ct appears to me-" said a prominent re-
publican, that Mercer is up to another
trick in holding back the meeting Of the
congressional committee until the same day
and the same hour appointed for the meet
ing of the county committee. The arrange
ment is certainly out OF the usual order,
for It has always been the custom to give
the county committee an opportunity to act
advisedly in issuing its call. Under the
present arrangement the county committee
will not know, unless It waits for news
from the congressional committee, which
will be In session at the same time, what
arrangement, II any, 1t has to make for
the selection OF delegates to the congress
sional convention by the county convention.
1t will not know, either, when the congress
sional primaries are to be held, in case
delegates are to be elected directly to a
congressional convention, so that It may
call the county primaries for the same time.
There may be some kind of an understand
ing about all this between MERGERS man
ayers and a select few of the county com
mittee, but MERGERS managers and a Sc
lect few Of the county committee do not
by long odds represent the republicans Of
this county and district.
I'm every other congressional district in
this state the republicans have been given
an opportunity to select the delegates to
their convention in the usual way, and
every candidate for the nomination has been
given a fair and equal chance. But here
in the Second district the committee, in
stead OF representing the republican party,
represents Mercer alone, and everything is
arranged to the liking and convenience Of
the Mercer managers. Mr.. Mercer has not
gained anything by his tactics, and If he
has any tricks to spring in connection with
the call Tor the primaries. as is indicated
by the peculiar arrangement for the meet
ings Of the committees, he will still fur
ther weaken his chances for the nomina-
ton"

DOUGLAS GETS SHORT END
Chairman Blackburn Talks Of Apportion
ment for Congressional Convention.
SAYS He FAVoRs ELECTION AT LARGE
Committee VIII Probably Call Com
vention for September 20, with
Primaries the Preceding Day
Gossip Among Politicians.

Chairman Blackburn Of the congressional
committee said yesterday morning that 1t
is the intention Of the committee, which is
70 meet at his Office at o O'Clock Saturday
afternoon, TO call the congressional con-
tion for Saturday, September 20, and the
primaries for the preceding day.
1--WE expect" said MIR. Blackburn, that
the county committee will call its
primaries for the same date, and that
the executive committees will be able to
arrange to hold the county and congress
sional primaries with the same judges and
clerks.
II congressional committee will fix its
call so as to admit the fifteen delegates
from Washington and the eight from
Sarpy who have already been selected and
provide for the election Of 121 delegates
from Douglas county direct to the con-
gressional convention. It has been
practically decided that Douglas county
will be given 121 delegates in the conven-
ton, which will be less than one for each
100 votes cast for the republican nominee
at the last congressional election-the
basis used in fixing the number of dele
gates already selected in Washington and
Sarpy counties. II we should give Doug
las county representation on the same
basis as the other counties it would have
139 votes in the convention, and we con-
slider the jump from 80, the number Doug
las county had two years ago, to 1879, too
steep.
las TO the apportionment OF the 121
delegates between the wards Of Omaha
and South Omaha and the country pre-
%cincts, l am not saying anything. That
has not been determined, and 1 don't know
as It makes much difference to us how
many delegates each ward and precinct is
TO have. am in favor of having the
entire Douglas county delegation elected
at large, instead of allowing each ward
and precinct to vote separately, but l I'M
derstand that a majority Of the committee
differs with me on that proposition"
Omaha daily bee., 1902-08-22

Whatever may be said Of Councilman
Lobeck, his political astuteness is con-
coded. at looks as II you had Dave beat"
he was overheard to say. IF Mercer had
been wise he would have had his congress
sional convention called in June. There
might have been a good chance for him
then, but now l don't believe he can land
the nomination. He is getting weaker
every day and I wouldn't give much for his
chance for nomination, and surely not for
election"

and every other state should have q
highway commission.
Such a commission is more impor-
tant than a railroad commission.
There should be an engineer who I'M
derstands his business In each coun-
ty, and this would bring out uni
form system of building roads.
Local Effort Is Necessary.
"There are enough roads in the
United States, but it will cost $7,00O,-
100000 to improve them. The move
nent must be started in each town.
ship and county by discussing and de-
vising plans for good roads. Organ
ization is the only way to get things.
one of the first moves in this section
should be the building Of good road
or boulevard between the Twin Cities
and the fair. ground.
eff only one mile was built a year it
would be worth $1,000,000 to the two
cities as an advertisement. Organize
in each town and village, and good
plan would be to follow the plan
adopted by the farmers near Troy N.
Y. They have agreed to each build
a common dirt road in front of their
farms.
Aid Of Preachers Invoked.
preachers should take up the ques-
ton from their pulpits. We are go
ing to ask the 10000 ministers in the
country TO preach a sermon on good
roads just before the next national
congress Of good roads is called In
February next Delegates from twen-
ty-five foreign countries are to be
present at the convention. We need
agitation to show something is go
ing to happen in the future regarding
good roads. Every bit of road farm
er builds improves his property.
"In ten years the government will
he annronriating for good roads more
than is now given for rivers and har-
bors. And the government should look
after the land more than a number
of small creeks and streams. This will
come by organization and agitation"
Great Northern Man Speaks.
George G. Crosse, the representative
Of the Great Northern road who will
accompany the government train to the
coast, spoke on the subject of Rail
roads and Common Roads as Factors in
| the Development of the Country" He
| said in part:
Zone of the first questions to be
| asked is whether good roads will pay.
This can best be answered by the re-
| suit in Ohio and Indiana. You don't
| have to talk with the farmers or bust
| ness men of these states to get their
| ideas on this question.
| "The demand for good roads in these
| states came from the men in towns
and not the farmers. Immediately the
roads were built it was found the
| farmers would go out of their way to
use them, and then the farmers called
| for extensions. The roads have made
! the land valuable and in some counties
of Ohio and Indiana all the roads are
macadamized.
Believes in Agitation.
Education must bring the good roads
| movement about. Farmers and bust
) ness men must take up the agitation.
| Interest your county newspaper, your
! congressman, your ministers, your
! county commissioners and supervisors
and good roads in Minnesota will be a
| practical fact.

ers and the business men have worked
hand in hand. The Great Northern road
is to take up the government good
roads train, knowing if they promote
the interests of the farmers it will adj
vance their own"
Hear Archbishop Ireland.
Archbishop Ireland opened the after
noon session in brief address on the
subject, Relation of the Church and
Education to Good Roads,"
He quoted the prophet Isaiah to
prove that the question of good roads
had been talked about in the early
ages of Christianity.
1.-THE crooked way shall be made
straight and the rough road even" was
used by the prophet as a metaphor and
was drawn from what he saw as les
son to the people of Judea. Continuing,
the reverend speaker said
There are very few here who have
had as much experience with bad roads
as 1 have. For forty years / have
Travelled in Minnesota, and mostly over
bad roads, so the words good roads
have pleasing sound in my ears.
I'm early days the good settlers paid
little attention to the roads. If a storm
blew down a tree they went around it
and started another road. When they

zone Of the great events of early
days was the opening Of the Dodd road.
Col. Dodd, in 1856, came from Wash
ington to open the road from st. Paul
to Fort Smelling. and it was considered
as eventful as the opening of a CONT
mental line now.
Bad Roads Cause lntemperance.
bad roads are mighty bad thing
for temperance. When the roads are
bad the travellers are given an excuse
to drink. In early days very common
sermon of mine was to advise my peo-
pie to make good roads.
"Once l went to LIE Seuer and
preached, and the roads were in such
condition that I told them I would
never come back until they had a good
road. / advised them to go to work."
''Three years later when I arrived there
again was told the road was all right
It was much improved, but noticed that
the work seemed very fresh In my SER

years, but afterWard one of the old settlers
took me aside and Informed me that
they had completed the road at a. m.
on the morning Of my arrival
1T takes three years sometimes to get
good road and sincerely hope this cob
vent1on will do much better.
Considering what as citizen have
suffered from bad roads, I salute with
my whole heart the movement for good
roads adequate to the high civilization
which the country is reaching.
Keeps People From Church.
eff there are bad roads the people will
not come to church, and it is wonderful
what small excuse is necessary to keep
a man away from church. Good roads are
one of the best tokens of civilization and
one of the best things to bring on civili-
cation.

Resolved, That we favor the consti-
tutionaI amendment adopted by the
voters of the state in 1898 being made
operative and call on all voters of the
state who have the interests of good
roads at heart to vote against the
amendment to be submitted this fall
repeating the amendment of 1893.
The above resolution was unani-
mously passed at the afternoon session
of the good roads convention held at
the fair grounds yesterday. The reso-
luton was submitted after w. B. Doug
las, attorney general of the state, had
explained that the intention Of the
amendment to be submitted to the vot-
ers at the coming fall election was to
go back to the distribution of the state
fund among the various counties of
the state by the legislature.
In 1898 an amendment was adopted
by the voters providing for the appoint
ment of state highway commission
and the levying of a tax of one-twen-
tieth or mill for a fund. From this

kidney trouble. Mrs. Middleton has
been i'll for months with kidney and
heart trouble. and 1t is only by the
exercise of her will force that she lives.
Mr.. Middleton died knowing that his
wife could not long survive him. She
cannot live long and the children who
are here to attend their fathers fu-
neral will probably lose their mother
ere they return to their homes.
James Middleton before he died saw
his three daughters, Mrs. Clarence E.
Sherin. and Mrs. J. G. Fisher, of New
York, and Miss Margaret Middleton,
who lived with her parents, but his
son, ]. E. Middleton, whose home is in
Chicago, did not arrive in time to say
the last farewell to his father. The
funeral will be held Thursday.
There will be short sermon at the
home and later one at the Congre-
gational church at Cottage Grove. The
funeral will be under the direction OF
the Knights Templars.
Mr.. Middleton came to Minnesota in
1871 at the age Of six. He came with
his parents from Ireland. Many
branches of the family live in Mime
Sota.
Mr. Middleton represented his dis
trict in the legislature prior to 1881
from Cottage Grove, Washington coun-
ty, where he lived on farm. In 1881
he came to st. Paul and engaged in
the real estate business. He was as
ISOLATED with Robert H. Dougan at
the time of his death and was consid-
cred an authority on real estate mat
tiers in the city.
He was candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for county commits
sioner at the time of his death, but
was not greatly interested in politics.
He leaves many friends in the city and
state. He was siXty-nine years old.

the counties a system of state high
ways was to be built. This amend
ment has never become operative oW-
ing to the legislature preferring to di-

The probabilities are that with the
agitation started by the Good Roads
association of the state and the interest
taken in the question by the farmers
all over the state, the advice of At
torney General Douglas to have his
original plan carried out will be fol-
lowed.
