Chicago, May 25.-The Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
Arthur Sears Hennin, says that the
old guard republicans were the recip-
tents of much sympathy today and
for the first time number of them
were willing to concede they are en-
titled to it. Just when they were
settling down comfortably to the con-
viction that the remarkable develop

uuietus on Colonel Roosevelts ambi-
tions, along came a disturbing re-
vival of the Roosevelt movement.
Just when it appeared certain that
only Hughes stood between the old
guard and its hearts desire, the
eastern leaders woke up to the TACT

Want Hughes or Roosevelt.

Hughes is still far and away the
leading possible nominee, with Roose-
welt second. Reports from all over
the country disclose that Hughes and
Roosevelt are the only possibilities
seriously considered by republicans.
The Hughes boomers are more con-
fident than ever that the justice will
be nominated on the second or third
ballot, and they are even now talking
of the chance on putting him over"
on the first ballot. Frank Hitchcock
has bunch of southern delegates
and it is said that he intends to
throw them to Hughes on the first
ballot, beginning with Alabama and
Arizona. That is TO be the signal
for the rush to Hughes.

Root First Love.

Root is the first love of the old
guardsmen. Those eastern leaders
who occasionally venture west of the
Alleghenies opine that it would be
party suicide TO name Root. But Boss
Barnes and his following are insist
ing on it.
From New York comes the account
of a recent conference of war bride
millionaires with several old guard
leaders at which the munition finan-
ciers subscribed a fund of s20,000OO0
to be expended in nominating and
electing Root

hands than they had contracted to
handle. What with the delegates
who favor Hughes and the delegates
who are for Roosevelt, openly or Sc
cretly, an overwhelming majority
of the convention stands for men
the old guard must eliminate before
it gets the man it wants.
Old Guard Faces Dilemma.
The old guard now faces the prob
ability that, if Hughes should with
draw, Roosevelt stock would take a
skyward leap, and that, if Roosevelt
be effectually eliminated, the nomi-
nation of Hughes will approach close
to a certainty.
Since the Roosevelt boom got its
second wind the eastern leaders are
beginning to look on Hughes as a
life-saver, much as they dislike him.
With the progressive nomination as
sured, Roosevelt, it is foreseen,
might be a formidable antagonist
should Justice Hughes suddenly
knock the props from under his own
boom.
Hope Hughes Will OutIast T. R.
Hence sundry republican politicians
of the old school hereabout are hop
ing Hughes will stay in the race un-
til Roosevelt is disposed of and then,
if Hughes will not decently withdraw
the old guard will accept him with
appropriate relief in escaping Roose-
welt, but with misgivings of the fu-
ture.
There has been a good deal of gos-
sip here in the last day or two to the
effect that Justice Hughes does not
intend to allow his name to go before
the convention and has confded to
friends that he regards Colonel
Roosevelt the logical nominee. All
of these tales are emphatically de-
MED by the Hughes boomers.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1916-05-26
Stand of Hughes.

1t is asserted by republicans who
profess to know the attitude of Mr.,
Hughes that he will not withdraw his
name from consideration by the con-
vention unless there should develop
and unseemly struggle for delegates
in which a justice of the supreme
court would be made to appear as a
contestant for the honor.
According to the Hughes men the
justice will utter no word before the
convention meets to indicate whether
he will or will not accept the nomina-
ton. His silence will be interpreted
as acquiescence in the program to
hand him the nomination by an over
whelming vote.

Cant Cut Off My Leg
 Says Railroad Engineer

T am a railroad engineer; about 20 years ago my leg was seriously in jured in an accident out West. Upon my refusing to allow the doctor to amputate it was told it would be impossible to heal the wound. I have tried all kinds of salves and had many doctors in the past 20 years, but to no avail. Finally I resolved to use PETERSON'S OINTMENT on my leg. You cannot imagine my astonishment when I found 1t was doing what over 100 things had failed to do. My log is now completely cured. = Gus Hauft, 799 Myrtle Ave-, Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Tt makes me feel proud to be able to produce an ointment like that" says Peterson. Mot only do I guarantee Peterscn's Ointment for old sores and wounds, but for Eczema, Salt Rheurn. Ulcers, Itching Skin and Blind, Bleed ing or Itching Piles, and I put up a big box for 25 cents, price all can afford to pay, and money back from your druggist if not satisfied"

 The vote in Westerly revealed the fact that there are really enough dem- ocrats in Westerly to form a party or ganization. According to the vote there are 599 who favored Wilson as against SIS republicans. That would mean that their strength is within 319 of that of the republicans. Up to cleo tion day the minority party was given but little consideration. A prominent republican remarked Wednesday,. There are three times as many dem- ocrats in town as I thought there were, and unless there be reform in party management I believe there will be more!"
