speech in Indiana, made from the
platform on the court house steps
Thursday afternoon.
He stated that il was due 10 this
republican clique that the people of
today were paying such exorbitant
prices for the mere necessities of
life. They have allowed the cold
storage kings" he said. Ito regulate
the supply and demand Of food
stuffs. Instead of throwing the prod
uce on the market to meet the de-
mand they have only supplied the
market with part of the demand,
keeping the remainder of the food
stuffs in cold storage until they
would bring an incredibly high
price"
But" he continued. with the
next administration there Will be a
serious change for the better. Prices
will come down. They will be forced
to. for we will pass a law allowing
these cold storage kings 10 hold their
PRODUCTS in cold storage just so long
and no longer. In this way there
will be no such thing as having the
demand greater than the supply
and prices will be bound 10 go
down" Cheers rose from the great
crowd which had assembled 20 hear

they had Quilted down a seemingly
republican voice piped up

law" il asked.

LOWDEN FAVORED
IN ILLINOIS VOTE
(Bv United Press)

Chicago, April 12.-The red flare
of old time political enthusiasm blazed
across the skies of Illinois today while
last minute rallies were held before
the presidential primary tomorrow.
General Leonard Wood and Gov.
Frank 0. Lowden are the favorites,
with Governor Lowden picked as the
winner. On the Democratic side,
there is no definite contest. Several
candidates were nominated, but their
names were withdrawn before the
lists were closed.
Under the Illinois system of voting,
the committeeman selected at tomor-
rows primary will chose the delegates
to the state convention, which will in
turn select delegates to the national
convention. In the main, the primary
will show merely the popular prefer
ences of Illinois Democrats and Re-
publicans, but will not determine the
way the Illinois vote is to be cast at
the national conventions of the two
parties.
