CANNING INDUSTRY HELPS
FARMS

With scarcity of household help
and record breaking prices for
fruit, vegetables and sugar, it is
safe to say that the general public
will depend more than ever on the
output of the canneries to supply
their needs.
The canning industry has been
growing at a record pace and it
is chiefly do to it that the farmers
have a ready market for all they
can raise. It would be safe to say
that successful farming is largely
dependent on the canning indus
try today.
This industry on the Pacific
Coast can supply a world market
and it is bound to be the greatest
developer Of our agricultural re
sources and one Of our vastcst en-
pIoyrrs Of labor If prices can be
held within reason for the raw
material there will be am ever in
crcasing demand for canned pro-
ducts.

THE SAME AS OTHER CROPS

Periodically the cry is raised,
Eve must protect the salmon. "
Certainly, SO must we protect our
prunes, apples and other crops
and in addition we must cultivate
larger crops to feed a growing
world.
SO it is with salmon. We must
propagate more salmon in every
coast state, we must have more
feeding pools and we must in
crease our salmon crop just as we
do other crops.
Mere protection of a limited
number of salmon without scien-
tifc propagation to furnish this
great food fish TO a world trade,
will fall far short of accomplish
ing any permanently good results.

AMERICANS A BANKING
PEOPLE

Early in life children should
learn habits Of industry or they
will acquire habits Of idleness.
One person out of five in the
United States has acquired the
banking habit.
The records show 20,3S0,350 ac-
counts in state banks, savings
banks, trust companies, and build
ing and loan associations. War
loan companies in the United
States familiarized people with
the function of banking, and they
not only absorbed billions of Lib
erty bonds and Victory notes, but
cultivated the habit of doing bust
ness with banks. That they have
increased their deposits therein is
a development Of high significance
Individual and demand deposits
in national banks foot up $13, 533,-
COS, 900, an increase Of $1.701 ,129,-
900 compared with the figures a
year ago.
1t is encouraging that bank de
posts should increase during a
period of high prices and extrava-
CANT spending.

BY gibson GARDNER.

The Chicago convention of 1912 is
the one convention in history most
likely to serve as an example of what
may happen at Chicago, between
June 8 and June 13, 1920.
This was the convention which
staged the spectacular struggle be-
tween eX-President Roosevelt and
President Taft, the former seeking
the Republican nomination, the lat
ter seeking to be renominated for a
second term. 1t was the convention
which nominated Taft and "steam-
rolled" Roosevelt, resulting in the
latter's bolt and the formation of the
Progressive party which, in the fol-
lowing election, pOlled 4,119, ,507
votes for Roosevelt, as against g.
484,956 for Taft and 6,293,019 for
Wilson.
The convention of 1912 was fixed
for Taft. The Republican national
committee and the little group in con-
troll of the party machinery were for
Taft. They were known as the cold
guard" The delegates, chosen by
presidential primaries, which were
tried out for the first time in this
contest were for Roosevelt.
According to a poll made by the
New York Tribune, a Taft organ
Roosevelt had, when the convention
met INSTRUCTED and pledged), 469 12
votes. Taft had, similarly commit
ted, 454 1-2 votes. The total num-
Der of delegates was 1,078. Neces-
sary to a choice, $40.
Roosevelt had about 80 votes to
spare.
But the national committee, acting
throught Boies Penrose, w. Murray
Crane, William Barnes, Victor Rose
water, Archie Stevenson and others.
announced contests on several hun
dred delegates and threw out all the
Roosevelt delegates except six. Taft
was given 233 of the contested dele
gates.
There was no pretense of judging
the contests on their merits. The
hearings were behind closed doors
and the results were predetermined
Dave Mulvane of the national COM
mittee, a friend of Taft, was asked
what do you fellows intend to
do? You know you surely can't
elect Taft"
To which Mulvane responded:
eve can't elect Taft, but eve are
going to hold on to the organization,
and, when we get back four years
from now, we will have it and not
those d--n insurgents"

nations and elections, Joseph B.
Bishop says of this convention:
Until the convention of 1912,
prudent regard for popular opinion
led them (the party bosses) to ex-
erclse their power as unOstentatious-
ly as possible, but the Republican
bosses at Chicago, in 1912, threw off
all attempt at concealment or disguise
and assumed openly that the conven-
ton had been called together for the
purpose merely Of registering their
will and not the will of the people
who had chosen the delegates.
The perfection to which years of
expert manipulation had brought the
convention machinery made it easy
for them to accomplish their purposes
and cite party law and precedent for
every arrogant and arbitrary act, as
they could also be cited against every
such act. Whatever they did, they
were able to make plausible claim
to strict regularity
The "a delegates whose seats were
contested were permitted to vote on
the selection of temporary chairman
(Elihu Root, and this put the Taft
strength at 558 to sol for Roosevelt.
From the moment the contested
delegates were allowed to vote on the
organization of the convention, 1t was
decided in Roosevelts mind that he
would bolt. All else was matter of
ways and means.
The writer was in Chicago watch
ing events for Roosevelt. After the
first sessions of the national commit
tee for hearing contests, he wired
Oyster Bay: "They intend to count
you out. If you hope to save the
situation you had better come to Chi
cago."
Roosevelt started on the next train
After various conferences 1t was
decided that the Roosevelt delegates
should refuse to vote or take any part
in the convention. Thus it happen
ed that on the final roll call Taft re
ceived SCI; Roosevelt, 107; La Fol
lette, Al; Cummings, IT; Hughes, 2
while those present and not voting
were $40.
Within 48 hours another conven-
ton was held at Music Hall, where
steps were taken to organize the
bolt into a new party.

How are presidential election.

How are presidential elections
carried on?
The president is not elected by pop
ular vote. For the first quarter of a
century after the United States was
formed, presidential electors were
chosen by state legislatures in most
of the states. Eventually laws pro-
vided for the election of presiden
tial electors, instead of their appoint
ment by the legislatures.
Each elector votes for candidate
for president and a candidate for
vice president, zone of whom, at
least, shall not be an inhabitant of
the same state with themselves" The
presidential candidate receiving the
majority of all votes is elected; the
vice presidential candidate likewise
If no candidate receives majority
congress elects the president and vice
president.
After the popular election, held on
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, the electors meet
in their state capitols to cast their
votes, after which the certificates of
their election are forwarded to Wash
