Exceptional Value in

There reason for everything.
These Suits are the quality they are
for SIS because we invariably share
with YOU the economies of this work
shop of ours. We know they'll COM
pare with the $3.50 Suits you can
find anywhere-they'll even dis
count many SIS grades.
It's all matter of methods and
facilities. We committed ourselves
years ago to the policy or price mod
eration-and We didn't change that
policy one iota when we broadened
our opportunities through the means
of Saks Workmanship.
There YOU have the reason. And
we want YOU to see the Suits. About
twenty-five different styles-of
English-cut with the soft roll; but
toning high: following natural body
lines-and the modified English,
that are semi-body fitting the
Conservative models. But conserva-
tism doesn mean characterless.
We've used Cheviots and Worst
eds OF exclusive pattern. Our skilled
tailors have done the work on them
as carefully and painstakingly as
though they were $40 Suits.
We want to build your expecta-
lions higher than they have ever
been before because these Sl8

Chairman Hilles a Witness.
Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the ma
tional committee, also a witness today,
was asked by Chairman Clapp if he gave
out a statement in August that the pri-
mary fight for Col Roosevelt had cost
the harvester trust millions Of dollars"
Il assume the responsibility of it, he
answered.
His explanation was given to the COM
mttee In the form of letter he had
just written to George w. Perkins, who,
| with Senator Dixon, demanded that Mr.
| Hilles be called to account for this state
ment. The letter expressed the opinion
| that Col. Roosevets "pre-convention
campaign expenses undoubtedly amounted
to not less than $2,OOOOO0.'
The letter, which Mr.. Hilles read to the
| committee. asserted that witnesses had
already testified to giving $685.. 600 for the
| Roosevelt campaign. and that expenses
| in different states and throughout the
| country would make the total he gave
Chairman Clapp questioned the witness
| sharply as to his information, and Mr..
| Hiles said 1t consisted of his general
knowledge of what the Roosevelt work.
| ers had been doing and his specific knOwl-
| edge of what certain kinds of campaign
| activity cost.
He gave the committee no new infor-
| nation regarding contributions to the
| Taft pre-convention fund, except a list
of the contributors to the fund raised in
Chicago. the total of which Representa-
| tive Mckinley had included in his state
ment earlier in the week. These were:
H. NJ. Biisby. $1,000: George NJ. Reynolds,
$500: J. A. Patton. $1,000: J. G. Shedd.
