Chailos Sumner Hird, who Is run
ning hi the Massachusetts republi
can ur'u'i-ry for delegate to Chi
cago, i>ledged to Roosevelt, says
that ■' the Coloml Is not nominat
ed it will mean another split lu
thy part, and tlie re-election of
Wilson. Not necessarily. It cer
tainlv will not mean that if Mr.
Hird a. J others who favor Roose
velt w• j 1 -bide by the results of
the i>rim;u-ies in which they are
i an ri ll and of the convention which
they ,,eek to atteud. Four years
ago these was much talk of the
fraud that was ivrpet rated and of
the outrage that was done at Chi
cago. '."pan such an excuse the
prcuri -ive party was formed. This
ye.«r there will be no basis fcrr
such accusations. Two-thirds of
the C'hitago convention will be
iiauW in open direct primaries,
sucj. .. Mr. Bird has entered. The
ouud'i'.j of those primaries will be
j as what the voters uesire. In
dassac iu.htts -Mr. Biru may not be
iltcuu. nut there can be no split
in 'lie party as a conscience of
t:\i* ni.U-s Mr Bird is entering the
; rituary with a determination not
to acc-i't the result unless it is
favorable to him. Such a spirit
w.miM wreck any political organiza
ticsj. It was such a spirit that
did wr« ck 'he r publican parfy four
is -o. If Mr. Bird is imbued
w ih this spirit he surely has uo
busiitos as a candidate in a re
publc n primary.

The- value of fexpor's from Ctr
uiany to the United Statbs, as de
clared at 23 American consulates
and H consular agencies during
1915 amounted to a trifle less than
J-1C,('"0,000 as compared with
$156,o00,000 in 1914, seven months

mestlc builders of submarines which
forbade the construction' of these
boats in this country results in a
transfer of the industry to foreign

would have the coutracts filled In
