out OF the charges OF Senator
Lodge was definitely closed.
Beneath an exterior OF optimism
as TO the election outcome. the
presidents lieutenants quietly pro
fess some uneasiness at what they
term unprecedented sums of money
dispensed by the republicans to
check the tide to Wilson"
The democrats claim that the re-
publicans have thrice as much
money at their disposal as have
the democrats They point to ma.
tional advertising as one means

last minute. to create false i'm
pressions.'

COLUMBUS, Ind, Oct. 31.-Gov.
Charles E. Hughes today indorsed speci6cal-

son in relation to shipment Of munitions and
the McLemore resolution warning Ameri-
cans.
President Wilson made one of his big
gest fights to prevent the passage of the
McLemore resolution warning Americans
against travelling on the high sea, and he has
also permitted the shipment of munitions to
belligerent nations.
Heckled by a spectator. who said he was
"personal friend" and wanted Hughes to
declare himself on those two questions, the
republican candidate for president said:
IL am in favor of the maintenance Of
every right, including the right to travel and
the right of shipments.

The fact that they likely to win is argument

COOPERATIVE BUYING or
CONSUMERS IN FRANCE
Assuming Such Proportions as to Wor-
ry the Dealers.

Paris, June Cooperative buying
by associations of consumers are fast
developing from the present food sit
uation in France. They are likely to
assume such proportions as to worry
the dealers who have profited from the
state Of war to exact war profits ON
provisions that have been so abund-
ant as to justify normal prices.
A well known actress, a woman
lawyer and an authoress of renown
form one OF the ''cooperatives'' as they
are called at the central markets.
Three times week they get out with
their market baskets early enough to
get to the sHalles" for the seven
o'clock sales and by combining their
requirements get nearly everything
they need at wholesale prices.
Provisions bought at the central
markets are not delivered at domi
Giles by the seller which has ALWAYS
been an obstacle to individual mar
keting there; the money saved was no
more and often less than the price Of
q cab to carry the purchases home,
The cooperative system removes this
obstacvle. the same cab delivers bas-
kets Of provisions to three or -four
families leaving good margin OF
profit on the days marketing.
