HERE'S A FLOUR
 SELLING RECORD
Joseph B. Pool Tells How Advertising and Good Service Increased Vofgt's
 Royal Sales 400 Per Cent

"Advertising-i in the right medium and backed up by the right goods and right service certainly pays, said Joseph B.. Pool.
 "The best example I know of is the phenomenal and increasing de- mand for Voigts Royal Flour. Six months ago this flour was hardly known in this district. I knew the high quality of the flour. so took hold and started to push it. In six short months Voigts Royal sales have in- creased more than 400 per cent, and growing daily.
 T started an aggressive newspaper advertising campaign using The Age Herald exclusively, and have secured most satisfactory results. Today a dealer whom I had never sold came in and placed an order for Voigt's Royal, telling us he had been reading the ads and wanted to stock up. This has occurred several times and naturally am gratified.
 'yoigt's Royal is sold all over the district today and the volume of sales are larger than Hours on the local market for 20 or 25 years"

RUSSIA MAY NOT
 BE REPRESENTED

St. Petersburg, May 1.-The depart ment for expositions of the ministry of commerce explained today that it had received through the foreign of flee inquiries as to whether 1t pro- posed to participate in the Panama Pacific exposition at San Francisco.
 The latest query was from the Aus trian embassy. In reply, the answer being made on March 22, 1t was stated that it was not the purpose of the Russian government to participate. It was, however, added that this was in no sense a decision, as no official in- vitation for such participation had been received and consequently the matter had not been presented to the minis ter of commerce or the cabinet.

Roosevelt and his friends will claim that he has a majority of all delegates that will have been selected in popular cleo tions, that Taft will have his main sup port through machine methods and that Roosevelt is the choice of the people. It would be unjust to rob the people of their choice, and Roosevelt will bolt.
 That will be the nucleus of the new party and Roosevelt is shrewd enough to know that he would have a following.
 Any way you look at it now the repub- lican party is doomed. The breach can never be bridged. The two factions can- not now get together for success in Mo- vember. A new party with new align ments will have to be formed. Such d party based on ultra progressive ideas

MIR. TAFT IS DOOMED
By WALTER HARPER

Washington, May 1.-(Special)- What has possessed the people of these United States?
 Has some wild spirit of deviltry dulled the senses? Has the majority joined the mob?
 Referring to recent events in the re- publican party one is driven to some such conclusion without studious analysis of the conditions. When this man Theodore Roosevelt can invade cultured, refined and thoughtful Massachusetts and set the people wild with his meaningless rant | ing it is time for the conservatives of ! the party that he pretends to repre- sent to sit up and take serious notice. | When he carries the state as he ap- pears to have done yesterday in popu- | lar election the people of the country have cause to wonder if the electorate has gone mad. Roosevelt stands for no definite principle or policy. He represents no certain Issues that affect the happiness and prosperity of the people. He stands for nothing that you can put your finger on. Yet he seems to be carrying his party by storm.
 t
 | What is the matter with President Taft?
 The President loses when he goes be- fore the people. The most of the SUD- port he has received has been secured through the power of the machine or lganization. When the candidates have been submitted to the people Roose- welt wins Is Roosevelt considered as the safest leader of the party? No one believes this. Taft, to say the least is not a dangerous man. Roosevelt may be.
 | But what is the influence that Is moving the spirit of the people SC strangely? All this movement to Roose- welt cannot be explained as repudia- tion of Taft The people cannot be that mad

the ruin complete and then on the debris of the party disaster build a new party.
 It is true that there are many repup- lioans who are looking forward to the re- organization of a new party. Many of them would make Roosevelt the corner stone. A complete wreck of the party this year would make room for reorgani- zation and there are leaders in the party who are looking forward to just such result. They see that defeat is fnevita- be and have turned to progressiveism and to Roosevelt as the best means to hasten the reorganization.
 If Roosevelt is rolled out of the Chi cago convention he will bolt. This is con sidered as cert2jn. Thomas w. Lawson of Boston a few days ago in a statement in Boston paper, and presumably with the advice of Roosevelt, declared in sub stance that if "The popular choice of the people is not accepted Dy the convention they will be given further opportunity to back their choice." This was in di- rect answer to a question put to Roose- welt asking if he would bolt tine con vention if not nominated.
