dimensions equaled that of billiard

wide; and. strange to say for an Amer
lean publication, it had no advertise

After several days f strenuous work
on the part of the republican national
committee and the delegates chosen to
take part, the republican convention at
Chicago renominsted President Taft fpr
second term and named as his ruuuing
mate Wee. President Shermau. The
nominations we're made Saturday night
after the convention had neeL Ia session
continuously since the preceding Tues
day. The result was as anticipated
there never having been time during
the deliberations Of the convention but
that it was a foregone conclusion that
President Taft would receive the nomi-
nation. The president received 56l votes
while Mr.. Sherman received 597.
The closing scenes of the convention
were marked with considerable uproar,
ing 10 take any part 10 the proceedings,
delegates TO the number of 344 failing
to record their vote for any candidate.
After the domination of President
Taft a number of the Roosevelt delegates
withdrew to Orchestra hall, few blocks
distant from the Coliseum and proceed
ed to nominate Colonel Roosevelt, who
was prompt in his readiness to accept
it. Just what the outcome of this
minority convention will be is hard to
determine.
The platform as adopted renews
allegiance to the principles of the repub-
lican party aud devotion to the cause of
republican institutions; is opposed to
special privileges and monopoly; the
same certainly should be given to the
law prohibiting com binations and mono
poles that characterizes other provisions
of commercial law in order that 20
part of the field OF business opportunity
may be restricted by monopoly or com.
bination; reaffirms belief in a protective
tariff, holding that import duties should
be high enough, while yielding a suf-
ticient revenue, to protect adequately
American industries and wages. The
fact that the high cost OF living is not
due to the protective tariff system is

NO ORGANIZATION
OF ASSOCIATIONS
MANAGER of the Southern
Michigan Refuses to
Cooperate.
THE DIRECTORS ARE GUN SHY
NJ ID. Buskirk Explains to Readers of
this Paper why Associations Do
Not Cooperate.

During the winter and early spring a
number OF meetings were held by the
directors of the principal associations of
the Lawton fruit belt for the purpose of
establishing mo.e friendly feeling be-
tween the managers sud to eliminate the
costly price cutting tn has character
ized the ceiling of Michigan grapes for
the last several years, ana secure for
the growers at least living sale.
A lot of time and thought were eAs,
pended, articles were drawn, accepted
and adopted by the joint boards in ses-
sion.
Every man voted and signed agreeing
to cooperate in the matter of inspec-
ton and also the maintaining of prices,
but the meeting of June 81, when an
adiuster was to be appointed, vanished
all hope from the minds of the most
sauguipe.
The manager OF the Southern Michi-
gan, Mr.. Durham, backed by the board
of directors who had been active in
the previous meetings, refused to coop
crate with the Union and Exchange in
maintaining prices.
Their reasons, they SAID, was fear OF
the anti trust law and visions of chains
and prisons were very prevalent and be-
came almost epidemic wit h Southern
Michigan.
The manager of the Fruit Growers
Union, Mr.. Wlldey, offered tha il Mr.
Durham would set the price each even
ing, he, Mr.. Durham, being willing to
maintain same for the next "a hours, he.
Mr.. Wildey would not go below that
price minimum.
Then another spasm of fear seized Mr..
DuDham and he gasped, 81 dare not,
you must change the law first, am not
going to Jail"
We don't wish TO insinuate nor cast
reflections, but the manager of the
Southern Michigan is the most timid
child we ever saw that has not been
branded with hot pancake griddle
The fear of the anti-Sherman trust
law, prison and chains, is all tommyrot;
only an excuse to keep from being
forced into cooperation move where
by the grower could receive fair pit
tance for the risk, toll and outlay
Past seasons ruinous prices was not
wholly the result of over production,
nor the weather. The grapes were all
consumed and fair prices paid by the
consumer. Lack of cooperation cost
this section at least, cent basket,
meant a hundred and eight thousand
dolars to this grape belt last season and
the lack of it will cost another hundred
thousand this year, and every grape
must pay its toll. III you raise a thous-
and baskets of grapes, the lack of CO.
operation will cost you this full ten
(l0) dollars and that is more than the
most of US have in our pockets today.
If you don't believe it feel and see.
Now Mr.. Grape Gro wer, it is up to you
and what are you going to do about itr
A re you going to let your grapes be
auctioned off to the lowest bidder as has
been the custom?
Better that a few martyrs should
iangush in prison in a just and right
eous cause, than whole community
go bankrupt.
