SUGAR MEN’S EIGHT
He Saved Them $28,000 in
Their Postage
Washington, D. C., June 13.—How
the government office and the postof
fice department helped in the fight
against free sugar through the use of
congressional franks for sending anti
free sugar “literature” circulating
throughout the land was brought out
today by the senate lobby investigat
ors. Truman G. Palmer, Washington
representative of the United States j
beet sugar industry, on the stand the
entire day and the object of a sweep
ing cross examination, testified that
more than 1,500,000 copies or argu
ments in behalf of beet sugar had been
turned out by the government printing
office, made public documents by order
of congress and had ridden on the
franks of senators and representa
tives to the ends of the country, post
age free.
“Sugar at a glance” prepared by
him, he said, had attained a circulation
of 320,000 copies under the frank of
Senator Lodge. “Report of the finance
committee” by the’ same senator had
beaten the pamphlet 80,000 copies.
Franks of Senator Smoot, former Sen
ators Curtis and Dick and the late
Representative Malby, former Repre
sentative Pickett and Representative
Martin had swelled the total to more
■urn
than a million and a half.
Saved $25,000 Postage
The printing of some of this number
had been paid for* by the beet sugar
people, the witness said, but the free
postage had saved them about $28,000,
Mr. Palmer developed that “sugar at
a glance” which he intimated was * i
spired by the Federal Sugar Refining
company, and which was an argument
in behalf of free sugar, had also been
printed as a public document and cir
culated under the franking privilege.
He did not say nor did the committee
ask why the frank was so used. Mr.
Palmer said that the best men had
spent about $160,000 in their campaign
against free sugar since 1902.
About $50,000 had been used since
last November and about $14,000 of
that amount since the beginning of
the present session of congress. Much
of it had been spent in “publicity
<
work,” in printing, salaries, and a
good-sized sum in motion pictures. He
said that the beet producers in his as
cociation were assessed about 5 cents
per ton, he thought, ffhe last assess
ment was made in April bringing in
about SIB,OOO and the previous one in
February about $17,000.
Had Document Changed
Palmer said when Senator Lodge
made a speech on sugar in July, 1912,
the charts subsequently used in “sugar
%
at a glance” were on the walls of the
senate chamber. Senator Lodge se
cured the permission, of the senate to
have them printed as a public docu
ment. Questioned by the members of
the committee, the witness said that
after the charts had been sent to the
government printing offices and proofs
in black and white had been made o;
them he discovered thery were not
suitable for publication. He had sent
them to a private printing concern
and had them prepared in a fashion he
thought suitable. This, he maintained,
was done with the knowledge of Sen
ator Lodge, and he considered that be
was acting for the senator in the mat
ter.
Members of the committee expressed
surprise that any one in any wav
should change something authorized
to be printed by the senate. They de
veloped that the permission was secur
ed by Senator Lodge for printing on
July 27, and that one of several issues
of “Sugar at a glance” referred to an
order of the senate on August 1, in the
same matter. The second order refer
red to data prepared by Truman G.
Palmer, and purported to be signed by
Cnarles G. Bennett, then secretary of
the senate. Mr Palmer said he sun
posed that the order had been made
1 and that he got it in the proofs at the

HAVE YOl T SOMETHING
TO SELL?
If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques
tions may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces
saries of life, we venture to say:
"The quickest and surest wav
to reach the public is througn
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times-
Recorder—one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of its readers.
“The most dependable articles
sold today are those to whicn
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label—that is to
say, his reputation.
“Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
“The combination of manu
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them both,
with the maximum of satisfac
tion to the purchaser.”
“The Great Annual
Dividend Payer.”
That’s the name given to the Un
ion Central Life Insurance Co.
Why? Because it pays policyhold
ers larger dividends than any
other company in the United
States.
It invests only in Real Estate hirst
Mortgages.
They yield 6 1-4 per cent, inter
ast—more than any other “Life"
company realizes on its invest
ments.
Its policyholders ower their large
dividends, the low cost of their
policies, mainly to these wise in
vestments.

WOULD-BE LEADERS
PRIME THEIR GUNS
All But Sheppard, of Sumter,
Have Kimball Headquarters
Atlanta, Ga., June 13.—The several
candidates for the presidency of the
senate and the speakership of the
house have engaged headquarters in
the Kimball, with the exception of Re
presentative J. E. Sheppard, of Sum
ter county.
J. Randolph Anderson, of Chatham,
candidate for president of the senate,
has engaged rooms 105 and 107.
Judge John T. Allen, of Baldwin,
candidate for president of the senate,
has engaged rooms 208 and 210.
William H. Burwell, of Hancock,
candidate for speaker of the house,
has engaged rooms 108 and 110.
Robert N. Hardeman, of Jefferson ,
candidate for speaker of the house,
has engaged room 201.
Ail of them will be on hand early
next week to open headquarters and
unlimber their siege guns. Mr. An
derson was in the city today, coming
in from a ten days’ jaunt about the
state in search of votes. He stated
that he would move his family to the
summer home in Cobb county next
week and that he would be on hand
at his headquarters here right along
thereafter until the session opened.
Judge Allen has been here for two
or three days also, and he plans to
get on the job here next week. It is
probable that both Burwell and Harde
man will not let grass grow around
their premises but will be heard from
next week. Nothing has been heard
from Mr. Sheppard but he is also ex
pected to be around and about look
ing over the situation.
Believe Burwell a Winner.
Whether or not it so turns out in
the show down a very large percentage
of those who play at the game of poli
tics believe and openly assert th t
Burwell will be an easy winner for
the speakership, and a great many
look upon that issue as settled right
now. Surface indications, at least,
indicate it.
But this senatorial mix-up has guesj
ers “buffaloed” to a “fare-ye-w r ell” o
date. Os course both Mr. Anderson
and Judge Allen tell you with confi
dence that they have it cinched and
will prove it to you, if you happen to
be in their confidence sufficiently, by
checked lists of the next senate.
But the astute observers on the out
side can’t see yet that either man has
a copper-riveted claim on the senaie
[ presidency. More than one senator is
holding aloof until he gets up here to
‘see which way the cat jumps.” A
good many equations enter into this
race which has been remarkable in a
number of ways.”
“Stumping'' State For Votes.
In the first place, it is probably the
only senate race for years in which
the candidates for leadership have tak
en the field and traveled into every
part of the state to personally inter
view the senators. This both Mr. An
derson and Judge Allen have been
and are still doing. The statement :s
not intended in any sense as a criti
cism, but is made simply to show the
intense interest and rivalry shown.
Mr. Anderson and Judge Allen are
both gentlemen of the highest integri
ty and standing; both are experienced
law-makers; either would make a fine
presiding officer.
The Kimball lobby these days begins
to show signs of the coming session.
Not ohly are the candidates about, but
many of the new as well as old mem
bers.
Yesterday afternoon in the lobby a
moot session was held, with ex-mem
bers. Jee Hill Hall organized the
"house” by calling Irwin Mclntyre, of
Thomas, to the ehair. There were pres
ent Mr. Hall. Roy Stubbs, of Putnam;,
E. S. Ault, of Polk; Tom Hudson, of
Sumter; two reporters and several
spectators. When charges were pre
ferred against Hudson and Stubbs the
press was excluded, and a sensation
lost from the light of publicity.
