1t was Il sad day for the Wood
forces in another direction. II had
been reported that John Il. King. once
leader In the Wood movement.
would have the proxy of Senator Boics
Penrosc, and the Wood people were
whispering In Elee that IL Pcnrosc
stayed away King would swing the
Penroso following over to Wood. King
answered for his own state of Con-
nccticut, but when Pennsylvania was
called, up rose the towering figure Of
Il. *. Casscll, one of the old Pcnrosc
stalwarts of Philadelphia. who an
nounced that he held Pcnroscs proxy.
Another feature of the contest hear
ing marked new departure in the
history of the Republican organiZa-
ton. 1t was the first time that con-
tests had been heard In the open with
newspaper correspondents and repre-
ScntativCs of the presidential candt-
dates present. There were number
of Wood men there besides Hitchcock,
and the Lowden camp was we'll rep

ayers strollcd In during the day. but

New Policy In the South.
Aside from the mere throwing out
of the Wood delegates, the action OF
the committee is a step in the dircc
ton that 1t may mean much for the
future control OF the party. There
has been great deal said recently
about the folly OF allowing the States
Of the South to have such Il large vote
in the convention when none of them
ever turns up an electoral vote for the
Republican nominees. This control is
exercised exactly as Hitchcock at
Woods behalf. through the selection
Of handpiCkcd delegates who would
vote a: the commanders will.
Today's action by the committee Is
evidence of purpose upon the part
of the leaders 10 stop this sort OF
thing and turn the control OF the
party's affairs in tho South over 10
men who can make ut least the sem
blancc of Il showing that they rep
resent the party's interests.
General Wood came quietly into tho
city this afternoon and went TO his
headquarters at the Congress Hotel.
where conference with Hitchcock
and his other managers was TO take
place. II was understood that such
matters as the selection OF a floor
leader TO manage the generals af-
fairs In the convention were TO he

knocked from under the fictitious,

sary for the President of that Re-
public TO declare mora torium until
December l, in order to keep the
country from going on the tOboggan.
The big story of Cuba is Identical

every community of our own 1and.
Institutions which have made more
money in a single year than they had
ever made before in a dozen years.
cannot see their way clear to lower
prices and to help the country to re-
store itself to it's normal conditions.
This is dOubly shard if it makes it
necessary 10 sell the stock of good:
on hand at actual cost, or below cost.
Nevertheless, the sad news IL dawn

ginning to understand that the
boor days are over. and tina. they
must adopt the methods Of f1r-see
ing industrial leaders who declare
that it is high time to return to
