Were the convention to be held next week,
with the Colonel on the scene, he would be
most formidable candidate, and his opponents
would be put to it to find upon whom they
could unite. Considering everything from the
standpoint of the present the chances are that
they would be forced to recognize that their
strongest hope lay in Justice Hughes He has
been more in the minds Of the active men OF
the party in spite of his natural refusal to be re-
garded as a candidate, than any Of those who
frankly are seeking the honor. Justice Hughes
has steadfastly, appropriately and commercially
refrained from any discussion Of political issues,
just as he has plainly and repeatedly stated that
he is not candidate for the Presidential nomi-
nation. While his wishes are being respected,
quite to the extent that could reasonably be
pected, Justice Hughes is taken into account in
all discussions OF the possible outcome at Chi
cago 1t can only be regarded significant that,
in of his utterances upon the subject Of the
Presidency, has he said the word that would
eliminate him from consideration and prevent his
nomination Until he does he will remain
strong possibility in the contest, and it need not
be surprising if the delegates at Chicago find
themselves forced to make choice between Col
Roosevelt and Justice Hughes.

Tree Spraying Killing Birds.

most deplorable result of the spraying of
trees to exterminate moths is the killing OF
birds. Many instances are related of this most
rregrettable outcome. Birds are the friends OF
humanity. Their attack upon insects, this con-
stituting nine-tenths of their means of subsist-
ence, does more to keep down the ravages of
pests than all the artificial means resorted to
py man ever has or ever can accomplish. In
vestlgauons which have been made by bird
lovers have resulted in the information that in
an area as large as the State of Massachusetts
oirds destroy 10000 bushels OF insects every day
IN the summer season, and in view of such a
demonstration OF the usefulness OF birds it seems
incomprehensible that every one is not their
iriend and ready to do everything possible to
assist IN their propagation and longevity
1t was only recently that three robins were
found dead in single tree which had been
sprayed in Concord, their deaths having been
caused by the poison used for the destruc-
ton OF moths Either tree spraying should be
so conducted as no. to kill the birds or some
other way Of combating moths should be de-
wsed. The birds are our friends and they should
be Observation-Disclosures Mirror and American

Progressive leaders using as weapon
against Justice Hughes the fact that Col Roose-
welt a candidate for President has been placed
on the blacklist of the Cerman-American ALI
snce, while Justice Hughes has not. What they
are demanding in effect is an expression from
Justice Hughes to whether, in the event Of
his election, he would the interests of Ger
many or the interests of the United States. The
demand is almost insulting as it is ridiculous
and those who making it know quite we'll
that it will be ignored by Justice Hughes Ad-
vanced for effect on the convention. it will fail
in that too. No delegate will withhold a vote
from Justice Hughes because Of any doubt Of
his Amercansn.
The Washington herald., 1916-06-11
May ID, 1916.

The plain truth is that the Progressive bluff
has failed already The Republican convention
will nominate the man who the delegates believe
can gather the most votes, and he will necessar-
lily be a safe man and not extremist,
American and not pacihst, statesman and not
a soldier Does the Colonel think he fits the
specifications, and he make the convention
think so? In that event he has chance. In
any event it is reasonable conclusion that Col.
Roosevelt will not seek oblivion for himself by
placing obstacles in the way of the election OF
Justice Hughes, Mr.. Root, Mr.. Burton, Mr.. Fair
banks, Mr.. Cummns Mr.. Weeks should any
one of them be nominated by the Republican
convention.
The Washington herald., 1916-06-11
May 26, 1916.

So neither the "Old Guard" nor any other
Republican faction may without inviting disaster
weigh selfish interests any consideration other
than the national welfare against the vote-con-
trolling power Of the strongest candidate, which
IT may safely be said at this juncture is the
paTty's most valuable asset. The coun-
uy's demand in this period Of great responsible
ties and possibilities is plainly for wise and ex-
perieneed and far-seeing craftsmanship calm
judgment stesdfast and conservative policies Il
may require all of these in large measure to de-
feat President Wilson.
The Washington herald., 1916-06-11
May 23, 1916.

The most fragrant recent example of re-
port given out for effect is the statement in
quotation marks, credited to Justice Hughes, to
the effect that in his opinion Roosevelt is 60
ing to be nominated, it makes it unnecessary
to discuss any one else at all"
The majority of those who have kept half an
eye on the political situation displayed their
wisdom by refusing to believe that Justice
Hughes said anything of the sort, and as he re-
fuses to notice the statement it has failed of its
purpose, whether it to gain support for Col
Roosevelt to spread new alarm among the
odd Guard" or merely to smoke out" Justice
Hughes.
The Washington herald., 1916-06-11
June 9. 1916.

In spite of all the acclaim at Chicago Col
Roosevelt has no reason to believe honestly that
he is the choice Of majority Of the delegates
The convention, in harmony with the unpre-
cedented demand OF the Republicans Of the ns-
ton. is almost solidly in favor of the nomination
Of another sterling American Justice Hughes
will bear the party standard as the result Of the
full and free expression of will of the delegates
They prefer him to Col Roosevelt.
To believe that Col Roosevelt will place any
obstacle in the way of Justice Hughes triumph
over President Wilson who Col Roosevelt has
told the country hundred times is DESTROYING
it, is to insult his integrity and his intelligence
alike. He sought the nomination at the hands
Of the Republican convention, but it will 90 to
man who has not even signhed his willingness to
accept it. Col. Roosevelt as defeated candidate
before the Republican convention has no right
and no excuse to place himself at the head Of the
ticket OF another party, thus to aid in what, ac-
cording to his solemnly proclaimed belief, is the
nations destruction.
Under the circumstances II is only logical to
assume that if the Colonel finds himself unable
to prevent the Progressives from nominating him
he will at least exert all of his efforts to prevent
the taking of votes from the man chosen by that
party to which the Colonel professed allegiance
when he asked again for its preferences.

The Washington herald., 1916-06-11
June a. 1916.

The convention will proceed with the work of
selecting candidate fully assured that Col
Roosevelt will support its choice. No other pos
sible course is open to him. 1t is possible to
conceive of hopeless deadlock between the sup
porters of Roosevelt and Hughes that may lead
to the nomination of Knox, Mccall, Burton or
Fairbanks, but a deadlock appears to be their
one chance. Col. Roosevelt cannot place an OBJ
staele in the way of the election of any one of
them.
But, all things considered. almost on the eve
OF the convention, it appears that Justice Hughes
will be the nominee of the Republican party and
that he will accept
