If the Republican leaders have the
notion that they can nominate JUS
tice Charles E. Hughes for President
without complete and definite I'M
Outstanding with the Progressive Ma
tional Convention, they will have to
revise their plans. Hughes will be
fatty rejected by the third party
men unless he makes clear, without
any pussy-footing or the use of wea-
sci words, his position upon the para
mount questions of foreign policy
and military preparedness.
If the Republican convention sees
fit to nominate some other than
Hughes out of the favorite son group
no matter what his name or upon
what platform he is placed, Colonel
Roosevelt will lead a third party
movement again.
Thees two things were made en-
phatically clear Monday after there
had been several gatherings of in
coming Progressive leaders and a
number of conferences had been held
in the headquarters of Chairman
George W. Perkins.
The unmistakable trend toward
Hughes in the Hobbies and headquar-
tiers continues and for that reason
the explicit utterances from the Pro-
gressives' captains are all the more
valuable. Through some unaccount-
able channel the erroneous statement
has been sent forth that the Su-
preme Court Justice is the only
member of the Republican group of
candidates who will be acceptable to
Colonel Roosevelt This may be re-
sponsible for the enthusiasm with
which the suggestion of his nomina-
ton is received by the patronage
hungry element of the party which
desires to win, even if the devil him.

Four persons, including a woman,
were wounded by an unknown ne
gro in Lexington's fashionable resi-
dence section Saturday following an
attempt by the unknown to snatch
the purse of Mrs. A. A. Robertson,
for whom he had been moving grass.
The negro probably will die as the
result of wounds inflicted by police
officers. His victims will recover, it
is believed.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading
newspaper of Chicago and perhaps
the leading newspaper of the nation
says Tuesday that a coalition has
been formed against Hughes which
has grown to over 500 delegate
votes. 1t will assert that Cummins
and La Toilette, with their delegates
have joined the movement which
commits the delegates to select, in
lieu of Hughes, some one of the ia
vorite sons, regardless of the atti-
tude of Roosevelt. In the Iowa
meeting today Senator Kenyon made
a speech against Roosevelt, and he
is Cummins' spokesman. Dark
horse talk still swirls around Sena-
tor Harding, of Ohio, as compro-
mise candidate.

Health Board Changes Plan
to Have Work Done by LO-

A government investigator from
the office of the United States de-

c.. will make the survey of housing
and sanitary conditions in South
Bend, according to announcement
made Wednesday morning by DR.. G.
s. Bosenbury. secretary of the city
board of health. The announcement
follows the receipt of a letter from
Surgeon Gen. Rupert Blue, head Of
the u. S. public health service,
promising such an investigator TO the
local department Owing to the fact
however, that the government men
are at present engaged in similar
surveys in other cities, it will be i'm
possible to bring them TO South Bend
before September or October, unless
efforts on the part of DR.. Bosenbury
through Rep. Barnhart and Sen.
Taggart TO hasten their coming are
successful.
If the survey be made by govern
ment Investigators it Will be done
largely at government expense, with
the exception of the transportation
and incidental expenses of the in
VestigatOrs and such expenses as
would be connected with the prep
aration of the report for publica-
ton. The actual publication would
be paid for by the government.
Similar Surveys Successful.
Similar surveys by federal officers
have been successfully made in Chi
cago and Richmond, Ind, in this
section of the country, TO say nothing
OF numerous others in more distant
cities. They have proved satisfac-
tory and it is the belief of the local
health board and others interested
in this most important movement,
that a survey made by an expert will
be much more satisfactory than one
which might be made by local
workers not fully informed on the
various phases Of the numerous
problems involved. This conviction
contrary TO that at first entertained
by the health board. was reached
