Mayor Moore is a candidate for delegate-at-large to the national convention with support of Senator Penrose and Governor Sproul.

Sproul's Name Used in Vare-Wood Trick Continued from Page Onr a presidential candidate in their at tempt to strike at Senator Penrose nnd humiliate Mayor Moore. Then, too, there is ttovernor Sproul ! He apparently is made to repudiate Mayor Moore whom ho requested to re main on the ticket, and iguorc Ills own nttnrney .general who is to place his name before the national convention. It Isnot the Governor's purpose to permit any presidential candidate to use him or his friends iin a stepladder nt this point in the procession. As for the Vnre candidate for the national delegnte-at-large, W. Freeland Kendriek. unprecedented efforts have been put forth to land him a winner. lie is the only candidate for delegate-at-large for whom there has been mnde a systematic canvass of the entire state to secure his election. Mr. Kendriek, ns nlready pointed out. has had the indorsement nnd the per sistent support of Harry Paker and William L. Crow, respectively secre tory and chairman of the Ucpublicrin state committee. Governor Sproul, who occupies n pectilinr position, has held aloof from the melee. The western part of the state has been Hooded with anti-Moore nnd ant,! Srhaffer ballots. Chairman Crow lives in the western part of the fctate. Major Uiddle is one of the candidates for delegatc-nt-lnrgc. He not only sent out letters to the American Legion In dorsing the Vnre candidate, Uut re quested members of the Legion to vote for but five' candidates. Major Hlddle's statement in the Evening Ppni.to Ledger of last night was an explanation thnt singularly fail ed to explain. Major Piddle appears to be n sort of "innocent nbroad In politics, He is a gallant soldier, and a gentleman nbove reproach, but he manifestly needs n dragoman or guide when h escapes Into the Lighwny of politics. He is too un sophisticated to be trusted alone with contractor combine experts. The gallant major may be excused for his guileless innocence in his con fession. "I am not iu politics nnd never have been." After' this illuminating snmple of the General Wood brand of politics his man ngers can scarcely hope to get much en couragement from the regular Repub lican delegates in Chicago. Another persistent story they have set afiont is, that there is a bitter feeling between Governor Sproul nnd Senator lien rose. It is a last hour canard. It's all bosh.

This has raised the question, "how many times do you turn over your capital?" Last year Swift & Company turned over its invested capital (capital stock plus surplus) nearly six times. This, together witfy our large volume of business, made it pos sible to operate on a profit of only lVe cents on each turnover. Since there were' about six turnovers, our total profit amounted to about 7 per cent on capital and surplus. This profit amounted to 11 per cent on capital stock alone. We in clude surplus as part of our total in vestment, because that is tied up in plants and equipment and huge supplies of products in process of manufacture and on the way to market, just as is our capital stock. If the turnover had been based on inventory instead of on capital, the figures would have been about the same, because the average value of our stock of goods on hand was about equal to our in vestment. The profit, from all sources, averaged only V4 cent per pound on all products sold, and obviously had practically no effect on prices. Our books are audited by certified public accountants, and are of course open to inspection by the U. S. Internal Rev enue Department. We want people to know and to understand our business.
