THEY WANT VAN CLEAVE
TO PRESIDE AGAIN
AS PRESIDENT
National Association OF Man.
ufaCturers In Session
at New York
City.
MEMBERS FAVOR
TARIFF BOARD
They Feel That If Van Cledve
Quits the Attemp. to Secure
Commission Will
be Dismal
Failure.

New York, May 1.-THE annual
convention of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers began here
today and will continue for three
days There are rumors of contest
among the members of the presi-
dency. The basis of the contest is
the declination of James w. Van
Cleave, of the Buck stove company
Of st. Louis, to again accept the pres
idency, which ne mas now held for
three years, and the fight which the
association has made for several
years to obtain a competent tariff
commission, made up at least in part
of outside experts on tariff schedules.
The friends OF the tariff commission
plan regard Mr. Van Cleave's reten-
ton in the office of president as es-
sential to the success of their move
ment, and they have been Emporium
ing him with the utmost vigor to
reconsider his determination not 20
accept a reelection.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Van
Cleave can have the place again II
a.e will SAY the word, but tbs tarin

he persists in his declination the votes
of the association may go to can
dfdate who is opposed to the com
mission plan. The result in the con
vention is likely to be, therefore
that declination or no declination,
many of the tariff commission advo-
Gates will cast their votes for Mr..
Van Clcave.
So strongly DO the advocates of
the commission plan feel regarding
the necessity Of retaining President
Van Cleave that several congress
men have entered into the movement
to induce him TO withdraw his declin-
alton. Senator Beveridge of Indiana
who is recognized as a spokesman of
the project i'm the upper house OF
Congress. has written to several MEM
bers of the association a letter, in
which he says:
81 am deeply alarmed to see that
President Van Cleave is going to de-
cline recollection to the presidency of
the National Association of Manufac-
turers.

sociation have been by far the most
powerful factors i'm bringing to its
present promising stage this tre-
mendous business measure. You
know very well that when | began
this fight in the senate more than a
year ago | wrote u President Van
Cleave that there was little prospect
of accomplishing anything for a good
while, yet kept on fighting.
while ! have done the legislative
work. President Van Cleave and the
association have been the effective
force that has organized and aroused
public sentiment in the business
world IN favor OF this indispensable
plan OF business legislation.
"Now We are about to get It
through. II President Van Cleaye de-
clines reelection / am very much
afraid it may fail at the very mo-
ment of victory. He simply must
not decline"

The announcement that the postof-

If you please, here is two letters for
you, Miss Garland" and the small self
appointed postman took a good, soul
satisfying look. then hurried down 10
where his playmates were waiting and
made this startling announcement:
Say, kids, Miss Garland's been cry
in. She sort o. turned way SOS I
couldn't see her eyes; but her cheek was

Tears were not an uncommon occur
renee in JOhnny's little world, yet the
idea of "the princess" in tears seemed
so prepOsterous that the information
was greeted with ieers of WAT are you
givin' Us?" and Johnny was obliged to
fight half the alley before his word re-
ceived proper credence.
In the meantime, all unconscious Of
the juvenile warfare she was causing,
ElOise Garland dried ner tears and
turned her attention to her mail, ex-
periencing a sickening disappointment
as she took from its envelope the manu-
script of her last story with the editors

She had built a great many hopes upon

looked as though fashioned for smiles
and kisses rather than the fOrlOrn ex-
preston it now wore; put even a very
pretty girl may be pardoned for looking
somewhat tragic when she is hungry,
and EiOise could not remember when
she had been so hungry BEFORE; and she
had become quite a 'sonnoiseur in the
matter of hunger, too.
Just now, as she sat by the window,
the odor Of cOrnbeef and cabbage which
Mrs. Milligan was cooking for dinner,
mingled although it was with divers
reminiscent odors Of couations past.

proved her hunger genuine in that she
almost envied the young Milligans who
would presently sit about the family
board.
Not always since the girl began her
hand to hand struggle for bread had
fate dealt so hardly with her. When, by
one of those quick turns which the god
dess fortune sometimes gives her wheel,
ElOise Garland found herself one of
that vast army OF solitary women
equally destitute of family and fortune,
having to choose between the competing
charms Of school teaching. art music or
literature, she selected the latter be
cause the others were obviously out of
the question In truth, she could not
write very well; but just at first her ig-
norance Of life (and Thetoric) had i'm
parted a certain charm and naivete to
her articles and verses; so that not in
frequently an editor had smiled upon
her to the extent of a check upon which,
elated and triumphant, she stepped
from the depths of poverty up into the
sunit elevation where dollar may be
heard to click against dollar.
She found respectable, if not luxu-
rious, or even exactly cheerful, lodg-
ings in this house, which was called
THE Fair View" probably because it
presented a view of nothing fairer than
brick walls in front and clothes lines
hung with an interesting collection of
habiliments in the rear. The other lOdg-
ers were kindly people and they felt
that the girls patrician beauty con-
ferred a sort of distinction upon the
place. The children wele each and all,
her personal friends. While they knew
she was poor, no one suspected the ac-
tual want into which she had fallen.
Reserve on her side and diffidence on
theirs rang down a curtain between
them-that severe, ridiculous, self-cOn-
sciOus curtain called pride. 1t was very
natural. this pride, all the same.
Lifting her head with a tired little
sigh, Eloise slipped her rejected manu-
script into a drawer of the table and
took therefrOm a very slim purse. She
emptied the contents into her lap; a
broken breastpin, a bath ticket, a clip
ping of poetry, and one silver dollar
the last piece of money she possessed,
or, indeed, had any reasonable hope of
possessing. She held it in her hand and
studied the classic profile of the Cod

We appeal for good business methods in adj
verdsing-such as you apply outside.
Employ salesmen-in-print on just the same
basis as you employ salesmen-in-person-
Accept no improved boasts. Sign no con-
tracts. Put it up to the men to make good.
That is the only way to place men on their
mettle-to keep them at constant white heat.
Cling to them as long as no other men can
outsell them. But always leave room to give
the better man a show.
Advertising has not been largely done on
that basis.
The advertising agent has demanded con-
tract, binding the advertiser for from one to
three years.
The contract was bEndly made-made before
the agent had started to show results.

We Seek the Advertisers
Who Want Light

We seek mail order advertisers who are anx-
ious for way to reduce their selling costs.
We seek general advertisers who want to
find ways to get more results for their money.
We seek the wise men-the good business
men-the men who want actual proofs.
We will tell these men how, with absolute
certainty, to pick out the agent who can outsell
the rest.

nothing to do but quit
We have abandoned contracts.
No client of ours binds himself to remain
with US. None states how much he will spend.
We abide by results.
IF any agent can prove the power to outseu
us, our client is free to go.

But we urge the demanding of actual proofs.
Any agent who can outseu another can prove
it beyond any question.
He can prove it without asking you for any
commitment. He can prove it, if you wish,
while most Of your advertising still goes
through other channels.
We shall welcome the time when advertisers
in general awake to this fact, and employ it.
There is a way to prove if your advertising
can bring better results than now.
There is way to know if any agent can OUT
sell the one you employ.
The way is easy, and the result sometimes
has proved to be worth fortune.
If you are interested, simply write Us:
please explain the way"
