Senator Wheeler, who has de-
clared his own availability II the
President does not seek q third term
and has contended Mr.. Roosevelt
should not be drafted, told reporters
he had made this decison because
he had mo desire to split up the
liberal and progressive forces Of this

party movement.
Senator Wheeler's statement caused
some disappointment among friends

The Montana Senator said he was

Senator Wheeler declared, "he would

heard many rumors to the effect
that these two groups would organ

IN My judgment, hope to be success
ful IN the election, but they would
take enough votes in the industrial
centers and the farm centers to as
sure a Republican victory"
Meanwhile, in Nebraska, James
c. Quigley, the Democratic national
committeeman, filed petitions to
place the name of the President on
the States primary election ballot,
to be held April 8. The Presidents
approval is not required.

Declaring both domestic and for

Olson said there would seem to be

Gov. Olson listed publicly owned

Experiments conducted last year bore
out this conclusion.
After the crop is in the field
growers ordinarily pay but little
attention to the beds. except as they
may need to pull additional plants tor

Rowell suggested that it will pay
growers to continue to poison the
emerging beetles as long as 1t is
necessary to save surplus plants and
then to clear out the beds so that the
immature insects will not be able to
develop.

Raleigh. April l5.-'rhc Brewers
and North Carolina Beer DiStribu-
TORS committee today launched Il new
and intensified drive IN its Clean
! lin or Close Up" campaign designed
to purge the 1891 retail outlets in
! North Carolina Of dealers who bring
diScrrdit upon the beer industry
Colonel Edgar II. Balm, chairman
nf The committee, wrote every coln-
~ board OF commissioners in the
| s;,Ir (tW0 counties where sale of
beer is Illegal CNccptcd and To the
governing bodies of all the larger
cities and towns requesting them to
enforce strictly all the laws regard
mo issuance Of licenses to sell beer
at retail.
| The boards were requested 10 scru-
tjnjZe carefully all applications for
retail beer licenses to the end that
the industry may be purged of I'M
desirable beer outlets
lie cited the 1889 statute which
prohibits the issuance Of retail beer
licenses 10 persons who have been
found guilty of liquor law violations
within the last two years prior to
filing OF the applications
He reminded that the new tax year
for beer licenses begins May | and
called To their attention the fact that
thc notable Instances last year in
which the commissioners did issue
licenses to retailers against whom
there had been convictions within the
previous two years.
In vcnturing to call this section
10 volir attention., he wrote. I've
courfcouSlv and respectfully urge you
to refuse licenses to all dealers who
can not comply with the law"
IN our investigation of beer deal
crs in North Carolina. we have found
several instances where dealers con-
victcd of liquor law violations in 1888
were rc-licenSed in 1889. We hope
that such dealers will be eliminated
in 1910 for the welfare both Of the
communities and the beer industry,
which contributes more than ten mil
lion dollars annually in taxes and
wages in this state
The letter was the latest move in
the committees fight against 4 small
minority of the beer dealers vino
violate the law and public decency.
Colonel Balm appeared to be con-
Gidcnt the letter would have the de-
sired results. He said he has received
practically unanimous cooperation
from governing boards and expects
no difficulty whatever with regard
to rc-llccnSlnG dealers barred by law
He admitted that the legal sittla-
ton is somewhat obscure in the re-
mote event that the boards should
disregard the law and issue licenses
10 dealers barred by the statute
He cited as examples of coopera-
ton. however. 81 licenses revoked
since last September. In addition, the
committee has petitioned for revOca-
ton of 26 licenses in eight other
counties. and has warned 81 dealers
N 81 counties.
"A great majority OF beer outlets
are reputable places Of business, the
state director said, and it is our in
tention to rid communities of those
undesirable places which are a null
Sance to the communities and
threat to a SlO,000,000 industry"

A spirited convention eve drive was underway today to win the Re- publican senatorial nomination in the 18th district for Anthony Pet rillo, who led the G. O. P. city ticket as candidate for tax collector last year. Party leaders were still not definitely committed io any candi- date and it was believed that sev- eral names would receive serious consideration up to the hour that the convention opens tomorrow af- ternoon at Republican .headquar- ters on Center street.
 The 18th district convention will also be held tomorrow afternoon. Thus far the only candidate in the field is Frank J. Roberts, but the names of Floyd Rasmussen the nominee two years ago, and others were being mentioned. Talk still persisted of a possible Republican, Socialist coalition in the 18th.
 Louis Ciraldi, one of the leading candidates for the 18th district nom- ination, threw his support to MT. Petrillo. All the delegates today re- ceived letters from the Italian Re- publican league, over the signature of MT. Ciraldi as secretary, urging that Petrillo be nominated.
 Rudolph Hennick has announced his withdrawal from the race. Still listed as candidates were Harold B. Post and John w. McGurk. There were rumors of an attempt to draft Alderman c. Arthur Dubois for the nomination, but he is unwilling to run.
 The Republicans will not nomi- nate their candidates for represen- tatives until next Thursday night. MT. Ciraldi may bid for one of these two nominations. Mrs. Viola Anne lung is considered leading possibil- ity, and MT. McGurk may also be in the field. He ran for representa- tive two years ago, running far ahead of his ticket.
 Angelo Possemato, prominent in veterans organizations, is being ad- vanced as candidate for repre- sentative, with indications that he will have considerable backing at the town convention.
 1 The Italian Republican league letter urging the choice of MT Petrillo in the 18th district says:
 The Waterbury Italian Republi-
 can league is certain that Anthony
 V. Petrillo is the strongest candi-
 date this convention can nominate
 as Senator for the fifteenth dis

 Anthony Petrillo is person of
 singular qualities. His character
 is a rare combination of geniality,
 kindness and tolerance. He has
 an engaging personality that wins
 and keeps friends. He has cour-
 age, common sense and sincerity.
 MT. Petrillo is not newcomer
