iriends for the past several days
in the city, returned to their home
today.
In speaking of the 801 l weevil
condition in his county, Mr. Rog
ers stated :
“We in the western part of the
Third Congressional district have
already come in direct contact
with the boll weevil but have
made timely preparation for its
coming. Thousands of acres in
Randolph county have been plant
cd in peanuts this year and a peas
nut oil mill, has -been erected in
our city to_take care of the crop.
The net returns from the peanuts
arc expected to take the place of
the possible losses on the cotton
vield this year and in future years
we expect to do better than that.
Your people might as well get
ready to meet the weevil condi
tions for they are at your door.”

HUGHES COMBMITTEE
Chicago, June 5.—A Hughes
committee of perhaps 100 dele
gates from a score of states, both
istructed and uninstructed, was
created here today, marking the
first, step :toward a national or
ganization of the forces who want
to nominate the justice. F. G.
Boatwright, of Cordele, Ga., was
chosen secretary of the commit
fee :
The purpose of the committee
is to pledge every possible dele
gate to Justice Hughes before the
convention and to stir enthusiasm
for him. Expenses of the commit
tee will be met by popular sub
scription and offers to contrib@ffi
to the fund came quickly. Mcq';q
ings wil Ibe held daily. The nexg
one will be tomorrow afternoon
when, it was predicted today, ‘34
score_of additional states will bé
represented. S .
: Predict Nomination
At today’s meeting Gov. Whit
man, Frank H. Hitchcock and
Col. William Hayward predicted
Justice Hughes would be nomi
nated.
Several New England delega
tions were said to be planning a
conference with Mr. Hitchcock
with a view to joining the Hu
ghes boom. S
Introducing Gov. \Whitman,
John A. Jantzke of Maryland,
chairman of the meeting, said
that the Governor, as a Hughes
leader, would tell the delegates
what to do.
“It is, not my purpose to tell
you what to do,” said the Govern
or. “l wish that all the states
represented 'in this convention |
had done”ds Oregon in sending al
full delegatign - here instructed |
for justice_%g*‘ghé‘s. :
Hjighes. Best Man
“The }gt‘gfiéé”séntimcnt is here
today, but T “feél " that it only
faintly repfresents the sentiment
that exists throughout the United
Statés. -~ . ;
“As one who desires to see the
party unite on-the best man, it
is my opinion that Justice Hugh
es not only will be nominated,
but also will be elected the next
president of the United States.”
Mr. Hitchcock merely said that
he stood for Justice Hughes be
cause “he is a winner and is going
to win.”
“The convention will not go
beyond the second ballot, and
possibly not the first,” Col. Hay
ward declared. ‘“The nomination
of Hughes is inevitable.
A resolution to instruct each
man to consider himself a “steer
ing committee of one” carried un
animously. |
