-FOUR REAS0NSWH :
HUGHES WON 7 RUN
Roosevelt Does Not Like Justice
and Will Not Support
Him. =,
BESIDES HE WOULD NOT
LIKE TO LEAVE: LIFE JOB
Not the Choice of Forward-Look-
ing Wing of the Republican
Party.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-There
are four reasons why Justice Charles
E. Hughes will not be nominated at
the republican national convention as
the party's republican-progress
They are:
CD Roosevelt does not like Hughes
and would not support him.
CD Hughes does not like Roosevelt
and would not accept the latter's for
God-and-country platform.
(5) Hughes would not like to leave
a life job as justice of the supreme
court on the chances of getting the
presidency or defeat-unless the
chance for getting the presidency can
be made more attractive than it is
likely to be made.
(4) The republican convention "ar-
rangers are probably not really for
Hughes, but are using him as a stalk
ing horse in the belief that they can
trade and dicker for some "eminently
satisfactory man of their own brand
Of craftsmanship.
Several Other Reasons.
There are several other reasons why
Hughes will not be nominated, but
these will accomplish the result.
One of the most remarkable things
about the Hughes boom is the fact
that it has gone ahead on the assump-
ton that Hughes would, have support
of the prOgressives. That Hughes has
no claim on progressive confidence is
indicated by the following facts:
(1) He was appointed to the su-
preme court by President Taft, who is
not famed for appointing progressives
to responsible judicial jobs.
CD He was Nominated to the posi-
ton of attorney in the insurance in
vestigation by Strong, Cadwallader &
company, from which firm Taft took
his encouragement, George w. Wick
ersham.
... When. Thieves Fell Out. = i.
* *CSJ The insurance investigation
which made Hughes famous, was SUBJ
sequently discovered to be merely an
incident in battle royal between two
financial groups each seeking posses
sion of the vast capital of the insur-
ance companies. The expose in the
public interest was a weapon used
against the Hartman group. The
Ryan group won..
(4) AS reform governor of New
York, Hughes made popular primaries
his one slogan, and went out of office
with no primary law enacted, and the
Barnes-Murphy bipartisan control
still all-powerful.
(5) During the years, when the pro-
gressives of the country were fighting
for such things as popular election of
senators, regulation of railway rates,
restraints on overcapitalization, in
come-tax amendment, Strengthening
the antitrust law, and all the pro-
gram of labor legislation, Charles E.
Hughes was not heard to endorse or
otherwise aid in any way of these
causes.

W NASHlNGION, Marcn 5O.-The
American Federation of Labor's call
for labor's world peace congress, to
be assembled at the same time and

the terms which end the world war,
was sent out Sunday to the organ

Effect To Be Noted.
Such an assembly Of representa-

pected to have large effect on the
spirit and determination of the lat

Issues Are At Stake.
I'VE are not unmindful of the is

the toilers of all the countries.
The workers can refuse to be the
victims of the blunders, the evil
plans, the ambitions of those respon-
sible for this war. In their strug-

yearnings for human freedom, for
better opportunities, for justice in

and value it is the duty of the wage
earners to make demands on the
world assembled in the next world

such demand, made by the per-

BOXING SPORTS OF
Manager Tinker of the Cubs is CIV
ing much of his time at the Tampa
camp to MUlligan, the rookie infieId-
,er, who is looked upon as a certain
ty for a utility berth. The little fell
dow can field up to the mark, but he
needs practice in batting the shoots
served up by the big league pitchers.
MuIIigan gets personal attention
from Tinker and several of the slug
gers of the team during batting prac-
tice, and he is being told how to
stand, how to place his feet, and how
to shift to meet the different brands
of hurting. When Muligan is at bat
the pitchers are instructed to cut
loose a bit of the best brand of goods.
The system seems to be bringing
results, for the rookie is pounding the
ball hard in the practice games, and
lis picking out the good ones to offer
at Pitching at the present time is
mot as good as it will be, but it offers
a fair test.
This system worked in the case of
Cy Williams. At the start of last
season Williams was not looked on
as much of a hitter, because of his
failing the previous year, when he
was absolutely helpless against a
curve ball that was low and on the in
side of the plate
But at Tampa, Cy, under diIigent
instruction, had worked hard to cor
rect this fault, and the results show
ed when he began to paste the ball
vigorously against the best pitchers
of the National League. He became
one of the most dependable men on
the Cub squad, and was particularly
good at bunting, which requires eX-
ceHslt judgment, a good eye, and
obfity to pick the proper kind of
ais.

BOXING SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BASEBALL

ne rest Ol the team IS composed OF
veterans who can do their training in
diligently in their own way, and this
leaves Tinker time to pay attention to
his youngsters. There are not many
recruits with the team, but those
present are getting the best chance
rockies ever had before,
Regulars beat the recruits, 8 to 7.
Zwilling hit a homer, Mulligan a
triple, Schultz a triple and single,
Safer a single and double and Zim
three singles. Hendrix, SeatOn, Nc
Council and Prendergast did the
pitching, and the entire squad had an
excellent workout Weather condi-
tons so far have been perfect for the
Cubs.
This morning the White Sox ar
rived in camp at Mineral Wells, and
the training grind is under way. A
few of the more ambitious fellows
got out their balls and gloves during
the day and tossed a few slow ones,
but this form of endeavOr was not
encouraged by Manager Rowland.
Pants headed a walking trip over
the hills surrounding the town, and
the athletes were tired when they got
back. This was done to take their
train legs off, and tomorrow the
double daily sessions of work will be-
gin.
With the Sox practice starts at
9:15, with a meeting in the. man
ayers room. For half an hour there
is a discussion of strategy, and then
the athletes get down to real manual
labor. In the strategy sessions va
riOus plays are mulIed over, and
forms of attack and defense are PLAN
ned.
All the players are invited to pre-
sent their views, and a final jury.

In addition to ducking learn to
shadow-box-that is, spar with an
imaginary opponent, and above all
develop your fOotwork, for if you are
shifty and able to step inside punches
or back way you have mastered one
of the real tricks of the game.

QUITE WILLING TO SERVE.
Muscatine Man Drawn as Juror i'm His
Own Case.

Muscatine, Feb. 14.-It isn't often
that man finds himself a defendant
in sensational suit for damages and
at the same time among those whose
names have been chosen to complete
the panel of jury in the district
court, but that is what happened to
w. " Daut.
The case of Harry Springer VS..
William V. Daut, charging a con-
spiracy to SANDER, was started in the
district court Saturday morning. An
ticipating that the panel of jurors
will be exhausted before twelve men
are found to try the case County
Clerk Upton drew the names of TWEEN
ty more Muscatine county residents
to complete the panel and among
them appears the name of William V.
Daut. For the case now being tried
Mr.. Da can probably furnish an
excuse good enough to excuse him
from jury service.

WHY GO WEST, YOUNG MAN?
Own State Best Fruit Growing Re.
giOn of Any i'm Country.

"One Of the best fruit growing re-
gions in the whole United States" is
the term that T. j. Nancy, horticul-
turist at Ames, applies to the south
western section of Iowa.
In the first place." says Mr..
Nancy, 1.-THE climate of this section is
ideal for fruit growing and the soil
excellent. Orchards planted there
grow If properly cared for.
Then the San Jose scale, which
in the east is one of the most ravag-
ing Of the fruit scales, is entirely alb
sent in the southwestern counties
of this state, where, | believe, it will
never gain a foothold.
Land in this section is compare
lively cheap. 1t can be bought for
1925 to $50 an acre, where the
same land farther east costs any
where from $500 to $500 an acre.
Then this region is ideally situated
as far as markets are concerned,
both local and national"
Which prompts the queries:
What more could you want?" and
why go west?"

HELP THE QUAILS.
These Birds Are Valuable As Insect
Killers On Farms.

Waterloo, Ia, Feb. 14.-The Iowa
Audubon society, thru it's local Off
GERS, today issued an appeal 10 farm
ers to use their best efforts in protect
ing and feeding the quail during the
time that the present heavy fall of
snow covers the ground.
Quail are valuable aids to the
farmer during the summer season as
they devour thousands OF farm pests
that otherwise would injure the
crops and the farmers can well afford
to give the little birds a small por-
ton of their plenty at this time when
the snow prevents the quail from
finding food for themselves, says the
society.
Whenever heavy snow comes the
birds are unable to forage much for
themselves and are able to find but
little to eat when they do forage. For
this reason farmers should take pains
to scatter grain in such bare and shell
tered places as they can find in their
fields, if necessary removing patches
of snow in order that the birds may
find the grain. If there are any prai-
RE chickens about the farm, these,
too, will be able to feed off the grain
thus scattered.
1t would pay farmers also, says the
society, if they will see that holes are
made along the base of their hay or
straw stacks OF other places of shell
ter provided for these birds to pro-
tect them from the snow and cold
weather. If these precautions are
not taken, the society points out
hundreds of quail must perish, es-
pecially should severe cold weather
set in while the ground is heavily COW
cred with snow. AS every dead quail
is loss to the farmer
