UNRESTRICTED men
STILL HOLD power
IN G.0,P. CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, May 24-With the
Republican National Convention at
Chicago, June 8, but little more than
two weeks away. the situation with re-
gard to the probable nominee is more
uncertain than it was several weeks
ago. None of the leading candidates
has enough pledged support to entitle
him to a second-rate mortgage on the
coveted prize, but there remain to be
chosen but 81 of the 9S4 delegates,
and next week the last of these will
be selected.
Claims of various candidates are so
conflicting that it is difficult to reach
an accurate estimate of the instructed
delegate strength of each candidate,
but close calculation is said to war
rant the assertion that 366 delegates,
free from instruction as to candidates
have been chosen, with 45S delegate
pledges distributed among Major Cen
eral Wood, who leads with AS; Sen
ator Hiram w. Johnson, of California,
9s; Governor Frank o. Lowden, of
illinois, IS; Senator Warren G. Hard
dexter, of Washington, IA, and Judge
Peter G. Prichard, of North Carolina,
IA.
Everybody Dreams.
The situation is SO complex that all
sorts of fanciful conjectures are ad-
! vanced from day to day concerning
the final outcome of the convention.
There is scarcely a Republican of
prominence in public or private life
who has not been mentioned as a
probable dark hourse," and each day
sees a new entry into this class of
| candidates. One observer writes that
the "Old Guard" never will accept Ma
jor General Wood, another that Sen
ator Johnson is not acceptable to the
conservative wing, and therefore. can
rot win, and third that the Progress
sives will bolt the convention unless
the nominee is selected from their
group. Prospective candidates. are
put forth frequently as "feelers."
Campaign tactics have been changed
from open warfare to trench fighting,
each camp digging in resolutely for
the final combat. All the Washinton
Headquarters of the candidates have
been closed, and the campaign man.
ayers have moved on to the conven

YOU MAY GO HUNGRY
UNLESS FARMER HAS
HELP-MEREDITH

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Appealing
to city jewellers to aid the farmers
harvest their crops this summer, Ed
win T. Meredith, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Sunday declared that without
such aid there is serious danger Of
a food scarcity next winter
Handicapped by a combination. of
circumstances over which he has no
control, the American farmer, the Sec
rotary insists, is doing his utmost to
meet the food needs of the country.
He absolves him of suspicion of
stacking on the job. Because, however,
of handicaps, chief among which is the
shortage of labor, the Secretary de-
ciares, the farmer is faced by the ne
cessity of curtailing his production,
unless aid is assured to him.
For this reason Mr.. Meredith urgent
ly appeals to city business organiza-
tons and student bodies throughout
the country to pledge themselves to
send large numbers to the farms this
summer and help the farmer gather
his crops.

weeks. Their vegetables and fruits
come in from day to day.
Practically everything they eat is
only a few days, or at most a few
weeks removed from the farm. When
ever there is a shortage of production
it is reflected almost instantly upon
city jewellers.
I'VE face at present the danger of
such a shortage for the next year. Cur.

mean little to the city worker If he
could not buy food except at famine
