The policy of the republican or

meeting of party leaders, has been
sumnarizeda bout as follows: A pro-
gressive program of reconstruction;
approval Of woman suffrage; opposi-
ton to government ownership of rail-
roads, but Discriminate to eliminate
the evils that existed under the old
system. A newspaper observer at the
conference said that the delegates
from the west were strong and united
in support of General Wood for presi-
dental candidate. There is friendly
feeling for Pershing but no particular
enthusiasm for him. There is no
sentiment in favor of the nomination
of Governor Hughes, and while the
feeling for exPresident Taft is warm
and hearty, "the time president

under 60 and would have the en-

FRENCH DENY ANY

Message Which Was Held Up

Paris, Jan. 1S.-The semi official
Temps, revertine to the question of
publicity of the proceedings of thes1
peace conference. says the French
censor is exercising no control over
news destined for the allied or asso-
Clated countries.
Certain dispatches sent from Paris
to American newspapers" it remarks
insinuate that the French govern
ment exercises control over all news u
relative to the conference, and over
all means Of communication with
other countries. These alIegat tons are
erroneous. Censorship is not exer-
clSed over news destined for the al
ned or associated countries. The
Frehch press can render a service to
the common cause by denouncing to
our friends across the Atlantic the
malevolent rumors by which it is at

Tribune Gets Dispatch,

JhlS statement was issued by The
New York Tribune last night:
AT 1870 a. m. Friday, Jan. II.
The New York Tribune issued a state
ment denying that it had ever re-
Ce1ved from Paris or had ever print
cd in its columns a statement re-
motely resem bling that which was re-
fefred to by Premier Clemenceau in
the Chamber of Deputies. At 2:20
n. m. there was received in The Tri-
hune office what appears to be the
message in question: Owing to the
fact that it has been made the basis
Of controversy The Tribune prints it
just as the correspondent sent it,
without exercising editorial judgment
upon the text. The message follows:
Paris, Jan. 16-Among the many
sensational rumors habituallv afoat
in the chamber of deputies there has
been one 10 the effect that President
Wilson has threatened to withdraw
American troops from Europe if Ger
tain Of his ideas are not followed by
the poac" conference. How far these
things have gone in the three con-
erences already held it is impossible
for me TO say, but that the chambers
report is pretty nearly correct there
is no doubt.
There are numerous indications
of this recent attitude on Wilson's
part, and that he is now tacitly but
definitely. if not actually, threatening
other commissioners. He has come
here to make a certain kind Of peace
and intends to do so, his supporters
say. And his supporters have frank

peace not in accord with what he con-

tation of the armistice agreement
which accepted his fourteen points
with reservations only as to the free
dom of the seas.
Now, his supporters say, some of
the Allies are unwilling to abide Ivy
the armistice terms and will seek at
each renewal to go beyond the armi-
stice terms and impose further penal
ties on the Germans. who accepted
the armistice in good faith.

Message Was Held Up.
There is nothing on the face of the
message to show when 1t was filed by
The Tribune correspondent in Paris.
but there is evidence to show that it
was not held longer than forty min
utes by the cable company on this
side. Therefore, the delay was. in
Paris which indicates that there Is .
still in existence an effective press
censorship. This was known already
in every newspaper Office, because
correspondents had ben complaining
about it. but no one had made a point
of publishing the fact.

Cattle Grower il Thus Able TO Sell

II might have been novelty a few

generally ended with the cattle tired

when they left tho farm.
But in the up-to-date farming sec
