That, added to this years prospective production. makes available about S56,00O, 900 bushels of wheat which, according to officials, would be ample to meet do- mestic requirements and Ieave sur plus for export
 The condition of the corn crop was reported not so good as a year ago, but the area planted shows an increase of 671. GOO acres. Indications are the crop will be 13S, 900, 900 bushels smaller than last years but IS, 100000 bushels larger than the five year average.

COAL PRICES WILL
 DROP WITH AMPLE
 GAR SUPPLY, CLAIM
LRepubIiean A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON, July 9-Widely di- Vergent opinions as to the nations coal supply were heard by the inter state commerce commission today at :ts hearing on the advisability of modi- flying it's order requiring preference to be gwen coal mines east of the Missis- sippi, in the assignment of open top cars Some witnesses said the coun- try was experiencing the worst coal shortage in it's history, while others declared with equal finality that there was no shortage.
 The commission was asked to both modify it's order, originally issued for 30- day period ending July 21, so as not to give so much of a monopoly on cars to the coal mines, and also to make the order more drastic and con- tinue it for longer than 30 days. There was no indication by the commission of it's probable action and the hearing will be continued tomorrow.
 Carl Jackson, member of the Wis eonsin railway commission, urged that the commission amend it's order so as to give preference to coal mines hav- ing contracts to supply Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota and northern Michigan. The movement of 4000 cars daily to this territory must be had until November, he as serted. in order ito save the territory from freezing.
 ASenFS or puDlic utlIllleSs ScatIereu through the eastern half Of the coun- try. also asked that preferential treat ment be given their companies so that a winter reserve stock might be ac- cumulated in the next few months.
 Their contention that a coal short age exists was the opposite of the testimony given by George H. Cush ing of the American Wholesale Coal association. who said present produc- ton was equalling consumption. MT. Cushing expressed the opinion that fair price for coal at the mine would be $5.50 a ton and John Moore, rep resenting thet Ohio miners, added that with an adequate car supply the cost would fall to $4.
 In the course of the hearing, Chair man Clark read into the record a letter written on the stationery of the Reeves Coal and Dock company of Mime apolis. offering to sell coal, already on the cars and in transit for SIS ton.
 MT. Cushing, asked his opinion 3e- garding such prices, replied:
 That is a matter for the depart ment of justice"

Stephens Denies
 Suffrage Proves
 Failure In Calf.
Republican A. ?. Leased Wire1


 SACRAMENTO, Cal July 9-In com pliance with request from Mrs. Carrie Catt, national suffrage leader Gov ernor William B. Stephens has sent telegram to Governor H. A. Roberts of Tennessee denying the statements of Annie Book of Los Angeles to the Ten ueSsee legislature that suffrage has proven a failure in California.
 The governors telegram follows:
 Politics are cleaner, government better administered and the moral vel fare of the people far more intelligently and effectively promoted in California because of woman suffrage. State ments to the contrary are not justified by facts and results. Equal suffrage in California has justified itself in every way, no exceptions. It was carried by about 5000 in 1910. It would carry now by about 1OO, 000 if voted upon by men alone; if voted upon by both men and women it would carry by 30O,000."

WESTERN STATES MAY BE BATTLE GROUND FOR COX
Democratic Nominee Favors Launching of Campaign In West, Possibly in Cali fornia - Conference with National Committee At tracts Much Interest
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

DAYTON, Ohio. July 9-That the West may be developed into one of the chief battle grounds early in the na- tional political campaign was the in ference drawn from today's develop ments here
 Gov. James NJ Cox, Democratic can didate for president stated that many requests that he open the campaign in the West have been received, and in his talk with newspaper men, the gov ernor left the impression that he at least, was interested in the proposition of an early invasion of the West, if not in fact favorable to it. He stated, however, that campaign arrangements are in the hands of the national com mittee and that he could say nothing definite until he has conferred with the committee.
 Receives Western Delegation
 w. w. Blain, president of the Corn Palace, Mitchell, s. D., headed g dele gation that called on the governor to- day urging him to accept an invitation to speak at the festival the dates of which are Sept. 27 to Oct. :. Charles E. Morris, the governors private sec . retary. telegraphed from San Francisco that he was being besieged by Ca1ifor- mia delegations urging that the cam paign be opened in that state. MT. Morris told the governor that Califor- mia Democrats are certain they can carry the state far him.
 Considerable interest now is center ing in the conference of the national committee with the governor, July 20 It has not been definitely established whether the meeting will be held at the governors home at Trails End, or in Columbus, but the governor said he would wire Chairman Cummings that the plans made for the committee meeting here seemed satisfactory to him. The date and place of holding the official notification ceremonies are expected to be determined at the con- ference. Governor Cox intimated that some time between Aug. Is and % would be a satisfactory date for the notification.
 Goes to Columbus Monday
 The fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt has stopped over for a 24-hour rest al Glenwood Springs, Colo, makes il probable that he will not reach Ohio for a conference with his running mate before Monday. In such case, the gov ernor said, the conference probably will take place in Columbus, as he ex- poets to go there Monday to look after matters of the executive office.
 Messages continued to come in today in a constant stream. The governor stated that a number were from mer whom he had pardoned from the penf- tentiary and who were "making good in the world" The governor has not found time yet to answer many of the congratulatory telegrams and letters He said he expected tonight to wire Senator Reed of Missouri his express sion of thanks for the courteous mes sage received from the Missouri sen- ator.
 The date for the civic demonstration planned by the Dayton chamber ot commerce has been changed to July 90

 Blancett was convicted of the mur- der of Armour on October g, 1916 while the two were on a motor trip from Denver to the Pacific coast In a last message to his attorney, BIan- cett said:
 There is no other story to tell I told the truth on the witness stand | am going before my Maker. What told the court was the truth and have nothing else to say. Goodbye"
 Rev. H. Cullen, prison chaplain. sent the following telegram last night to Governor LarrazoIo at Las Vegas:
 Tn my opinion there is serious doubt that justice has been done Blancett think eleventh hour clemency can properly be extended His character has been grossly misrepresented for there is no degeneracy in him. The doubts have been consistently decided against him under most reprehensibIe surroundings and, l am told in the face of the common rules. Please give him the benefit of the doubt as to- morrow may be too late"
 The governor replied:
 T have studied this case consci- entiously and reIigiously. I am sorry. but let justice take it's course. God save Blancett and forgive him
