Why the Student Chooses Kerosene

TOOD eyesight is a most inn

This was the first step toward the

Gard here insisted on proving to Pc

financial standing. He had long be-
fore prepared the papers for just such

letters OF credit. and certificates OF de-

The smuggler had had no idea of the

So he took the flnancier in tow, with

was executive Mr.. Perkins, Governor
johnson. and others discussed the
question of the convention with hold
ing action upon nominations while
waiting for results from the republic
can meeting.
Reading a detailed report of the work
of the executive committee of which
he is chairman, Perkins pointed out
the difficulty the progressive conven-
ton faces with its own delegates to
prevent them from forcing immediate
nominations. He said he thought it
important that the progressives should
give the republicans at least a chance
to show their attitude toward joint
nominations.
Mr.. Perkins argued that by delaying
action there would be a better chance
for joint nomination for Colonel Roose-
welt and in event of failure the pro-
gressives would stand before the coun-
try in the position of placing the re-
sponsibilty for the deadlock upon the
republicans.
| Mr. Perkins pointed out that. neither
could bind the convention upon any
pOstponment program beyond the mo-
| ment of permanent organization. He
said the prOgressives could act much
more rapidly than the republicans, hay
( ing fewer nominating speeches and
nominees. He admitted the delegates
might grow restless if the convention
should remain idle but said it was i'm
! portant to be ready for any coup and
! to keep them in Chicago. A resolution
endorsing the executive committees ac-
ton was construed as carrying
with it approval of the delay plan.
Governor johnson said there should
| be no understanding that the progress
sive convention should wait indefinitely
on the republicans.
Governor Johnson said the progress
sives~ easily could know before formal
action was taken whether joint nom
nations were possible and declared he
would not be tied up by any resolution
which would prevent acton at the
proper time. Mr.. Perkins rejoined that
his ideas differed little from those OF
Governor Johnson and that in ali
events no resolution should be adopt
ed by the committee predicating delay
beyond permanent organization for the
progressive convention.
The resolution expressing confidence
in tho executive committee then was
passed but it was officially stated.
without formal approval of the plan
to hold up nominations.
1T was stated that no mention was
made of postpoliing until Saturday,

OF these provisions that the declara-
ton along progressive lines should be

leave no ground for opposition on
this score. The advocates of the suf

they say they have an equal chance
to win.

fairs, but he refused today to discuss
