LECTION ON THE HUGHES
COMMITTEE

THOSE NOW IN CONTROL OF
; REPUBLICAN PARTY

St.Paul-(Sept. 11)-It would seem
small thing to start row over,
but the recent appointment by Chair
man Wilcox Of the national Repub-
ican central committee of former
Governor A. o. Eberhart as a member
of the Hughes advisory committee has
let loose a hornets nest, the sting of
which is statewide and threatens
Hughes success in Minnesota. Re-
duced to cold facts, the foremr gov
ernor was named without the knowl-
edge or consent of either c. A. Cong
don, national committeeman: l. A.
Caswell, who is pretty much at" in
Minnesota; Eric Thornton, state Re-
publican chairman, or any other of
the workers and leaders concerned
with Republican success in this stae,
and as a result Chairman Wilcox, it
is reported, has been deluged with let
tiers and kilograms of protest. E. e.
Smith, former Republican state chair
man, and the high priest of the old
guard, together with George Author,
private secretary of the former gov
ernor and at present in charge Of
Western publicity for the national
committee, are charged with putting
the Eberhart appointment over. Sc
persistent and vigorous have been
some of the protests that the national
chairman, am told, is trying to wrig-
gle out of the mess. to the extent of
transferring the former governor to
some other position carrying less re-
sponsibility. As stated, it seems a
little matter to make fuss over-you
and I would hardly give i: any
thought-but from all accounts the
yell that went up when the selection
of Mr.. Eberhart was made public
was impressive enough TO cause Chair
man Wilcox to at once send a man
to Minnesota to investigate. The rep
resentative saw one well known Min
neapolis publisher and the raking this
particular publisher INDUCED in, they
say, was sufficient to send the Will
cox representative back to New York
in a hurry. The report he carried
back I am informed, was warm one.
If recent Eastern dispatches count for
anything Candidate Hughes is not at
all impressed with the management
of Chairman Wilcox.
II
No one can question the Republic
anism of former Governor Eberhart
He has been right when Republican
principles were involved and has fol-
lowed its leaders even to defeat when
these same principles were in ques-
ton, but this seems to be one time
when he is wrong. AS I get it, the
protest against his appointment as a

from office three county commission
ers, r. S. Mcdonald, William Har-
rington and Harold Royem, pending
an official investigation. The new
complaint in measure supplemented
that which resulted in the suspension
of Mr.. SlOcum. So far nothing abso-
lutely criminal has been shown, but it
is alleged there are evidences of COL
fusion and mismanagement that close
ly approach such.
The present week should see both
the Republican and Democratic state
campaigns in full swing. Chairman
Thornton of the Republican forces is
at present in St. Paul and is keeping
open house at the Hotel St. Francis.
He will have full corps of assistants
in week. Associated with I'm in
an advisory capacity will be 1. A. Cas-
we'll, James S. Arneson, Charles Moos
of the Kellogg forces, Sid Huntley of
Spring Valley and other Republicans
of note. Chairman Thornton says he
is confident that Governor Burnquist
will largely increase his primary ma
jority. The balance of the ticket, he
asserts, will poll the full Republican
strength in the State. He does not
know of any sore spots, he says.

give favorable answer. Julius Thor

given it out that he does not stand for

That the present statewide primary

the arguments to be advanced before
the legislature next winter in favor
of either the appeal or the amending

member of the Hughes advisory COM
mittee is not so much against him
personally as it is against the methods
employed in putting him over. Ed.
Smith is held to be responsible and
his interest in the matter is the well
being of the old guard and his associ-
ates should Mr.. Hughes get by. Mr..
Smith and his followers were sup
posed to have received their quietus
with the defeat of Mr.. Eberhart for
governor and later for United States
senator. With his supposed passing
a new and more progressive crowd
came into control, but as things loom
up, now Ed is by no means the dead
one that some would call him. He is
very much in evidence, and if Mr..
Hughes prevails-well, l leave it 20
you to figure out what will happen.
National politics have not invaded
Minnesota to the extent that the vot-
ers are in a sweat regarding the out
come, but 1 think it is safe to say
that some tall thinking is being in
dulged in. That Mr.. Hughes will carry
the state is generally conceded, but
by how big a majority is the question.
To speak plainly Mr.. Hughes did not
greatly impress his auditors when he
visited Minnesota several weeks ago
and this has not been lost upon the
Democratic leaders, who have been
directing all their energies President
Wilson's way. With the knowledge
that there is little chance for the state
ticket they have transferred their ac-
tivities to the national nominees and
in a month there will be fully or
ganized working committee in every
county. With known dissatisfaction
in the Republican ranks it is easy to
figure out what harm such an organl-
cation can do. While they may not be
able to carry the state for President
Wilson such organizations can ma
terially reduce the Hughes majority.
| They can harm the state ticket too.
The report that the state railway
and warehouse commission is due for
some hard knocks the coming session
of the legislature is not without
foundation. It's very existence is
threatened. Accepting the statement
of Representative Mangus Johnson of
Meeker county, he with Representa-
tive Spooner, is going to try to have
the grain inspection department di-
vorced from the commission and to
this end he and Mr.. Spooner will try
to induce the new economy and eff
cheney commission to draft bill pro-
viding for such. Mr.. johnson has al
ready asked the commission for a
hearing. He wants the grain inspec-
ton service to be a separate depart
ment. This is no place to argue re-
garding the merits of the proposition
but l can safely say one thing-both
the commission and many farmers
will fight the proposed separation tc
the bitter end. Such division will SIM
ply mean the finish Of the state rail-
road and warehouse commission.

INQUIRY POINTS TO MANIPULA.
TION OF FOOD PRICES

/ Washington, December 7-Informa-
ton gathered from many sources by
Government officials conducting the
nationwide inquiry into the high cost
of living pointed with increasing di-
rectness tonight to the conclusion
that the soaring prices of certain ne
cessities of life were due, to some ex-
tent at least, to the manipulations of
food and other spectators who had
combined to force quotations upward.
These combinations were believed by
the Government investigators to have
been criminal in character, rather
spasmodic and rather short lived.
Special attention is being given just
now to alleged price manipulation in
the so-called coal corner which re-
Gently resulted in sending prices to a
panic level. Investigation of the high
price of coal. hardly yet begun, has
already convinced some officials that
there was no warrant whatever for
S12 coal in Boston and New York other
than the activity of these alleged COM
binations. Whether men who profited
most can be punished under Federal
laws is said to be still under consider
alton.

With the investigation in its in

dict tonight where it might lead. The
activities of certain men, however, are
known to be under surveillance and
no small part of the work assigned the
fifty office investigators in the field
has been the checking of transactions
during the past few months by these
men.
Al the same time officials make
clear their convictions that no small
part of the rise in prices was due to
natural economic causes.

WELCOME FOR TRUrON FORCES m
BUCHAREST

The Roumanian army at last reports
was still falling back all along the
line east Of Bucharest, from the Tran
sylvanlan Alps to the Danube. Just
where II will stop and face about, and
with its Russian allies, make a stand
against the Teutonic allies has not be-
come apparent. On the Moldavlan
west frontier and farther north along
the Bokowina border the Russian at
tacks against the Austro-German
forces have failed to make any impress
sion.
An official communication from Ber-
lin says Bucharest was captured with
out any fighting except by the Rou-
manian infantry north and west Of
the capital This resistance was
quickly overcome, it is stated, and the
invaders entered the town from all
sides. being received enthusiastically
by the populace and decorated with
flowers.
Cabinet Personnel In Doubt
Aside from Rounmania the greatest
interest still is conferred in the po-
litical crisis in great Britain. David
Lloyd-George has formally accepted
from the King the past of prime
minister and first Lord of the treas
ury, a fact which is considered an
Indicating that he will be able speed
lily to form a ministry. The probable
makeup of the cabinet has not been
announced.
On none of the fronts is san
culinary battle in progress. For the
most part the artillery wings Of the
belligerent armies are doing the great
err portion of the work.
Berlin reports that the Bulgarians
have forced back the British in the
Struma river lowlands near Sores in
Macedonia, and the Germans have
compelled the evacuation by Serbians
of positions they had previously cap
tured near Tonovo in the Cerna river
sector.
Russians Lose In Bohemia
West of Lutsk. in Bohemia, the
Teutonic allies have captured Russian
positions and successfully withstood
counter attacks. The Vienna war Of
flee reports that the Italians, after a
vigorous bombardment, launched two
attacks on the Carso front of the
Austro-Italian theater, but that both
of them were repulsed.
Artillery duels and exploits by raid
ing parties continued on the fronts in
Belgium and France. The Germans
and French are engaged in a spirited
artillery battle in tn region of Hill
304, northwest of Verdun, where the
Germans Wednesday gained some
ground.
