Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. H.
Woman's party leaders at the opening
session of three-day national con
ference here considered Informally the
election policy Of the party during the
forthcoming campaign.
Leaders were uncertain as to the
form in which the Woman's party an.
nouncement of policy would be Off.
cially made. Some favored resolu.
tions definitely withdrawing support
from the Democratic administration
without formal Endorsement of other
presidential candidates or parties.
Other leaders suggested formal in.
dorsement of the parties which had
Endorsed the equal suffrage movement.
Hope for Wilson's Support.
National officers declared the party
would await action by President VIII.
son or Congress until late today.
when formal action will be taken.
Few leaders expressed hope that
the national administration would &C.
cord the desired assurances Of sup
port for national woman suffrage, but
Mrs. William Kent of California said
it was entirely within the range Of
possibility that President Wilson
would send an Endorsement Of the
Woman's party program before the ex-
ecutive session was convened.

TO PUBLISH LUSITANIA NOTE
State Department Has Germany's Con-
sent-WouId Quiet Alarms.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Announce-
ment that the last German note on the
Lusitania, submitted to the state de-
partment nearly six months ago, is to
be published, is the direct answer to
those who feared return to power of
the Won Tirpitz element in Germany,
with consequent renewal of ruthless
submarine warware, officials asserted.
The publication is to be made with
Germany's consent.
The note, declaring the killing of
Americans on the Lusitania was unin-
territorial, and expressing profound re-
greet for loss of American life, is de-
clared to be a complete guarantee in
the name of the German people against
any such submarine campaign as that
which precipitated the German-Ameri-
can crisis.

ENOUGH WILL BE LEFT TO MEET
NORMAL EXPORT REQUIRE
MENTs, GOVERNMENT Of
FICIALS ASSERT.
SENSATIONAL RISE IS DUE
TO MARKET ADJUSTMENT
Unusually Large Carry-ovcr Of Old
Wheat From Last Years Crop Will
Afford More Than Average
Carry-over Of Preceding
Five Years.

Washington, Aug. 11.-This years
wheat crop will be sufficient for the
needs Of home consumption and there
will be enough left to meet the nor
NAL export requirements.
That is the view of government Off
Gals who said the sensational rise i'm
wheat prices and corresponding in
crease in the price of flour, following
the governments last report indicat-
ing a crop about two-thirds the size of
last years, was the result of the mar
ket adjusting itself from a crop of alb
normal proportions to one of much
smaller size.
Unusually Large carry-Over.
Experts of the Department of Agri-
culture calculate 620,000,000 bushels
of wheat will be required for home
consumption this year. A crop of
654,O00,000 bushels, as forecast Aug.
l, would leave 100000 bushels of
this years crop available for export.
In addition there was an unusually
large carry-over of old wheat from last
years crop, amounting to approx
mately 160,000,000 bushels, or about
100000 bushels more than the aver
age carry-over of the preceding five
years.
With the carry-over of old wheat
and the surplus of this years estimat.
ed crop, officials believe the United
States will have at least 10000, 900
bushels available for export purposes
Heavy Export Requirements.
In normal years the export of wheat,
including flour, averages about 1876,
100000 bushels. In the first year OF
the European war, 333,000,000 bushels
were exported and last year the total
was about 250,000,000 bushels. What
export requirements will be this year
cannot be foretold, government Off.
cials say, but it is expected to be
heavy as the worlds wheat crop this
year promises to be much smaller
than last year, when it was unusually
large.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 12.-Charles E
Hughes in his address here assailed
the present administration for ineffl.
cheney, waste and extravaganza, parti.
cularly with reference to the rivers
and harbors bill recently passed by
Congress.
Il think l may say without rash
ness" Mr.. Hughes told an audience
here, that the government of the
United States is recklessly wasteful
shamefully incompetent and extrava
CANT, reproach to the intelligence OF
the people because of it's ineficiency.
II would like to have the authority
to investigate this administration for
about six months" the nominee de-
clared. "The rivers and harbors bill
known to the people as the pork barrel
bill, is largely monies wasted, as
there is no expert examination to de-
termine what expenditures are need
ed.
Log Rolling Condemned.
"On the contrary, it very largely
depends on who are the influential
men representing particular districts
and what appropriations are obtained
in this district and that district fol
this man and that man.
THAT is a matter of log rolling. II
brings the blush of shame to the
cheeks of every American. It ought
to be stopped. If I am elected presi
dent, to the best of my ability I pro
pose to stop it."
Mr.. Hughes declared the pork bar.

publican, and in 1915 the bill was re-
duced materially because of the oppo.
sition of Republicans and conscientious
Democrats.
Ridicules Appropriations.
"This year, just the other day." the
nominee continued, Congress passed
a rivers and harbors bill of some $42,-
100000. confess l don't know why
such measure should receive ap.
proval. We have heard a great deal
lately of the power of the executive
leadership. It has been powerfully ex-
erted, why cannot it be exerted to save
the public purse from being looted in
the interest of these ridiculous appro-
priations?"
-Four years ago our opponents ar
raigned the Republican party for ex.
travagance and waste and reckless ex-
penditure. Then they proceeded to be
more lavish in appropriations than the
Republican party had been. They ar
raigned the Republican party for lack
of businesslike administration and they
proceeded to be absolutely profligate
in their appropriations
For Clear Course In Mexico.
The Mexican situation was discussed
at length. The administration, said
Mr.. Hughes, by vacillation, weakness
and wrongheadedness, had brought US
very close to grave difficulties there.
The one clear course we had in Mexi-
co was to protect the rights of Ameri.
can citizens.
