Republican Candidates
Open Final Campaigns
for Delegates Votes

CHICAGO. May 81 (by the Associ.
ated Press).-Candidates for the re-
publican nomination for the presi-
dency today opened their final drives
to capture the 493 votes that spell
victory in the convention, which opens
here one week from next Tuesday,
The last of the 984 delegates who
will sit in the convention were se-
lected yesterday. when Vermont re-
publicans met and chose eight unin-
structed delegates.
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, present
returns show, will enter the conven-
tion with more instructed votes than
any other candidate, but his total of
153 is less than one-third Of the num-
ber necessary to win the nomination
The division of strength among the
large field of "favorite sons" practi-
cally precludes any possibility Of a
nomination on the first ballot. Even
the most optimistic campaign man.
ayers here are not claiming victory
before the third ballot, and the more
conservative party leaders predict the
break will not come before the fifth
or sixth at the earliest.
Many seats Contested.
One big factor which may upset
managers predictions is vet
to be dealt with! One hundred and
forty-five contests have been or will
be filed. more than one-seventh Of
all the seats in the convention being
at stake, and the national committee
which meets here Monday to decide

House Men Leave Meeting.

preparation Bill.
The House and Senate conferees on
a District of Columbia appropria-

The House and Senate conferees on
the District Of Columbia appropria-
tion bill today again failed to agree.
The House conferees rejected the
proposal of the Senate representatives
| for a continuation of the half-and-
half principle OF financing the Dis
trict, with a modification allowing the
nearly 34.000.0o0 surplus to the credit
of the District in the federal Treasury
to be used without being matched dol
lar for dollar with funds appropriated
by Congress-. T
A suggestion made by. Senator Curtis,
on District appropriations, to substitute
for the ffty-fifty proportion of contri-
button q fixed proportion OF sixty fOr the
District and forty for the United states,
with the District tax rate not to exceed
per cent instead of Ia per cent levy
as at present, was not supported py the
Senate conferees.
The House conferees are not agreed
either, upon such a proposition. Tne
attitude Of Representative Cramton OF
Michigan is that the District should
pay two thirds of the expenses ana the
federal government one-third.
The Curtis proposal was for only one
wear. after which the District budget
should be made up and then tenta-
tive tax rate fixed which would cover
so per cent of the amount necessary
to make the desired improvements.
The House conferees left the meet
ing today with the understanding
that the chairman of the House sub
committee on District appropriations
would introduce a continuing resolu-
tion which would make available for
the fiscal year beginning July next
the same appropriation as for the
present fiscal year. This would mean
that new schoolhouses, street i'm
uroyements and increases in salaries
FOR firemen. policemen and other Dis
trict employees could not be paid.

Meredith declared the average price
Of all crops on Oct. l was II per cent
lower than the same day, 1919.
"In the spring Of 1920, when they
were planning their operations for the
present season, the farmers were con-

There was . shortage Of farm
labor estimated at 50 per cent. The
cost of everything the farmers had
to buy was exceedingly high and
there was uncertainty as to the fu-
ture price of farm products. All these
things added to the hazard Of the un-
dertaking, but the farmers did not
hesitate. They realized the response

future food requirements Of the ma
ten. and, in spite of difficulties, they
succeeded in producing one Of the lar

duce, Meredith recalled.

plants have reached the agricultural
department from farmers who have
been denied credit for essential pro-
ductive purposes while the producers
of expensive luxuries and the dealers
in them have been accommodated.
II do not intend to imply that these
bankers have maliciously chosen to
handicap agriculture by the refusal of
credit which they might have extend
ed, but rather that they yielded to
the temptation of larger immediate
income from loans for less fundamen-
tai purposes. 1t is more than prob
