gate candidates entered here pledged
to either Senator Vandenberg or Mr.
Dewey. The slate in the main is the
choice of the Republican organiza-
ton. The four delegate-at-large
candidates are unopposed. Each
congressional district has two dele
gates, and in the third and fourth
districts the candidates are unop-
posed In the first, there are four
candidates for two places; In the
second eight for two places and in
the fifth. three.
Majority Favor Vandenberg.
Generally speaking the delegate
candidates are not for Mr.. Dewey.
The majority of them are favorable
to Senator Vandenberg, and some of
them to Senator Taft.
Republican leaders in the State
wished to send an uninstructed dele
cation to the convention. Without

was explained to the friends of the
various candidates. However, the
Vandenberg manager, Charles Reed,

soon as the Dewey forces discovered
this, they, too, had petitions signed.
The Dewey petition was the first to
be filed with the Secretary of State,
although the leaders believed they
had been able to obtain an agree
ment that neither side would file.
At first there were demands from
some that the invitation to Mr..
Dewey to speak at the Founders Day
celebration be withdrawn. This was
deemed unwise. and the Dewey visit
went through as planned.

with dealings inconsequential. A

brief swing after midday. Then
there was a reverSion to the dol

Transfers for the five hours ap.

Bolstering sentiment somewhat,
brokers said, was the continuance OF
cheering business developments,
little better feeling in boardrooms
toward the political situation, and
further waning of nervousness over

Nibbling by those who follow the
technical charts also was reported.
These felt the market was entitled
to at least a temporary recovery in
the wake of seven successive ses-
sions when the Associated Press

On the other hand, there was a
disposition to keep commitments

BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Retail sales in Washington de-
partment stores in September
jumped 81 per cent ahead of Sep
TENDER 1899, while trade in the
first nine months of 1910 was 81
per cent better than last year,
the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond reported today.
The September gain was also
better than the advance of rs
per cent in the same month last
year over September 1888, the re-
port added.
The Washington record was not
quite up to the September average
for 81 stores in the fifth district,
which scored a 9 per cent increase,
or for the nine months when trade
was also 9 per cent better than
a year ago. The upsWing of the
whole district was only 7 per cent in
September in 1899 over 1888.
Charleston, S. C. led the fifth

gain of 26 per cent and also took
similar honors in the nine months
with a pickup of 16 per cent. In
September, Norfolk ran second with
a rise of Is per cent.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1l.-A sudden
squirt of buying, characteristic of
frequent similar operations the past
few weeks, today gave the wheat
market a quick upturn that carried
prices about IL cents to the best
levels in four months for December

Although profit taking reduced
the gain, the market remained firm
in response to short covering and
some purchasing credited to milling
and consuming interests stimulated
by the sudden upturn. Traders said
the buying came through several
commission houses. and probably
originated with professional dealers.
They attributed it largely to belief
that a technical scarcity of COM

Hunt said that in addition to
these, the company now is building
two substantial hydro-electric prof.
ects at Chenille and Nanthala,
N. c., together with smelling plants
utilizing power from these develop
ments.
Also being built or planned, he
said, are new fabricating facilities
at the company's plants at Alcoa,
Tenn; Lafayette, Ind; Los Angeles,
New Kensington, Pa; Detroit, Cleve-
land, Edgewater, N. j., and Mas

These additional fabricating IA
cilities will increase the company

Washington bankers were elated

with the national defense program.
The law has already started wave
of loans to manufacturers by banks,
$4,000, 900 already being negotiated
in New York.
These "bankable contracts" give
the banks the best possible collateral
for loans and will furnish a new
outlet for huge sums of money not
now being used to advantage. The
plan was sponsored by the National

Poetic Thoughts
By Morris Gibbs. Sr.
Dice

Many fortune has been lost
At the throw of the dice,
For men have gambled from days
of old
But it's never been considered
nice.
1t makes no difference where it's
done,
In an alley, sidewalk or doorway,
For the bedroom or any room,
Will do as a place to play.
In a circle, excited they stand
Awaiting with bated breath,
The white worries to stop
For unfavorable results cause
paleness like death.
If they're lucky-and sometimes
are,
Another chance they'll take
If unlucky, they'll still continue
To gamble hoping to regain their
stake.
They call them affectionate names
and cuss
Sometimes awful to hear,
Thinking perhaps it will change
their luck
For those galloping dominoes do
act queer.
Money changes hands very fast
The fastest of all gambling
pastimes,
It's fascination to some
Who'll risk their dollars and
dimes.
The goddess of chance, men re-
member
Is no friend of yours any day,
The odds are always against you
So think of this before you play.

patriotic citizens, and commands
the highest respect from members
of all races who know him. He is
continually working for the bet
torment of his people and is usually
first to come to assistance of any
one, regardless of race or religion,
if aid is needed. I feel very sure
of myself when I say that he has
done more for individuals and his
race as a whole than any of those
who desired his custer from John

Another fact which must not be
forgotten-Mr. Moore is an en-
ployee of the Federal Government,
and if any act of his or any state
ment he might make is not chal-
lenged by it, no one else should
worry.
The motive for such an act must
have been personal and indeed very
selfish. The organization has done
itself more harm than good.
