ROOSEVELT MAY HELP TO
ELECT DEMOCRAT--HILLES
Colonel Likely to Run If Republicans
Nominate Man Who He Thinks
Is Misfortune.

Chicago, May 29.-In speaking of
the probable action of the progressive
national convention called to be held
June in Chicago simultaneously with
the Republican national convention,
Chairman Hilles said:
Il imagine everybody assumes that
the Progressives will nominate Roose-
welt for president. If the Republican
convention adopts straightforward,
sincere, ringing declaration on the vi
tai public questions now being dis
cussed and dominates man clearly
equal to the important tasks which
will confront the next president, Roos-
evelt might not think there would be
any need of his entering the field. But
if the Republicans nominate man
who Mr.. Roosevelt thinks is misfor-
tune and adopts platform which he
regards as bunk he may feel SO out
ragged as to run and perhaps help re-
elect President Wilson,

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM TO
BE BRIEF, HILLES PREDICTS

ism, Preparedness, Protective Tariff
and Merchant Marine.

Chicago, May 29.-Chairman Charles
D. Hilles of the Republican national
committee has expressed the opinion
that the platform which will be adopt
ed by the national convention next
month will be unusually brief and will

questions. From information obtained
in talking with party leaders on the
subject he believes the principal plank
in the platform viii. iTclude:
A statement on Americanism.
A statement on preparedness for
adequate military and naval defense.
A declaration in favor of a protec-
tive tariff to be prepared by a nonparti-
san tariff commission created by Con-
gress with special attention to the
needs of the industries of this coun-
try after the close of the European
war
A declaration in favor of a merchant
marine.
A statement dealing with the al
legged shortcomings of the Democratic

NEWSPAPER POLL SHOWS
SENTIMENT FOR COLONEL
Huqhes Runs Second to Roosevelt in
Eleven Out of Seventeen
Primaries.

New York, May 29.-Of II newspa-
pers in widely separated parts of the
United States conducting presidential
primaries II have reported results
showing an overwhelming sentiment
for Theodore Roosevelt as the Republi-
can nominee. In most instances,
though not all, it was Charles Evans
Hughes who ran second to the colonel,
while in the polls Of four upstate
New York papers and of one In Kan
sas and one in Missouri, he led ROose-
Welt. OF the total number of votes
cast in these IL newspaper primaries,
Colonel Roosevelt got 1851 and JUS
tice Hughes 1893. No other candi-
date showed any considerable strength
the polls seeming to establish it as
the sentiment of the country east and
west that the fight at Chicago must
lie between these two leaders. No
where did Roosevelt go down before a
favorite son, while Hughes did in
three instances.

He spoke at dinner of the League

The President gave an intimation
that he is making an informal effort

The President disclosed that the
United States will not attempt to

ing that it is in no degree party to
the present quarrel.
1t will, however, endeavor to bring
about the establishment of an inter
national league to preserve peace and
maintain the rights of all nations. The
United States is willing to become a
partner in such an association of ma

CARRYING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in hlgnly
dourishing condition and is bound III
very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
great demand for that article, ana
it's use abroad has given it a lot OF
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who, having used it, is quick to ap-
preciate it's value. This means that
after the war there will be a demand
created for it that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth it is hoped
that this will be met. AS matter or
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect of an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
eddy be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
| feed and the cool nights. two things
essential, and in time it is bound to
become one of the finest cheese coun-
tries of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
| for no purpose, will in time produce
| cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
| lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
| keeping of milk and cream and
| cheese, and that is a great thing Tor
the industry, especially when com
bined with possibilities of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
| the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming, Is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized. make this industry very prof
| table,
One of the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler is the likelihood Of suitable
markets. In this connection the fol.
lowing table will be Illuminating. 1t
is supplied by the P. Burns company
packers and exporters, of Calgary, and
shows the average monthly price paid
for hogs for the six years 1910 to 1915
inclusive. When one considers the low
initial cost of the land and the small
| overhead cost of maintenance and
feed, these prices challenge compari-
son.

FRENCH AGAIN IN CUM|ERES
RECAPTURE PART OF VILLAGE

Austrians Take Entire Mountain Ridge
From italians in Bitter Struggle

London, May 29.-The tide of battle
at Verdun has again turned In favor

A farmer Of Monarch, Alberta.
claims the distinction Of being the first
in the province to sell a carload or
hogs at the high price of eleven cents
a pound live weight. The sale was
made a short time ago at Calgary, and
at that time was record, although
prices have since gone as high as
$11.12h per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
lis farm produces, as there is prac-
tically no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh. The
uncertainty Of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor
able conditions is removed when the
settler goes in for raising hogs, beer
and dairy products. With Western

Eiuhty-Four United States Citizens
Lay Case Before Wilson-Assert
Right to Protection-WilI Not
Comply With Confisca-
tory Orders.

Washington, May 20. = On the eve
of the receipt of General Carranza's
new note, which officials believe will
renew the demand for withdrawal Of
American troops from Mexico, and
with another conference between
American and Mexican military COM
manders about to begin, a protest was
received at the White House report
ing serious difficulties between Ameri-
can oil operators at Tampico and the
Mexican authorities.
Eighty-four Sign Protest.
The protest came in the form of a
telegram addressed to President Viii.
son by "a American citizens residing
at Tampico, who had held mass
case before the government. They
declared the Mexican military officials
we're promulgating DEGREES designed to
make it impossible for Americans to
do business in the country and told
how one Of their number had been ar
rested and imprisoned for three hours,
because he refused to pay his en-
ployes wages fixed by the authorities
in excess Of terms previously agreed
upon with the men.
Claim Right to Protection.
The signers of the message assert
ed their right to protection from the
American government and announced
their determination not to comply
with arbitrary and confscatory orders
and DEGREES by the Mexicans.
White House officials sent the pro-
test to the State Department for in
vestigation. Other complaints already
have been received regarding recent
DEGREES by the CarranZa government,
and it is probable there will be repre-
sensations on the subject just as soon
as the controversy over the presence
Of American troops in Mexico is adj
justed.

cIares "He is a Very
iii Man."

st. Paul, May 29.-The condition Of
James J. Hill, who has been i'll since
May II at his home in st. Paul, is re-
ported to be extremely critical.
The last official report by attending
physicians was issued at $3.50 p. M,
Sunday night, when Doctors Herman
N. Biggs and J. S. Gilfillan issued a
signed statement in which they said
"Mr. Hills condition this evening is
less favorable. His strength is fail
ing somewhat, on account Of his age,
and the outlook becomes extremely
serious
CONDITION Is Very Bad"
The last official statement from
members of the family was made
shortly after midnight by Louis w.
Hill. This was made as Mr.. and Mrs.
Hill were going from the sickbed to
their own home adjoining. 1t was the
first admission Louis W. Hill has made
of a conviction that his fathers con-
dition is serious. He said, There
has not been much change in my ia
theirs condition tonight. His condi-
I1Ou Is very Ddu.
Second Relapse Noticeable.
Mr.. Hill passed through an extreme
ly critical day. He had suffered a
marked relapse about noon. Two
hours later he rallied and was much
better until about p. m. At that hour
another relapse became noticeable and
from that time on reports were of a
gradual decline in his condition.
The two doctors who issued the last
official bulletin remained at the bed
side of their patient.
Breaking Under Strain.
Mr. Hills age was held to be the
greatest factor against his possible re-
cOvery, and, although he had shown
remarkable vitality at times during
the day, he appeared to be breaking
rapidly under the strain Of attempting
to throw off the illness from which he
is suffering.
When DR.. w. J. Mayo left the Hill
residence he said to inquirers, he is
q very i'll man and conditions are not
as hopeful as earlier in the day"
This statement, with others by at
tending physicians, formed the basis
for entertainment of fears that the
end might be near 1t was reported
that the poisonous infection had spread
past Mr.. Hills knees and was slowly
creeping toward his feet.
