WASHINGTON. March H.
American consumption Of wheat

Reserve wheat held in American
mills and elevators shows a loss of

Col. Bills, Lincoln,
Believes Presidents
Manifesto a Loser

Lincoln, Oct. 2S.-(Special. 1.-The
statement of President Wilson, call
ing upon the voters of the country
to vote the democratic ticket for
patriotic reasons, has set Chicago
wild" according to Col. c. ]. Bills
of Lincoln, who was in Chicago
when the manifesto of the president
was made public, and who arrived
in Lincoln this morning.
1T appears to be the feeling
among the people there that the
president has made the mistake of
his career. They feel that the state
ment was a direct thrust at the pa
triotism of not only every patriotic
republican in congress who has been
supporting the president, but also
at the men and mothers at home
who have sent their republican sons
into the trenches in France to help
a democratic administration win the
war for worldwide peace.
Democrats were very 10th to say
very much" said Colonel Bills, "but
it was easy to see that they were
greatly disappointed in the presi-
dent and his attitude"
Colonel Bills believes that the
manifesto of the president will lose
him every closely contested state
in the union and will insure a re-
publican congress.
