at pare cost Of the product. Testimony
accumulated shows that, instead, the
in large lots, and these then sell 1t to
the FARMERS at their own or little
under the regular market price. More
than this, the sale Is not to the trade,
but to the favored dealers, such as
have the political pull" In practical
working the result Is this: The Ia
vored dealer gets his stock, say at 8
to IL cents, and at once marks it up
TO IL, Il or evens 16 cents per pound.
EPus tne farmer who pays his share
or the burdens to maintain the plant
In taxes, pays. double for his twine
over what 1t was intended he should
pay. Besides 1T is an unfair deal as
to the regular trade, for the latter can
not compete with the favored dealer of
course.

In contradistinction from this state
ment is that of Chairman John Zelch,
of the Washington Republican county
committee, who yesterday reported
that his county was like big rare
chunks Of solid ice, on the Republican
situation, especially as to Eustis. That
worthy, Mr.. Zelch said in his self
complacency, and the supremely selfish
characteristics which have marked the
campaign, had not seen fit even to
write him a scratch Of the pen, or any
one for him. There is no enthusiasm
in Washington, says Chairman Zelch,
and not likely to be enough to get the
ordinary party vote out to the polls.
If there was likely to be life enough
in his county campaign to warrant any
prospect of success, Mr.. Zelch would
make a spiel for the state senate; but
as it is he will not likely do anything.
Gov. Clough yesterday issued a proc
olamation organizing six new election
districts in partly organized townships
in the northern part of the state. Four
are In st. Louis, one in Becker and
one in Norman county.
The districts were organized by vir-
tue of authority given the governor
by the legislature, which is contingent
upon a petition signed by a majority
Of the voters in the district to be or
ganized. The law specifies that the
new districts must in no case be near
er than five miles from the nearest
regularly organized township or voting
place. These districts will vote at the
next general election in November.
