banks is elected president and the
democratic party leader appears
who has platform which meets
his approval, Heney will leave the
fold of the republican party. Heney
talked politics this morning in con-
nection with the boom which has
been started in an effort to boost
him into the gubernatorial chair OF
California. He said he would not
accept any Office unless he had
some definite object in view. II he
does run for governor it will be
to wrest power from Herrin and
the Southern Pacific.
If he is a candidate for governor
at this time 1t will be on the re-
publican ticket, not because he be-
lieves a party name amounts to
anything, but because he is a re-
publican as men of the party are
defined by Roosevelt.

LONG SHOT.

The Warwick poolroom's "hand-
book" Is being conducted daily
right under the noses of police Of
ficers, who appear blind for some
unknown reason, to the fact even of
the existence of such a thing. Ev-
cry afternoon when the Seattle
races start, scores of people pass
in and out of the Warwick and
make their bets just the same as
though there was no anti-pool SELL
ing ordinance.
Yesterday afternoon riot was
almost precipitated over the pay
ment of $40 that bettor had won
on 10 to l shot. The manner in
which the bets are placed, now
that things must be done under
I cover, makes it easy to beat man
out OF HIS winnings If by any chance
he happens to win. When bet is
made the receipt given is card
on which is a number. After the
race is run this ticket is presented
and the sheet" has a record Of it.

special Correspondence to The Press.
TOLEDO, Sept. 11.-Pause, COM
mon people, you and your wife, who
Is worrying over the size of her
grocery bills, long enough to read
this. 1t will give you still another
view of the 40 per cent increase in
the cost of living. as shown In a
series OF articles in this newspaper
based on reports of the United
States bureau of statistics.
A great war is being waged by
100 grocery jobbing houses in Ohio,
20 In Michigan and 20 in Indiana,
against a Toledo grocery jobbing
house which has been adjudged
guilty by them of the heinous
crime of cutting prices. The same
hold-up principle prevails in every
state.
After the wholesale grocery trust
which flourshed in Ohio for years
was broken up by the Valentine
antitrust law, l Of the members
of the former combine started in on
new line Of business. He con-
cluded to dispense largely with
travelling statesmen and sell goods
by catalogue, cutting prices below
those fixed by the trust
Immediately there was a protest
from other jobbers, and It appears
now that all the iobbers in the
3 states are united in a fight
to put this 1 price cutting grocer
out of business.
One Of the first moves made was
to. try to induce manufacturers to
force this firm to maintain prices
or refuse to sell 1t goods.
1t has developed that when man.
ufacturers send their goods to the
jobbers, prices are fixed at which
the jobber must sell the retailer.
II the jobber sells below the
fixed prices the manufacturer must
refuse to sell him any more goods,
under penalty of losing the bust
ness Of all the pobbers in the COM
bine
In other words the price cutter
has his supply shut off, and If the
combine succeeds he is put out of
business.
The Toledo firm, the Dow-Snell
Co., has already been informed by
certain manufacturers that they
cannot have any more goods unless
the Dow-Snell people agree to main
tain prices to the retailer.
Here is an extract from a letter
received by President E. E. Dow
from a manufacturing concern in
Richmond, Va:
1--WE are today in receipt of let
ters from all our customers in your
city, complaining that you are cut
ting the prices of our products, and
saying, in effect, that unless We
can induce you to put stop to
this practice they will discontinue
the sale of them.
Another manufactured grocery
product is listed for sale by the job
bers at $2.85. The cost to the job
Der is $1S6. Dow-Snell catalogued
1t to retailers at $2.55. They re-
ceived a letter from the manufac-
turer, which says:
This practice is against our in
terest and against yours, and under
the circumstances we will be OBJ
liged to discontinue selling the
goods to your firm
But this is not the limit. Many
