ROSS DOESN'T LIKE IT.
Claims He Has Been BIisrepresented
in Book Deadlock.

". D. Ross of Oskaloosa, the First
district member Of the state reading
circle board, takes exceptions to the
statements in the morning paper, en-
anatiug apparently from State Super
intendent DayhOm or his packers,
that the deadlock in the reading circle
board Is caused by a contest for su-
premacy between DayhOm and Ross,
and that Ross is sore because DayhOn
defeated him for the nomination for
state superintendent in 1902 and is
therefore opposing DayhOn on the
reading circle board.
1t was stated in the DayhOn story
that Dayhon proposed superintendent
L. W. Lehman Of Rice county for sec
retary of the board and that Ross
fought the nomination but Lehman
was elected anyway. 1t was also stated
that the merits of the books proposed
for the teachers reading circle We're
lost sight of and the issue with Ross
while Dayhom was willing to comprO-
mise IN speaking Of the matter to
day superintendent Ross said:
''It is true that I was a candidate for
state superintendent in 1902 and that
Mr. Dayhoff was nominated, but other
wise these statements are incorrect.
Concerning the election of the secre-
rary, the names of superintendent L.
A. Park of Lyndon, member Of the
board, and uperintendent BrOOkInS of
Smith Center, a member Of the next
board, were proposed, and we took
twenty ballots on them, the vote
standing four to four. Then Superin-
tendent Murray of Kingman nomi-
mated z. ". Lehman of Rice county for
secretary. and I seconded the motion,
and superintendent Lehman was
elected unanimously. That is how I
opposed Lehman.
Now as to whether the merits of
the books are considered by the four
members who are opposing the Amer
lean Book company, and whether we
are willing to compromise, I want to
say this: Four members of that board
have voted every time for single
book, published by the American Book
cOmuany. The other four of US have
expressed our first, second and third
choice, giving them a chance to take
any one Of four books published by
four different publishers.
'"They have an absolute combina-
ton of four members for the American
Book company. There are two books
to be chosen and the American Book
company has proposed to deliver four
votes for any other book if it can get
one of the two. That shows where the
combine is And the fact that we
have given them their choice of four
different books and four different pub
fishers. while they have stood by the
American Book company for seventy

YOUNG ROOSEVELT A FLIRT.
He UndergOes Punishment to Release
Party of Girls.

Roanoke, Va, April 13.-Theodore
Roosevelt. jr., son of the president
was one of a, party of lads who stood
for thirty minutes with their faces in
a corner while the rest of the company
enjoyed the dance at one of the hos
pitable Virginia homes at Abingdon,
where he has been visiting the last
week. His companions were the sons
of Douglas Robinson of New York city
and Daniel Triggs, jr.. of Abingdon.
This humiliation on the part of the
youngsters was the penalty for firt-
ing with schoolgirls at an institute in
that city and was imposed by the prin-
cipal of the institution. The boys un-
derwent the humiliation on agreement
that the girls should be released from
their rooms, where they had been kept
as punishment.

Nothing could be done then to save

Authorized Statement Of Senator
Blackburn's Position.

The following is an authorized
statement from Senator 10. G. S.
Blackburn, published in the Louis
vile Courier-JOurnal.
SIN view of the fact that many mis-
leading statements and irresponsible
interviews are being attributed to me,
and realizing that l will have to con-
tend with this same trouble in the flu
ture, want to make plain and un-
equivocal statement as to my position
in the fight now in progress. be-
heve that the domination of the
machine now assaling me, means ruin
to the Democratic party. 1 believed
this year ago when they sent to me
and offered me their support in my
race for the Senate on condition that
/ would let them alone. So sure was
I that the triumph of this machine
ment turning over of the State to
the State to the Republicans that 1
refused their offer and notified them
then that proposed to make war on
them until their power was destroyed,
no matter what the consequences
might be to my personal fortunes.
Feeling as did, would have been a
traitor to my party to have surren-
dered to what knew to be the most
dangerous and most INSCRIPTIONS
coalition that was ever formed to
throttle free expression of the people.
In consequence of my refusal [ have
to-day their bitter and malignant OPP
position, and / would rather ten
thousand times go down in defeat in
trying to save my state and party,
than to win with their help. want
it distinctly and emphatically under
derstood that from now until all the
nominations for the Legislature are
made, l shall be on the stump, doing
all in my power to awaken the people
to their danger. From this time on
my best endeavors shall be given to
help elect every Democratic nominee
whether he is for or against me. My
Democracy is too well known for any
one to doubt my absolute loyalty to
my party at all times, and shall be
found fighting its battles as long as
there is breath il my body whether it
returns me to the Senate or not.
'My position briefly, then, is this:
Believing that the supremacy of the
machine means turning over the
State to the Republicans as certainly
as the sun rises in the East, 1 will
fight it to the last ditch. 1 want to
go back to the Senate and feel sure
that I shall, but if my seat depends on
ceasing to warn my people of their
danger, would gladly sacrifice it.
Every Democratic nominee for the
Legislature may feel sure of my earn
est and hearty support no matter how
he stands in the Senatorial race, and
when my party has acted in the mat
ter of selecting State ticket, I will
be found standing by her standard no
matter if it may seem doomed to ig-
nominiOus defeat"
