THE PARCEL POST AND THE
FARMER.

After January parcel post pack.
ages weighing so pounds can be car.
ried within the frst two zones. The
change is made ON the theory that Il
will help the farmers and merchants
10 make n much wider use OF the new
service.
II has certainly seemed strange
that more farmers have not made an
effort to use the parcel post Next
summer. when 50-pounds can be car.
ried. It would seem certain that mar.
ket gardeners could got higher prices,
and sell to the consumer for less than
retail prices.
All that g needs rs a little personal
soliciting or newspaper advertising 10
set the business What is the matter
with the farmers boy that he docs not
build up a trade for the necessaries OF
life for which in-town people are now
paying hirh prices? There must be a
great many people who would order
produce direct from the farmers by
post card or telephone could they but
know where to send for IL.

REPUBLICAN PARTY REFORM.

Governor Hatfield outlines u plan FOR
the reorganization OF the Republican
party. II is a plan which will meet
the approval OF a largo majority OF
voters. The essence OF the plan as
1t must be OF any plan which seeks 10
establish equality. is the basing OF
representation in the National Conven-
ton upon the Presidential vote. The
gross evil OF our National Convention
system has been the disproportiongte
representation OF the Southern States.
Correct this. and large part OF the
ground for complaint against the Ma
tional Convention will be taken away.
With proper rules for the selection OF
delegates and the decision OF contests

that have heretofore prevailed will
be corrected.

that there will be no high-handed nc

power 20 take such action would be

FUSION HOPES TO
DEFEAT TAMMANY
Ticket Now In Field Headed.
by Mitchell.
MANY FORCES JOIN HANDS.
All Energies Directed at Democratic
Organization Which is Expected to
Nominate Gaynor For Reelection.
Whitman For District Attorney.

New York.-In an effort to defeat
the organization Democrats. otherwise
known as Tammany Hall, who are ex-
pected to nominate William j. Gaynor
to succeed himself as mayor Of New
York city, a fusion Of Independent
Democrats, Republicans and Progress
sives has been formed and has nomi-
mated as candidate for, mayor on this
ticket John Purroy Mitchell, collector
Of the port Of New York.
The nomination was made by q com
mittee Of 10 citizens representing In
dependent Democrats, Republicans
and Progressives and came after a
heated battle between fusion forces.
Republicans wanted Charles S. Whit
man, the district attorney of New
York city, nominated for mayor on
the fusion ticket and the choice Of
Mitchell was made after seysral spirit
ed meetings. Mr.. Mitchell led by two
votes on the last ballot
Mr.. Mitchell is perhaps the youngest
man to present himself as candidate
for the chief Office in the city of New
York with the exception Of Theodore
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt was but
twenty eight years old when he led the
forlorn hope Of the Republicans in
1886. John Purroy Mitchell is now
thirty four years old.
On the fusion ticket with Mitchell, if
they all accept, will be five others
