Up to the present time fifteen Repub-
lican state conventions have adopted
resolutions strongly indorsing President
RoOseyelt's administration. expressing
their wish that Roosevelt shall be the
Republican national candidate in 1904,
and pledging him their support so far
as their authority to make pledges ex-
tends. The list, together with the num-
ber of delegates which each state win
have in the national convention, is as
follows Alabama, %; Colorado, 10;
Connecticut IA; Delaware, 6; Iowa, 26:
Kansas, 20; Massachusetts. 80; Mime
sofa, %: Missouri. Sc; Montana, 6; New
Hampshire. 8; New York, rs; Pennsyl-
vania. 6S; Texas, So; Washington. 10:
total 394. The national convention will
have 9s4 delegates, of which a majority
will be 493, or only 80 in excess of the

cratic plank more revolutionary than any
thing that even the Populist wing of the
Bryan combine has ever ventured to enun-
ciate.
There are other differences between the
Ohio and the New York situations. Tom
l.. Johnson, who, as Bryan's ostensible
heir, is rushing through Ohio with the
paraphernaiia of circus, is wasting time
and money on a state that goes Republi-
can in every presidential year. On the
other hand, David Bennett Hill, who is
canvassing New York by proxy, is operat-
ing in state that is always doubtful and
whose heavy electoral vote is often the
controlling factor in a presidential cleo
ton. Johnson's antics cannot imperil
whatever of chances the Democrats may
have for victory in 1904. Hills selection
of a comparatively weak candidate to OPP
pose an exceptionally strong candidate.
and his posing of his man on a plank that
Is simply revolutionary, may imperil those
chances.
AS to the relative prospects of the two
candidates for securing the Democratic
nomination, is there much difference
Unless the party goes in again for Bryan
ism, johnson cannot be the nominee.

House headquarters, and all the others

Since becoming the head of the miners
organization John Mitchell has kept OUT

Investigating Sorghum by Products
Claim on Coburn.

w. L. Parkinson, of Ottawa, is in To-
peka today consulting with Secretary
Coburn, of the state board of agricui-
fure, about the food value of the by
products of sorghum. He has been
studying the utilization of the sorghum
plan for different purposes for several
years, and is now making an investiga-
ton to ascertain if the seed leaves
bagasse and other by-products of sOr-
ghum can be utilized so as to add large
ly to the profits of manufacturing sor-
ghum molaSses.
we still lay claim to Coburn down in
Franklin county," said Judge Parkinson
today. He got his start down there
among US. That's where he learned
what he knows about hogs.''
Secretary Coburn settled in Franklin
county soon after the war. He worked
as hired hand for a few years, and
finally took homestead of his own It
was while he was still living on his
Franklin county farm that he wrote his
book on Swine Husbandry." but all
though it was written 25 years ago it
is still considered as the leading work

rHE COAL SITUATION.

From the indianapolis News.
The soul of the anthracite coal condi-
ton and situation is simply this: A
combination owns all the means of
TRANSFORMATION and most of the mines.
all of which it controls because it con-
trolls the means of transportation. Thus
the independent operator is not able to
ship his product unless the combine per-
nits. and If he cuts his price the COM
bine will raise freight rates. 1t exaets
regularly for hauling anthracite many
times the rates on other similar freight
This it pays for itself as owner of mines
just as the independent operator pays
but as it owns the railroads this simply
becomes for it a process of bookkeep-
ing or of the transfer of money from
one pocket to another. So it is able to
dictate the price of coal in the market.
It is also able manifestly to dictate the
terms of labor in all mines.
The six men that do this are inter-
ested in preserving the mines as to labor
as though they were individual and
separate concerns, each dealing with its
operatives separately, for thus they are
able TO play off one against another;
that is, to have a condition of eompe-
tition in labor so that if miners are dis
satisfied in one mine they are at liberty
to go to another, OF to compare their
condition with another. and as no law
is broken by any sort of condition, the
operators are free to say: I'VE will
listen to grievances separately with our
denied. what remedy have the miners ?
Ostensibly competition with other mines.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 9.-'It's only wha.

A new dodge has been tried by the

been found to harmonic so exactly with

ASKS MANY QUESTIONS
Does Collector of Statistics Who VIII be in
City SON.


City SBon.
Charles w. Ellis, a representative
of the bureau of labor statistics at
Washington, will be in the city i'm a
week or so securing figures for the
annual report. He will secure fig
ures relative to the municipality and
is engaged on new feature just
started this summer.
This is the collection of statistics
relating to wages and cost of living
among wage workers. He is to Sc
cure figures from - families. Among
the questions asked are the earnings
of the head of the house and other
members, the amount expended for
rent, for groceries, for meats, taxes,
for charity and ADJUSTMENTS.
1t is no small task TO PROFOUND all
these questions and secure answers
from them, answers which shall be
true and at all close to the mark. The
majority of people don't know what
proportion of their incomes go to
these various objects and the seeker
after information has more troubles
than a census enumeratoT. People
do not object so much to telling how
old they are and who their maternal
great grandfather was and what he
died of, but when it comes to telling
stranger how much one spends for
meat and groceries in year if it is
not an impossible task, many will OBJ
iect to the publicity.
OF course Mr.. Ellis inquiries will be
used only in arriving at an average
for the city under the various heads
and the names of those he inquiries
from will not he made public nor APP
pear in the report. The tables pre-
pared from the results of asking -
people in each city will he used on
which to base comparative studies of
labor and home conditions.
