ELIMINATES 7. R.
Republican Chairman Believes
Roosevelt Won't Run.
Hughes Said He Wouldn't, but
May Change His Mind.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-Charles d. Hilles,
chairman of the Republican National
committee before leaving for New
York today after attending the session
of the subcommittee on arrangements
for the party national convention in
June. discussed the possible candidacy
of Col. Roosevelt and Justice Hughes
and urged for the adoption of uniform
national primary election laws by all
the states.
In speaking of Col. Roosevelt,
Chairman H1lles said:
All the information, l have on the
subject is that Col. Roosevelt is not
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for president. He has declined
to permit his name to go on the pri-
mary ballot in the only three states
where it has been ggested-Minne-
sofa, Nebraska and Michigan. That
indicates that he is not a candidate.
In the statement issued by Chair
man Perkins and the Progressive ma
tional committee, it was made plain
that any reasonably satisfactory man
would be acceptable as the Republican
nominee. l think we viii be able to
nominate a man who will be salts
factory to all elements of the party
and that our candidate will be elected.
Predicts Harmony.
{ I'm regard to Justice Hughes. no
one KNOWS just what MS attitude Is
today toward the presidency. In dis
cussing the subject with a friend in
1912, Justice Hughes said when he
went on the United States supreme
court bench he took the veil and re-
nounced the world But there is no
man big enough to refuse the presi-
dency, in my opinion. We have Il
number of able men in our party for
candidates and 1 think the candidate
will be born in the convention"
Chairman Hilles called attention to
the conflicting provision of the direct
presidential primary laws of the diff
ferent states and expressed the opin-
ion these would result in much uncer-
tainty and confusion. There will be
9S5 delegates at the next Republican
national convention and of this num-
Der sos or about 81 per cent will be
chosen by direct primary. In 1912
about 25 per cent of the delegates
were elected by direct primary.
There is urgent need for uniform
presidential primaries in all the states
in my opinion" said Chairman Hilles.

longed rise in prices. Concerning the
universal prosperity of this country. it
is unnecessary to repeat familiar facts.
Such of the regular industrials as are
in the way of securing war contracts,
continue making large profits and
speculation in these shows consider
able activity. The railroad situation
is steadily improving in various re-
spects, and the freight embargo is in
a fair way of being broken. Forty-six
re ads reported earnings of $S4.0O0.000
in December, an increase of 100000
900 over last year. The disposition to
afford the railroads fair play on the
part of the public appears to be in
creasing, and this fact in connection
with improved net earnings has ma
terially stimulated the demand for bet
ter class railroad shares and greatly
facilitated new financing. For nearly
all high grade securities, especially
bonds, there has been a good invest
ment demand, and new home issues
of a desirable character have been
readily taken, Notwithstanding the
large influx of securities from abroad.
1t cannot be too often borne in mind
that our present prosperity is vastly
more due to a rich harvest and good
prices than to war orders. Our total
merchandise exports for 1915 were
about $9,5OO,0OO, 900. If one-third of
this amount represented munition
contracts which is a liberal estimate,
it can lie seen that the bulk is small
compared with the total domestic
trade of the country. Our crops were
valued at over 10000, our
railroads rank next to agriculture in
Importance our industrial plants and
commercial and financial institutions
also run into enoromus figures in their
transactions, so that it is evident we
can easily overestimate the Importance
of war contracts, which acted more
as stimulants than as permanent
building operations"

BUSINESS CONTINUES GOOD.

THE statement of stock exchange
activity, so noticeable in December,
has continued thus far throughout
January" writes Henry Clews, the
New York banker. in his weekly
financial review under date of jan
uary %. 1.-The principal reasons were
two-fold: first, the wise restraint upon
speculation imposed by bankers in or
der to avoid dangerous initiation, and,
second, the continued influx of Sc
curities from abroad which fully taxed
our absorbing powers. Hesita-
ton in the stock market was further
encouraged by threatened difficulties
with Mexico and the fear of prolonga-
ton of the war, and some disturbing
discussion may also be precipitated
should England declare a blockade.
Another factor which pre-
vents full revival of confidence is the
uncertainty of congress in regard to
Mexico, preparedness. public revenue.
shipping and other legislation. So far.
however it must be acknowledged that
congress has kept remarkably cool,
considering the intensity of present
day problems; and up to the present
time the administration has expe-
rienced little embarrassment from con-
gressional opposition. General
business continues fairly active and
