In addition to the 145 contests, eixty-four surplus delegates, with fractional votes, have been chosen froin ten States and the Republican National Committee's rules provide that their right to seate shall also be contested. The convention call stated that no oversize delegations should be seated and no seats have been provided for these eixty-four.

We will be busy getting ready for a sale of huge proportions, backed up by genuine sav- ings on Summer and Winter Clothing and Furnish- § ings. We Have ActedAs Bankers for Twenty Leading Manufacturers. They Have Given Us Merchandise for Cash, and Saturday we start a Manufacturers’ Unloading Sale © Nearly half a million dollars’ worth of Summer and Winter merchandise has been. supplied by more than twenty mills, factories and other producers. You know that every concern must have money with which to carry on busi- ness. It makes no difference how wealthy a concern might be, it is absolutely necessary to borrow motiey to be used for expenses antil its customers’ bills become due and are paid. ; The retailer sells his goods and gets his money instantly. The manufacturer sells his goods—and has to wait sometimes three months for his money. In the meantime he has to pay rent, salaries, and other fixed expenses—therefore, he finds it necessary to borrow money in order to keep his business a-going. However, Money Now Is “Tight” That means that it is scarce and hard to borrow. It also means that manu- facturers who need money for current expenses are up against it. The country to-day is full of factories, mills, and manufacturers who must have ready cash. They have found it hard to get the money—so we advanced money on their goods. __ Of course, as we have plenty of goods of our own, we could pot very well accept additional stocks without getting some inducement. Therefore, these concerns have cut 45%, nearly half, off the original cost of their particular lines— and we have advanced them 55 to 65 cents on the dollar. These Goods Will Be Placed On Sale Saturday Don’t Buy Clothing or Furnishings Until Saturday. The Surprise Stéres will be closed all day Friday to enable us to pre- pare for this Sale. It will be a Genuine Sale—not the 20% kind that has blossomed out so extensively during the past two weeks.
