Late Saturday the Republicans OF
Miami county held their convention and
the board of county commissioners. The
vote on the resolutions was 1S0 to 20,
while 13 did not vote.
"A man is best known at home. We
cannot believe that so large mum ber
of the people of his county would vote
for such resolutions if they did not hon
estly believe him unworthy of the office
he seeks The proof seems to be against
him. We hold that love of country
should be above love of party. We con-
fess we do not quite understand the sit
uation in Miami county, but we must
resolve doubts in favor of a clean state
ticket. We take his name from the list
of nominees and advise all Republicans
to vote against him unless satisfactory
evidence can be furnished that the peo-
pie of his county are wrong"

Chicago, Aug. 19-Following the In

declaration that economy in the manu-
facture and distribution of agricultural
the $120, ,OO0, 900 merger, several of the
Chicago companies in the combine have
issued letters to their agents through
out the country ordering a reduction of
about three-fourths in the number of
employees representing them in the field.
The other npanies in the combine are
preparing to follow their example. Ten
thousand men in all are expected to lose
their jobs.
The men whose services are to be dis
pensed with are the canvassers and
travelling statesmen, whose work has
been to solicit orders from small dealers
and farmers The reduction is also ex-
pected to lessen materially the volume
of correspondence, and thus render un-
necessary the employment of as large
an Office force as heretofore
