CHICAGO. May A steady stream
of offerings made the tone on the wheat
market undeniably weak today although
shortly after the start prices rallied lit
tie on covering. Fine weather for seed
ing in the northwest and generally favor
able conditions in the winter belt were the
factors that sent he market downward.
Shipments from Argentina for the week
were larger, mounting to 2,S00,O00
bushels, against 1,S32,000 bushels last
week and 100000 bushels a year ago
It was indicated that Great Britain had
obtained sufficient wheat to provide for
its needs until harvesting gets under way
in this country. Moreover the bears
pointed out that he world visible supply at
present is the greatest on record, amount
ing to 2S4,0O,OO0 bushels, against 17S ,OO0,-
900 bushels last year
1t was predicted that by the middle of
July the available supply in the United
Kingdom would be fully 40.O00,000 BUSH

Gated that surprising headway had been
made in putting hte crop into the ground
during the week, but conservative author
tiles admitted that the area would be
much smaller and that the outlook was
not nattering.
Smaller arrivals and lighter Manitoba
offers sustained the market at Liverpool.
A fair inquiry from the Continent was
noted.

The avowal of the cause of Mr..
Hughes by Colonel George Harvey is
one of the distinct features of the
present campaign. Il would be sig
nificant in itself that man of his
prestige. who had always trained with
the Democratic party, had espoused
the cause of the Republican candi-
date. But in Mr.. Harvey's case the
significance is very much greater as
well as the Importance of the event.
He has been not only, Democrat,
but n Wilson Democrat. Moreover,
he was the first man of prominence
To advocate the election of Woodrow
Wilson as President, and for many
years one of the closest friends and
advisers of the present occupant of
tile White House. Mr.. Harvey not
only proposed Mr.. Wilson for the
Presidency, but as early as 1910 In
terested United States Senator SMITH.
Democratic leader of New Jersey,
in Mr.. Wilson, and this resulted In
the Wilson nomination and election
as Governor of New Jersey.
Mr.. Harvey not only comes out for
MIR. Hughes, but gives very intelli-
gent reasons for his action i'm the
current number of his North Ameri-
can Review" In his judgment there
are two vital questions to be answered
before election. One Is, which OF the
two great parties at this particular
juncture In our progress as nation
is the better eqipped and the more
likely to render the highest public
service? The other is, which of the
two designated leaders Is the more GER
tain to preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution of the United States?
Such an issue as the Democrats claim.
that Mr.. Wilson has kept us out of
war and therefore is entitled To re-
election, Is brushed aside as some
thing that has no proper place In
the mind Of the voter of this year.
In Mr.. Harvey's judgment, only the
most insane partisan would venture

TO suggest possibility Of Mr.. VIII
son or Mr. Hughes melting or inviting
War with any European or Asiatic
Power, and therefore there is no fair
issue between them on this question
There are three elements that are
involved in the answers to these two
questions, those of military and in
dustrial preparedness, government by
and for the people, and national honor
and opportunity. So far as all of
these are concerned, the answer is
the same: Mr.. Hughes is the man
who should be chosen from each and
every standpOint-both as the repre-
sentative Of the Republican party and
as an individual. The best interests
of the country are to be served by
his election.
Mr.. Harvey calls attention to the
fact that the utter absence of self
seeking on the part of Mr.. Hughes
throughout his entire career, confirms
the belief that he does, in, fact, from
the very nature of his being, stand
for America first"
On the other hand, no less surely
and most disappointingly, happenings
of the past two years eliminating in
the betrayal of his country for the
qualification of personal ambition
prove incontestably that Mr.. Wilson
stands for Wilson first. That is Mr.
Harvey's opinion. In his judgment
there is no need to seek cOncu-
sion; Ii finds itself. The summing
up of the situation is that upon the
clearly-marked issues as between the
candidates, there is no reason why
any professed Republican, any
thoughtful Progressive or any prin-
cipled Democrat should not, and every
reason why every patriotic Republi-
can should vote for Mr.. Hughes for
President.
Such advice from such source
should make a deep impression upon
the American electorate. 1t certainly
is not given through any prejudice
against Mr.. Wilson, for Its author
would naturally be predisposed In ia
vor of the President. Nor does 1t come
from any lack of knowledge of Mr..
Wilson's methods and intent. The
intimacy of the two men has been
too long and too close to admit of
any lack of knowledge ON Mr.. Har-
veys part. The man who, as Mr..
Wilson's friend, first started the
movement for him for President, now,
after test of Mr.. Wilson In the
White House, advises the American
people to vote for Mr.. Hughes. There
should be no hesitancy on the part
of the voters to follow this advice.
Mr.. Wilson has become so thorough
ly neutral that he looks with grave
suspicion on the American contention
i'm any international dispute.

officer and his assistant to investigate
and the plumber was found concealed

ern park boundry. This situation has
been selected with reference to the
general effect as the enclosure with
its various structures is viewed from
the highway, paying due regard also
to its accessibility for receiving ex-
hibits and the convenience of those
who wish to see them.
The interior of the new structure
will be apportioned between exhibit9
and booths for sale and advertising
as demands for space indicate Count
ing the running length which the In
terror affords, and allowing that each
wall and central section will be
available, there would be $50 running
feet. This contemplates a line of
booths on each side with another in
the center. There will be certain de-
auctions for entrances, cross alleys,
etc, SO that the net available space
will be not far from 400 feet. IL
half of this was reserved for exhibits,
there would remain 200 feet to sell to
vendors and advertisers at an esti-
mated price of 81 per front foot.
These plans are of general interest
for they show prospective income OF
5000 annually, per cent interest on
$4,000, indicating that the building
will be more than self sustaining.
With the new building, the recent
land purchase and other contemplate
ed improvements come the knowledge
