immediate purging OF the roll in its

accomplished, hope the honestly

whose action is now determined and
has hitherto been determined by a
majority which is made a majority
only by the action of fraudulent dele
gates whom the convention has re-
fused to strike from the rolls.
II the leaders of the honestly

Such ruling is sheer denial OF

no analogy to ordinary cases, where

there is no general conspiracy which

tials committee, appointed to try
their cases, includes three of their
own number, from the states OF Ari-
zona, Texas and Washington, Of
which these delegations were stolen
en- masse. This committee selected
as its chairman the Guggenheim dele
gate from Colorado, Deylne, who had
already, as national committeeman

upon which he is now to sit in judg.

may do is entitled 70 consideration

will be we'll to keep in mind the re-

pose answered that 1t would enable
the credentials committee to make a
show of generosity In unseating some
while retaining number amply sut1-
cient to accomplish the ends sought,
Moreover, 1t is we'll to remember
that the fraud is equally great and
equally responsible, whether the
fraudulent delegates actually vote on
the nomination for president or
whether they are merely used TO
create a situation, which renders 1t
unnecessary for them to vote on the
nomination for president II the roll

outrages which have at this moment
brought the republican party to the
breaking point; and they have re-
fused to recognize the principle OF an
other presidential primary and have
made the national committee supreme
over the people In the matter OF pri-
marles.
Unfortunately, In our political life,
the INSCRIPTIONS man who commits
wrongs such as these, can usually
count on having some respectable

ocean liners. The invention consists
of a second propeller mounted be-
hind the working propeller, but not
itself revolving. Its blades are set
in the reverse direction TO those of
the real propeller, and have the
function of checking the swirIing
movement of the water set in mo-
ton by them, which involves a con-
siderable loss of power. Stated in
other words, the second propeller
tends TO hold the water in position
SO that the revolving blades of the
working propeller can act upon it
with greater force. Dr. Wagner said
that the invention had been in use for
some time on q number of small yes
sells and that the experiments had
showed that it affords an average
saving of Is per cent in power over
the old form of propeller.
