BY CITY EXECUTIVE:

Indianapolis, Ind., November I_
Elated at the success attending the
.-ale ?.n the city market of potatoes
ami pears practically nl producers'
prices, in his war on the high eosl of i
living ami his light nguliisl th.>m-i
mission merchants, .Mayor Shunk con- j
templates taking up the matter or;
similar sales of apples and pork. Tho
Mayor has sold seven carloads of po-1
tuloes at coal to the consumer, and lie I
sold his tlrst carload of pens last
Saturday. The Mayor believes that It
will be possible to offer pork and ap?
ples a i correspondingly low prices,
and through such sales break prevail?
ing prices in this city.
With thousands of bushels of apples
rotting on the ground In Indiana, ap
plrs ace soiling in the city at from
To cents to Si n bushel.
The Mayor expects lo look Int? the
Wisdom of bringing a" carload of apples
to the city Saturday and selling them
at from SO to 40 cents a bushel direct
to the public.
Th.' Mayor mude a personal trip into
the country and talked with a number
of farmers about bogs. He found on
farm, t who offered to sell, killed and
dress. .1. at 1-'. ..-ills per pound, which,
the Mi'yor says, proves that local prices
of pork are too high and that the pub?
lic Is being rot.be<| by being forced to
pay too much profit to tin- middleman.
He believes that several farmers might
be Induced to kill and dress hogs aim
place them on s.ile at the city murk-t
at prices much below those now
charged in the city. In this sale the
Mayor would Include Smoked ham and
bacon, so that on. would slock up on

Washington. O C, November 1.?Six J
weeks hence the Republican National
Committee will meet In tIii? city to
Issue the cull for the Republican na
tiional convention :?' nominate cuii'lt-I
dates for President and Vlco-President
or ihe United States, mid the vexing
?mention of Southern representation In j
the convention will again be broached. ;
Senator Jonathan Bourne has served
notice that lie will ask the committee
to base the representation In the na
tlonal convention upon the Republican
Vote east ror the national ticket In
I0OS, ti ns materially reducing the vot?
ing power of the Southern Stutcs In
that ho.lv. ;
While it Is not believed by well

Vote on Mlnorlt) Report.
A minority report from tin Commit -
tee on Mules, presented Io the last con-1
ventlon by neprcsentnilve Hurks. of|
Pennsylvania, was voted down, iTl to
.".mi The minority report Was signed i
by eighteen States and the District of
Columbia, as follows: Pennsylvania,!
New Jersey, Oregon, West Virginia.'
South Dakota. Rhode Island. Maine.
Connecticut, New vork. Illinois, tndl-|
ana. Minnesota, Colorado, Vermont,,
Massachusetts. Wisconsin, Utah, New j
Hampshire and the District of Colum?
bia.
Al) of ihe members of the Rules
Committee from these Stntes were up?
held by their delegations! except Ore?
gon, which split three to live; the Dis?
trict of Columbia, which split one to
one. and Minnesota, which split ten
to eleven. Ten of these delegations
subsi ciuentiy voted for the nomination
of President Taft, five against him atnl
two spilt.
Representative Burke, who drew the
minority report, urged that the sense
of justice toward others which actuat?
ed the Republican party throughout
Its history should now be practiced
in its own household. Governor Wil?
son, of Kentucky, in reply, pointed out
that the amendment "would da more to
make the Republican party a sectional
party than the negro question had
done to make tin- Democratic party s
sectional party." lie added that the
power of nomination and control of the
convention in general would be vest?
ed In a few States.
Keif er Attack*. Southern l.nwa.
General Keif er, of Ohio, attacked the
Southern election laws and advocated
reprisal. Myron T. Derrick, of Ohio,
replied that Ihi situation was fraught
with dire political consequencea and
believed that Congress and not a na?
tional convention should deal with the
problems Involved. H. 1,. Rommel, of
Alkalis.I.-- argued against the further
dlsfrunchlscmont of Southern Republi?
cans as contrary t.> Republican princi?
ples, lie also emphasized the fact that
a few states might control the con?
vent ion
Cl eorce T Buckingham, of Illinois;
.lame- W Wadworth, Jr.. of New York,
and James T. Watson, of Indiana, all
supported Hit minority report, point?
ing out that they came from States
which had Utile more representation In
ib.- convention, although steadfastly
Republican, than sonic of the southern
States which have never participated
In a Republican victory.
I lei,iv c. Warmoth, of Louisiana,
cited to the convention certain alleged
outrages t" which Southern Republi?
cans w6re subjected, und assert, d that
there would be live Republican ' mem?
bers of Congress from his State if the
I!..use of Representatives would do its
duty, Henry L Johnson, of Georgia,
held that it was the duty of Congress
to deal with the problem before She
convention, a ml R. II, Angell, of Vir?
ginia, als,, asserted that dlsfrntichlse
ment bad reduced the Republican vote
in that section
"We ask vou not to treat us as the
Dei.rats have treated us," lie suid.
llnurne Plan Kxplntned.
Senator Bourne cites, in behalf of
his plan, these contentions:
"No party convention except the
national convention has its delegates
selected on any other basis. The pres?
ent system will give the South in
states, which never elect Republican
electors, i:-2 delegates in the next
convention, which is almost half <f
the majority necessary to nomtnaiu;
it gives tie national administration,
through its control of Federal oflloe
holders in the Smith, unusual oppor?
tunities at all times to perpetuate it?
self, so far as the party is concerned.
Specifically, citing an illustration, it
will give Texas, which never elecWal
a Republican elector, forty votes in
tin- next convention, as against twon
ty--si:< for Iowa, which baa electel
Republican electors.
"In Florida." Senator Bourne claims.
"88S Republicans >nve as much voice
in the selection of national candidates
?s In.ntni Republicans in Colorado. It
takes 11,000 Indiana Republicans to
balance ill Louisiana Republicans.
Mississippi Republicans to the num
bet oi 218; have as much representa?
tion in tie national convention n?
have I 1,000 Republicans in Michigan,"
Senator Bourne's plan proposes to
allow each of tin- forty-eight States to
.-!. : four delegates at large. This will
account for 192 out of the possible
1,073 to the convention The balance

dlrccted kick which landed on the ?hin o:
he would have apportioned among the
States on the basis of 8.865 votes, or
major fraction thereof, cast for Presi?
dent Taft In 19uS. This plan would
make some striking change* Jn the
I representation of the various States.
BtTect of Ctinugr In Musts
It would reduce the representation of
j the Southern States approximately as
follows: Alabama, Jl to 7; Arkansas.
IS to 10; Florida, 1:' to ?: Georgia. ?b
to 9, Louisiana; 20 to .*.; Mississippi,
20 to "?; North Carolin*, 34 to 17; Ok?
lahoma, jo to lrt. South Carolina. J?
to I; Tennessee, L' 1 lo 17; Texas, -P. lo
II .and Virginia. 24 to 10.
i Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri.
; all border St iles, would redeive In?
creases as follows. KentuckvV3t> to 31;
! Maryland, lei to 17; Missouri, 36 to 13.
Some of the striking increases among
the Northern Slates would be as fol?
lows: Illinois. r.S to,Ts: Indiana. 30 to
|43: Iowa. 2ll to 35-, Michigan, 30 to 42;
I New Jersey. 28, to 3 1, New York. 90
[to 103; Ohio, is'to B9; Pennsylvania, 76
I to Si. Wisconsin, 26 to 32.
In the North. .Massachusetts would
lose two votes under the Bourne plan,
I Nevada one antl Hhode island one,
compared to the delegates they would
be entitled to under the new appor?
tionment.
Northern States Dominate.
I Under this plan it can readily be seen
' that a few Northern Slates might
' easily dominate the proceedings of the
j entire convention. The great commer?
cial States of New York. Pennsylvania.
: Illinois, Ohio. Indiana, Massachusetts
. and New Jersey would control among
I them 41r. votes, within less than
i loo of enough to nominate. Michigan.
I Missouri and Iowa would have 120 more
votes and the ten big States together
Would have 56A votes, or 28 more than
! a majority of the convention In which
I forty-eight States were represented.

addrcjses t0 the jury of Judge E. (,. Hun

; the prosecution.
I Attorney Veasle made s dramatic appeal
; to the Jury for Justice according to the
I.omul arm Inws and biblical candatea, and
excoriated the accused In terms of ridicule
and stinging sarcasm. He ended hia re
marka with a bitter denunciation, which
seemed to affect Mra. McRee and her friends
more than any th lag that lias been said
during the trial. Many exception!, were
taken by the attorneys for the defense to

attorney.

{frequently quoted. The d. fens,- also called
; attention to the fact that Mrs. McRoo la
i Ihe mother of four children, and urged the
?Jury to allow her to return to her home und
?devoted family."
I The argument of Hie prosecution was to
a large extent directed against Ihe verac?
ity of Mrs. McRee. They contended that
Oarland hud many opportunities of offering

mony of witnesses who told ?f seeing the de?

ing the Bricklayers' Union, laid down an
ultimatum to the Council CommTttee on
Light last night that a man named Griffin
must not br retained on the work, since
his union card had not bi-.-n recently re?
newed. Tin- commute,, acquiesced on the
assurance of Superintendent knowles that
he would remove Mr. Griffin. It appeared
'from the discussion that Mr. Griffin lias
been for sum.- time an employe o: th? Gas
Works?a sort of general utility man; The
cos tract was given r..r replacing some brick
fireplaces in the gas-making machinery; and
in order lhat ?ir.rfln might familial Ire him?
self with th. work and so be in a position
lo make repair* hereafter, Mr. Knowles re?
quested the contractor to lake him on as
a workman. Griffin used to be n union
man. but sines be gave up bricklaying as
a profession he had allowed his member?
ship to lapse, and the union was prompt to
resent his working on the new benches.
The matter was settled by Mr. Knowles's
promise to withdraw the offender.

NATURE'S CURE FOR
CHRONIC ULCERS
Only by removing the cause can
any chronic Ulcer or Old Sore be
cured. No one will question the
truthfulness of this statement. The
cause is always from nn inward source,
never an outward influence, and there?
fore the only possible way to get rid
of these places is to take internal
treatment. Pure blood is the one
unfailing cure for chronic ulcers;
jv.st as long as the circulation is al?
lowed to remain in an impure condi?
tion the place will be kept open from
the constant discharge of impurities
into it from the blood. But pure
blood will change this condition and
the flesh tissues will be nourished
and made healthy, and then nature
will promptly and permanently heal
the ulcer. S. S. S. is recognized as
the greatest of all blood purifiers and
therein lies its power to cure old
ulcers and sores. It goes into the
circulation, and removes every trace
of impurity or infectious matter, and
so enriches this vital fluid that it
nourishes all flesh tissues instead of
irritating them with impurities.
When S. S. S. has cleansed the blood
and the place has healed over it is
not a surface cure, but the ulcer is
filled in with healthy flesh from the
bottom. Free book and any medical'
advice will be sent to all sufferers who
will write us. S. S. S. is for aale at
drupr stores.
