BUILDING OF COOPERATIVE STORE CO. AT NEW ORLEANS


is founded is that the nearer the
consumer is to the producer the
less he will have to pay for his
supplies. At the start the COM
pany has been able best to elimi-
nate expense on produce from
trucking farms and dairies, where
it has been possible to make pur-
chase directly from the producer.
Eggs have been sold at about two
cents less per dozen and butter at
from 2 to cents less per pound,
about the per cent charged by the
retailer. The margin of decrease
on articles from manufacturers
has been less, and will be until
contracts can be made for total
outputs. CertG.l brands of manu-
fractured or prepared foodstuffs
for example special kinds of can
med goods, can be sold only al
prices fixed for the retail trade.
In order to overcome this condi-
tion the company is now seeking
to make contracts with small com
lpanies for their outputs.
Ultimately the company plans
also to produce for itself prod

ucts from the farm and dairy.
With these adjuncts, and with IA
vorable contracts for manufac-
Itured foodstuffs, it will then be
in position to carry out the pur-
pose for which. it was formed
namely to act as agent and pur-
|veyor in providing foodstuffs for
the consumer direct from the pro-
Queer.
The company's capitalization is
$4,000, divided into $500 shares
of $40 each. No family may have
more than five shares, on each OF
which $50 worth of goods may be
bought monthly. About 1000
families are stockholders. Only
the stockholders may purchase
from the company.
When the company was formed
the belief was that the patrons
would come mostly from the la.
boring sections. On the contrary
the officials of the company say
that a large percentage of the
stockholders, which means con-
'sumers, are from the best resi-
Dental sections of the city.

in the fight for the maintenance
of his autocracy on the opening
of this congress.
In the light of such notorious
circumstances, which could be
multiplied indefinitely. how it
must stir the hearts of loyal re-
publicans to hear the bugle cry
of the Hills and Guggenheims for
the keeping of party faith.
Whether or.not have kept the
pledges of the republican party is
to be determined by reference to
my votes and actions in congress
and a consideration of the meas
ures voted and acted upon. The
party pledged itself to
a downward revision of the tariff
in good faith and to progressive
legislation for the effective control
of public service corporations and
to the honest administration of
the laws relating to forests and

In a clear, concise letter adj
dressed to Jesse Read of Tacoma,
Congressman Poindexter, the peo-
Plies candidate for the U. s. sem
ate effectively refutes the lies
printed against him in three
stand-pat papers. Poindexter re-
fuses to submit the question of
his republicanism to decision Of
John l.. Wilson, but he does pro-
pose to submit that question to
the people of the state.
His letter In full follows:
Washington, d. c., May "a, 1910.
Jesse Read,
Tacoma, Washington.
Dear Sir: have yours of re-
cent date and note your state
ment as to the misrepresenta-
lions of certain Seattle and Taco
ma papers questioning my party
conduct. In reply, i would say
that / do not propose to submit
the question of my republicanism
to the decision of John L. Wilson,
neither do / propose to submit it
to a convention called for the pur-
pose of nominating judges of the
supreme court.
The nomination of judges of the
supreme court should be kept en-
tirely free from bitter partisan
politics and should not be in
volved in any way with the sena-
torial campaign. Judges of the
supreme court should be nomi-
mated by the people at a non-par-
tisan primary as was provided in
the direct primary law of 1907;
but, now that a. convention has
been called for the purpose of
nominating these judges, it should
not be perverted into n vehicle to
further the candidacy either of
standpat or progressive republic
can candidates for the senate.
/ do not propose, as a candidate
for the senate, to engage in any
ohSh SOhtCSI III q COuNcntlOu GALL
ed for the purpose of nominating
judges of the supreme court; fur
thermore, II is notorious that the
demand for a direct primary NOM
ination law grew out of control
of conventions by political ma
chimes; and, of course, the big spe-
cial interests who throughout the
history of our state have been
seeking with more or less success
to dominate its politics will seize
every opportunity to revert to the
old system which gave such an
opportunity to the ward boss and
corporation agent. 1t is a species
of political atavism which should
be guarded against in every way
possible.
The direct primary law guar
antees to the party as whole an
opportunity for all of its adher-
ents to vote directly at the primary
election for their choice for Unit
ed States senate unhampered in
any way by caucuses or conven-
lions. The Tory press of the state
has been filled with statements
that / had voted against the
party pledges. Whether or not ]

other natural resources of the ma
ton so as t, prevent monopoly and
waste.
The standpatters either openly
or under cover have consistently
opposed every one of these party
policies; 1 have consistently up
held them in every vote and ac-
ton; and propose to submit this
question to the voters of the re-
publican party at a direct primary
election and not at a convention.
1 know that the people of our state
are far above the average elector-
ate in character and intelligence,
and am perfectly willing to abide
by their Judgment on these mat
tiers. 1 propose, however, under
the law, to have the benefit of
their judgment thereon.
With kinds regards,
Very truly yours,

UUUITII WI HLUUIIU
PEOPLES CANDIDATE FOR
SENATE REFUTES LIES Of
THE STAND-PAT PAPERS

Idixit of special friends OF the
Guggenheims and Hill railroads
and other big interests which
they are seeking to promote by
special legislation.
Their object is to defeat every
law which is proposed in the in
terest of the general welfare and
which would interfere in any way
with their monopolistic privi-
leges. They care nothing for
party pledges or party loyalty.
Their political methods are abso-
lutely INSCRIPTIONS as has been
demonstrated on many occasions.
Their attitude towards politics
is identically the same as that of
Mr.. Havemeyer, the head of the
sugar trust, who testified before
a senate committee that he was in
the habit of contributing to CAM
Ipaign funds. When asked to
which party he contributed, he re-
piled:
"That depends on circum-
stances"
ITO which party do you con-
tribute in Massachusetts,?
ITO the republican party"
"To which party do you CON-
tribute I'm New York;"
"To the democratic party"
ITO which party do you contrib
ute i'm New Jersey?"
"Well, that is a doubtful state,
and 1 will have to consult the
books as to that"
This indicates accurately the
real attitude of the big interests
towards party loyalty and party
principles. They are for the party
which will serve their interests;
and 1t has been demonstrated dur
ing this congress on many occa-
sions, as we'll as elsewhere, that
they maintain support in both po-
litical parties. Senator Foraker
and Representative Joe Sibley
look alike to them.
Their agents are the machines
and bosses in both parties. Dur
ing the last municipal campaign
in New York city, Representative
Parsons deliberately charged a
corrupt deal between the Cannon
machine in congress and the Tam
many Hall machine in the New
York legislature by which the Can
non national machine was to aid
the Tammany Hall municipal ma
chine in defeating in the New
York legislature certain police
Legislation desired by the better
elements of the republican party
in that state.
/ A great bluff was made by
Speaker Cannon as to what he
would do to Mr.. Parsons on ac-
count of this charge when con-
gress convened; but an expectant
public has waited in vain for one
word of denial, of investigation or
protest since congress met. The
charges were undoubtedly true,
and the action of Speaker Cannon
is equivalent to an admission
thereof. His consideration in the
deal was the support which the
New York city democratic repre-
sentatives in congress, under the
Leadership of Fitzgerald. gave him
