ing the temporary organization per-
manent, with the addition of Harvey
AXE of Stark county as secretary.
This report was adopted unanimously
and IL was the first semblance OF har-
mony that had been manifested in the
proceedings, up to this time.

man of the committee on resolutions,
after night spent with his colleagues
Samuel Mcclure of the Youngstown
Telegram and Charles c. Baker, of
Alliance, in deciding what not to say)
made the following report.
Your committee on resolutions beg
leave to make the following report:
We, the representatives of the Re-
publicans of the Eighteenth congress
sional district of Ohio in convention
assembled, congratulate the people of
this district upon the continuance of
the splendid prosperity which has fol.
lowed the practical application of Re-
publican principles in national affairs
We most cordially indorse and ap-
prove the magnificent administration
of President Roosevelt, and his cour.
ageous enforcement of the laws which
Republican congresses have placed
upon the statute books to protect the
people.
We further endorse and approve the
legislation enacted by the Republi
cans in the present congress and the
work of the Ohio members in formu-
lating and enacting the wise laws re-
lating to railroad rate Legislation, the
construction Of the Panama canal, and
the protection of the public health.
We pledge the nominee of this con
vention to uphold the principles OF
protection, the interests of the com
mon people, and to support the time
honored policies of the Republican
party.
The slap at Foraker and Dick, the
two United States senators from

After the adoption of the resolu

| AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention met promptly a
1880 o'clock, with every member O
the various delegations in their seats
S. s. Conroy of Youngstown, offered
resolution empowering the congres
sional committee to have full charg
of the congressional primaries and au
thofizing them to demand that a di
rect vote by precincts be hereafter re
quired in choosing delegates to tn,
convention. The resolution was lait
on the table and thus put to sleep.
The chairman called for a roll cal
of the counties for presentations o
candidates.

Mr.. Day would not say that he had
a second choice in the event that
Grant could not be nominated, and he
was like the other delegates for Grant

LOOKS LIKE GRANT
General Belief is That Speaker viii
Throw His Support to Stark's
Candidate.

Sizing up the situation from state
ments and arguments heard last night
J. j. Grant, the Stark county candi-
date, has the favored chance of being
the nominee of the congressional con-
vention, says the Youngstown Vindi.
Gator.
/ This does not mean, however, that
the chances of Congressman Kennedy
are hopeless.
| From the best opinion of those who
size up the situation, with understand
ing, the nominee will be either Grant
or Kennedy with the chances favoring
Grant because of the general belief
that when Mr.. Speaker decides that
he cannot be nominated he will throw
can control to Grant.
1t remains to be seen whether Mr..
Speaker can deliver the goods.
In somewhat heated argument had
by Col. Taylor, president of the
Knowles, Taylor e Knowles Pottery
company, w. e. Wells, first vice pres
ident of the Loughlin Pottery compa-
ny, and w. V. Blake, mayor of East
Liverpool, the three
BEING KENNEDY DELEGATES
from East Liverpool and number Of
Speaker delegates from Columbiana
county, Mr.. Wells, who is given credit
with speaking from experitnce, put
the situation in this manner:
"Mr. Speaker, in my opinion, cannot
be nominated in this convention, but
Columbiana county will name the
nominee. Columbiana county can and
will say whether the nominee be Ken
nedy or Grant. In my judgment If the
unit rule is enforced and the dele
gates elected for Mr.. Kennedy are de-
MED their rights in the convention
and then the delegates of Columbiana
county are turned over to Mr. Grant,
the Republican party in Columbiana
county will be hopelessly split and to
the imminent danger of it's candidates.
| There can be no harmony in the party
| in Columbiana county if the voters
of East Liverpool and other places
are to be disfranchised by being de
MED the right to express by their
votes their choice of Congressman
Kennedy as their candidate. Mr.
Grant did not
SUBMIT HIS CANDIDACY
to the voters of Columbiana county.
He did not ask for their votes at the
primaries, then why should he expect
or receive these votes for the nomina,
tion? 1t is different should Kennedy
lie nominated. His nomination would
bring about harmony and put the. par.
ty in our county in good shape for the
winning of victories"
The Kenncdy delegates from East
Liverpool, So strong, arrived at
o'clock last night and their appear

Mr.. Day is a son of Justice w. R.

politics and is a popular leader in his
party in his home city and county.
Mr.. Day has the appearance and

whether there is some substantial
GROUND FOR THE HOPE

whether there is some substantial
GROUND FOR THE HOPE
can be disclosed only by the later
convention proceedings.
The warm feeling which Mr.. Clark
is supposed to have for Kennedy dates
back to the time of the formers ap.
pointment as postmaster of Canton.
There was a fight for the place and
there were influential men, leaders in
the party and prominent business
men, who were opposed to the appoint
ment of the present incumbent. 1t
was thought, too, that in the face of
this opposition Kennedy would not
dare recommend his appointment, but
he did, and thereby hangs tale, a
much more important story, by the
way, than is apparent on the surface.
Among the opposers of Mr.. Clark
we're the Dueber watch people, among
the most powerful business interests
in Canton. This opposition, it is said,
was based on business reasons, but it
was there, none the less and it was a
factor that had
TO BE RECKONED WITH.
1t was even of sufficient force to JUS
tify Mr.. Dueber in asking Kennedy
point blank why Clark, said to be a
personal and business enemy of the
Dueber interests, had been appointed.
The reply, it would seem was sat
isfactory, for Mr.. Dueber never there
after manifested any animosity toward
the congressman from Youngstown.
1t was a good exhibition of wise pol
itics, for Mr.. Kennedy succeeded not
only in making a staunch friend OF
Mr.. Clark. but he succeeded in placat-
ing the Dueber interests as well.
But now Mr.. Clark is here as de-
egate and the question is, what will
he do? That question was asked a
multitude of times about the Tod
house last night, ana it has been
ASKED MANY TINES
wherever politicians have been con-
gregated. That he feels friendly to-
WdTu MI. Sch lAoS w 49,
toned; but whether his friendship will
carry him to the extent of an overt
act on his behalf is beyond even a
guess.
However, it has been realized all
along and it is realized more fully
now than ever before since the begin
ming of the fight, that not even the
smallest possible influence that may
work for good can be neglected. The
fight is too close to take chances, and
even the slenderest rope will be
worked to the breaking point. Also,
it may be said that Mr.. Clark is only
one of many regarding whose possi-
BILE procedure there is large degree
of curiosity and from each Of these
more or less prominent leaders is
anxiously awaited some expression
that may give possible clue as to
his course of action.

WHAT WILL CLARK Dor
Attitude of canton's Postmaster Is of
Particular Interest.

tutCTCSIs
What will Clark do?" is one of the
most perplexing questions OF the con-
vention and one which is among those
most frequently heard, states the
Youngstown Vindicator.
The man referred to is George
Clark, postmaster of Canton. The
question as to his possible attitude is
of interest to every one but partic-
ularly to the supporters of the Ma
honing county candidate. BY many
Of them something is hoped for from
Mr.. Clark. Nobody seems to knew
just what, but there is a feeling that
should the chance present itself the
representative of Uncle Sam in Mr..
Grants balliwick will be more than
willing TO do the Mahoning county
statesman good turn. Whether the
wish is father to the thought or

At the close of the nominating
speeches the ballotting commenced
and each county stood Loyalty by its
own candidate. Result of first ballot
was Columbiana, Speaker, 76; Ma
honing, Kennedy, 6S; Stark, Grant,

to break the monotony until the 23d
ballot was read, after which some
one yelled skidoo, and this was fol
lowed by the Mahoning county dele
cation breaking out in song, the selec-
tion being John Browns Body" Aft
ter another ballot the song spirit
reached the other delegations and for
an hour or more, or until adjournment
such melodies as Columbia" How

were rendered in succession. Finally,
at the close of the 47th ballot, the re-
suit of which was the same as the
first, an adjournment was taken until
II o'clock tonight.

Selecting Volunteers.

Whenever the United States has
been at war with any other country 1t
has always been a matter for serious
complaint on the other side that the
Americans take accurate aim before
firing-With extremely fatal results.
How excellent was the craftsmanship
of the volunteers on Bunker Hill is a
matter OF record. There is an inter-
esting entry in the diary of John Har-
rover, an indentured schoolmaster of
Virginia.
Colonel Washington, of this col
ony," he wrote, being appointed gen.
eralissimo of all the American forces
raised and to be raised, made a de-
mand of FIVE hundred rifiemen from
the frontiers of this colony. But those
that insisted on going far exceeded
the number wanted. when, in order to
avoid giving offense, the Commanding
officer chuse his company by the fol-
lowing method.
He took a board of a foot square,
and with chalk drew the shape of a
moderate nose In the centre and nailed
it up to a tree at one hundred and
fifty yards distance and those who
came highest the mark with a single
ball was to go. But by the first forty
or fifty that fired the nose was all
blown out of the board. and by the
time his Company was up the whole
board had shared the same fate.

The Winter Egg supply.

The poultry man is anxious to get
winter eggs The price paid for eggs
in winter is enough to warrant consid-
cradle time and thought upon methods
of wintering and feeding the poultry
for winter egg production. The old
way of letting the chickens roost in
the trees or on fences usually keeps
healthy fowls and results in most ex-
cellent laying in the spring as the
weather gets warmer and more pleas
ant. But every farmers hens lay at
that time Of year, and eggs get very
cheap. Winter eggs are profitable be-
cause of the great demand for them
during the winter season.
In spring the hens get a variety of
foods. They exercise running over the
fields, gathering a variety of foods.
They are warm both day and night.
By surrounding them with similar
conditions during the winter months
winter eggs may be obtained A
warm, well-ventilated roosting place,
kept clean, is one essential.
A warm place, free from winds,
snow and rain, in which to exercise
is another. Then feed a variety Of
grain in cut straw or other litter in
this warm place so the hens may work
scratching the litter apart. Oats, with
wheat thrown into the cut straw, will
give them exercise. Near noon feed
tbe bran mash including table serans
and milk and at night a full ration
Of corn. If cabbage or turnips given
raw can be fed to them, they will do
even better. Green bone. meat scraps,
grit. clean water are also helpful If
these conditions can be met with in
the dead of winter the hens will do
some laying, at least when eggs are
scarce and prices are high. Good ven
tilation without draft is very i'm
portant as draft often causes colds
and roup.

Professor Roberts, who for many
years was at the head of the Cornell
ithaca, n. " Experiment Station, in
recent address made this remark:
IF l were twenty years younger l
should go up and down OIL country
emphasizing the work of plants in pro-
ducing soil productivity. Instead OF
using a mallet, as l once did, to put
piece of land in productive state, |
should use plants. Blessed be weeds.
Some are minute, but all are soil-build-
ers. They give their bodies back to
the soil and add to the supply of high
ly available plant food. Tillage and
plants 1 would emphasize in soil
building"
Farmers are indebted to DR.. Roberts
for so persistently advocating, and
proving, too, the value of cultivation
to make available the immense amount
of potash stored in the sod. At first
the statement was ridiculed, but the
doctor was known to be a cautious as
well as a learned man, and not given
to making rash statements, so others
investigated and found to their sur
prise that he was right. Then he and
others took up the question of the
raising Of legumenous plants and the
blowing of them under to add nitrogen
to the soil which had been gathered
By the plants from that boundless res
ervoir, the air. Thus the two most
expensive plant foods became the least
expensive. Then came his advocacy,
renewed persistently, of the cover
crop, so that the plantless soil during
the winter is only to be found on
farms whose owners are too stubborn
to learn. These incidents are men
toned to point out anew the value to
the soil of green manuring and of cul-
tivation so that he who runs may read.
