FAIRBANKS LOOMS UP
FOR c. 0.P. NOMINATION
Many Arguments Advanced in
Favor of Indiana Mans
Selection.

Former Vice President Charles w.
Fairbanks OF Indiana is beginning to
loom I'D for the republican presidential
nomination, according to a number or
republicans who will be delegates in
the convention and who have been Wis
ting Washington within the last few
days.
The arguments in his behalf are nu-
merous. according to these delegates
He ought not be Objectionable 10 Col.
Roosevelt: although a conservative by
disposition. he is progressive IN ms
views: he knows the tariff better than
the majority of the republicans talked
of for the nomination.: he is faVoflte
among the real workers of the party.

money before and at election time; he
is a good speaker and an able man; he
vonld aid materially in healing the
factionaI differences.
Col Michael Dady of Brooklyn. one
Of the delegates to the coming national
convention, is sample of those who
are now looking toward Fairbanks.
Col. Dady intimated that there are
others among the New York delegates
who NAV find Fairbanks so acceptable
that they will turn to him after few
COMPLIMENTARY ballots have been cast.
Represents Old Guard View.
Col. Dady represents, of course. the
old guard view of the party, and his
veering to Fairbanks at a time when
Roosevelt, Root and Hughes. all from
his own state. are to be voted FOR in
the convention. is considered as very
sipnificant He is fond of Root, but
feeIs that the ex-senator cannot be
elected and the old guard wants
winner
Two delegates to the convention Of
loo TNriy fnlN fnr
Fairbanks, but insisting that their names
be withheld also want a winner, they
said, and they do not know who else
would meet their requirements. They de-
clared that Mr. Fairbanks has kept out
of the party rows of the last few years:
has not spoken harshly of any man, but
has hewed To the line of republican poll
cies and traditions.
Co-operated With Roosevelt.
It is admitted by old guard and pro-
eressive delegates that whoever is nomi-
mated must not be Objectionable to Col.
Roosevelt They do not understand how
Col. Roosevelt could find fault with Fair
banks, who as Vice President. co-operat-
ed four years with Roosevelt in the
White House. Mr.. Fairbanks, 1t Is re-
called. was uniformly courteous and
thoughtful to Mr.. Roosevelt as President
and did nothing that the latter could
criticise.
AS far as he could possibly do so as
Vice President he co-operated with Col.
Roosevelt. Neither ever gave an eNhi-
bition of particular love for the other.
but each preserved dignified co-opera-
ton with the other.
In half dozen delegations from the
big republican states of the country it
has become known there is latent
strength for Fairbanks Former Gov,
FRANKLIN Murphy of New Jersey, a
delegate to the convention. Is an ex-
ample. He may vote for Root on the
first ballot. but after that Is for Fair
hanks If there is chance for the
nomination of the Indiana man.

WHERE COUNTY AGENTS PAY

On some farms there are absolute
ly no returns for the labor of the
owners of the farms. Such farms are
said to have a minus labor income.
OF course they are able to operate
even on this basis because of the in
vestment which is paying its per
cent.
In an Ohio county where some
facts were collected, 1t was found
that of the 40 farms in the county
having minus labor income, only
eight of them had made use of the
county agent OF the 25 farms hav-
ing a labor income of over $1,000
each year, 21 had used the county
bureau and it's agent.
Is II safe to say that county agents
pay where they are used Farm
