M'COMBS PLEADS WITH MOOSE
Baker arrived here late today from
Washington bringing a platform
drafted by President Wilson and di
rect word from 'the president hhnself
that he desires the renomination of
Vice ' President Marshall.
After surveying the situation Gov
ernor Morehead announced tonight
he would allow his name to go be
fore the convention as a candidate
for the vice presidential nomination.
St. Louis, June 13. National Chair
man McCoinbs sent the following
telegram today to Bainuridge Colby,
the progressive leader of New York,
in reply to a statement of Mr. Colby
suggesting that the progressives
should go slowly in determining their
future course and to do every justice
to President Wilson in their consideration.
"I have seen your statement. Col
onel Roosevelt appears to have sent
hia former and enthusiastic followers
stumbling to destruction. The pro
gressive democrats cordially and sin
cerely offer them safety."
Three names are under considera
tion . today for the chairmanship.
They are: United States Senator
Willard Salisbury - of Delaware,
Homer H. Cummings of Connecticut,
vice chairman of the present com
mittee, and Colonal E." M. House of
New York.
President Wilson has indicated that

him. " i
Wilbur- W. Marsh, 'national com
mitteeman from Iowa, is most likely
to be chosen as treasurer to succeed
Rolla Wells. Henry Morgenthau
probably will again be chairman of
the finance committee.'' " "
The new national committee meets
on Saturday and expects to select the
chairman at that time. The commit
tee men generally agree , that they
would prefer to name as leader one
of their own members. Mr. Cum
mings is .almost certain to be the
man if the chairman is taken from

Wilbur W.' Marsh of Waterloo, U.,
led the fight for the Clark forces
froth'i'owa and. th middle western
states at the Baltimore convention
four years ago and his selection, it
was urged, would further heal any
scars that may remain from that
contest.
Marshall For Vice President
Prospects of a fight over a vice
presidential nominee diminished to
day as incoming delegations lined up
behind ; Vice President Marshall.
Some of the candidates themselves
declared they would not attempt to
oppose him. '
The situation as to the Roger
Sullivan boom, which neither Sullivan
himself nor his supporters took seri-
nncl. ia tVii
clared that if Sullivan s friends per
sisted he would take the field as a
vice presidential candidate with the
avowed purpose of dividing the Illi
nois delegation and thus aid in killing
off the Sullivan boom.
- Governor Morehead of Nebraska,
another vice presidential candidate,
reached St. Louis today and said he
had started in to diagnose his own
case and find out whether his boom
was healthy. The governor said if he
found it waning in strength he would
withdraw before nominations were
made.
Supporters of William J. Bryan j.n
the Nebraska delegation said today
that an effort made to have Judge W.
H. Thompson, a Bryan member of
the-delegation, make the speech nomi
nating Governor Morehead, - had
failed.-... ' - ', ''
There was some talk today of a
enalitinn. nf western states to secure

DEMOCRATS MAD AT
CHOICEJF HUGHES
Unterrified in Dumps Because Ke
- publicans Are Gettine Pro
; gressive Support.
BEY AN TO REMAIN QUIET
BY EDGAR C. SNYDER.
St. Louis, Mo., June 13. (Special
Telegram.) The democrats, and
there are quite a' bunch of the unter
rified in town, are mad because the
republicans . took Hughes off the su
preme court bench to run for presi
dent. They are also mad because Colo
nel Roosevelt deserted them in their
hour of need. And they do not hesti
tate to express their profound dis
gust over the situation.
These good democrats feet that the
republicans put one over on them and
they are vociferous in their expres
sions of "outrageous political ethics,"
whatever that may mean.
Mr. Bryan, of our state, caused
great relief to the leaders, when short
ly before noon today he announced
that he had no intention to throw any
monkeq wrenches into the convention
machinery. He declared he would not
seek to enter the convention by proxy,
if such a thing in a nation is permis
sible, and he further declared that he
would not urge any . inks unsatis
factory to the leaders. So much for
our distinguished citizen. I will have
something to print about ex-Sccretary
Bryan and his relationship with the
Nebraska delegation later.
Robbing the Judiciary.
When Representative Hull of Ten
nessee, suggested that a plank dis
qualifying the federal judiciary from
elective offices was suggested, it was
snapped up eagerly by the democracy
here assembled in the "Mound City,"
fittingly named for a democratic con
vention. The brave boys of the demo
cracy went after Hull's suggestion
like a bass after a, minow and ran
down stream full length of the line
until hauled up short. Somebody re
minded them that they themselves, in
this very town, in 1904, had ravaged
the bench by depriving it of Judge Al
ton B. Parker and nomrnating him for
their president. .
.But. the democrats refused to give
up their idea; they insisted there was
a differences between the state ju
diciary and the supreme court of the
United States. .
Going To Congress.
Today another angle appears to the
proposition. They now intend to take
the question up in congress as soon
as they return to the national capital.
; A joint resolution will be introduc
ed, according to present plans, propos
ing an amendment to the constitution
of theJJnited States to be submitted
to the states for ratification provid
ing, that no. justice ut ;the,upreme
wan nau ujc avauaoie xor eieciice
office until five years after leaving
the bench.' Six democratic senators
last night, in a conference approved;
this idea;-..f3 ' h -.sV . ,
, Democrats Discouraged.
So much for this.. There is a feel
ing of depression among the rank and
file over the announcement of so
many leading progressives of their
adherence - to Mr. Hughes; That
George W. Perkins, George Von L.
Meyer, Senator Cummins, Henry
Allen and others should come out for
Mr. Hughes is very discouraging.
They fear that it will spoil their plans
to invite wholesale recruiting to the
democratic ticket from the ranks of
the "bull moosers."
There is divided counsel in the lead
ership over the course to be pursued
in the speeches before the convention
and the statements to be given out
as to the personal attacks on Hughes
and Fairbanks.
Senator Stone', in his statement
last night, dealt in personalities to a
degree which some of the leaders
thought unwise, while others ap
proved his utterances.
. Bryan in Press Box.
I like to write about Mr. Bryan, the
late secretary of state, because he is
a Nebraskan. Mr. Bryan, whom they
all have a profound admiration for.
although off the political map for the
time being, will remain unobtrusively
in the press box. This will be the
first democrat convention- in twenty
years that he has not dominated.
Three times out of the last five na
tional conventions he was nominated
for president. In 1904 he was not
nominated, but hj was recognized as
a powerful factor in the party when
Alton B. Parker was nominated
against Bryan's advice and was over
whelmingly defeated. What happened
in 1912 is remembered.
Price to Name Morehead.
Locally the situation is interesting
because Governor Morehead's name
is going to be presented to the con
vention by Mr. Price. That was de
cided on today at the conference,
which eventuated in nothing after
three hours of balloting and talking,
largely the latter. ,
Conference of Rail. '
Chiefs and Toilers
About to Break Up
New York, June 13. The answer td
the question as to whether the rep
resentatives f the railroads and their
e.uployes would break off negotia
tions as the result of their dispute
over wage adjustments still hung in
the balance when the forenoon ses
sion of their conference adjourned to
day. .
The railroad manages continued
today to answer the 105 questions
propounded by the union men re
garding applications of the new waee
schedule, but the proceedings were
trequently interrupted by heated dis
cussions which did not evidence a
harmonious adjustment.
The - railroad managers had still
more questions to answer when the
conference adjourned u 'I tomorrow.
- Immediately following the adjourn'
ment both sides declared that in all
Erobability the conference would
reak up tomorrow without anything

backs up Former statement
New York, June 13. Charles E.
Hughes, in response to questions put
to him today by newspaper men in
regard to his attitude towards the
support offered him by the German
Americans, said it was "one of undi
luted Americanism."
stated my position very clearly,"
said the republican presidential can
didate, "in my statement to the con
vention. My attitude is one of undi
luted Americanism and anybody that
supports me is supporting an out and
out American and an out and out
American policy: absolutely nothing
else."
Mr. Hughes dictated his statement
on "undiluted Americanism" in re
sponse to repeated requests of inter
viewers and in the face of his pre
viously announced1 determination to
say nothing further on issues of the
day until his formal notification of
nomination. He met the correspond
ents by appointment and dictated' the
statement standing in a grouu of
about forty newspaper men and other
callers.
Only Authorized Statement.
It was the only statement he made
during his talk with newspaper men
that he would permit to. go out as
authorized by him. '
At the same time it was made clear
to callers that the nominee should
use what he thought was the most
emphatic langusge he could have
used on this subject in his telegram
last Saturday to Chairman Harding of
the republican national convention.
Mr. Hughes, it was said, intends
to meet doubt that has been raised
a manner which he believes will
clear it up. It will be a long cam
paign and a strenuous campaign, ac
cording to the present outlook at
headquarters, and there will be op
portunity to go into details before
the American people.
The nominee, leaders said, probably
will start early on his speech-making
tours. , These and other details, how-
fcyer, yet remain to; be decided. -5.'J- i
indications "ipoay -twercj mat "it.
Hughes would remain in New York
until he beuins his speech-making
tours, with the excepeion of his con
templated visit to Brown university
iiext week.- . . . -' !
Will Choose Chairman Later. '
One of, the few developments of
the day at Mr. Hughes' .headquarters
was an announcement by Larayette
B. Gleason. secretary of the repub
lican national committee, and also of
the New York state renublican com
mittee, which indicated that it will be
several days yet before any decision
is reported on the question of the
man who is to succeed Charles D.
Hillea as chairman of the republican
national committee. Mr. Gleason said
that a subcommittee of the national
committee would in a few days call
upon the nominee to discuss the mat
ter. ,
Another development was the an
nouncement from the candidate's
headquarters that moving pictures
would be employed to aid his cam
paign. It is planned to throw on the
screen throughout the country pic
tures of Mr. Hughes "iri.order that
the people may again become familiar
with Charles E. Hughes, because he
has for so long a time been virtually
out of public life." The screens also
will display important passages from
Mr. Hughes' telegram to the national
convention accepting the nomination.
Oscar s. Straus, former candidate
for governor of New York on the
progressive ticket, sent a telegram to
Mr. Hughes today pledging his sup
port. '

Railway Wagj
Conference Seems -Near
to Deadlock
New York, June 13. The confer

perilously near a deadlock today.
This was the result of the applica
tion of what the men called a "yard

railway officials declared that "time
paid for under one rule is not 1 1 be
paid for under another rule or rules."
This proposal was regarded so un

There are several different varieties

There are' mechanical mixers that
need the dough need the dough for
bread, cakes and pies. The bakers
themselves the men who knead the
dough are good mixers and are hav
ing a good time at their convention.
But the real mixers- are the sales
men, who, to judge by their talk to
prospective customers, need the dough
that will come from commissions on
sales of mixers and other bakery sup
plies. They will explain to the selling
prospect that if he kneads the dough
because he needs the dough, he need
knead the dough with the mixer that
kneads the dough most for the least
dough.
A pleasant salesman in the center
of the floor has on exhibition a can
of powder that looks very much like
sulphur, but which he explains, is a
convenient form of -egg for use by
bakers. He says you can take a spoon
ful of the powder and heat it up with
water and have a plate of scrambled
eggs. "You can't poach that kind of
an egg or fry it sunny side up, but
It's fine for a scramble or an ome

powder come from China.

In a letter to the managing editor

Two Boys Drown
' In Missouri River
Attempting to save his younger
brother, who had been carried out
into the swift current of the Missouri
river, Carl Jacobsen, 12 years old, was
drowned in the swirling waters of the
stream, as was his brothers, Elmer, 9
years old.
The double tragedy occurred at the
font of WashiiiBton street on the

evening.
Together with several other boys,
the Jacobsen lads went in bathing
about 6 o'clock.
