Even the most astute politicians in the
state admitted that the results of the
Republican state convention, which
opened here today, could best be ex-
pressed at present by a big question

There was no native son" element
in evidence, and what sentiment pre-.
viously had been expressed was about
equally divided between Roosevelt,
Hughes and Borah. An uninstructed
delegation appeared to be the most
probable outcome.

Gidates. The state committee was in
session practically all night, hearing
contests from several counties. Or
the eve of battle both factions pro-
fessed to have enough votes TO win
each disputing the claims of the
other.
Besides choosing a national com
mitteeman the convention will elect
four delegates-at-large to the Chicago
convention and viii also select a state
chairman. The remaining delegates
to the national convention have al
ready been named at district conven
tions.

Of the producers claim that between
the 90 cents a quart which the pro-

the 9 or 10 or more cents which the
dealers charge the public there is a
margin of profit which will permit the
dealers to pay or cents more a
gallon without great difficulty.

change in the present British and
French policy, restoring the United

At the British embassy today it was
stated that the allies desired to tighten

with this end In view. that the series
OF conferences to be held in New York
this week, between leading American

NEWLY WE'D TEACHERS
MAY NOT STEP ASIDE
Likely to Be Few Vacancies for
Graduates Of Normal School
to Fill.

Few new teachers will be appointed
to the public schools this year, in the
opinion of officials Of the schools.
The reason is that rule 49," which
automatically released feminine teach
ers who married. was repealed by the
courts. A number of woman teachers
who recently married have signified in
tention to remain on the teaching force.
Just how many of these woman
teachers who have recently married
will retain their positions is not known.
Unofficially the school heads have learn
ed of a number newly weds who intend
to stick. This means fewer vacancies
this year and fewer appointments from
the normal school graduates.
Under the old order. when the officials
heard of a woman teachers marriage her
Resignation" was automatic, whether she
rendered it formally or not. Now, how
ever, unless the teachers actually send
their designations to the school authorities
they must be considered as still on the
rolls until the authorities have a chance
