
A. A D. Rain. who conferred re-
Gently with Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay, said today that if no other solu-
ton appears before the time for fl
ing closes. Roosevelt's name is very
likely to be filed in this state.
The feeling now in the east is that
Hughes and Roosevelt are the only
men that can be elected said Mr..
Rain. "If Hughes makes it plain that
he would not accept the nomination
there may be a general turning to
Roosevelt"
The Cummins men are beginning to
make campaign plans and talk of a
delegate ticket. The name of former
Governor s. r. Van SAINT was sug-
gested as a possible CumninS candi

SELLING POOR SEED CORN
Spectators oisposina Of Low Grade Of
1914 Grain to Farmers Of Northern
p iows-conmission.S ssEsy Issues
Warning. "

Des Moines, Jan. s.-Speculators In
seed corn have begun operations on a
large scale in the northern part Of the
state according to information brought
to the attention Of w. 3. Barney. dairy
land food commissioner. He declares
that grain operators are going thru the
country buying UP the available sup
ply of 1914 corn and selling it for-seed
at a handsome profit. without testing
to see that it will terminate. ..s
There is some danger that the
farmers Of the northern part OF the
state will not get good seed corn to
plant in the spring." said Mr.. Barney.
Most of the 1915 corn is hardly suited
for planting. Spectators who know
this have been buying up the cribs Of
1914 corn expecting to sell it for seed.
without testing it to see that it Will
terminate.
For this reason there will be a large
amount of so-called seed corn on the
market in the spring which will be
worthless. s.. --
LAS a rule, the men who are specu-
lating are not in the seed business.
Still there are few seed men who
realize there will be big profit in
seed corn and who are buying up
everything they can get without ref
erence to it's quality. $751;.
Farmers should not buy corn which
| is sold only on a ten-day test. Tho
| is not long enough for a thorough ties:
to be made"
According to reports from the north
ern counties. some of the seed corn
which went SO per cent on the pre-
| liminary tests, is running s. to 10 per
cent in termination on the final tests.
Experts in Pocahontas county, for in
stance, reported that this Is due to the
| fact that the corn was affected by the
severe weather. especially that which
was on the outside in the cribs.
These men are advising farmers t.
purchase seed corn from their own
county and to be careful of imported
seed, regardless Of how high It
proves on tests.
| Mr.. Barney also advises the farmers
in buying seed corn, to require the firm
making the sale. to pay the freight to
destination ..rfa

!. GATHERED BY THE WAYsIDE

!, number of Ohio newspapers plus . few
from scattered newspapers elsewhere,
in each instance the newspaper being
Of such character as would easily ex-
plain why the preference for Burton.
So far as the encomiums of the Ohio
ex-senator by the Ohio newspapers Is
concerned they are all exactly such ex-
pressions as almost any United States
senator might get from his home news
papers. They are very flattering. They
all show that the boys who do things
at home appreciate very well what
great advantage there Is to any state
in having the president from that state.
The Weeks literature has chiefly been
a pamphlet describing his good quail
titles. BY the way there has been
printed and distributed the speech Sen
ator Borah made in Washington re-
Gently at republican conference.
All eyes are now on Minnesota and
unless signs fail the whole country viii
soon be watching to see what the North
Star state, does with regard to canh-
date for the republican nomination for
president. The situation certainly has
shaped itself very well for .Cummins.
Apparently it was to be a square fight
to a finish between those. who want
the Cummins kind of a candidate or
those who want a radical eastern man
of the Root type. Burton and Weeks
was just the man. And the campaign
was started with Root. Then he pulled
out. It would naturally look to the dis
interested spectator that Roots friends
must have realized the danger Of de-
he ~ t,1ft
to his campaign thru such defeat, hence
they declined the challenge. The very
fact OF Root being withdrawn after the
stage had been set for him must be
regarded elsewhere as significant The
element then sought to
save themselves by the old familiar
expedient Of favorite son. But Presi-
dent Northrup was plainly told that If
he got delegation for himself 1t would
have to be at the end of q hard fight,
that the Cunlmins people were going to
have Cummins delegation anyway If
they could get 1t. and that the fayorite
son method Of heading off the Cum
Minis movement would not get any
where. Hence Northrup declined TO be
made the goat An effort to use Hughes
or some other outside man may be
made But II IS almost certain that
Cummins will receive Endorsement in
Minnesota, and 1t follows of course that
the Dakotas will be in line for him.
There Is increasing evidence that In
Washington and the east there is rec
ognition of the fact that this sort OF
a start for the Cummins movement
means a great deal.
The Iowa republicans are making a
spirited campaign for Cummins, not as
a tavorite son, for that he is not. but
for one who represents right ideals in
a republican government and who be-
cause of what he has done and what he
is. can win. But II they had the funds
with which To do business, as have
practically all the other candidates,
there would be hundred fold greater
activity all along the line. ~, q ~

DeS MoineS, Jan. 8.-The literaturo
OF presidential preliminaries Is Begin
ming to show up and some of it IS IN
teresting. For instance, here Is Sem
ator Lawrence Sherman, Of Illinois,
putting out an interesting pamphlet
with which Iowa is being bombarded.
with view to getting Iowa support for
! the Illinois man here. Mr.. Sherman is
a progressive, no doubt of it, and has
stood Loyalty with those who were urg
ing certain definite reforms and adj
vances in governmental affairs. The
keystone article In his campaign book
is one in which Sherman is being put
forward, however, as the man to save
the party from going to progressive.
Il is pointed cut .hs: e the talk bout
Roosevelt and his followers returning
to the republican party there has been;
nothing said about their returning to,
Judge Taft or being willing to line UP,
under his leadership" and on the other
hand, Should pronounced progress
i've, representing radical experiments In
governmental policies, be placed in
nomination there is every reason to
support him even at the cost of elect
ing a democratic president And so
Sherman IL put forth as a mild pro-
gressive." But he was a Roosevelt
delegate to the republican national con-
vention in 1912. He is further de-
scribed as "a safe and sane progress
sive." All of this might suggest that
Sherman is toE.be put forward as ono
not sufficiently conservative to alarm
the progressive and not sufficiently
progressive to worry the conservatives
in other words, between the lines and
not adopting the program of anybody.
The literature he is sending out does
not fully bear this Interpretation, for
elsewhere it is shown he is and has been
decidedly radical on lot of things and
is N fact such a man as would hardly
consent to be a non commital and pas
sive president 1t may also be said |
that the literature Is all from Illinois
newspapers and represents largely the |
local phases of the, political campaign. |
1t is worth while noting that the
Sherman people include in their litera-
ture a news article from the Chicago
Journal which tells of the fact that one
William Wrigley, Jr., described as ''one
OF the financial mainstays of the
Roosevelt. campaign of 1912" has come
out as a candidate for delegate to the
republican national convention from
the ninth congressional district and
will be, if made a delegate, for Sher- |

cause.
