tha aeaslon of tha subcommittee on
arrangements for tha party national
convention, discussed political ques
tions, Including the possible candi
dacy of Colonel Roosevelt for tha
republican nomination for president.
"All the Information I have la to the

Statement af Preerreeslvee.
'In tha statement Issued by the pro
rreeatve national committee It was made
plain that any reasonably satisfactory
man would be acceptable aa the republi
can nominee. They Instated that they
meant Just what they said and we will
take tha statement at Its face value. I
think we will be able to nominate a man
who will be aatlafactory to all elemont
of the party and that our candidate will
be elected.
"In retard to Justice Hughes, no one
knows just what Ma attitude la today
toward the presidency. In disctisainf the
subject with a friend In ISi:, Juatlee
Hughes aaJd, when he went on the United
Ktstea supreme court bench he took the
veil and renounced the world.
"There la no man bit enough to refuse
the presidency. In my opinion. If he ware
nominated without hla consent I have
no Idea what he would do."
I at term Primary Law deeded.
Chairman Illllea called attention to tha
conflicting- provisions of the direct pres
idential primary lawa adopted by the
different eta t fa and expressed the opin
ion that It would result In much uncer
tainty and confusion. There will be MS
delegate la the next republican national
convention, and of thla number OAS, or
about 61 per cent, will be chosen by
dlreot primary.
"There Is an urgent need for uniform
presidential prlmarlea In all tha states.
In my opinion." said Chairman Illllea.
"I think a model should be prepared, em
bodying: the beat featurea of the varloua
state lawa, and that the primary ahoUld
be held la every state on the eame date.
I think some action on the subject will
be taken at the next national conven
tion. ' "The primary lawa moat discussed are
those of Ohio, where all delegates are
required to make a fl rat and second
choice for preatdent before they are
elected; In Minnesota and Wisconsin
where there la disaatlafactlon over the
method of Inat ruction; In California,
where all the delegates are elected at
large, while the republican party bae
been against the application -of tha unit
rule alnce W, and In Texaa, where our
party rule fixes the number of delegates
st twenty-four this year, and. the state
law provides for tha election of forty."

Trouble.Between
Canal Officials
is Not Serious
WASHINOTON. Jan. .-Differences of
opinion between Major Oeneral Ooethala,
governor of the Tanama canal sons, and
Brigadier General Edwards, commanding
the military forcei there, both of whom
are on their way to the United Statea
are believed by War department offl
clala to be minor and easily atiaceptlble
to adjustment. The disagreement Is
based, officials believe, largely upon the
quarters assigned the military forces at
Panama.
The disagreement was not the reason
for summoning Generals Goethala and
Edwards to Washington, It was said, the
principal reason being that their teatl
money la wanted by congressional com
mittees investigating military and naval
affairs.

scrofula or rheumatism. It may be re
lieved, but it cannot be removed by aim
ply local treatment. It breaks down the
