ship your Strawberries again this season. We were
successful in making usual record last year for
the highest returns and quickest settlements with
growers. Last season we strengthened our hold on
our old customers and added many new ones to our
list, which resulted in a largely increased business,
and added to our daily average returns. We are
already receiving numerous inquiries and indications
are for big demand for Hood Strawerres this
year. We will need heavy daily receipts of straw
berries to meet the increased demand If you have
not already arranged to ship with us this year,
do so at once, as it very important to you we'll
as to US that we know in advance how many berries
we are going to handle

Taft Shut Out

IF the supporters of Present Taft can e a ray of hope in
the situation in California, they must have extraordinary pow
es Of sight. AS we look over the political field, We realize that
the theft by which the Bull Moose leaders intend to grab the
Republican Presidential electoral ticket has been all but con
summated. Certainly it will be carried through uunless "a lot
of legislative candidates feel the pricking of conscience and re
fuse to be parties to the outra ge, which is very unlikely in view
of the fact that the johnson machine has picked its men careful
ly. That the Bull Moosers will control the Republican State
Convention, composed of Republican nominees for the Leeis'a-
turet and hOldover Republican Senators, must be granted.
It is more than a ) to ] advantage they have over the Taft
itees; it is, strictly speaking. a 81 to II advantage, for the Bull
Moosers need fight for only eleven districts to get a majority,
while the real Republicans must win in 81 contests to obtain con-
troll. Thus it must appear that the prospect of naming a Re-
publican electoral ticket pledged to vote for the Republican
nominees for President aOnd vice President is hopeless. The
Bull Moosers with the state political machine and all its patron
age and favors to whip voters into line have a cnch.
There is no use trying to dodge the fact any longer that
Taft has been shut out of California. He has been robbed OF
the place to which he is entitled on the presidential ballot and as
a result the fight in the state viii be between Roosevelt and Will
son. Every Republican who believes in Taft will vote for Roose-
welt if he casts his ballot for the electors whose names will APP
pear in the Republican column on the ballot. He should, there
fore. either refrain from voting or get in and help Wilson de-
feat Roosevelt in the contest for the thirteen electoral votes IN
acknowledgements Union.

Towing With the Moose

1T now transpires that active agents of the stand pat he
publican party are toying with the Bull Moose faction. This is
especially true in regard to the election of Senator Massey. An
agent of the oldline party has been making advances to the
Progressives to endorse Mr.. Massey for the job, and thus pre-
vent a third man from entering the field. How successful this
has been is the question that is agtating the minds of the Mass
ey promtors.
Judge Massey has anpounced emphatcaly that he is a
stand.pat. high-tarff Republican of the old school, and will
stick to Taft through the entire fight. He makes no bones OF
his position. He was forninst the Progressive movement, was
opposed to Roosevelt and voted against his policies. That Is
the Senator's plain stand.
endorse the Senator. 1t has taken a monumental gall to go
that far, but the party proposing the alliance is noted for his
nerve, which is unfailing. just how he can cOnscientiOusly ask
a Progressive to endorse Senator Massey, who is an avowed OPP
ponent to the candidate. the principles and the motives of the
Moose Party, is the question that confronts the members OF
that organization.
Considering the standard of the two, the utterances of Col.
Roosevelt, and the program OF the Progressives, it docs not look
like a sealing of the issues between them. Should such a course
follow the Progressives would be a laughing stock from a con
sistency standpoint. If oil and water mix it is through a new
process only discovered by a Taft follower who can put the
blinds on the Progressives.
