OF ALL THE FOOLISH PERFORMANCES,

OF all the ridiculous performances
that have been provoked by factional-
ism running riot this unseemly scram :
BILE to put two electoral tickets in the
field is the worst that has yet occurred.
The primary campaign has been in
progress for months. If there was any
political Importance, advantage or pur-
pose in having friendly electors, the
factions would have had their candi-
dates in the field long ago. Both sides
were allowing these perfunctory posi-
tions to go by default. Practically the
only districts that presented candi-
dates for electors had presented stand
patters and at the Eleventh hour the
Cummins men got busy and dragged
out candidates for the vacant places
not attempting in one single instance
to oppose a standpat candidate for
elector 1t is very natural that they
called on their own friends to circu-
late petitions and chose men Of their
own crowd. A man in politics always
turns to his friends and acquaintance
when he wants work done. There was
no more reason to kick about who were
selected for places which nobody
wanted than there would be if some
one should ask for the privilege of vot-
ing the republican ticket. Back Of it
was Mr.. Blythe's personal hostility to
the selection Of Mr.. Copeland, who is
giving him so much trouble in Bur
lington. Copeland is one of the prom
inent business men of the town, has
been chairman Of the city republican
organization for years and is entirely
worthy to be honored. The stand
patters who hurriedly met in protest
were making of themselves lickspittles
for Blythe and ought to have had sense
enough to know it.

STATE FAIR ADVERTISING.
The decision of the state fair I

The decision of the state fair man
agement to appropriate $4,000 for adj
vertising the fair in the newspapers
will not amount to much business for
any one newspaper, but the principle
Of the thing will satisfy the newspaper
publishers and result in 100000 worth
OF valuable publicity for which the
fair management will pay nothing.
When divided into 80 piles for 90 coun-
ties the appropriation will amount to
about $40 per county, with several
newspapers to satisfy at that, so few
publishers are going to get more than
car fare out Of it.
The thing that has made the average
newspaper man swear is the practice
of spending thousands of good dollars
for calendars, Autographs and novelties
and then come begging around to the
newspapers to raise the crowds for an
attendance. In this respect the state
fair managers have erred no differently
from the average local management Of
a county fair, a horse race. a picnic,
barbecue or Of any other public UNI
dertaking. The advertising committee
will always blow in its advertising ap-
preparation on the novelty kinds Of ad-
vertising, which no experienced or sue
cessful merchant will ever use for his
dry goods business and then when the
money has been spent with no results,
about a dozen Of the promoters will
"lay down" on the editor to pull the
enterprise thru with his newspaper adj
vertising which the people read.
The state fair management have
come to, and it will not make much
difference whether their appropriation
Is large or small, the newspapers will
take care Of the fair. Even the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, the trust
which has been spending s1,250,000 per
wear for big bill-boards along the
railways from New York to San Fran
cisco, has "cut it all out" for news
paper advertising. The difference
which they all discover, is that the
public pays its subscription for the
privilege Of reading one class Of adj
vertising and reads what it pays for,
while the other class is forced on peor
pie when they are thinking about
something else; unsightly, obnoxious
and in the way

CONSERVING RESOURCES POPULAR.


Problem: How are 5000 of the
biggest men in the United States to be
seated in room that can't possibly
seat over 500 people?
Problem No. 2: How are $4,000 9TH
er of the big men of the United States
to be convinced that they aren't en-
titled to seats along with the ones who
get them?
Those are among the puzzles just
now confronting the advisers of Pres
ident Roosevelt in connection with the
entertainment of the convention Of
governors of states, which will be held
at Washington less than month hence.
The difficulty isn't worrying the presi-
dent; he is letting his social aides do
the worrying. He is merely pleased
over the assurance that his gathering
is going to be a great success.
The White House mail these days is
deluged with requests, applications, de-
mands, for invitations to the confer
ence on the conservation of natural
resources. The president himself will
call the gathering to order, and report
is that he is doing more work on the

ability and force, even if nothing more
