Dense Clouds of Silence Rise from Party Comps
 to Befog Election Skies
By BYRON PRICE tChief of Bureau. the Associated Press, Washington.)


 Although the air is blue with talk about 1886, a scientific analysis would show that certain sound effects arc conspicuously absent
 In their place float great cloud banks of silence. In fact, the total cubic volume of silence is almost as far out of ordinary as is the nose itself.
 Furthermore, an unusual amount of quiet between the thunder crashes promises to persist right through the campaign. The prospective dead areas" hover over both parties, and vary widely in their characteristics
 Has anyone heard Al Smith talk ing about what he intends to do in 1886? Or John w. Davis? Or Her. bert Hoover, in case the Republican nomination goes left-wing? Or Will liam E. Borah, in case the national convention is dominated by Hoover? Senators Glass and Byrd of Vir- ginia have announced they are for the Democratic ticket, but does any, one expect either of them to take the lead in noise- making for Roose- yelt next year? Has Senator Tydings of Maryland even whispered about the reelection campaign?
 What has become of Reed Shoot? And Charles G. Dawes? Where does Charles D. Hilles stand on the ques- ton of party nominee?
 What are the Farmer Labor party in Minnesota and the LaFollette Pro- gressive party in Wisconsin saying about national tickets? ALL SHAY
 Amid all the talk about Presiden- tial possibilities, the lack of acknow- ledged candidates is astonishing. A novice at politics might suppose that no one at all intended to run next year.
 MT. Roosevelt says nothing what ever about running. That is the least surprising part of the story, however, because Presidents cutomarily do not announce their desire to be re-elect- ed, and everyone takes it for grant, ed they will run.
 On the Republican side the noise all can be summed up thus:
 Former President Hoover is quoted as saying that sometimes such a thing as running for President "has to be done" but a Hoover aide de- nies the story
 Senator Borah says T can't stay I won't when asked whether he will enter the Presidential primaries.
 Governor Landon of Kansas stead fastly gives the impression he is too busy to thing about national poli- tics.
 Col. Frank Knox of Chicago makes speeches everywhere. but refuses to discuss candidates.
 Senator Vandenberg of Michigan shies away from Presidential talk, hinting he thinks it would not be in good taste.

CHICAGO, November 29.-The vast
Chicago milk market was at stake to-

the Pure Milk Association for Its
$4,000 members.

sent, ends tomorrow.
In the background, avowedly ready
10 form new cooperative if there
sre enough cancellations, were a
group of dairymen who have asked
Circuit Judge Edward D. Shurtleff
of Woodstock, Ill, to head their pro-
posed new organization.
Jonn P. Case, Naperville, Ill,
president Of the P. M A., said,
--latest figures showed that only 739
members had cancelled their con-
tracts. Of this number approximate
ly 500 members have not delivered

pect cancellations will not reach

Judge Shurtleff, predicted, how
ever, that the P. M. A. membership
will be split in two" If enough
members break away, he said, the
new cooperative would be formed.
The fight for leadership developed
O month and a half ago when dis
satisfied dairymen, demanding $3.50
hundredweight for their product, as
against the P. M. A. member price
of SITS, attempted to dry up Chi
cago's supply with strike.
Failing, the dessenters undertook to
