Omitted Press staff correspondent
Chicago, June 5-The old guard made
its first definite proffer to the pro.
gressives today Secure in its own be-
lief that it can control the votes of
ma iOrity Of the delegates, the dOminent
forces of republicanism want Hughes.
But they only want Hughes if they can
be convinced he can be winner next
November. Therefore, their preliminary
feeler to the prOgressives was to ascer-
tain whether an agreement could not be
possible with Hughes as a candidate,
running on any sort of a platform which
the progrcssivcs might require.
The old guard isn't belittling the
power which it feels the progressives
can swing and its plan went further
than mere suggestion that agreement
come about on Hughesl 1t went so far
as to say they were the ones who put
Hughes over. The scheme fostered by
the old guard was to have the progress
sives meet Wednesday and not later
than Thursday night, to nominate
Hughes. Then by Friday or Saturday,
the republican convention would
choose the same standard bearer. The
progressives could very well "point
with pride" to the fact that, by their
action in naming Hughes, they had
forced the G. o. P into selecting the
same leader.
Try to Smoke Hughes Out.
The progressive leaders, who have
been waiting some sort of an olive
branch suggestion, made it known today
they We're first for ROosevelt--and only
for Hughes if some sort of "satisfac-
tory'' statement OF principles could be
extracted from the justice. Failing that
they Haunted the bfg stick of third
ticket.

English Admit Losses ll4,lOO

London, June 5.-The hope of many
English families, members of which
were on the ships lost in the great
ekagerak sea fight, that some of the
men would be rescued, is being slowly
crushed by the tales of awfulness
brought in by vessels which have
reached Copenhagen since the battle.
But with the crushing of this hope,
pride in the navy is growing hourly
with the continued inslstence of the
British admiralty that the Germans
lost far more heavily than they admit.
"There seems to be the strongest
ground for suppOsing that included in
the German battle losses are two bat
tieships, two dreadnaughts, of the
most powerful type, two of tie latest
light cruisers, the Wiesbaden and the
Ebling, a light cruiser OF the ROstoei
type, the light cruiser Frauenlob, ten
destroyers and a submarine the state
nent said.
(The Germans admit only the loss of
the battleship Pommern, ,he cruisers

six destrOyers.)

 Dear Sir:-
 Seven years ago I wrote to the "Ketchikan Miner" asking why nominate for the School Board a man who had no children attend ing school, in fact was not a fath- CT, as surely men with children would take more personal and vital interest in scholastic matters than those not having any, and the one to whom 1 referred withdrew.
 In looking over the candidates for our coming election, I notice several nominees who are not prop erty owners of our town. Does it not seem more consistent to have none but property owners and local merchants on our City Council as one naturally supposes such would show greater and more judicious judgment than non-property own CTS? Truly ours,
