to have two direct and definite
results. True, there are numerous
sidepaths and changes in the main
route are liable to occur,
"On the republican side, start
cut OH what course you may, there
seems to be but one logical end

candidate are insistent that the
country demands a business man;
the friends of another say the de-

experience in and around the seat

other think he ought to receive the
nomination because of some imagin-
ary wrong from the hands of the ad

that a man who for six years has
persistently pursued the office ought
to be rewarded.
''In the case Of all prospective
nominees you run into more or
less serious stumbling blocks. In
the case of only one-that of
General Pershing-all objections
seems to melt away when the great

upon him. He seems to be the only

by them, but many instances when
the police have sought TO learn the
movements Of suspected cars. they have
been unable to get accurate reports.
This has been particularly the case
in numerous extensive cloth robberies
here. In the last six months cloth
valued at $4,000 has been stolen here
by thieves sssing automobiles and the
cloth stolen in the previous six months
was valued at $75, 900. The decrease,
detectives believe, is due to the closer
watch being kept upon the movements
Of automobiles and motortrucks and
now they are determined on even
stricter vigilance.
In their efforts to stop the theft of
automobiles the detectives are working
out with Superintendent Of Police Mills
a plan to establish stations along the
main roads leading from the city, at
which a policeman will be constantly
on duty. 1t will be his business to
scan all passing automobiles and IL his
suspicious are aroused he will stop and
