placed on its third, and what he
knew would be its fatal reading.
Had Deal Framed Up.
Councilman Salmson, chairman
of the committee. quickly really
ing Hawley's motive, asked that
the franchise be allowed to remain
with the committee one week. The
Sunset cohorts, however, acted as
one man, and after a long parlia-
mentary squabble between Presi-
dent Bellingham and Councilman
Whitman, they forcibIy took the
franchise from the committee.
Forgot Promises.
Then followed another obstacle
to General Ashton's forces. Coun-
Gilman Richards recalled the fact
that Giblett and Hawley had at
one time agreed to vote for the in
dependent franchise providing the
word automatic was inserted. A
motion to insert the word was car
ried, but Giblett and Hawley had
forgotten their promise.
The ordinance was then read
and the final vote taken with the
result as given above.

Your suggestion that my candidacy

republicans from over the district IL is
apparent TO me that the republicans of
this district are united upon tho essential
question involved. which is the dcternina-
ton TO redeem this district at the COM

dates are in the field. Personally / have
no desire to enter the race. As republi-

let us all support our leader and the dis

rocked from ocean to ocean and from
Gpanaiuaio ON the north and the istfhnus

The disturbance was most severely felt

thrown down.
The quake caused a near panic here.
Hundreds rushed to the zocato where they
ran aimlessly about or foil on their
knees TO pray.
Their actions were watched by Presl.

aside from the throwing down OF a few
adobe walls, no serious damage was done.
The first shock was felt at 1870 and
continued for Il few seconds more than

STATE GRANGE ON TARIFF
Resolutions Passed Demanding Pro.

IN FAVOR OF A PARCELS Post
DispIeauure Expressed with PFesi-
dent for His stand ON the sub
Ject of Reciprocity with
Canada.

BROKEN BOW. Neb., Dec. l1.--(Spe-
olal)-At tho first annual session OF the
Nebraska State Grange last Wednesday
the legislative committee submitted It's
report, which was adopted, as follows:
The Grange is nonpartisan and is or
ganized for the betterment OF the farmer.
But We believe, like all other industrial
organizations. that we should support
and oppose men politically who support
and oppose measures affecting our in
terestss and we would recommend that
you hereby authorize the state legislative
committee to discover and publish the
position Of all candidates OF all parties
for governor. congressman and the legis-
lature upon the measures we herewith
recommend
I'VE favor u parcels post over our en-
tire postal system for packages of a
minimum weight OF twelve pounds with
graduated charge OF a minimum OF
ceEts and a maximum of 20 cents per
package. We hereby express our dis
pleasure with the republican president
and a democratic house for evldencing
a disposition TO place the burden OF tariff
revision downward upon the producers Of
raw material by agreeing to reciprocity
with Canada, which placed farm products
upon tho free list without correspond
ing advantage to the farmer upon manu-
featured articles.
Cheap Hides, Not Cheap shoes.
Hides were placed upon the free list
one year ago, but not the manufactured
product, Cheap hides have not made
cheaper shoes, nor do we believe that
cheaper wool and cotton will make
cheaper clothing. To argue that cheaper
raw material will make the manufactured
product cheaper is to dispute the gem
orally believed fact that the manufacture
ing combines keep the price oI their
product up TO the top OF our tariff wall
regardless Of the cost OF production.
Free raw material hurts the producer and
helps the manufacturer.
"As further evidence Of our contention
that the government fosters manufactur-
ing at the expense OF agriculture. the re-
cent census shows the trend OF our popu-
laton cityward
I'VE demand that IL the farmer is 10
sell IN free market he must be per-
mitted 20 buy IN the same.
we favor the proposed amendment In
the state constitution known as the in
itiative ana the referendum.
