Impression Grows Veter-
ans Are Pushing Root to
Head Off Hughes.
COLONEL IN "POCKET"
NOW, THEY BELIEVE
Campaign Bosses Make No Sc
cret Of Plan to Corral
Justices Delegates.

Indications were plentiful Yesterday
that the "old guard" was trying TO use
the candidacy OF ex-senator Root to
keep delegates from this and other
states from supporting the nomination
Of Colonel Roosevelt or Justice
Hughes.
Behind the scenes Governor Samuel
Mccall Of Massachusetts, ia the man
most favored for the Presidential nom
nation by the old crowd Of political
mechanics. but they are not tied up to
him. Any other man OF his pArticu-
lar type will be satisfactory to the
"old guardsmen."
John ". Dwight. manager Of the
Root boom. insisted yesterday that the
former Senator was sure-enough can
didate for the Presidential nomination.
despite the statement OF former Ma
tionnl Committeeman Ward Mr.
Dwight said that the headquarters were
opened with the approval Of Mr.. Root
and AZ the request Of the seventy-seven
men who signed the original statement
suggesting Mr.. Root ss candidate for
President.
THE purpose OF these headquar-
ters." SIR. Dwight said. els 20 promote
the nomination % M. Root as a can
didate for President. II Mr.. Root so
desires he can direct the closing of
these headquarters at once"
Batting Hughes Delegates.
Nevertheless il became known yes
terdsy that the "old guard" has turned
its batteries on Justice Hughes, and
is now using the candidacy Of Mr.. Root
to wean from the support of the jus
tice those delegates who were inclined
70 be friendly to has nomination.
The "old guardsmen' believe they
have forced Colonel Roosevelt into a
pocket, and that their next Job is to
place Justice Hughes in the same posi-
ton. always with the reservation that
they will get behind the nomination
Of Mr.. Hughes, if that is the only way
in which they can accomplish the de
feat Of the Colonel.
The work Of corraling Hughes dele
gates has been started in a systematic
way by the emissares Of the "old
guard" Every bit OF influence that can
DE brought 70 bear, every political
trick, is now being used by the old
mechanics to bring Hughes delegates
into the cold guard" camp TO be swung
at the proper moment 20 the nomina-
ton Of the candidate they have decide
upon. There is no secret about II.
These veteran political bosses frankly
tell Of their plans. and they don't seem
TO be the least bit worried as 10 who
knows IT,
Fear Colonel Will Upset Plan.
Although they refuse 70 admit it pub
licly the "old guardsmen" privately are
OF the opinion that Colonel Roosevelt
is apt 10 come along at most any time
and upset their plans. They fear the
Colonel as much as ever. although they
profess 10 believe tina, they will now
be able TO prevent his nomination a.
the Chicago convention.
Despite the statements from Progress
sives who visited Oyster Bay that the
Progressive party would not suppCf'
Mr.. Root should he be nominated for
President, efforts 70 bring about a re
consideration OF this intention were
begun yesterday. J. Sloat Fassett, a

Dust in Mexico Causes More

Water is something the soldiers

days they move under the sweltering
sun, their bodies porting forth sweat
and the winds from all the points OF
the compass heaping upon them the
alNali dust. At night they sleep upon
their blankets, but the dust Sits
through and adds another layer TO
their bodies.
THE blood of the men is stirred to

changes that struggle in the body At
the spring of the year and sores, Dolls
and ulcers appear. The dust now IN
astriugent layers. aggravates the
abrasiOns of the skin and in few days
the man for lack Of water to keep MS
body clean is a disabled creature.
There has been considerable written
about what happened to the feet Of the
infantrymen." continued the hospital
attendant "but no one has written all
the truth. 7 have known some OF the
men TO stumble along for mile after
mile. obsessed with the one thought
of n pool Of cool water in which to
battle their feet and then lie down In
some barren stretch Of sand, worn OUT

continued on with the march.
Now and then there were pools or
spring water, some near Casas Grandes
and some near Namiquipa, but they
could not be used for bathing. OFTEN
the men could not endure to sleep near
each other because Of the odors that
surrounded them.
'If there had been more water and
more cleanliness there would be fewer
patients at Fort Bliss today. The 1T
tie sores became big sores and the big
sores poisoned and pulled down the

FORAGE CROPS BEST
FOR GROWING PIGS
Expert of Kansas Agricultural
College Advocates Type of
Feed to Produce Pork.

Spring pigs fed on good forage
crops will make five times as much
profit as those fed in dry lots accord
ing TO Ray A. Gatewood, instructor
in animal husbandTy in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
THE cost of 100 pounds Of gain on
young pigs with corn at so cents a
bushel and such forage crops as al
falfa, rape, and clover, runs from
S2SS to 1896; with older hogs from
s4.23 to 1871.
"The accredited gain in pork to an
acre of forage varies, depending upon
the crop, the age OF the hog and the
amount of grain fed. An acre OF
sweet clover with corn at so cents and
hogs at SIS a hundred netted $42.07;
rape, $3.50; alfalfa, $3.50; and q
combination of oats, peas and rape,
$64.60.
"Of all forage crops, alfalfa is the
great permanent crop, while rape is
the emergency crop, and green rye the
fall and early spring crop. The ideal
forage crop should show adaptability
to soil and climate, permanency,
palatability, reasonable cost of plant
ing, and good pasture at any time
during the growing season. Alfalfa,
clover and rape have most OF these
qualities"
