NEIL WANTS q. o. P. PLATFORM
TO BACK MOTHERS PENSIONS
The old guard today made its first
definite offer to the Progressives. It
feels that it can nominate any man
it wants, but it wants. a standard
bearer whom it thinks could win next
November. Therefore dts preliminary
feeler to PrCgTessives was to see
whether agreement could not be
reached whereby Justice Hughes
would be the candidate, running on
any sort Of a platform the Progress
sives want.
Hughes would not ordinarily be
the favOTite Of the old guard, but it
feels that others whom it would pre-
fer are not strong enough to put up
the best fight against Wilson. Feel
ing among the old line Republicans
is that Hughes would show the Re-
publican national political machine
less consideration than even ROOse-
welt would, but the feeling is that
Roosevelt or Hughes are the only
ones who can beat Wilson.
While the standpatters are trying
to jam Hughes down Threats of the
PTogs, the ROoseveItans have made
counter attack by promising a third
party fight If regulars don't nOmi-
nate a man Of progressive ideas.
Judge Henry Neil, Oak Park,
father Of mothers pension law in Il
InOis, today said he will try to have
the Republican platform indOrse

FavOrite son HeUtenants are puz-
zled to figure out where they stand.
They are hopeful that the Roosevelt
Hughes scrap will ruin the chances
for nomination of both the colonel
and the justice. But at the same
time, most of them, being seasoned
politicians, have sought some way of
landing a soft spot if Hughes finally

Carried Pistol for Walk Through Woods;

Beets produced totaIed 6.511 thousand tons, the farm value of which was 37 mil lion dollars, compared with 5,585 thousand tons the previous year, val ued at 30 million dollars. Total su- gar produced, including cane, was 1,- Oil thousand short tons last year compared with 965 thousand tons in 1914. This does not take into account a small amount of cane produced in Texas and Arizona. We imported 3,O9O thousand short tons of sugar last year compared with 3,419 thousand tons in 1914.
 Steadily increasing gold production, tremendous increases in our exports and the rapid growth in domestic bus mess have together served to bring aboNt abnormal level of commo- dity prices. Some decline in cOmmo dity prices is inevitable and will nat uraIIy be felt first in the raw mate rials. Lower prices may not reach the consumer to any extent for some months to come.
 It is we'll for us to realize now that the business gain which we have wit messed each month for more than year cannot continue indefinitely. If we can remain near our present level in commercial trapsactions for a few months, nothing better could be de- sired.
