Metschan, Kay, or Hamilton, certain, and also rendered the
launching of an independent candidate inevitable.
Xo one who knows anything about the inner working oT this
convention will question the truth of this statement.
The Meier machine wanted one of these men named, for they
figured that this vote gathering battlecry of machine politics,
defiance of the sacred Oregon system, and throw the rascals
out, would work against ANY
doubt that of the three, the .Meier machine preferred 1'hil Met

IN other worths, we have the edifying spectacle of the only ina-
chine that functioned at this state comiiiiftee gathering, seek
ing support from the people on an ANTI-machine platform. And
to add a little spice to the farce, we also have Jack 1'eare of
Union County, who as a delegate to this convention took the
floor in FAVOR of a secret ballot, signing this call lor Julius
Meier, which so scathingly t'ONDK.MNS it! Certainly it is to
laugh.
A NOTIIKIl point. The Meier war dancers proclaim the se-
cret ballot al this convention (which, by the way, the rules
and regulations of the convention demanded) was a violation
of the letter and spirit of tho direct primary.
This sounds gootl, and the Meier board of strategy may be
(piite correct in its belief that tho rank ami file, vaguely resent
fill ami eager lor a change, will swallow it. Hut this claim is
just as much "unadulterated whang-doodle" as the rest id' the
Independent ticket's pot-pourri of hooey.

POR just how long has the secret ballot been a violation of the
letter and spirit of the direct, primary? Isn't the secret bal
lot tho very corner stone of the direct primary, ami the fountla
tion of popular government?
Of course it is. Why was the secret ballot introduced into i

C"OR what wo call the "machine" is simply it minority organi-
nation of self-seeking politicians, trying to attain certain
definite selfish ends. If it were not a minority, If it bad a ma
jority, no machine would be needed, the higher-ups could
merely call an elect inn ami let, Nature take its course.
Hut the machine only represents a minority. Therefore, to
accomplish its ends it much secure a majority or plurality vote.

TIIKY will ejaiin, of course, that a secret ballot in a direct
primary is one thing,-anil a secret ballot in a political con

Had there been no secret ballot, at that Portland convention,
and had the vote of every delegate been known on every roll
call the Meier machine or any other machine functioning within
that hall would have lioen play ingi those delegates-like pawns
on a chess board, from the opening benediction to the final
smash of the chairman's gavel. True, the result might have
been the same but the methods, to attain that result would cer

so it Is well7: for
snot, patients, and
for many othera
with claims of re
curring or chron
ic or persiHtent
"indigestion," 'to
know what the
beat sources of
these vitamins are..
Nearly all special diets, that have
proved of real value in the treat
ment of ulcer in stomach or intes-
tine, allow liberal rations of tats
or oils. The famous Sippy diet, for
insance. cails for IVi ounces of top

about 10 p. iii. Physiologically all
fats or oils tend to inhibit or di
minish tho secretion of hydrochlo
ric acid in the stomach and to pro
long Ihe stay oi food in the stom
ach, la most gastric or duodenal
ulcer cases there Is an excessive
hydrochloric acid secretion 'and a
too hurried propulsion of the di
gesting food mass or chyme Into
tlie Intestine beyond. These rea
sons, as well as high nutritive
value, make fats and oils a valu-
able part of the diet. Hut there!
is still another reason for the lib
eral use of top milk, cream and but
ter, as well as yolk of egg, in the
diet of the ulcer pitleut. These
fats carry most of the vitamin A
required by man.
In an earlier lalk about peptic
ulcer 1 explained that local infec
tjon is the direct cuuse of the trou
ble, as we believe today. Then
there are contributing factors,
mainly faults In our eating habits
but likewise deficiencies in our
food. People who receive adequate
amounts of vitamin A, Vitamin B
and vitamin C seldom or never
have peptic ulcer. People who live
largely on white flour bread, white
potatoes, white rice, lean meats,
sugars, manufactured lood pro
ducts, tea, coffee soft drinks, candy
and cake, are very subject to the
disease.
Here, then, are the principal or
most valuable items of diet coh
tainlng the necessary vitamins. Of
course. If you are already suffering
with peptic ulcer you must not ven
ture to partake of all. of these
foods without your own doctr's. con
sent, but If you are in doubt or if
you wish to fortify yourself against
tlie tendency to such trouble, pray
sit down and try some of those
viands:
Good Sources of Vitamin A
Butter, cream, top milk or
rich whole milk, egg yolk,
spinach, water cress, lettuce,
celery leaves, turnip tops, boot .
leaves, radish lops, carrots,
sweet potatoes, yellow corn
(not white corn), orange juice, ,
liver, kidneys and sweetbread.'
Vllamin A Is essential in build
ing up the immunity against
Infection, especially respirato
ry infection, but also gastro
intestinal Infection.
Good Sources of Vitamin B
Vitamin H is abundant in po
tatoes and other common vege
tables, both root and leafy
vegetables, and In. most fresh
fruits, and In the .natural or
whole cereals, peas, beans,
liver and kidneys. Yeast con
tains considerable vitamin R
but Is not an economical car
rier compared with these foods.
Commercial canned foods re
tain most of their vitamin H for
Ion? periods. Vitamin R is es
Bcntial to maintain tho vigor .
of digestive organs. i
Good Sources of Vitamin C
Kresli fruits or fruit juices,
tomatoes fresh or commercial
ly canned (not home canned)
carrots,, raw cabbage, lettuce,
bananas, otr.isia, grapefruit,
apples, peaches, pears, pure
raw nillk (not pasteurized),
fresh or canned tomato juice
where oranges nra not avail
able. Mutter nnd egg yolk hatinen to
be tlie best food sources of vitamin
11 also. In general it is probably
well that all (he vitamins ho pro

so they could

And he was so

he could take them back the next

as though they had never left al

Now he was turning the time

They saw how hard he had to
struggle, how little he had, how
poor he was, and now they had
aked the Little Black Clock to tell
them his name.
"His name." the Little Black
Clock answered, "is George Steph

first Inventor to build a locomotive,
you will see that he is the first to
build a steam railroad, for up to
now horses have done so much

tle Black Clock and saw tho fun
niest little railroad they had ever
seen in all their lives.
There were twelve cars with coal
in them and one car in which
thero were a few passengers.
People had come from all
around to look at . the railroad.
They were so interested in .it that
they didn't notice the two chil
dren. Nor did they notice the
Little Black Clock.
They wore such funny, old-fashioned
clothing too, and many of
them were laughing.
"U will never go. It will blow
up. It's not safe. It's dangerous
to travel that way."
And George Stephenson, the boy
who had begun by caring for the
cows, was saying that In the fu
ture mail and many, many passen
gers, and freight would all go by
railway lines, and the people al
most all of them thought he was
very nearly crazy.
Tomorrow "Their Ki!e."
