FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOV. 10 1920
WARNS REPUBLICANS.


Jonathan Bovine Jr., President Of
the Republican Publicity Association.
sends out the following warning to
Republicans:
The Republicans of the country
will be guilty of seIf-delusEep from
which they will later suffer. If they
lock upon the result of the recent cleo
ton as party victory It is a party
victory only in the sense that Repub-
licans will be restored to control of
both the legislative and executive
branches of the Government but an
analysis Of public sentiment as mani
Tested in political discussion leads to
the CONVICTION that the course pursued
by the voters in marking their ballots
was determined by their dissatisfac-
ton with the Democratic party and its
administration of the affairs of the
Government rather than by implicit
confidence in the Republican organi-
zatfon More than ever before in its
history the Republican party is now
on trial before the country.
The situation which confronts the
United States is a critical one. BY
many it is believed. to be one of the
most critical in our history. However
that may be, none will gainsay the as
seTtion that the problems which con-
front the nation are not only most diff
ficult but most pressing.

THE TIMES PEEVED

E We are sorry. the Times seemed con
cerneds over our comments upon the
election and found fault with our
general conclusions We are gratified
by its attempt to show that We were
wrong in these conclusions andwere
mistaken in our facts, but are some
what surprised at its finding fault
with us since we only followed the
practice it and the Republican press
throughout the Country have been en-
gagged in.
Though our statements may have
been little broad, still how can At in
good faith complain of them when the
party it advocates has successfully
conducted a campaign of misrepre-
sentation for the past two years.

How Short sales Arc Made

ousstion-.I would appreciate IT II you
woatd cNpInin selling short referred to
In The tribune recently.--T. II. f.
Answer-sellng short Is selling
stock or commodity to which you do
not at the time hold title, in anticipa-
tion Of buying it in or, in technical
language, covering, later at lower
price. The way It works in the stock
say, that Esquimau Ice Co stock is
gong down from its market level, so
You direct your broker to sell 100
shares at so and put up $4,000 with
him. Your broker sells the stock for
you. OF course, he must deliver the
shares to the buyer, so he goes to some
third person, who has 100 shares, and
borrows the lot from him, giving the
lender your $4,000 as security for the
stock loan. which may be terminated
any time by either party. This stock
he delivers to the buyer You receive
interest on the $4,000 from the owner
OF tne stock, and you pay him any divi-
dends received on it. Pretty soon, we
VIII suppose, Esquimau Ice is down to
40, and you decide TO take your profits
You buy for $4,000 100 shares, which
your broker delivers to the third per
son, who lent you the stock for your
original sale. and the broker receives
back your $4,000. You are 81 900 ahead
on the transaction, minus commissions.
taxes, possible dividends and plus in
terest on the 5000 for the period of
the loan. These are the elements Of a
short sale. In practice the short seller
seldom puts up the whole price of the
stock. but borrows from his broker all
but. say, 20 per cent, which is the mar
gin the operator has up. If the stock
goes up, instead Of down, the person
who lent YOU the stock may demand
more cash security. If more stock has
been sold than exists, or can be bor-
rowed, there is corner, the shorts
cannot deliver, and they must settle
with the longs at the longs price or 20
broke. Ordinarily it is not hard to
cause the lenders are thereby able to
borrow 100 per cent of the market
value of the shares, whereas at the
bank they could get only 80 per cent.
1t sometimes happens that there are so
many persons selling short, and the
borrowing demand for a stock is so
<rge, ttat those who have securities
to lend refuse to do so excent at low
interest rate. no interest at all, OF even,
IN some cases, they charge a premium
for the loan and pay no interest for
the cash they receive for security The
most recent corner, and one Of the
most spectacular, was that in Stutz
shares. The stock had been goi up
in spite of short selling Allan A.
Ryan and his friends. associated with
the Stutz company, took all the stock
the shorts were willing to sell or the
scale up, until the stock had risen sew
eral hundred points to more than 700
Besides this, they refused to lend stock
to the shorts. The result was that the
bears were unable to borrow for their
deliveries. They formed a committee
to deal with the real holders Of the
stock and We're forced to pay $500 o
share for release from their commit
ments.
