Sproul's Name Used

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.

"Turnover"
Swift & Company has referred
frequently to its small profit on
sales. 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.
