CHICAGO, Aug. 14—Wheat aver- aged lower in price today during the vearly dealings, bearish sentiment hav- ing been emphasized by a setback in ‘Liverpool quotations and by the ap- parent failure of the premiers’ confer- ence tn London. On the decline in the market here, however, consider- able buying of September wheat took Place owing to raf! strike developments which appeared likely to restrict ar- rivals of wheat et primary centers. As @& consequence, September delivery showed firmness compared with later Aeltveries, all of which touched a new low price record fcr the season. The opening which varied from % to ic lower with September 31.03% to §1.04 and December from $1.03 to $1.08%, “was followed by a slight rally and then @ fresh decline.

Special stocks, in- fluenced by favorable trade news and pool operations, scored large gains but the usual leaders, especially the rails, were reactionary on the less fa, vorable domestic and foreign devel- opments. Sales approximated 575,000 hares. ¢ Selling orders predominated in the final hour when the lowest prices of the day were registered equipments, railroads and foreign oils, most of which were down 1 to 3 points. The closing was heavy. the allied premiers to come to an agreement on the German zeparations ed a deaidedly reac tionary trend to opening prices on the New York stock exchange today.

Among the “red clergy” as the clergy: ‘men of the new church are. called, the orthodox church is referred to as the “dead church.” It is contended by the “red clergy” that by permitting marriages clergy- men are brought into closer contact with the community.

WINTER Dear Sir: As heretofore announced, I am a candidate for the Repub- lican nomination for Representative in Congress, at the pri- mary election to be held August 22, 1922. I do not need the office, nor do I know that the office needs me; but I have for years held the conviction that I can be of real service to the people of Wyoming in that position. I am under no obliga- tion of any character to any person, corporation, group or class and will be in a position to act, without bias, prejudice or wrongful influence, on all matters pertaining to the state and nation. All my life I have been a believer in and a supporter of the principles and policies of the Republican party. I began serving the party as a “‘parader” in my sixth year, in 1876— the Hays-Tilden campaign—and as a worker and advocate of its measures and candidates in 1892, at which time I finished my college course. Twenty ears of the thirty since that date have been spent as a citizen of Wyoming. Barring the cam- paign of 1912, and my term of service in the Sixth District bench, 1913-1919, I have been an active working and speak- ing supporter of the Republican party and its candidates in every county, state and national campaign in Wyoming since i902. In the campaign of 1920, having resigned from the bench in 1919, I had the honor and satisfaction of again fight- ing for the party and its nominees, filling a schedule of speak- ing appointments and, at the close, completing the schedule of meetings of Hon. Frank W. Mondell, whose labors were cut short by an injury. I do not have the advantage, if it be such, of having occupied a number of offices through and un- der our party. Such record as I have made in twenty years in Wyoming, in public and private life, will either commend or fail to commend me to the voters of the Republican party as its candidate for Representative. Our party has been solidly reunited since 1916. There are no divisions. All are Republicans. No issue between Repub- licans should be raised. None is justified. Unity exists and should be maintained. It is essential. I am not seeking the nomination and support, therefore, as a “propressive,” or as a “reactionary,” as a “radical,” or as a “conservative,” as an “independent,” or as a “regular,” but as a Republican. No one should be permitted to make or suggest a cleavage in Republican ranks where none exists. We should and will meet the opposition in the coming campaign with an undivid- ed front. No man is a stronger believer in organization than I am. That has been proven by twenty-two years of active work with and under the Republican state central committees of Nebraska and Wyoming. The working machinery of the party is entitled to full credit for its arduous work. The or- ganization is the agent of the voters, the rank and file of the party. The organization has no preferred candidates at the primaries and our staté central committee has so plainly de- clared. The party system is in force,in this country. It is the only way at present to crystalize public opinion and formulate gov- ernmental ideas of the people into law. As between democ- racy and Republicanism, there has never been a time when there was a question or a doubt but that Republicanism was best for our country. I take it for granted that the intelligent mass of the Re- publican voters of Wyoming will select their candidate for Representative because of his qualifications, his belief in Re- publican principles and his ability to present them in behalf of the party and all Republican candidates. On this basis I submit my name at the primaries, standing on the last Re- publican national platform, the Indiana state platform as adopted this year in state convention, and on my record as a citizen and a Republican. On this basis I earnestly ask your support and your vote at the primary election August 22, 1922. If the Republican voters of this state have a better qualified man and a stronger party candidate for the office of Representative and who, in their judgment, can secure a higher vote in the election to follow for himself and all the Republican candidates, I shall cheerfully acquiesce. If not, it seems to me that I can reasonably ask their support for the nomination. I will deeply appreciate your vote at the pri- mary lection. Yours sincerely, : CHARLES EB.
