MORRIS PUSH NAMES
ITS DISTRICT SLATE
ORDERLY MANNER OF SELECT
ING THE TICKET
When Done "Eddie" Pulls the Printed
Pastors and Distributes Them.
Delegation Headed by
w. Ona Morton

The second caucus of the Seventy
fifth district Democrats at the Nadeau
hotel last night looked like roll call
of Joe Margolis' club. In addition there
were a number who can find Tom
Savage'S place with their eyes closed
The caucus was composed of practically
the same crowd that was present Sat
urday night when Eddie" Morris was
authorized to select the ticket for the
district, but it did it's work with chloro-
form instead of bludgeon.
This caucus, under the careful tute-
lage of the county committee, went
through it's program quickly and with
order. The action was unanimous.
There was good nature, too. In fact
night were ready to feed out of the
hand and chase their own tails
At 1880 the first of the Margolis
forces entered room 146 and seated
themselves on the sample tables that
filled the room. Then groups followed
by fours and fives until the room was
filled by about forty. j. A. Craig was
chosen chairman and e. f. Gerecht sec
retary. Nominations were asked for
and made and the seven nominated
by acclamation. There were no
speeches. Adjournment was prompt.
Then it was that Eddie" Morris pro-
duced with the magic of conjurer the
printed pastors for the delegatlon
chosen. Fabulous as it may seem they
bore the exact names of the delegates
so spontaneously proposed and NOM
mated. These names were w. Ona
Morton, William Mead ]. A. Craig, E..
j. Morris, ]. J. Mountain, Israel Mar
golis and Timothy Spellacy.
1t was given out that there had been
contest" between Mr.. Morton and
Mr. Spellacy, who is chairman of the
state central committee, as to which
would head the ticket. This was one
of the reasons why, it was said, the
ticket was not ready Saturday night.
Mr.. Spellacy. however, said if he had
been in a contest he had not known it.
having been out of the city for ten
days, but nevertheless he was thankful
to have been nominated. Mr.. Spellacy
said he hoped all the best men NOM
mated would be elected.
There is a question as to whether
William Mead can serve if elected, as 1t
is said he lives in Hollywood, outside
the Seventy-fifth district.
And thus was the conduct of Eddie"
Morris. which Chairman Schwamm de-
clared 'intolerable' punished. Morris
is still state committeeman and mem
ber of the county committee from his
district, although Mr.. Schwamm said he
would remove him.

Stock Feeding" says:
Our stable experiment stations have
conducted numerous feeding expert
ments with animals, in which bal
anced and unbalanced rations have
been compared. At the Kansas eXpe-
riment station, corn, prairie hay and
corn stOver, combination having a
nutritive ration of Ill, was fed to
steers in contrast with a balanced ra-
ton having nutritive ration of 1:65.
The average of three trials showed
that 2S per cent. less feed was re-
quired for a given increase in weight
with the balanced ration.
In an experiment at the Nebraska
experiment ctation, with yearling
steers, it was found that, to make the
same gain, 20 per cent. less food was
required with corn and alfalfa than
