Look and See How Our
Prices Have Shrunk

We've gone through every item of
Cur vast stocks and Topped dollars off
our former bargain prices. We've
substituted figures that we know YOU
customers want - prices that viii
seem to you ridlculOusIy low. And
they are!
We've swept away our moagre
profits and presented ourselves"
with a substantial l0ss-a bigger loss
than most manufacturers and job
bers would be willing to take. The
rank and file are content with rcduc-
ing prices to replacement cost. We've
cut our prices to far below what it
will cost us to replace these stocks,
Hut we take this loss with China

yer lining:
The faster we move our present
stocks the sooner we get back to 'the
good old days" And take it from us
the prices we quote here will march
cur stocks out on the double quick.
But what's more important - we
console ourselves with the knowledge
that our sacrifice prices will wake up

Delegates
FLORIDA GAINS 2 NAMES
Georgia Negro Leads a
Fight Against New
Basis Selection
(By Associated Pressl

Washington, June Selection OF
John T. Adams, of Dubuque, Iowa, as
chairman to succeed Post Master
General Hayes, whose resignation was
formally announced and adoption Of
a new basis of representation at ma
tional conventions, resulting in a fur
ther cut of the delegates from the
south, marked the meeting today of
the Republican National Committee.
Mr.. Adams, who was vice chairman,
was succeeded in that Office by Ralph
E. Williams, of Portland, Ore. Mrs.
Leonard G. Wood, of Pittsburgh, was
elected second viSe-chairman, an Of
flee created bY .,ittee action in
recognition ot woman's member
ship in the party.
The change in representation, based
on the republican votes of the last
election, reduces by % the number
of delegates who were accredited from
the southern states to the Chicago
convention last June. This represents
a cut of II per cent. and makes a to-
tai cut IF 40 per cent in the number
of delegates from those states since
the 1912 convention.
Under the new plan for apportion-
ment the next national convention will
be made up of 1887 dele gates, So
more than the last unless there are
great changes in the states votes of
last fall upon which the calculation
was made.
Change In Basis of Representation
The old system allowed for one
delegate from each congressional dis
trict but under the new plan a dis
trict must have cast $500 republi-
can votes in the last preceding elec-
ton before it may send a delegate to
the convention. To have two district
delegates there must have been cast
10000 republican votes or republi-
can representative must have been
elected to congress. Under the for
mer plan $500 votes gave two dele
gates.
Provision also is made in the new
plan for the seating of two addition
al delegates at large from each state
carried at the last preceding election
by the republicans.
The plan was submitted by R. B. |
Howell, of Nebraska, for a sub-com-
mittee. Its presentation on the floor
of the meeting precipitated a bitter
fight by members from the states af-
-fected' The principle drive on the
change was by Henry Lincoln John
son, a negro member from Georgia,
and H. L. Remmel, of Alabama. The
report however, was approved.
AS outlined by Mr.. Howell the new
basis for representation will increase
Florida's quota by two members.
