That Canning Factory.

= b .. j. y
The Oasas Commercial Club has
More information from the Hastings
Industrial Company of Chicago, relative
to the canning proposition that has
been made for this city. In their
letter Of Dec. llth, they say in part:
: 1--WE enclose YOU herewith a pros
pectus of q corn canning factory, as
we take it for granted that you would
probably want an exclusive corn and
pumpkin canning factory. We build
canning factories at all prices, ranging
from IS, 500 up to 10000. It depends
on the size of the plant, the capacity
and the kind OF goods to be canned.
We think you would want good sized
corn canning factory, factory having
a capacity Of say 10000 cans per day
of ten hours run. A plant of this
kind, complete. with large building,
automatic machinery, everything ready
for operation, would cost in the neigh
borhood Of $1,000 Of course, we can
build a smaller and cheaper plant, and
larger one, but we believe this is the
kind of plant you people would want.
"We are also enclosing you herewith
one Of our canning text books, which
will give some information about the
proposition, and we shall be pleased to
refer you to plants that we have built
relative to the corn canning business.
"a factory such as we mention above
will require about five hundred acres. !"

of wholesome fun to add spice to the

met last week Tuesday at the home of
Mrs. A. R. Wright and enjoyed re-
view lesson in a most pleasing form.
The hostess had prepared sets of ques-

from the ordinary routine was followed

TAFTs STEAM ROLLER.
Wants Old System Observed of Nam
ing National Delegates.

Washington, D. c., December 49,
The great political event of the week
was the meeting of the national repub-
lican executive committee in this city.
Following banquet at the White
House, the members the next day set
tied down to the business of choosing a
place for the convention. and determin-
ing various details of the work of the
coming campaign. On the most i'm
portant matter which came before the
committee. namely, the question of en-
dorsing the presidential preference
primary, the meeting proved bitter
failure to true progressives. The fol-
lowing statement which was issued by
Walter L. Houser, chairman of the
progressive republican campaign COM
mittee, clearly sets forth the position
of the progressive versus the standpat
element Of the party:
''The committee provided that. in
states where there is now presiden-
tial primary, where the people, in other
words. are able to choose their candi-
dates for the highest office of the land,
that in those states, the state COM
mittees may-if they wish-act in ac-
cord with the law; but that, if they do
not care to abide by the direct man
date of the people, they may override
the law and provide for the election of
delegates to the national convention by
the old, discredited caucus and conven-
tion system, which would reestablish
all the Objectionable manipulation,
trading, bribing and bossing that is SO
repulsive to the people. The state central
committees. as a result Of this action,
are made more powerful than the peo-
pie, or than any expression which they
may utter.
i'So today the issue is simple and
clear. It is the people against the
machine. It is the progressive repub-
,licans, relying upon the people TO nom
mate whom they desire, against the
reactionary republicans, who rely not
upon the people. but upon the unre-
preventative and undemocratic methods
of personal machines. BY this action
the standpat section Of the party has
choked off what little chance it ever
had Of winning the favor Of the Amer
ican public. This action places Senator
LaFollette directly before the country
as its true and natural candidate"
