Yet the campaign against this
worm has been more centralized
than ever before.
Last year" says Huber, 1--WE had
difficulty in finding egg masses. This
year it is possible 20 find fifty or
sixty egg masses a day in some OF
the infested fields. More eggs could
only mean more larvae"
The only preventive against the
borer. thus far found, has been burn
ing and cleaning UP the corpstalks
in early spring. Those farmers who
did so this spring Will probably have
a lighter infestation. Huber believes.

leaders Of all three parties at present
in the field are looking to the East
as a greater battle-ground than any
one could have suspected two weeks
ago.
The Coolidge organization frankly
expected the Democrats to nominate
some one who would have made the
East solidly Republican and who
would have permitted them to give
their undivided attention to the
central stretches Of the country and
the Far West. The Republicans had
headquarters here in New York
with a small working force in charge.
With the nomination of Mr.. Davis.
however, plans suddenly were
changed. The Republicans already
have leased two floors of the build
ing at No. West 46th street, and
are likely to take more space as the
campaign progresses. 1t still Is pro-
posed to have great headQuarters"
in Chicago, but the establishment in
New York will be almost equally
pretentious, and Chairman Butler ex-
poets to spend a large part of his
time here.
La Toilette May Come East.
The Democrats are certain to have
their headquarters in the East and
feel that their success will lie in
capturing some of the eastern states
with large electoral votes to add to
the solid South" They are hopeful
at the same time that Senator La
Toilette may cut so deeply into Re-
publican ranks in the West as to give
the Democrats a fighting chance in
states normally Republican. In any
event, the West is regarded as
lighting place for the. Republicans
and the radicals, the Democrats being
perfectly willing to act as residuary
legatees of what is left when the
battling Is done.
Candidate Davis will spend much
Of his time around New York. Presi-
dent Coolidge will remain in Wash
ington. Mr.. Davis probably will
make a swing through the West but
will not devote any too much time to
that task.
The interest of the campaign will
lie largely on the East. Even the
La Toilette people are talking about
making a showing here.

NEW YORK. July 17.-Refiected
glory is no treat to Bill Nye. personal
bodyguard of the Democratic nominee
for the presidency, but it has begun
to be embarrassing for both Nye and
John w. Davis
Nye has escorted kings and en-
perors, premiers, and ambassadors,
princes and Presidents, but this is the
first time the public has taken him
for the principal figure of the en-
tourage.
He was pointed out as John w.
Davis as he rode UP Fifth avenue
with the nominee, and Capt Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, hero of the
Merrimac, had the chagrining expe-
rience, only this week, of shaking
hands with Nye and addressing him
as Mr.. Davis.
Nye was standing in front Of the
home Of Frank L. Polk. where Mr..
Davis has been making headquarters,
chatting with newspaper men, when
Capt. Hobson alighted from a taXicab
at the curb. He thought 1t was Mr..
Davis having one of his conferences NJ enceis
hands heartily.
Mistaken by HObsOn.
Capt Hobson apologized for inter
rupting the conference, extended Mr..
Davis" pile of papers he wanted the
nominee to consider, shook hands,
bowed and turned to walk away, say
ing as he went Goodbye and good
luck to you, Mr.. Davis"
Nye was too f1abbergasted to reply,
and Capt. Hobson got half block
away before a newspaper man over
took him.
Nye resembles the nominee strong
ly. He has white hair and parts 1t
much after the manner of the nomi-
nee. He is of the same height and OF
the same build and complexion. Even
as Mr.. Davis has the presidential air,
Nye has the senatorial air" from his
long years of association with gov
ernment dignitaries.
When the party goes on tour IL
will be a toss up which the country
picks for the Democratic candidate.
Went With Taft.
Nye went to the White House as a
secret service bOdyguard when ffesl-
dent Taft occupied it. He remained

was declared, when he was intrusted
with the organization of a secret
service in the State Department AS
