Senator Dixon, chairman of the Roosevelt campaign, made public a statement as follows: “Another governor claimed by the Taft bureau as advocating the renomi- nation of the president has announced his purpose to keep hands off in the | pending nomination campaign. 4A tele- gram received from Minneapolis by the Roosevelt headquarters authorizes the positive statement that Governor Eberhart of Minnesota has definitely | declared that he is taking no part in the presidential contest in Minnesota. His endorsement of Taft is purely personal. Many of the governor’s friends are openly supporting Roose- yelt without objection from him.” | EBERHART OFFERS SUPPORT Minnesota Governor Favors Renomi- nation of President Taft. Governor Eberhart of Minnesota, who is ar outspoken adherent of President Taft, held three informal conferences with the president and Secretary Hilles at Chicago. All the conversation, with possibly ten minutes with Secretary Hilles, was in ithe presence of other politicians and was general in character. Governor Eberhart, however, as- sured the president that there was much sentiment in his behalf in Min- nesota and promised him anew his | friendship and such efforts as hh eould consistently put forth to procure his renomination and re-election.

We are wishing all to know of the change in our business plans: | Dear Friend: | For about two years we have been discussing the changing of our business from a Credit basis to a CASH PLAN. Last May we seat out circulars to a part of our customers with the intention of start- ing. at that time; but afterwards decided to postpone the matter for a few months. After careful consideration, we have decided to make such | a change at this time. With that in view we are asudie this personal letter to you, and also to each and every customer upon our books, in order that all may arrange their plans accordingly. We appreciate very much the business which you have done with us in the past, and hope you will continue with us under the CASH PLAN. We trust to merit your continuance for several reasons. We believe that by thus eliminating the book- keeping costs, saving the loss of a few poor accounts all the time, etc., that we shall be able to sell goods at a price more advantageous to you and in a way to mean an actual saving to you in the cost of living, which is high enough et the best now; and we shall also save our- selves a vast amount of worry. This is, after all, the only fair method of doing business. You get | the lowest possible price we cal make by virtue of our having the | ready cash to purchase new goods with. We can buy on the market cheaper with cash than on time as we now have to do with ten twelve thousand dollars on cur books all the time in open accounts Hence we are just that much behind in being able to PAY CASH for goods when we purchase. We expect there will be some difficulty in getting everything prop- erly adjusted, but we think a little planning will make all satisfactory. Please do not imagine that our being unable to sell YOU any goods on the former Credit Plan to be any reflection upon YOUR credit worthiness in any way, as we know to the contrary; but you can readily see that we must treat you all alike. It is our plan and pur- pose that there shall be no variation in the rule to ANYONE—but a strictly CASH selling plan applicable to each and all alike. As we have said, we should like you to continue to give us as much of your business as you can, and we are sure that you will find it to your advantage to do so in all lines. If you try us after March 10th, you can easily determine what the cash saving is. Kindly remember the date, so there may be no misunderstanding as we shall SELL FOR CASH ONLY AFTER SUNDAY, MARCH 10th, 1912. NO GOODS will be CHARGED to ANYONE after that date; but will be sold for CASH ONLY whenbought at the store, or when de- livered on telephone orders or otherwise.
