HUGHES LEADS IN
EARLY BALLOTING

Chicago, June 12.-On the first two
ballots in the Republican national
convention Justice Hughes led the
field and gained strength.
His supporters, confident that an
other ballot would give him a major
ity, resisted adjournment, but the con.
vention. tired and worn with a con
tinuous ten-hOur session, adjourned

Republican convention has taken
more than one ballot TO choose a presi
Dental nominee.
On the first ballot Justice Hughes
polled 25312 votes He got AZ from his
own state and aside from Oregon and

WASHINGTON UNEASY
OVER MEXICAN AFFAIRS

Washington, June 2.-Anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations in Northern Mex
leo continue, according to official dis
patches. particularly in the states OF
chihuahua, San Luis Potosi and Neu-
vo Leon Although the manifesto
tions have been confined mostly to
speechmaking, consular agents have
reported that the temper of the people
appears such that any eventualities
might be possible.
Americans are leaving for the bor-
der In steadily increasing numbers.
Border agents have been instructed to
urge those seeking to return to Mex
leo to stay on the American side of
the border.
Officials here showed considerable
uneasiness over the situation. While
no overt act Is anticipated I'm any re-

ROOSEVELT ASSUMES
DIRECTION OF MOOSE

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 12.-Imme-
diately after adjournment of the Re
publican convention Colonel Roose.
welt assumed personal direction of
the Progressive convention through
his lieutenants over long distance tele-
phones.
He expected to be up most of the
night making plans.
Colonel Roosevelt was kept in close
touch with the balloting in Chicago by
Progressive leaders over the tele-
phone and by newspaper correspond
ents at Oyster Bay.
He appeared we'll pleased with the
result of the second ballot, which left
Hughes far short of enough delegates
to win the nomination.
Colonel Roosevelt feels that the
Hughes adherents will not be able TO
gain further strength on succeeding
ballots, and he seemed to attach sig
nificance to the fact that ii was Sena-
tor Penrose who moved for an ad-
journment.
II is the belief of Colonel Roosevelt
that the maximum of Hughes strength
was reached on the second ballot, and
that his own chances of getting the
nomination were thereby increased.

for president by acclamation at the
Progressive convention amid scenes
of disorder

flashed to the Progressive convention
that Hughes had been nominated at
the Coliseum as the standard bearer
of the Republican party, Chairman
Robins of the Progressive convention
was announcing that Colonel Roose-
welt had been unanimously nominated
as the Progressive leader.
The convention went wild and there
was no way to inform the delegates
what had transpired at the Coliseum.
For several minutes Chairman Robins
vainly raped for order
Five minutes passed before order
was restored and James r. Garfield
of Ohio, without telling the delegates
that Hughes had been named at the
Coliseum, asked for a recess to 3
p. m, after singing one verse of
America"
Before this action was taken Mr..
Robins had mentioned the necessity
of nominating a vice president
johnson is the man." was the shout
that came from the floor. showing
that the desire of the party was al
most unanimously for their 1912 stand
ard bearers Colonel Theodore ROose
welt of New York and Governor Hiram
Johnson OF California.
Governor Johnson declared after
the recess that he and other leaders
would communicate with Colonel
Roosevelt during the recess and I'm.
sist upon a definite statement as to
whether he would accept

these delegates should be advised be
fore the convention adiourns, just
what the Progressive party intends to
do.

they should not be held in suspense
in this critical time"

dent was next in order of business,
and the clerk started the roll call.
Colorado yielded to Pennsylvania,
and John Wanamaker placed Fair
banks in nomination
A general breaking up of the ia
vOrite sons delegations was evident
as the hours for the assembling of
the Republican convention ap-
preached
The general drift was toward JUS
tice Hughes.
Senator Sherman of Illinois releas-
ed his fifty-six delegates, and II was
said that practically all would vote
for Hughes on the third ballot of the
convention.
Senator Weeks released his dele
gates, and while the Massachusetts
men indicated they wanted to stay
with him to the end, the others gave
signs of going over TO the justice. Mr.
Weeks polled lO5 votes at his topmost
strength.
Fairbanks supporters gave indica.
tions of not pressing their fight fur
ther and the Hughes leaders expected
more additions to their columns from
Indiana and other states.

FLOWING SOMETHING UNDER

The Scotch farmers a hundred years ago had learned the gospel of building up their soil by use of barnyard manure and by blow ing under some green crop. The Arkansas farmers must learn this lesson. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of upland and hiil land that must have more humus or they will soon fail to return enoug crop to pay for the labor of cultivating. Grow clover for green manurinq as is called, or wheat, rye of oats. In November and Decem- Der cotton farmers and corn far

Department of Agriculture is urging the seeding of wheat, ryt or o1.s on every acre of cotton or c..n land not seeded to clover Tn tat case the blowing must be put off until spring, but let us all learn the gospel of blowing something under" and quit burn ing anything that would ahela build up the soil.
