Hay at $500 Il ton is II costly feed.

Mr.. HUGHES AND THE PEOPLE.
Since the result of the primary cleo
tion in Oregon was announced, and
with it the fact that there is strong
current OF Hughes sentiment among
the people, the campaign has about
lost it's interest except as between
Hughes and Roosevelt. So long as
he occupies his place upon the bench
Hughes must of course observe dis
Greet silence. though had he in mind
the absolute refusal Of the republican
nomination, he could have SO indi-
Gated many months ago. II there
had been no chance Of his acceptance
Of nomination rendered him in a
sufficiently unanimous spirit by his
party, he would certainly have stop
ped the trend Of sentiment in his dir
ection. His silence has permitted
this sentiment to grow until now It is
dominating the party. Hughes is the
one man the democrats are most
afraid Of for he is the one man who
can command the whole vote Of
united party.
