The presence of Hughes here did not
enthuse the rank and file of his party. The
business element was satisfied. but the
state organization has appealed urgently
to Roosevelt to include Colorado in his
western tour. He may create antagonisms
in certain quarters. it is admitted but, per
contra, he will put life into an otherwise
pussyfoot campaign. What the leaders
fear just now is an absent vote from the

G. o. P. Tariff Guns Spiked.
Out here the question of tariff protec-
ton is uppermost under ordinary condi-
tons. 1t has been made the paramount
issue on account of the raw material pro-
duction of the Rocky mountain region. 1t
would be so this year. but recent events,
the democratic speakers maintain, have
spiked the republican guns.
Colorado is the chief beet-sugar pro-
ducing state in the Union. Immediately
following the passage of >the Underwood
bill, providing for the withdrawal of the
tariff on raw sugar, beet growers and
manufacturers began preparing for the
wake on the sugar beet industry.
But at the darkest hour came the
European struggle, to be followed by
a striking increase in the price of sug-
ar. For almost two years the industry
has prospered as never before, and the
democratic leaders in Congress recant-
ed and left on the duty of cent a
pound, which is a guaranty so long as
it remains against too keen competition
from abroad.
The same conditions exist respecting
the metals produced in Colorado-Zinc,
lead, tungsten, etc. The original Under
wood measure played havoc with them,
and mining for months was at low
estate, but for more than year it has
been at the apex.
Added to these is the non-partisan
tariff commission from the democratic
party, and it will be admitted that the
republican campaign orators have not
the opportunity they might have looked
for if the war had not created Chi
nese tariff wall about the nation.
Hereabouts, however. there is closer
interest in the Mexican imbroglio than
in most places. due to the number of
Colorado mining men interested in
Mexico and the Wilson attitude will
be severely criticised, and to some ad-
vantage.
The betting is 500 to 300 that Wilson
will carry Colorado. and the same odds
that Hughes will carry the nation.

Loaves of Twelve Ounces,

The Retail Grocers' Association of
Norfolk asked for the Information, and
c. ]. Columbus, secretary Of the Wash
ington organization, said today that he
has telegraphed the Norfolk organiza
ton that the master bakers here sell
bread to the grocers at cents loaf to
retail at cents a loaf This bread. Mr.
Columbus said, averages twelve ounces
loaf. a fact he determined yesterday
by having a number of loaves of bread
made by different Washington bakers
weighed in one of the groceries of
Washington.
Il found Mr.. Columbus said, that
Washington bakers. unlike those in
some other cities, do not take back stale
bread. At least that is true, speaking
generally.
THAT question of trade practice is
settled in Washington in this way: In
the early morning the bakers delivery
wagons go about the city leaving in
the bread boxes of retailers the guam
tity asked for the day before. The driv-
ers then. between the hours of 10 and
l O'Clock in the day, call to collect for
the bread they delivered in the early
morning.

On a Cash Basis.

"All bread business in Washington
is on what is practically a spot cash
basis. or. in other words. if there is
credit from the baker to the retailer, it
is only for a few hours at most. If the
retail grocer feels at the time the
driver returns to collect for the de-
livered bread that he may not be able
to sell all that has been delivered to
him, he tells the driver So and the
driver upon this second call takes back
what the retailer thinks he will not
need. By the time of the second call
the retailer is pretty well advised of
what the demand from his customers
is to be that particular day, as most of
the bread is purchased in the morning.
But if a retailer has paid for certain
quantity on the second call and does
not sell it that afternoon. the bakers
drivers do not take back the unsold
stale bread the following day. The
loss. If any. falls on the retailer"
This information. Mr.. Columbus said
was CLEANED from inquiries among the
master bakers as well as among the
retailers.
