Wr. Hughes can be elected President, but It Is going- to take a lot of work by the reunited Republican-Progressive party to do it. The Middle West, es pecially, must be aroused from its present good-natured indifference. Bo declared tr. Nicholas Murray Butler, of New York City, president of Columbia University,, and Republi can candidate for Vice-President be fore tbe electoral college In 1912. fol lowing the death of Vice-President Sherman, in an interview at the Benson Hotel yesterday. "I have been pretty well over the country and have made a careful study of political conditions," said Dr. Butler. "I think Mr. Hughes will be elected. But it is going to take work and the hardest kind of work. Let no one be deceived as to that. There must be no letup in the campaign. "It is not the Coaet states, both Atlantic and Pacific, that present the difficulty. There must be work there. too, of course, but the voters on the coasts have a better realization of the true situation and the trend is very strongly for Hughes. The great prob lem of the campaign is to bring home the truth to the voters of the Middle West, the states from Ohio on the east to Colorado on the west. Battle Will Be There. "The real battle will be fought In these states. The people there have profited from the war. money is plenti ful, and in consequence they are in clined to be indifferent to the result. "This country Just now, due solely to the war," continued Dr. Butler, "is having an artificial prosperity that can perhaps best be compared to the high temperature of a fever patient. It is anything but a healthy condition. "This war has had the effect of a pro hibitive tarif, imports from Europe have dropped to virtually nothing. Many articles that ordinarily would have been shipped in here in great quantity to compete with the products of American labor are not being man ufactured at alL Other manufactured articles have risen many times in price. "So, except for the few months fol lowing the adoption of the Underwood tariff law and Immediately preceding the war, which were months of great depression, we have escaped the disas trous effects of the Democratic free trade policy. Sole Benefit Doe to War. "At the same time the war has cre ated an enormous demand from the warring countries for foodstuffs, wool to clothe their armies and other com modities. Prices have gone up and the producer has profited, all due to the war. "Now, when a man is enjoying tem porary prosperity and has money in his pockets he is not inclined to stop and analyze what is behind that pros perity, whether it Is an economically healthy and enduring prosperity or a feverish prosperity due to extraordi nary conditions that will cease to be when the topsy-turvy world resumes the normal. "It is this kind of indifference that the Republican party must overcome in the Middle West. It will take work and a great deal of it. "On the other hand," went on Dr. Butler, "local, state and Congressional elections in 1914 and local and state elections last year indicated a general turning by the people to the Republl an prty. Tnat is a very encourag ing sign. Another is the return of the Progressives, which has been a popular movement and not one by the leaders. Coast Conditions Discussed. Dr. Butler showed much interest in political and economic conditions on the Pacific Coast. "Except In the demand for wheat, wool and the like, you haven't felt the benefits of the war," said he, "and you have experienced more than any other part of the country the inevitable results of the Underwood tariff." Dr. Butler is bound for the Yakima Valley in Washington, and the region about Ellensburg-. His party will follow the Columbia River Highway to Hood River, and then, crossing the Columbia, will motor to Lyle. Goldendale, and thence inland to the Yakima country. From there they will go to Everett, where they expect to arrive about next Tuesday, j RAIN DELAYS HARVEST Precipitation In Walla Wall Is Small and No Damage Bone. WAtLA WAT J, A. Wash.. Aug. IS. (Special.) Last night's and this morn ing's rain, .12 of an inch, delayed har vest in this part of the valley. The rain, while general, missed a number of localities, and in these harvest con tinued today as usual. In some of the localities where the rainfall was heavy work will not be resumed till some time tomorrow. Practically no damage was done. The rain proved a stimulus to reg istration in the country precincts. It was registration day, and a special ef fort was made to get as many of the voters registered as possible. f HOTEL SAINT PAUL w-Remodled.wrl for .nisbed tiirbagbout. Tel - ephone In erery room.

MEN CHAINED AT POSTS Shell Crater Warfare Replaces Trencb Fighting In West, Where' Fire of Big Guns Makes New Work Impossible. "WITH THE . BRITISH ARMY IX FRANCE, Aug. 17. via Londan. Aug. 18. Torrential rain today and yesterday made it an inconceivably miserable night for the German gunners at their posts In shell craters filled with water up to their necks. The Germans seem to have definitely given up trying to dig any trenches along the front, where the British hold the high ground and .the old second German line. The British gunfire fills in every trench that is started and kills the diggers. Machine gun and shell crater war fare has replaced trench warfare as a means of defense against the British attack. Not the Prussian guard nor the Brandenburgers, but machine gun ners are now the crack corps of the Germane. Specially picked they take the oath never to surrender and bng- lishmen report they are chained to their guns by officers to prevent them from succumbing to any temptation to flee. This -is confirmed by witnesses who have taken such men In the re cent fighting. Machine guns are dragged out to the shell craters under cover of dark ness and during the day the gunners lie hugging the earth in most uncom fortable positions. They are baked by the sun by day and shiver in the wet at night. If the least movement dis closes their location by day a hurri cane of mortar and gunfire is turned on them. British snipers are always lying in wait for the first sign of any thing to shoot at. Some of the Ger mans who have been captured bad been days without food, isolated as they were by the continual sniping. The British spent the day consoli dating the gains made by their right flank toward Guillemont yesterday in conjunction with the French attack. HUGHES ALOOF IN DISCORD (Continued Prom First Pago.) chosen as chairman of the San Fran cisco Hughes meeting, proposing that Willis H. Booth, the other aspirant to the Republican nomination for the Senatorship, should preside over the Los Angeles meeting. He was over ruled by his fellow committeemen. William H. Crocker and Chairman Francis V. Keesling, of the state cen tral committee, who declared that the state committee had absolute charge of the arrangements. A proposal that Mr. Rowell should preside at one meeting and Mr. Crocker at the other went by the board. Mr. Rowell is said to have told Hughes that of the 400,000 Progres sives who voted for Johnson for Gov ernor in 1914, the majority are resent ful of the attitude of the regular Re publicans toward their endeavor to work with the party. Fifty per cent of the Progressives, he said, would follow Colonel Roosevelt back Into the Republican party, 10 per cent would vote for Wilson, and the other 40 per cent are awaiting the turn of events. Preparedness la Broad Question. "I desire that In speaking of pre paredness we should take no narrow view. We live in a very critical period. There is a new world in process of formation. . Out of the great European conflict will issue a new Europe, but there must be in a very true sense a new America to meet the exigencies of that time. It must be an America that has found itself; it must be an America that takes a long look ahead not content with the prospect of a few years, even of a decade or a score of years, but an America planning for the 20th century. "We must conserve the very basis of our prosperity in conserving women and children. We must endeavor to have a contented America; an America contented because of the prevalence of just dealing between man and man, aided py wise laws. "We cannot afford In looking into tbe future to fall to tako account of the causes of. discontent and of un rest. We do not need to have a peren nial agitation in this country. All that Is needed is a firm sense of co operation and of realization in our practical, industrial life, of those Ideals of human brotherhood upon which con stitutional system is based. Humanitarian Spirit Growing. . "There is a new spirit, I believe, abroad id the land. There is a dis position to take account of Just griev ances and to provide reasonable reme dies. "We can have an humanitarian out look which is absolutely essential not only because it is right from a human standpoint? but because it is necessary from an economic standpoint." Mr. Hughes repeated his tariff views and bis pledge that no one would "put over anything" for private gain at public expense in tariff adjustment, if he could help it. "I do propose, however," he said, "that we shall have a constructive tariff policy which will foster, not cripple; which, will build up, not de stroy; which will count American achievement honorable and not some thing to be reduced, which will sail the United States ahead, a worthy competitor in this economic struggle with any nation on earth." The nominee reiterated his views on preparedness and assailed the Admin istration for vacillation in, respect to preparedness and for failure to pre pare for the Mexican crisis. "Mixing politics and military prepara ration is the worst thing that can happen to a nation," he said. Efficient Defense Demanded. Mr. Hughes said he favored an Army of citizens, trained by the Federal Gov ernment and responsible only to the Federal Government as the Nation's first reserve. Of the Navy Mr. Hughes said: "I am Informed on high authority that our ships are undermanned and our supplies inadequate. Our organiza tion is not what it should be. I do not think that the Administration of the great department of the Government reflects credit on the American people. Those who are interested in prepared ness are not simply content in studying lists of battleships. They know the quality of our organization, the capa city of our leadership. It is important in this country that we have patriotism not simply in declamation, but in .effi ciency of governments. "When I read of the hundreds of mil lions appropriated for military and na val purposes, I am not satisfied. I want to know bow that money Is spent. I want to know whether we get in poten cy what we are paying for." The nominee assailed the Administra tion for its diplomatic appointments. , Trained Diplomats Promised. "I deplore the extent to which men of training have been removed from the diplomatic service under this Ad ministration," Mr. Hughes said. "Now, I do not want anybody to say that this Is just destructive criticism. That is just one side of the shield. - On the other side of the shield you will find something else this: That I propose that we shall have trained men in our diplomatic service." Reverting to preparedness, Mr. Hughes said: "Our preparedness will not be a pre paredness that threatens; It will not be a preparedness that means militarism. But it will be a preparedness that now insures our peace and enlists us in the future cause of maintenance of the peace of the world." Mr. Hughes read the Democratic plat form plank of 1912 declaring for the maintenance abroad of American rights. "That I believe." he said. "That I propose to practice, not simply to preach." JITNEYS ASKED TO PAVE Los Angeles Councilman Favors Di viding Burden. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18. (Special.) "J think it unfair," said Councilman Wright when a petition was presented to the City Council asking that the Los Angeles Railway be not allowed an extension of time in which to do certain paving. The Councilman was referring t6 the law compelling street railways to pave one-third of streets along which their tracks run. while Jitney buses, which take away so much of the company's revenues, do not have to defray any of the expense. "The Los Angeles Railway is losing large sums every year, and yet we are Increasing the burden on them of pav ing streets." he said. "The company operates on a franchise and a portion of its earnings goes to the city, and we yet these Jitney buses run beside its cars and pick up the cream of the business." As a remedycouncilman Wright will urge that an ordinance be passed com pelling the Jitney men to stand a pro portionate share of paving coatja. Crowds Line Way to Hotel and Ap plaud Visitor, Who Makes Three Addresses and Holds Con ference on Harmony. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 18 Charles K. Hughes re'ached his farthest West here today. Before three audiences be spoke of dominant Americanism, pre paredness and bis belief in the need for a protective tariff. Mr. Hughes reached San Francisco at 1 o'clock, went to his hotel through crowds which applauded him along the way, held a reception shortly after ward and made the first of his ad dresses before the Union League Club at 3 o'clock. He hastened back to his hotel and there addressed a meet ing of women voters. Tonight he ad dressed a mass meeting in the Civic Auditorium, which was presided over by William H. Crocker, Republican National Committeeman from Cali fornia. Harmony Conference Held. Between addresses Mr. Hughes con ferred with Republican and Progres sive leaders here in the Interest of party harmony. The nominee confined his suggestions to a plea for co-operation among Republicans and Progres sives.' In so doing Mr. Hughes said that he did not propose to Interfere in the state's local affairs, but that he wanted all elements of both these par ties to work together in the interest of the National ticket. Among the leaders who conferred with the nominee today were Chester H. Rowell, of the Republican National campaign committee, who Joined the Hughes party yesterday on itsway from Portland to this city; Francis V. Keesling, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, and William H. Crocker. Messrs. Keesling and Crocker met the Hughes train before it reached San Francisco and conferred with the nominee en route. In his address before the Union League Club Mr. Hughes spoke chiefly of the protective tariff, reiterating his contentions that it was necessary for upbuilding American industries, and that its enactment and enforcement should be entrusted to the Republican party. Ideala Can Be Achieved. In addressing the women voters Mr. Hughes repeated his conviction that the suffrage issue should be speedily decided and the vote granted to women throughout the country by amendment to the Federal Constitution. He re iterated his reasons for wishing this done, assailed the Administration for waste and extravagance, and declared that, under proper leadership, it would be possible for America to achieve all its ideals. "There Is not one of our ideals that Is incapable of achievement." Mr. Hughes said. "We can have content ment, we can have peace, .we can have security, provided we have an un swerving loyalty to the flag, an in telligent co-operation and those with policies which will foster our indus tries and protect our enterprises, and. provided further, that while we correct abuses we make sure to open the avenues for honorable American achievement throughout the world. "The Republican party, reunited and reconsecrated In this campaign, stands for those ideals and the method of their attainment, and as a great lib eral party is coming back to its own." HUGHES' TRIP OVATION It- E. WILLIAMS TELLS OF" RECEP TION IX SOUTHERN' OREGON. Enthusiastic Crowds Greet Republican Nominee When Brief Talks Are Given at Several Towns. "Mr. Hughes' trio through Southern Oregon was one continuous ovation." said Ralph E. Williams, Republican Na tional Committeemen, who with State Chairman McNary accompanied the nominee as rar as Ashland on his return to Portland yesterday. "It began at 8 o'clock In the morn ing, when Mr. Hughes rose, and ex tended to the meeting at Ashland late in the afternoon. At every station, the people were lined up at the depot waiting for the train to come in and they gave the nominee a warm recep tion. He spoke briefly from the rear platform of his train at more, than a dozen towns. "E. B. Hermann, State Committeeman from Douglas County, introduced him at all the stops in that county; Fred Williams. Josephine County chairman, introduced him in that county and S. S. Smith. State Committeeman from Jackson County, made the Introductory speeches there. "Mr.. Hughes made a fine impression. He was very tired when he retired Wednesday nigbt after his strenuous day in Portland, but he was in fine fettle on the train the next day. His voice also was much improved. "The longest stop was that at Ash land, where Mr. Hughes left the train and spoke for 20 minutes at a plat form arranged for him. "Mr. Hughes had given orders that he was to be awakened in time to begin the day's speaking at 8 o'clock and he was not at all pleased at not .being roused until that hour. "Both he and Mrs. Hughes expressed again their pleasure at having seen the Columbia River Highway, which Mr. Hughes declared was beyond com parison with any other in this coun try. He added that he had seen all the great seen highways in Europe and that few of them could compare with it." PORTUGAL TO ENTER WAR Formal Announcement of Intention to Fight Is Made.

I could not keep my hands out of my head. My hair be came very dry and harsh and did not feel like there was any life in it. The first application of Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap soothed the scalp wonderfully and after using one Jar of Resinol Ointment and three cakes of Resinol Soap my head Is entirely cured I can rest peacefully and there is no more itching.
