VOTES OF WOMEN
Are Unable to Find Out How
They Will Be Cast.
DEMOCRATIC DRIVE IS ON
BY N. o. MESSENGER.

CHICAGO, October 11.-Just about
this time it seems that 'the hand that
rocks the cradle" is the hand that is
rocking the political boat in this re-
gion. The politicians hereabouts are
all stirred up over the woman'S vote in
Illinois and the suffrage states of the
west.
The trouble is they cannot figure
how the lady is going to vote. Some
say she will vote as her pa or her hus-
band or her big buddy will vote. while
others contend that she will vote ac-
cording to her own sweet will. Those
who take the latter view insist that in
such event she will vote for Wilson be-
cause he kept us out of war. And that
suggestion gives the republicans the
cold shivers, because they know that if
such is her intention there is no use to
argue with her, since it is 2 question of
sentiment.
The Illinois politicians are up in the
air over the Women's vote to a degree
almost pathetic. They don't know what
1T may mean, because they have never
had such an uncertain quantity to deal
with heretofore. Hitherto they could
place Tom, Dick and Harry somehow
and get q line on them, whetheH they
We're for or against them. But here
come several hundred thousand voters
that they can't reach at all.

Let me tell you another thing about
our friend Hughes. You know there's

to those pale-faced chiliren a rate of

to return, that they might take d
respite from the blisterinS street out
where the cool sea breeZes might fan
their pale and wasting cheeks.
And Mr.. Hughes, as the Governor of
New York, vetoed that just bill, and
the poor children of New York, if they

MARKED ADVANCE IN THE WHEAT MARKET
Black Rust Reports From North Dakota Bring Big
 Rises in Quotations

Chicago, July S.-Black rust reports from Ypslanti, N. D., brought about a sensational advance today in the price of wheat. The rise from the lowest quo tations of the session amounted to cents a bushel The close, however, was unset tied at gains of 27s@3c to 31sc net, with July at $106h and September at $1G9@ 1G9B. Corn finished HQKc up, oats un- changed to 7sc higher, and provisions varying from same as yesterdays finish to a rise of 20c.
 Notwithstanding that according to high authority it was doubtful whether the wheat plant in North Dakota could be far enough advanced to show black rust, the assertion that the dread infection had been found led instanter to an upward rush in values. At first little attention was paid to opinions that more likely place for the discovery of the rust would be in the northern part of the spring crop region. Before the end of the day. though, conservative views were given heed and good deal of reaction in prices took place, especially as some advices referred to the evil as not rust, but in- stead black smut.
 Prior to the alarming news from North Dakota indicating the possibility of huge damage to the spring crop, wheat prices had swung within comparatively narrow limits, and seemed during the early part of the day to act on the whole in favor of the bears.
 Indeed the ruling influence was re- port that the surplus moisture in the northwest was disappearing fast and that prospects there were encouraging for a big yield. Besides the bearish effects of the government crop report continued in evidence. On the other hand, word of lib- eral export sales helped give force to the subsequent sharp upturn in the mar ket.
 Corn bulged when wheat turned strong. Previously, the market was weak owing to the bearish government figures and as a result of ideal weather Oats reflected the course of other cereals. Scattering reports of rust continued and stocks in store showed big decrease for the week.
 Higher prices hogs carried provi- sions upgrade. Selling, which widened out on the advance, appeared to come chiefly from one of the big packers.
