an officer in the civil war and has
since been much in Office. He was
elected TO the lower branch of Congress

A comparatively lower volume of pay

railroad returns continue falling be-
hind those at this time last year, and the
offerings of heavy freight from the mills
and factories remain light. There is,
however, heavier forwarding of farm pro-
ducts, and trade makes further response
to more settled weather, although evil

rather slowly and notable demands in the
leading industries yet make a meager adj
vance.

SUES UNDER NEW RATE LAW.

Secretary Metcalf Commences Action
Against Two Express Companies.
The first formal complaint by the
United States under the new rate law
was filed with the interstate commerce
commission the other day. Secretary of
the Navy Metcalf originated the case,
which is brought against the Adams Elk
press and the Northern Pacific Express
companies. The complaint itself is sim
pie, involving the question of reasonable
ness of rates, and is based on the princi-
pie that a through rate shall not exceed
the totals of local rates. On July 20,
1907, the new department shipped from
Washington to Bremerton, in the State
of Washington, BIAS pounds of merchan-
disc. The rate charged was $11.75 hun
dred pounds, whereas the rate from
Washington, D. c., to Seattle is $10.S5
per hundred and from there to Bremen
ton 30 cents a hundred, or a total of
$11.35 a hundred pounds, and the com
mission is asked to enforce that as the
lawful through rate.

while they have no voice in the actual
selection of President, they have a
slight voice In the deliberations Of the
body which dominates.
The choice of delegates to national
convention is accomplished by what
is known as the machinery of the vol
uItary party organization. When the
Constitution was adopted, and the Of
fee of President created, there was no
idea of a national party, like the Re-
publican party, or the Democratic par
ty, in the minds of the members of the
constitutional convention. The people
have worked out the scheme of holding
a national convention and nominating
party candidates without any national
or constitutional law to guide them.
Consequently the system is rather
ragged at the edges.
In theory the two delegates from
each congressional district are chosen
at district conventions, made up Of
delegates who are themselves chosen
by primary elections. All members of
the party in good and regular stand
ing are supposed to vote at these pri-
mary elections. Often the public at
large pays no attention to these pre-
liminary steps, and the delegates
chosen at the district conventions are
the men named by the local party
leaders.
The first business that faces a ma
tional convention is to determine who
are the properly chosen delegates en-
titled to take part in its proceedings.
This question is first passed upon by
the nat.osal committee and is later
passed upon by committee on creden-
tials appointed by the delegates who
are first seated in the convention.
The party's national committee is
made up of a member from :, CHI State
and Territory The committeeman are
chosen by each State delegation and
announced at the close of the national
conventions work.
Machinery of the Convention.
