The CANDIDATE
MUST HUSTLE
Nomination Papers to be Filed
This Week.
Nomination OF Delegates TO the Con-
stttutional Convention Occurs
Aug. i3 Under Primary Law,

Little time to make up their minds
remains for those who expect to be candi-
dates for delegates to the constitutional
convention in districts where the nomina-
ton is by primary. The eighteenth SEN
atorial district which comprises lonla and
nation papers must be filed with the
secretary of State on July % and must
contain the names of one hundred quail
fled voters of the district.
In districts where one party adopted the
primary plan for the nomination of the
state senators in 1906. all parties must
select their delegates to the convention by
that method The three persons receiving
the highest number Of votes on each of
the party nomination tickets to be held
August 3 will be candidates for the
election which will occur September z.
No party enrolment is called for under
this act but every qualified voter is en-
titled to reserve and vote any party tick
ct he may ask for at the primary. The
district is overwhelmingly republican and
the democratic delegates. whoever they
may be, will be obliged to get lot Of re-
publican votes in order to win out. There
are thirty two senatorial districts in the
state and this will mean membership of
ninety six, who will draw salary of ten
dollars per day each The convention will
begin it's labors October % and must ad-
journ January 81, 1908 o.
The convention will cost the state prob
ably $2oo,ooo.00 If its product is not
the result of conservative and honest
work for the best interests OF the peo-
pIe-t will be rejected by the people
when put to vote aud this convention
will have failed as othsrs have failed.
The only guarantee against this is the
sending of delegates wno have the con-
fidence of the people. But alas, il this.
as IN the election 10 other Offices Of pub
lie trust, the men best fitted 70 fill the
place, and of m uurest jIdg tnent, are
un Ailling to submit ~ an election on par
tisan tickets where they would have to
compete with professional offlce-seekers
and mediocre politicians

A most ingenious and striking form OF
window decoration is the display OF Royal
Cuticle soap in one of the windows of
Patterson's department store.
Thousands of cakes Of this soap are so
arranged as to form fac simie in minia-
ture OF the United States capitol building.
now in the process of construction at
Washington. which shows how the struc-
ture will look when completed in 1911.
1t is viewed from the front elevation,
giving the mammoth arch Of triumph and
columns Of liberty.
So faithful has the designer been to de-
tail that the model. as It may be called
gives one most comprehensive idea OF
the appearance OF the finished building.
Even in soap it is most imposing. Credit,
however is due in large share to the
representatives of the soap company,
who prepared the attraction for Patter-
son. In handling their task they have
shown great amount of skill. and one
wonders how it was all done and with
such pleasing effect.
All the architectural features are not
only preserved with exactness. but so
emphasized as to add to the impressive
ness. There are seen larger and smaller
halls, the colonade. the divsionary rooms.
reading rooms and offices of the interior.
while surmounting these is the dome,
crowned by an American eagle Flags
complete the ornamentation.
In addition to the window exhibit an
other fac simile in miniature OF equal
historical interest is found in the interior
of the store. Here is the Mary Washing
ton monument at Fredericksburg, Va
which is represented very cleverly by
design Of cakes Of Royal Cuticle soap.

Melody took a world of punish

of the fight seemed staggered by stin
rights to his face came back fighting.
