HAYS DENIES ALARM OVER G. O. P. SENATORIAL SITUATION

Will H. Hays, chairman; Fred W. Upham, treasurer of the national republican committee, and Medill McCormick, candidate for the G. 0. P. nomination for United .States senator, were in a conference today in the Blackstone hotel. Later is was said that Mr. McCormick assured the national leader that there is nothing in the situation in Illinois to cause apprehension to the republicans. It has been reported that Mr. Hays came to Chicago because of alarming reports relating to the senatorial fight between Mr. McCormick, Mayor Thompson and George Edmund Foss; that he might attempt to induce Mr. Foss to retire from the race. ■’Nothing to it,” said Hays emphatically. “I stopped off here on my way from New York to Lincoln, Neb., where I will attend the republican state convention Tuesday. My visit here has.jio political signifiance whatever.” Mr. Hays up to noon had not seen Mayor Thompson, who is national committeeman for Illinois. “Every action of the republican party,” said Mr. Hays, “is determined first on how we can contribute first to war good. There must be no poli tics in anything touching the war. I insist that there be no contest in that regard in this country, except that contest of who. best can serve and who most can give. I hope and expect that the democratic party will work by the same token.”—'Chicago Daily Journal.’

NOTICE TO CHAUTAUQUA WORKERS. All officers and chautauqua workers are asked to meet at The First National bank tonight at 8 p. m. Business of importance to guarantors must be attended to at this time.—By Order of Chairman.

We must tell the German people the truth—Captain Persuis is the Berlin Tageblatt. If it ever comes to-that the jig will be up. David Harris and daughter, Anna, returned to* their home at Springfield, Ohio, after a visit with Mr. Laura J. Harris. A man has sense enough in other ways, but you can’t make him believe that all the thieves and porch climbers do not belong to the other political party. The girls do not want to shock us poor mutts by discarding the skirts all of a sudden. So they are shortening the skirts about a half inch per month and gradually getting us used to the awful fact that they are wearing. legs. If the defense of the German army >n the Soissons-Rheims pocket has been so “successful,” the kaiser may be expected to decorate the crown nrince again. The stupid Hun, who has been telling his people that there were no Americans in France, now reports that they were killed by tens of thousands. Some day he will tell the truth, but no one will believe him.

Two battalions would scarcely be sufficient to insure the safety of a German diplomat in some countries, but, of course, Germany is at peace with Russia. r „ For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the J ! Signature of /cZrM/W
