CONCLUSION.

The purpose OF this resume Of the
contests in which there was any shad.
ow Of substance has been TO inform
those who have not time or inclination
to read the longer aud more detailed
account Of them contained in the larger
pamphlet. II is not essential to make
Mr. Taft's title indisputable that all
men agree on every one Of the issues
raised. They were decided by the tri.
bunals which uniform party usage had
made the proper tribunals to decide
such contests. II those tribunals acted
in good faith mistaken judgment would
not inyalidate their decisions. AS q
matter OF fact, an examination Of the
facts show that the tribunals were
right in every instance. There is no.
the slightest evidence that they were
moved by other than a mere desire 10
reach a right conclusion. On the Other
hand, the action Of the Roosevelt men
In bringing 100 contests that they
promptly abandoned strongly tended
to show the lack Of good faith In the
prosecution Of all OF them. Those wbJ

TEXAS.


The only remaining districts are the
nine districts from Texas. OF these the
First district was composed OF eleven
counties, each county having one vote,
except Cass county, which had two.
The executive committee, composed OF
one representative from each county,
made up the temporary roll, and In the
contests filed from two counties seat
ed both delegates with one-half vote
each. The convention elected the two
Taft-delegates, giving them ten and
one-quarter votes Each county was
represented In this vote. A minority
representing one and three-quarters
votes bolted the regular convention
and held a rump meeting. The ma
tional committee by unanimous roiG
decided the contest In favor Of the
Taft delegate.
Second Dlstriot.
In the Second Texas district there
were fourteen counties. Two counties
were found not to have held conven
lions and one county to have no dele
gate present. The convention was
then constituted by the delegations
that held regular credentials. The re
port of the committee on credentials
was accepted upon roll call, and then
the representatives Of FIVE counties
withdrew from the hall, The repre-
sentatives Of four OF these counties
held a rump convention. The regular

! .strate, 1t will cost exactly the same
amount to send parcel from Wash

should be said right here that on the
long hauls the parcel post may not
be able to compete with the express
companies, but that on shorter hauls
IL can SO compete. It was the ex-
pressed desire Of the legislators and
OF the postofflce officials that the par
Gel post system should be made Of
particular use to persons having farm
and factory products to transmit to
customers. 1t Is probable that pro-
ducers must study the rates OF post
age and the convenience OF trans

cost and convenience under present
methods before individually a man can

By EDWARD q. CLARK.

With the coming OF the New Year
the United States government will en-
ter into q new field OF enterprise
the transmittal of merchandise by
what is known as the parcel post.
For years there has been a demand
for such q system OF inexpensive
transmittal OF packages. The camps
or favor and disfavor of the parcel
post scheme have been about equally
divided. Finally at the last session
OF congress a bin was passed which
will put the plan into operation, but
only 1t must be said IN little more
than an experimental way.
It Is the intention OF Uncle Sam TO
move rather slowly in the parcel post
matter. He wants to find how popu-
lar 1t will be. how much It will cost
the government, and whether there is
60 be a profit or loss at the end of
each year. If It is found that the
plan Is successful from the point of
view OF the people, which means the
government also, the parcel post will
be extended until finally 1t reaches
The proportions which its proponents
say they believe it Is destined to as
sumo.
Zone System Explained.
II IS no exaggeration to say that
thousands upon thousands OF inquir-
ies have been made OF the postmaster
general as to just what the parcel
post will mean to the people. II was
the law OF congress establishing the
system which made provision for a
division OF the country into zones
and into So 900 units which are to be
used as centers in describing the cir
cles which mark the boundaries Of
the zones. There has been no clear
understanding. apparently, Of this
zone system, but really 1t Is a very
simple matter.
The accompanying map shows the
country divided into zones from the
unit in which Washington Is sit
uated, as the center. Accompanying
the map Is table showing the rate
OF postage per pound for parcels from
Washington to places within all the
cones.
miles square. Now each unit is a
center from which the zones are
drawn and so every unit In the coun-
try no matter where IL is situated will
have zones drawn from 1t just exactly
as Washington has them drawn from
Il. For instance, take Keokuk, Ia,
which is In a unit In the fifth zone
From that will be drawn circles ex-
actly as they are drawn from Wash
ington and they will be numbered from
Keokuk as number one, Just as they
are numbered from Washington as
number one. OF course, however
Zone Six will have q different geo.
graphical position as related TO Keo-
kul1 than IL has as related TO Wash.
tngton, but as the radius OF the circles
drawn from Keokuk IL the same
length as the radius OF the circles
drawn from Washington, Keokuk's
Zone Six will be Just as far from lis
center as Washington's Zone Six is.
How Rates Are Fixed.
1t can be seen from this readily
enough that Che postal rates from
Washington to its particular zone vii
be the same az the postal rates from
Keokuk to It's particular zones. Eaof
