WILSON ENDOrlStO
Five Hundred Ilepubllcann In Penn
sylvania Prefer Wilson to Candi
dates on Their Own Ticket
In a poll taken by the Evening
Telegraph of Philadelphia for prefer
ence for a Republican candidate for
the presidency, and co-operated In by
newspapers throughout Pennsylvan
ia, Borne five hundred Republicans
signified their Intention of support
ing President Woodrow Wilson de
spite the fact that he will bo the can
didate of the Democratic party. To
do so, they had to write President
Wilson's name upon the ballot.
In a recent primary election In
Ohio, President Woodrow Wilson
was easily the popular Democratic
candidate for president in the state
primaries. Commenting ' upon the
election the Cleveland Plain Dealer
says: "The strength Bhown by Presi
dent Wilson caused surprise In view
of the fact that Frank S. Monnett
ran as an anti-Wilson candidate for
delegate. The president led the tic
ket in most sections of the state."
In the New Jersey primaries, the
president showed remarkable
strength In the German districts. The
New York Evening Post commenting
on this said: "All the German dist
ricts turned out in large numbers to
vote the ballot with Wilson's name
on it. This was particularly so in
the almost exclusive German colon
ies In the Hudson City section of Jer
sey City and in the north Hudson
towns along the Palisades."
The Milwaukee Journal In com
menting on the recent primary elec
tion says: "One of the most remarka
ble circumstances in connection with
the Milwaukee county vote is the
large Indorsement given to President
Wilson on the Democratic ticket, and
the trend of the voters toward the
Democratic party.
"In the primary of 1912, when
Wilson and Clark were candidates
for the Democratic nomination, Wil
son polled In Milwaukee county 7,
850 votes and Clark 6,811, a total of
14,961. In the primary just ended
Wilson, as the candidate unopposed,
received in Milwaukee county 24,299
votes, with several precincts still
lacking. The indications are that
Wilson In the Democratic primary
this year has received 10,000 more
votes than were polled for both him
self and Clark four years ago. His
vote in this year's primary, as com
pared to his vote four years ago, Is
more than three times as great.
While the Democratic primary vote,
in which there was no contest, show
ed such a tremendous gain, the He
publican primary, in which a hot con
test was waged, showed a corre
sponding falling off.
"With the exception of Sheboygan
and Door, President Wilson made a
clean sweep of the lake Bhore, Includ
ing even Marinette, one of the Re
publican strongholds."
In the primary election In Mon
tana, the president received more
votes than all the Republican candi
dates together. The Anaconda
Standard comentlng on the election
In Montana says: "Wilson received
the heaviest vote of all the candi
dates." In the primaries In Wisconsin, the
Democratic vote with nothing to
stimulate interest In the way of a
contest. Increased twenty-seven
thousand. The vote In the Repub
lican primary represented bo small
an Increase as to be negligible. To
show the difference as an example In
lh Increase of the Democratfc votej
in various counties In Wisconsin, the,
following comparison Is made: j
Total Democratic vote In Adams j
ounty In 1912 was 159; Wllnon re
ceived in 1916, 307; total Democrat
ic vote In Ashland. 1912, was 557:
Wilson received In 1916. 906; total j
Democratic vote in Barron, 1912, j
!M; Wilson received In 1916. 1.022:
total Democratic vote In Bayfield.
It 12. 475; Wilson received In 1916.
607.
In Brown county Wilson received
"I most as many votes in the primary
h he did In the November election,:
lour years ago. Some of the coun
ties with a large Scandinavian popu
lation suported President Wilson:
very strongly In the primary. Bur-,
nett county, which cast only 62 votes;
in all for Wilson and Clark In thej
primary four ears ago, gave Wilson i
4.18 this year, - ore than either Wll-i
on or Taft received In the general
'ertlon four years ago. In Eauj
Maire county the Democratic prl- j
try vote of 754 four years ago In
eased to 1.46 4 this year,
nl Polk county the Democratic
vote in 1912 was 166, while this year
it was 1.018. In six counties Bur
iett, Florence. Oneida. Polk. Rusk
and Washburn President Wilson
received more votes In the primary
this spring than he did in the gener
al election four years ago.
In Indiana President Wilson led
the candidates. He received 160,
4 23; Vice President Marshall, a na
tive son, 154.466; Kern, another na
tive son, 151,931.
In Chicago. 1,012 precincts out of
2,168 gave Wilson for president 43
396; Sherman. 32.670; Roosevelt.
4,960; Hughes, 344.
In commenting upon the recet.t
primary election In Massachusetts,
the Springfield Republican says: i
"The pronounced apathy of the Re
publican voters was ascribed as the
cause for the poor showing made by
the Republicans at the presidential
primaries yesterday. That both
Roosevelt and antl-Roosevelt forces
suffered proportionately was plainly
shown by Tuesday's returns as com
pared with the returns of the Repub
lican party four years ago. The Dem
ocrats on the other hand showed re
newed life as the increased primary
vote plainly Indicated. Tuesday's
Democratic total for the city of
Springfield. Mass., was almost double
that of four years ago, and was al
most as large as the total Republican
vote of this year."

the
CFFECT OF OATS ON FLAVOR USING RYE FOR GREEN FEED
Interesting Experiments Conducted by
Department of Agriculture on
Feed Given Cows.
The department of agriculture re
cently reported the result of expert
ments to test the effect of oats on
the flavor of milk. These expert
ments showed that oats do not have
the beneficial effects on the flavor of
milk which many dairymen believe.
But as corn and bran constituted the
ration tested agaiiiot oats, the public
has gained the impression erroneous
ly that the department recommends
the feeding of coru and bran to Im
prove the flavor of milk. Of fifty
opinions expressed regarding ih
flavor of the samples, twenty-five pre
ferred the milk from cows fed corn
and bran. As sixteen preferred the
milk from cows fed oats and nine ex
pressed no choice, It does not appear
that either ration has any decided td
vantage over the other. There can
be no great superiority In the bran
and corn when one half of the opln
ions were either Indifferent or were
in favor of the other milk. In vie
of these experiments the department
does not recommend the feeding of
bran and corn to Improve the flavoi
of milk. Oats, corn, alfalfa, hay, cot
tonoeed meal, linseed meal, bran, glu
ten and other good feeds for dairy
cows when properly fed in reason
able amounts produce a fine-flavored
milk, but there Is no substantial evl
dence that any one of them Is su
perior to any of the others in this
respect
The relative prior of the different
feeds will determine in most cases
which are to be preferred in tnaklnt
up a ration for dairy cows.

Pure Bred Cows Best.
The pure bred cow carries a great
possibility of reproduction of the
qualities of her ancestors. In her
the power of heredity predominates
because she Is bred for that particular
line. The scrub cow Is likewise a
great example of hereditary Influence
but her tendencies are along the lines
of inferior production and a yield

The dairy cow deserves the very
best water that can be had. Do act
make her depend upon pools, running
streams and sloughs for her drink.
