Boom for Colonel Roosevelt Takes
Decided Slump But HIS Followers
are Still Optimistic.
HITCHCOCK MAKES FORECAST
Predicts Nomination Of Justice
Hughes on an Early Ballot; Efforts
are Being Made to Please the Pro-
gressive Delegates so as TO lane
Them up for Hughes.

CHICAGO, June 5.--The Hughes
boom had achieved commanding
lead this afternoon. Progressive lead
ers privately admitted a decided slump
in the Roosevelt movement but pre-
dicted revival later.
Hitchcock declared Hughes mo-
mination on an early ballot is inevi-
table. He will receive more votes on
the first ballot than the combined
strength of favorite sons candidates"
He showed actual figures of the
strength Of favorite sons. Organiza-
ton leaders continued to feel out the
progressive sentiment regarding the
various candidates in an attempt to
attract the bull moose support. The
main efforts, however, were to decor
ate the Hughes bandwagon to suit
progressive tastes.
Organized opposition to Hughes has
disappeared. Even the Root support
ers are not against Hughes. This
paramount idea is that they must
pick a candidate who can win. II
Roosevelt can convince the old or
ganization of his ability to win in No
vember. he can win the nomination.
The progressive committee named a
conference committee today to con-
suit with republicans on the platform
and candidate. The committee con-
sists of George Perkins, Hiram John
son and Horace Wilkinson.
Roosevelt's secretary declared pos
itively that the colonel would not
come to the convention.
An unusual calm prevails about the
opposing headquarters. Progressives
admit that the old guard absolutely
controls the organization. They are
not worried, however. because the
stalwarts frankly admit they do not
care to exercise their ability. Hereto
fore the progressives have serenly be-
lieved that they held the only candi-
date on whom it was possible to unite
Their serenity showed signs of dis
ntegration however. when Hughes
prospects frightened this afternoon.
The favorite sons sentiment of dark
horse possibility is at a low ebb.
Hitchcock's announcement showed
that 354 delegates were instructed
for favorite sons. 1t takes 493 to no.
inmate.
The credentials committee today
handled the contests in Louisiana and
Texas.
Perkins declared positively that the
progressives have not asked Hughes
any questions or tried to force a deh-
mite announcement from him.

delegation has arrived and presented
indications Of an insurgency move
against Perkins plea for harmony.
Thomas Murphine Of Seattle. was ell

THE OPINION OF A CITIZEN OF
GEORGIA.

Dear Sir: A man when charged
with crime is presumed to be limo
cent until his guilt is shown beyond
d reasonable doubt, but with few
people of certain class, the pre-
sumption is the other way in your
case. They must remember that you
are citizen of Georgia yet, and that
if they have such foolish idea as
to think that they can remove one
of our citizens out of the State to
try him, they certainly have several
more thoughts coming. We have
courts in Georgia competent to try
you, or any other citizen Of this
State, and we have plenty of impair
tial jurors who are just as capable
of sitting on your case as the jurors
of the North or Northwest. If
were the prosecuting attorney Of the
Federal Court of Augusta, having the
whole Government to back me up in
the prosecution of citizen, and |
had tried citizen for an alleged
offense and failed to convict him, l
would never flicker and try to change
the venue on the ground that the
Government could not get justice in
as large a district as his ground
covers. 1t would be much more rea
sonable for a citizen to make a mo-
ton for change in venue than the
Government of the United States
with plenty of money at his back.
With best wishes for your success
in all your undertakings, and with
every other good wish, | am,
Yours to the end,

LETTER FROM MANAGER OF MOUL-
TIRE PACKING HOUSE.
MOultrie, Ga, Feb. 8, 1915.

Swine Elixir Co., City.
Gentlemen: / understand that you are
putting several men on the road in this
section of the South who will call the
trade selling your Swine Lixir. You will
pardon me, but I want to insist that you
instruct your men to make special effort
to sell every man that they possibly can
in this packing house territory, which, as
you know, covers Florida, Georgia and
Alabama.
My reason for making this request is i'm
the hopes that / will get better hogs, as
from great many tests which / have
made / find that the Swine LiXir treated
hogs are much better in every way; the
meat is firm and better, and the percentage
runs much higher than it does in hogs that
were never treated with Swine LiXir. This,
you will see, is not only to the advantage
of the Packing House, but it is also of
great advantage to the farmer as in every
case where L know that hogs have been
treated regularly with Swine Lixir, / pay
from so to rs cents per hundred pounds
more than / do for hogs that were not
treated with it.
Swine Lixir certainly keeps the hogs
clean of all worms, stomach, kidney and
lung worms as well, and it is my opinion
that for that reason the Swine LiXir treat
ed hogs are worth so much more.
Yours very truly,
G. l.. BROOKS, Manager
Moultrie Packing House.
