Too Far Away

cate the committee this year is
more intent upon pleasure than

San Francisco is farther away

United States.
A convention that far away will
cause many to miss the inspiration

pie will miss the personal contact

The President and a Third Term
President Wilson could have said
go easily in his letter to the jack
son day banqueters that he was not
a candidate for third term.
But he didn't.
After urging the Senate to pass
the pact; after chiding the Republic
cans for their failure to make it law;
after calling attention to the dread
full conditions resulting over the
world from Americas failure to ac-
cept the League, he about faces
about and wants its ratification
postponed for fourteen months that
the people may pass upon it.
The President asked the people
before the last Congressional elec-
ton to support his efforts for the
League, and the people answered
by making both the House and
Senate Republican. And if he per-
sists the people will make the Ex-
ecntiye Republican.
But if the League is made the is
sue, who will be the party's candi-
date? There can be hut one an

idea; he has advocated and defend
ed it; he has championed it, and
he is the logical candidate. There

Prairie Curtails Run in Hewitt

Commencing this morning the Prai-

buyer of crude oil in the Hewitt field,
will curtail its run 80 per cent. This
means that operators in the Hewitt

dispose Of but 70 per cent of their
production to this company.
This action follows orders which
