POPULAR HUGHES CAMPAIGN
FUND

The plan adopted by Cornelius n.
Bliss, Jr., treasurer of the Republican
National Committee. to raise money
for the campaign and increase the
force of active workers for the cleo
ton of Charles Evans Hughes to the
presidency has peculiar merit. Mr..
Bliss asks every one who favors the
election OF Mr.. Hughes and wishes him
to have the support of Republican
Senate and House to contribute $40
and become sustaining member of
the Republican party. All such will
receive a certificate of membership
That the money will prove good in
Testment is patent. 1t Will help to Sc
cure for the country d more efficient
administration of our national affairs
which is necessary if the prosperity
and influence of the nation is to con-
tinue
There are at least 100000 Repub-
licans. but how many of them have
any evidence they are. beyond the con-
sciousness that they have voted or
will vote the Republican ticket? The
work is done by a few and the money
ordinarily is provided by fewer Mr..
bliss plan offers cure for that con-
GitiOn. Help the cause and get GER
titicate of membership that will estab-
fish your party utilization. 1t is not
expected that all the 100000 Repub-
leans will give $40 each, but if
goodly number who can afford it do
so there will be a great many more
able To give much more than $40 next
time because Republican success will
mean to the country in fullest measure
preparedness, protection and perma-
nent prosperity.
Mr.. Hughes is seeing how big the
West is, and the West is seeing how
big Mr.. Hughes is. 1t is a happy ar
rangement.
Friends of Wilson are still trying
to explain what he meant by too
proud to fight" But can they tell US
what he meant by strict accountable
ity?"
Eminent judges" says Colonel Hen
ry Watterson have ever proved dis
appointing candidates. He is right.
Alton b. Parker was big disappont-
ment to the Democrats. And so is
Charles Evans Hughes.-Toledo Blade.
President Wilson appears to have
n 10
of accepting several invitations to
make speeches in the West. Nobody
knows any better than he that it will
take considerable shoveling to fill up
the holes that have been dug in that
locality by Justice Hughes.
1t was John p. ST. John of Kansas,
one time Prohbitionist candidate for
president of the United States, who
said that Americans vote as they
cheer. If so, there is mighty little
consolation for the Democratic party
in this campaign, for the Democratic
Administration in three years has Civ
en- us nothing to cheer over. On the
contrary, as Mr.. Hughes has said,
these last three years have been years
of humiliation and embarrassment.
Mr.. Wilson says his mind is pro-
gresSive, but those who try to follow
it's progress can never tell the direc
ton it is taking 1t is just as likely
to be progressing backward as for

/; CHICAGO, May 24.-Renewal of
crop damage reports from the South.

In the price OF wheat after an early
setback. The market closed steady at
S1.09b for July and S1.09B9l.10 for
September, with the range as a whole
F1sc off to sc up. compared with yes.
terday's finish. In corn the outcome
was gain of h@9sc to 1sc and oats
sssc decline to like advance. Provis.
ions closed unchanged to 30c down.
Corn rallied with wheat. The mar.
ket was bullishly Influenced, too, by
the scantiness of receipts here and
elsewhere and by Illinois reports that
much replanting had been found neces
sary. Oats prices averagdl lower as
result OF favorable crop ports from
the largest producing States. Besides,
available supplies showed an increase
OF more than 100000 bushels.
