Movement Started to Purchase Homes
for Them There.
A movement has been started in Chi
cago to establish n branch of the Jew
ish Colonial Trust Company. for the pur-
pose of raising funds to purchase homes
in Palestine for prosecuted Jews. Joseph
Cowen of London is the organizer. He
has visited Boston, New York and St.
Louis in an effort to get additional funds
for the purchase of lands. The fund al
ready has more than S1,25O,O0O of the
S10.OO0,0OO capital needed. 1t is planned
to get a subscription of S5 from each
of the 1900 Zionists in Chicago, and the
remaining 5000 Jewish Zionists in the
Western States.
'It is only question of a short time
until practically all of the orthodox
Jews will be Zionists," said Mr.. Cowen.
"All the Jews are in favor Of the move
ment, but certain of them want to get
the land by prayer, by some miracle,
while we believe in a practical method.
The one objection to becoming a Zion
ist-that We are not patriotic to the
country in which we live-is fast fading
away. We are loyal to our respective
governments, but we want to establish
n home state without any army or
navy or any other defense except our
good will for all nations"

the Chicago drainage canal, which it fol-
lows to Chicago, and finds its terminus
in Lake Michigan.
At present the government Is building
n canal from Chicago to the Mississippi,
but it has emily a seven-foot channel,
which does not permit navigation of
heavy draft steamers. 1t is known as
the Illinois and Michigan canal. Work
was started on it in 1890, and still con-

HOW CONVENTIONS NOMINATE
Each Great National Party Assembly
Makes Its Own Rules.

Each national party convention makes
its own rules Of procedure. Practically
one convention exercises no control over
the succeeding one. Yet precedent gov
erns every convention to large extent.
One custom, digniied by long usage, was
followed for years in the gatherings of
both parties-the recognition of the right
Of the majority of delegates from n
State to control the vote Of the whole
delegation. This is known as the unit
rule"
The Republican convention Of 1876
abandoned the practice by permitting a
minority Of the delegates from one State
to vote against the candidate preferred
by the majority. The convention Of 1880
formally adopted rule that IL there
were any exception taken to the an
norncement Of the vote of any State the
roll of delegates from that State should
be called and the result thus obtained
should be recorded. This rule was un-
successfully opposed by the New York
delegates who favored Gen. Grant, and
desired that the anti-Grant delegates
from New York should not be allowed
to vote their sentiments.
The Tammany opponents of Cleveland
in the New York delegation to the Dem
ocratic convention of 1884 tried to Sc
cure the adoption of rule which would
permit them to vote as individuals in
stead of in a unit, but failed, and the
unit rule still prevails in the Democratic
convention.
The Democrats have another rule, dat
ing from 1882, which has withstood the
attacks of its opponents for seventy-two
years. 1t provides that the vote of two
thirds of the delegates shall be neces-
sary to nominate. In the Republican
convention majority suffices. The op-
ponents Of the nomination of Martin
Van Buren insisted on the adoption of
the ''two-thirds rule" in 1914, and al
though Van Buren, had majority on
the first ballot, he could not obtain the
necessary two-thirds. James K. Polk,
the first dark horse" was sprung on
the convention in accordance with a pre-
arranged plan, and was nominated in
stampede.
Tuesday after the first -Montfay-in
November was fixed as the date for the
election or appointment of presidential
electors by act of Congress in 1915, and
the law took effect for the first time in
1S4S. Prior to that time each State
fixed its own date for the election of
electors. The trainers of the constitution
did not contemplate the selection of
presidential electors by popular vote In
the early part of the last century many
States chose electors by the Legisla-
lures. South Carolina continued that
practice until 1860.

The volume Of business in the North

the feeling that general trade had

merchandise has been expedited and
sentiment materially improved. Col
