Hughes author- ized him to say he has no intention of abandoning the Alaska railway or battleship construction pro- gram at Bremerton. Is Gov. Hughes tongue-tied? Why doesn’t he speak for himself? He had an opportunity—a most splendid op- portunity when he was in Seattle, the gateway to Alaska—to declare himself definitely on the Alaska ‘railroad question and on the navy yard question, Thousands of people, eager to hear ihe word from him that he is not under the thumb of the Guggen- heims, who are helping to supply the republican . finances, jammed the Arena. They wai to hear say he was free of | the Guggenheim influence on, Alaskan policies. John E. Ballaine, who made his race for con- gress on the Alaskan issue, met Hughes in Spokane, rode with him to Seattle, talked Alaska with him, tried to impress upon him its importance to the Northwest. What did Hughes say? Nothing. Seattle wanted to hear from Hughes on the Bremerton navy yard program. It wanted to hear that he was a believer in government construction. Seattle knew very well that the standpat gang be- hind Hughes was the element which fought the Bremerton project, knew that Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, who led the fight against it ,in the jin the witness | Beutinger, senate, was mentioned for secretary of the navy vunder Hughes, knew that the shipbuilding tryst was : i FPiour has advanced, and fs re When 1 refused be would ® ponsible for part of the shrinkage threaten to kill me. which makes bread loaves look like The jurors cast sympathetic | pong glances at the pretty little woman box as she con- te deriss-siard But the baker who pute out an l1-ounce loaf and sticks on a 16. ounce stamp is breaking the law, “The thing for the housewife to do 1s shop carefully,” says Weights and Measures Inspector J.

HIO THRONGS GREET WILSON CHILLICOTHE, O., Oct. 26% Several thousand people greeted President Wilson at 8:15 a. m., in- cluding 700 shopmen given liberty in order to see the president. There also were many railroad men in the crowd that gave the president a big demonstration, “T had a lot of fun thru here when I was a youngster,” the president said. The crowd laughed, and many called out: “Better stop off and look us over again.’ “With you the country will “3 the price of the nickel loaf, but ta- day began a state-wide movement | for petitioners to President Wilson, seeking an embargo on the ex- portation of wheat.

He arri at 11:30 and re ceived a tremendous reception. Hamilton county, whose German, | population is such that no election was ever won by her without tne support of the German vote, put \party limes and personal feelings aside to tender the executive one jof the greatest demonstrations he ‘has received, Germans were on all the com-” | mittees, their presence was mark= jed in the crowds and there was ev+ lery evidence of their intention to give Wilscn a clear impression that his was to be a fair hearing in a community reported hostile to him. The president made his way thru crowded streets to a hotel a brief rest previous to starting out on a busy day. He was welcomed the city by Mayor Geor Puchta, republican Wm, B.
