"Stop at Church. 4"

The large number of people who now
own automobiles and the growing ten
dency to make use of the car on Sunday
for family touring long distances from
home is seriously affecting the churches
in many places. Many people do not
condemn tourists very severely for TAX
ing fine Sunday for getting out into
the open but the fact remains that the
church at home suffers. Some automo-
bile owners make it the rule to defer
their Sunday rides until after church and
to such motorists the pastor gives thanks.
But 20 those who make il the rule of
the summer to tour all day Sunday is
now suggested the stop at Church" idea.

Gathering at st. Louis for

TO RENOMINATE WILL
SON AND MARSHALL
Interest Centers in Outcome
of Republican and Pro-
gressive Battles

st. Louis, June 1.-THE advance
guard of delegates in scattered groups
from Michigan and Illinois reached st
Louis Saturday night to attend the Dem
ocratie convention to be held there this
week, and their number will be augment
ed to-day by others from all over the
country.
All interest and discussion among the
national committeeman and delegates
centered on the nominations made at
Chicago and what effect they would have
upon the campaign. National Chairman
McCombs said that no matter what slate
had been selected in Chicago by either of
the parties, it would not affect the plan
of the Democrats to renominate Presi-
dent Wilson and Vice President Marshall.
The naming of Wilson and Marshall
after the l002 delegates have adopted a
platform, which in the main has been
sketched by President Wilson, is expect

HUGHES AND
FAIRBANKS
To Lead Republicans in This
Years Fight for the
Presidency
JUSTICE ACCEPTS
AND QUITS COURT
Colonel Roosevelt Says: II
Am Out of Politics." and
Declines Nomination

Theodore Roosevelt, nominated by ac'
clamation by the Progressive national
convention at Chicago Saturday as its
candidate for president, replied Saturday
night with conditional refusal.
Il cannot accept at this time" he said
Il do not know the attitude of the candi-
date of the Republican party toward the
| vital questions OF the day"
Previous to the Progressive nomina-
ton, the Republican national convention
had nominated, on the third ballot Su-
preme Court Justice Charles Evans
Hughes OF New York for president and
former Nice-President Charles Warren
Fairbanks of Indiana for vice president.
The nomination ballot showed this count:
Hughes, 949I5; Roosevelt, 1879; Lodge,
z; DUPONT, 3; LaFollette, 8; Weeks, g..
The nominations were made unanimous.
The Progressiyes nominated for vice
president John NJ. Parker of Louisiana.
Later at Washington Justice Hughes
accepted the nomination, simultaneously
rendering to President Wilson his resig
nation as supreme court judge, which was
at once accepted.
In his statement Of acceptance, Mr..
Hughes said that while he had not de-
sired the nomination, but wished to re,
main on the bench. he recognized that at
this critical period in our national his
tory it is your right to summon
and that it is my paramount duty to re-
spond."
He criticized "the weak and vacillating
course which we have taken with regard
to Mexico" and scored the administra
tons diplomatic intercourse with foreign
nations as "subordinated to a conception
OF partisan requirements" so that this
country presented to the world a hui
initiating spectacle of ineptitude."
Mr.. Roosevelt's provisional declination
to accept the Progressive nomination is
believed by the politically wise to leave
the door aiar, II not wide open, for event
ual withdrawal of the third ticket, in the
event Mr.. Hughes position on what the
feel to be the vital issues OF
the campaign meet their approval. To
this extent. at least, the leaders in both |
parties feel that the efforts at harmony, |
even ii not directly fruitful of result,
may yet be realized.

LOSS OF APPETITE
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla

Loss of appetite is accompanied by
loss of vitality, which is serious.
II is common in the spring because at
this time the blood is impure and impov-
erished and fails to give the digestive
organs what is absolutely necessary for
the proper performance of their func-
tions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reliable
all.the. yearround medicine, is especially
useful in the spring. Get it from your
druggist to-day. BY purifying and en-
riching the blood and giving vitality, Wig
or and tone, it is wonderfully successful
in the treatment of loss of appetite and
the other ailments prevalent at this time.
II is not simply a spring medicine-it is
much more than that-but it is the best
spring medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the rich red
blood the digestive organs need.-Adv

didate OF the Republican party toward

Therefore, If you desire an immediate
decision, ! must decline the nomination.
But if you prefer it, | suggest that my
conditional refusal TO run be placed in
the hands of the Progressive national
committee.
Ii Mr. Hughes statements, when he
makes them, shall satisfy the committee
that it is for the interest OF the country
that he be elected, they can act accord
ingly and treat my refusal as definitely
accepted. If they are not satisfied, they
can SO notify the Progressive party, and
at the same time they can confer with me
and then determine on whatever action
we may severally deem appropriate to
meet the needs of the country.
Theodore Roosevelt
Colonel Roosevelt sent his telegram Of
refusal to the Progressives just before he
had read Justice Hughes statement, Lat
er when asked If he had any comment to
make on the Hughes statement, he re-
piled:
Not a word. Not word. about any

mittee gets together TO determine what
attitude it will assume in regard to Jus.

thing further in regard to the Republican

which Colonel Roosevelt considers the
