NO DARK HORSE
So Declares HiIIes, Sec
refaY to the
President
Says 1t VIII Be Either Taft
or Roosevelt, and that
the Taft Forces
Will Not
Bolt

dent Taft will neither consider, lister
to nor accept the suggestion Of I
compromise candidate.
Neither will there be a bolt by
the Taft forces-rumors to the con.
trary notwithstanding. If he i.
beaten President Taft will take his
defeat with good grace and will not
attempt to start another party to
secure the nomination for the Presi.
dency on any other pretext.
This was the comment made hy
Secretary Hilles on the question Of
a possible dark horse capturing the
Presidential nomination when the
Republican National convention
meets on the 18th OF this month.
Indignantly repudiating any as
sertion that the question Of a com
promise had been preached to the
President or that be would consider
it should it be made, Secretary Hill
es continued:
This is fight between President
Taft and Col. Roosevelt. The nom.
nation. so far as we can see. lies be.
tween one of these men. We are
considering no dark horse. The
President will 60 into the conven
ton with enough votes to nominate
him. II the unexpected happens and
he fails in his purpose. the man
who wins will do so because Of his
own strength and not from any
votes which will be swung to him
by the President.
This is strictly "two man
6ght" with odds, in our opinion, in
favor of the President. We are
making every effort to hold our own
in Ohio, and / see no reason why we
should not do so.
"The President is not considering
visiting Chicago at the time of the
convention. Whether Col Roose-
welt is on hand at this time or not
will make no difference. The Presi-
dent will remain here to attend to
business and will leave the attention
to the details in Chicago in the
hands of Director Mckinley and
myself.
"On June 18th President Taft will
preside at the graduation exercises
at Hamilton College. Clinton. N Y.
He will return here on June Is and
will receive the news of the conven-
ton by telegraph and long distance
telephone. All presidents would be
shattered should the Presidsnt OF
the United States attened conven.

ested, and President Taft is not con-
sideripg such a radical move
Besides, we see no necessity for

Present Method is Double
Price OF Rural Products

Washington, April 27.-Parcels
post, which will benefit both the
farmer and the ultimate consumer,
was strongly urged in the House to-
day by Representative Caleb Powers
of Kentucky, who presented start.
ling figures to show the profit Of
the middleman. Mr.. Powers, who
spoke during the debate on the post
Office appropriation bill, which pro-
vides for the establishment OF a
general parcels post with an eleven
pound limit and an experimental
parcels post on rural routes, created
surprise when he said:
"The farm products of the coun.
try last year had an estimated ag-
gregate value OF $e,oO0,OOO,OOO.
The farmers used perhaps one-third
Of the products; the remaining Sc,
900, 100000 worth cost the ulti-
mate consumer $13,OO0.OOO,oOO.
In other words, the price OF the
farm product was more than doub-
led from the time it left the farm un.
til it reached the mouths of the con.
sumers through the medium of the
middleman."
Mountain advocate., 1912-06-07
Appeals for the Farmer

Advocating the establishment Of a
parcels post which will permit the
handling of farm products over mail
routes, Mr.. Powers declared that
"the farmer ought to have the right
to send his produce direct to the
consumer, instead of having it go
through a dozen hands before it
reaches the table of the consumer"
The Kentucky Representative ex-
pressed the hope that the commission
which it is proposed shall be Great
ed to investigate the subject Of an
unlimited parcels post may devise
some means to extend the system
so as to benefit the farmer and con-
sumner by permitting the handling
offarm products in large quantities"
The post Office appropriation bill
authorized the establishment Of an
experimental parcels post on rural
mail routes for a period of two
years. 1t also provides for a
general parcels post, applicable to
all routes, with package limit OF
eleven pounds, at the rate Of IL
cents pound. Mr.. Powers took
issue with the contention that the
lower rate accorded strictly rural
route shipments Disseminated in fav-
or of the farmers. The haul would
be shorter, he said, and the rate of
FIVE cents pound for the first pound
and two cents for each additional
pound up to eleven pounds on rural
route shipments was justified. He
deprecated the fact that the bill did
not provide even more liberal treat
ment for shipments originating and
delivered on rural routes.
Referring to the proposition to
establish a general parcels post Mr..
Powers said:
There are twenty-three foreign
nations which now have a right to
transmit in our mails fourth. class
packages up to weight OF eleven
pounds, for which there is a charge
OF ~ cents a pound. IL is proposed
to make this provision applicable
to our own people, putting their
mail matter on a parity with that
OF foreign nations. It is just that
the mails of this country should be
available for the use OF citizens Of
the United Slater on terms as lai,
and reasonable as those accorded
these twenty-three foreign nations.
