either were not supplied with copies

out, still to be heard from. There
are many papers around the district
quite as pro-Cunningham as those of
the other sort and it is probable that
their attitude will be learned tomor-
row when the Tuesday exchanges will
be received. There is also to be as
certained the attitude of the republi-
press, for while it has no direct bear
ing on the primary, it may reflect to
a certain degree the opinion Of that
large body of neutrals who take little
interest in the campaign events. 1t
is probable, however, that the G.. o.

ultimatum as evidence of a coming
split which will re-elect Russell.

WILLIS PUTs ONE OVER COX

To encourage the breeding of bet
ter horses and to boost the interest
in speed events, Governor James NJ
Cox offered an elegant cup for the
winner in the State Fair race of three
year olds, bred and owned in Ohio
The race was a great success, Cox
paid for the cup and presented it to
the winner at the Fair. Willis offer
ed a loving cup. Willis presented IL
and got applause. Rumor has it that
the State of Ohio paid for it, The
wreck crew talks economy. This
item may have helped 10 swell the
State Fair shortage in 1915. The
boys are laughing at Cox because
he was fool enough to pay his own
money for the cup he gave away, The
joke is on Jim. Frank kept his mon

In a period of nine months the
trade of the United States has more
than doubled with South America.
Exports to South America in the nine
months period increased from S62,-
100000 to $l29,OOO,OOO. This was
due largely to the supplaning Of
European goods with american goods
but it was made possible solely
through the better understanding

WASHINGTON, April 10-The Navy

today for its eleventh annual conven-

general staff and a progressive naval
program without arbitrary limitation.
Speakers included men prominent
throughout the country. Attacks were
made on Henry Ford for published

to draft a statement replying to his
charges
Albert Bushnell Hart, professor of
political economy at Harvard, told the
convention that increasing RESPONSE
hility of the United States in Latin
America demands a powerful navy for
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine
The United States, he declared could
not keep its pledge to preserve the
present territorial relations of the
western world unless it was ready to

The only thing that has prevented
annexation of parts OF the western
world by European powers, he said
was the belief that the United States
was ready to resist.

articles subject to duty.
The decrease in the average rate of

The report calls attention to the

enues would be 1854 100000.
Exports are shown to have increased
enormously under a heavy demand
from Europe because of the war.
The report says actual competition
with foreign manufacturers is met by
few American factories because i'm
ports of manufactured goods amount
to less than five per cent of the total
of American manufacturers. A study
of the relation of wages to the value
of products, it continues. shows that
industries representing one fifth of the
total manufactured product of the
country, the labor cost is less than five
per cent of the value of the product.
Another fifth shows materials repre-
sent from five to fifteen per cent OF
the cost, another shows wages repre-
sent from five to fifteen per cent of
the cost another fifth from fifteen to
twenty per cent. Wages in most of
the remaining industries. represent
from twenty to thirty per cent.
A comparison of the wage percent
age of products in 100 industries with
the average rate of duty on all i'm
ports shows, the report says, that in
nearly half the industries the percent
age spent for wages was lass than the
cost of duties on the goods manufac-
tured.
