in the result of the Chicago Convention
So do we. But one thing we feel certain of
is. that they will not split into two factions
and finally back down from making any
nominations until after their opponents have

obtaining cheap sites with good water power along
the Cottonwood are better now than they will ever
be again. There three good sites near Empo-
ria, which should be occupied at once. Who will
