EXPECT WARM FIGHT
Delegates at Denver Convention Will
Discuss Turning Public Grazing
Lands Over to Western States Lo-
cal Management, Remainder to Be-
como Permanent Holdings Of the
Government.

Denver, June 20.-At the opening of
the last day of the interstate conven-
ton for the purpose of discussing the
public lands problem, the delegates
were looking forward to a warm fight
over the resolutions in favor of turn
ing public grazing lands over to vari-
GUS western states for local manage
ment, and against the inauguration
of any policy that will result in the
United States becoming the permanent
holder and landlord of the remaining
public lands or natural resources con-
nected Herewith The convention has
been remarkable in that its discus
sions have been almost entirely con-
fined to criticism Of the national adj
ministration and its policy of handling
the public, lands.
In the land convention today the first
test of the strength of the two sides
came in the vote over motion that
certain national organizations in dis
pute be admitted without further dis
cussion. The government forces were
defeated

that has enabled him not only to be
president of the United States, but to
fill the whole world with the fame OF
his deeds"
Foraker discussed the race problem
along the lines of his previous speeches
then took UP the Brownsville affair
After recounting what he had brought
out and all of which had been pub
lished, he said:
"The investigation may prove futile
to establish the truth. 1t may never
be known who did the firing. but 1t
will always be known that the men
have at least had a chance to state
their side Of the case. If for what
have done in their behalf i am elimin-
ated from public life, as has been pro-
claimed, then let it be known l shall
at least carry with me into private life
the consoling satisfaction of feeling and
knowing that had been rebuked for an
action that 1 shall never regret but al
ways esteem as creditable to my heart
as man and to my sense of justice
and duty as public official"

WANT A ROOSEVELT MAN
Kentucky Republicans Go On Record
for Progressive Policies.

NSus0SNy saSPNS''S~hS ~
for Progressive Policies.
Louisville, June 2O.-The Kentucky
republican state convention last night
nominated a ticket for state officers
and adopted platform indorsing "a
man of the Roosevelt type" for the
nomination for president in 1908. The
action in the. convention was unani-
nous, but it was preceded by contest
in the committee room between the ad-
herents of Vice President Fairbanks
and Secretary of War Taft. Only one
report was presented, however, no
candidate being named, the resolution
merely expressing preference for
candidate who will faithfully carry out
the Roosevelt policy. It is said the
Fairbanks men opposed the resolution
as calculated to create an inferential
Endorsement Of Taft, and this view
was vaunted by the Taft supporters.
The resolution Is as follows:
1--WE approve the policies and COM
mend the ability, courage and integ-
rity of President Theodore Roosevelt
and his administration, and, without
expressing preference for any candi-
date favor the selection by the nation
al convention for president of one in
will Jenergetically carry them out in the
interests of all the people,"
The afternoon session of the con-
vention was devoted to organization,
former Governor W. F. Bradley being
made permanent chairman. At the
night session the committees reported,
the platform was adopted and the tick
ct named. Augustus F.. Wilson Of
Louisville was unanimously the choice
Of the convention for governor. Eff
forts to find Mr.. Wilson proved un-
availing The convention proceeded to
choose lieutenant governor, w. H.
Cox of Maysvile, who, like Mr.. Will
son, had no opposition.
Before the nominations for the re-
manning state officers were gone into
Mr. Wilson was found and delivered
his address Of acceptance His speech
was brief and confined to an express
sion Of appreciation of his adherence
to the doctrines enunciated in the
platform and a vigorous declaration for
fair elections.
Augustus E. Wilson for many years
has been prominent in politics and at
the bar. In 1903 he was an unsuccess-
full candidate for the republican nomi-
nation for governor. He has held nu-
merous political offices.
Aside from the presidential plank
the most important resolution adopted
urges local option, declaring I'VE favor
the enactment and enforcement of a
uniform local option law applicable
alike to every county in the state with
the county as the governing unit"
