and Of 1l3 republicans, LOG were in favor

sidered him sout of the race on his own
motion. Fifteen of the democrats were
for Bryan and for Hearst. Two OF
the republicans favored Shaw and Taft
and Hughes aud Root had vote each.
With Mr.. Roosevelt left ont of the
calculation. Taft led the procession,
with IS votes. LaFollette receiving 10,
Hughes III, Root and Shaw I each, Folk
4, Fairbanks 3 ana Doll, er, Moody and
Warner each.
Of the l3l members of the Legislature,
12a were polled on the straight Roose-
yelt- Bryan proposition, showing chem
to be almost unanimously in favor
among their partisans. With Bryan
and Hearst our of consideration, 10
democrats favored LaEollett and |
favored Roosevelt, the entire democratic
strength abandoning the democratic
party.
This is the peculiar condition of poll
tics in a typical western state. The
principles of Roosevelt, of LaFollett
and of Bryan prevail and party lines
are loose drawn. Sioux Fall Press.

WeIIington,s ,Renrimand.

During the occupation Of Paris by
the allies in 1915 French marshal
shouldered an English colonel from the
sidewalk into the street. Thereupon
the Englishman, being forbidden by a
general order Of Wellington to give a
challenge to or accept one from a
French officer, did what he considered
the only thing left him, knocked the
Frenchman down and later refused
him satisfaction in duel. The latter
then made a formal complaint to the
duke, who to soothe the marshals feel
ings sent written reprimand to the
colonel, but in 1t inclosed a cordial in
ritation to dinner.
