apportionment OF the 1905 Chicago con-
vention.
The basis used by the National Com
mittee in distributing delegates to the
national convention amongst the
states was attacked in statement to-
night by Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
president of the National Progressive
League.
The Progressive organization de-
nands that delegates be apportioned
on the basis of Republican votes cast
in the states; not on the basis of the
number of congressional districts.
Such a plan would greatly reduce the
number of delegates from Southern
States where the Republican vote is
small. Using the 7,657,754 votes cast
for President Taft as basis. and 1850
as the number OF delegates in the 1919
convention, the Progressive League es-
Inmates that there should be a dele
gate to the convention for each s.S65
Republican votes. That would reduce
Alabama to delegates. Mississippi to
5, South Carolina to 4. and other South
ern states proportionately, and would
increase New York's delegation to 1o2,
Pennsylvania. So: Illinois to 20. and
Ohio to So.

A Marvel For Sore Feet. Acts Right Off

Sore FeetF Never After Using TIZ-
Goodbye sore feet, aching feet,
swollen feet, sweaty feet, smelling feet,
tired feet.
Goodbye corns, callouses and bun
ions and raw spots.
You've never tried anything like TIz
before for your feet. It is different
from anything ever before sold.
It acts at once and makes the feet
feel remarkably fresh and sore-proof
TIZ is not a powder. Powders and
other foot remedies clog UP the pores.
TIZ draws out all poisonous exuda-
lions which bring on soreness Of the
feet, and is the only remedy that does.
TIZ cleans out every pore and glorifies
the feet-your feet.
You'll never limp again or draw up
your face in pain, and you'll forget
about your corns, bunfons and cal
louses You'll feel like a new person. :
If you don't find all this true after
trying a box of TIZ, you can get your

Disposition of West End
Residents Is to Let Propo-
sition Alone.

The proposed division Of the largest
county in Texas. by which east end resi-
cents of Ell Paso county hope to create
CulbeIson county. viii not be opposed
BIZ judge A s. J. Eylar of the county
court and commissioners Tom Love, Of
Sierra Blanca; ]. J. Smith, of YsIeta,
J. ]. Perez. of Socorro and James CI,s-
ford of FL Paso. The same sentiment
is voiced by a number of other FL Paso
county office holders. Inasmuch as an
agreement has been reached between
Sierra Blanca and Van Horn residents,
who are most vitality concerned, as to
the division line, the disposition Of
west end residents of the county is,
seemingly, to let the proposition alone.
Proposed County boundary.
The proposed new county is to en-
brace all territory in FL Paso county
lying east OF a line running directly
south from the northwest corner of
section 4. block Sc. township 1. T. & P.
grant, which is on the north line of
The county. It embraces 1900. 900 acres.
The line lies about four miles west of
Van Horn, which it is proposed to
make the county seat
Commissioners Unchanged.
In the event the division is secured,
FL Paso county would not lose any OF
her present commissioners. The only
change would be the loss to commits
sioner Love of Sierra Blanca Of the
east end of the district he represents
It is not probable. 1t is said, that the
balance of the county would be redis-
tlicted. as Mr.. Love would still have
considerable territory.
The main objection heretofore regis
tered against the division of the county
that east end residents wanted to in
clude too much territory In the new
county-can no longer be voiced, as
the division line is seemingly salts
factory to all who are interested in
land and towns which will be affected.
Sierra Blanca will be left in Ell Paso
county. Numerous fights have been
made in the legislature over the d.
vision line.
The Only Objection.
Sentiment is the only objection
registered by any Of the commissioners
against the division and that is ad-
RANGED principally by commissioner
Smith.
