in takes occasion to quote some
of his findings with regard to the
Farmers General Service Co.
and their method Of doing busi-
ness. Following is an extract:
AS a first step in looking over
the catalog furnished by the COM
pany, one notes at once the num-
ber Of references, business
houses. On writing these firms
some of them state that they
have had no business relation
with this company and so can
furnish no information; others
state that they have sold no
goods direct to them, but that
some of their goods have passed
through jobbers into their hands;
another firm states that all trans
actions be cash." etc.
In looking over the list of pro-
ducts which were examined by
the food department and reject
ed as not complying with the
state pure food law, we note the
following:

Co., Minneapolis, MINI. Sold to
Mrs. Herman Minchow, Beach,
N. D. Our analysis Of this pro-
duct showed the same to consist
almost entirely of tea stems with
very few h'ayes pc ent, and to
this there had been added an ex-
tract Of catechu. Certainly, a
product falsely labeled, not tea
at all but tea stems, to which had
been added a foreign ingredient
to give the flavor and appear
ance Of tea. =
The company, it will be re.
membered, made considerable
hay" throughout the Golden
Valley last year, and quite a
number of farmers in this locali-
ty were inveigled into signing
promissory notes, upon which
collection has since been attem-
pied. This requirement, the
company represented, was simp-
ly to show evidence Of good faith
on the part Of the applicant for
the company's benefits, and
was collectible only in the event
of non-fulfilment Of certain me
cessary conditions, which Ladd
contents as being impossible of
fulfilment and the lack of which
gave the company recourse upon
the signer thereof. The applica-
tion of the farmer who was led
to believe that he could make
a trial of the medicines and uti-
lize the advantages of the COM
pany for a period of sixty days,
provided he complies with the
requirements states:

kee Socialists enter today's election
confident that the administration of
Mayor Emil Seidel will be upheld, but
apparently tremendous odds against
them. When the Socialists gained
control of the municipal machinery of
Milwaukee it was in an election when
the conservative vote was divided be-
tween Democrats and Republicans.
No such conditions prevail in today's
battle of ballots. The conservative
element which considers that Social
ism is stigma" on Milwaukee's fair
name, has combined and Republicans
and Democrats have united to swoop
back the tide of Socialism.

the city primary, as against 1874
cast for Seidel and 1880 for Con-

ton. They have naturally turned
to the newspapers to engineer the

and States. The dollars and dimes
which will come from those people
who are anxious TO see Democratic
President elected will be collected
in all parts of the country and for

big that there is never sny danger
OF Republican gains-certainly none

State Of the nOminee-will help to
enlighten the voters in the East and
West and pursuade them to the
Democratic way of thinking by
methods which are legitimate and
above reproach. There will be no

other speakers must 90 into Repub-

heavy, though the hope of reward
will be amply worth it, and the only
danger of defeat lies in a slim treas

Democrats who declared four years
ago and eight years ago that the
party ticket would win without
sincerely believing it are convinced
now of Wilson's election. But as
stated, they know that this might
not be possible without money.
So the party leaders see the need of

send it on.
