A LARGE CROP
Predictions Made That the Tobacco
Crop Next Year VIII BE IA
Bumper One On Account
OF Big Shortage This
Season.

The Burley tobacco crop as shown
by this sales this season throughout
the country, fell off many million
pounds, due to the 1915 crop curing
up light in weight, the shortage in
pounds being noticeable In Eastern
Kentucky, Southern West Virginia and
Southern Ohio, where there was a biz
shortage over last year.
Including the closing sale here las;
week, this market had sold l6,545,675
pounds, a falling off OF about 7,OOO,-
900 pounds from last season, but the
prices were higher than last year, the
average of the market being Sl1.2l,
which will not be reduced very much
by the closing of the market later on,
With these facts before the growers
of this territory, coupled with the
statement that there will be none pro-
duced in the foreign countries, have
made them feel like a much larger
crop the coming year should be put in
and to that end it is predicted that all
available space will raise tobacco, as
IL is thought next seasons prices wiz
be much higher than this seasons.

BACON ADMITS HIS DEFEAT BY CALDER
Roosevelt Protege Promises to ' Take Stump for Hughes

New York, Sept. 22.-William M. Calder won the republican nomination for United States senator over Rob- 6rt Bacon in Tuesdays primary by be- tween 5000 and 5000 votes
 MT. Bacon himself admits that he has lost, although he says he feels gratiaed at the showing he has made All talk of possible court contest or demand for recount ceased when it was seen that the Calder majority would be we'll over 5000. The Bacon adherents promise to give their sup port to the republican ticket. Job E. Hedges, who, conducted Mr. Bacon's campaign, said that only the best feel ing would prevail between the prim- ary rivals from now on.
 Every vote that was cast for MT. Bacon at the primaries" he said, twill De cast for MT. Calder on election day."
 Will Assist Hughes.
 MT. Bacon nodded his agreement with this view and went directly to republican national headuuarters, where he told Chairman Wilcox that he was willing to do all in his power to elect the ticket. MT. Wilcox said he would avail himself of Mr. Bacon's services. It is probable that he de- feated candidate will take the stump both in the city and upstate.
 With the primaries over, both po- liical camps have started their state campaigns. Governor Whitman has already gone on an upstate speaking tour, and Samuel Seabury, democratic nominee for governor, and William F. McCombs, nominee for United States senator, will shortly follw.
 When MT. Bacon was saked to com ment upon his defeat he said:
 "It is a matter of great personal pride to me that was able to come down to the Bronx with such a good showing. Further than that, have nothing to say. Tn fact there is nothing that I can say"
 MT. Calder expressed himself as highly grati1ed at the result He said he was confident that his majority would be between 7,500 and 10000. 1 MT. Calder has Brooklyn to thank for his nomination. He lost only seven election districts there out of a total of 773. Although all figures are not yet available in the fight between l Calder and Batnbridge Colby in the l progressive primary, the indications ] ,are that Calder won.
 Additional returns in the Sea bury [ Whitman contest in the progressive primary for the governor nomination indicate that MT. Whitman's majority

Springfield Ill.,, Sept. 22.-In a speech at the Illinois State Fair yes- terday Senator Reed of Missouri re- piled to the attacks made by Charles E. Hughes upon the administration S legislative achievements. He listed such laws as the eight-hour law, the child labor law, the Workmen's Com pensation act, the farm loan law, and the legislation to prevent financial panics, and demanded whether his au- dience would like to enable MT. Hughes to repeal them.
 MT. Hughes declares in substance
