Dairying Pays Well.
There are other branches OF live
stock husbandry which can be made
profitable with wheat growing. A
few draft colts raised each year and
sold when four years old would prove
TO be a profitable industry to the
wheat grower Even dairying can be
made profitable on many wheat farms,
especially upon those which have bot
bottom land where alfalfa can be
grown. Even on the higher land
where peas and barley can be grown
dairylng can be successfully followed.
The necessity for succulent feed is not
so great in localities where hay can
be cured quickly and retain its natural
color. Nicely cured alfalfa hay is
worth approximately as much as bran,
pound for pound. This gives the
dairying in an alfalfa growing dis
trict an advantage over other sections.
The opportunities are many on the
wheat farms OF the inland empire for
the development OF a great livestock
industry. This will mean larger reve-
nues. a denser population, better
homes and improved social condi-
tons.

from Omaha says: "In case William
] Bryan receives the democratic nom
ination, his daughter, Mrs. Ruth Bry-
an Leavitt, will take the stump in
Colorado, Wyoming and several other
western states and campaign in her
fathers interests"
This information was given out In
Omaha yesterday by Mayor Dahl
mann, who has Just returned from
Denver, where he has been with other
democratic national committeeman,
completing arrangements for the con-
venton. Mrs. Leavitt will confine
her efforts to women and will only
stump those states which have women

of Russia, will reach his fortieth mile

owing to the relationship existing
between the British royal family and
the sovereigns OF Spain and Russia, the
two birthdays have attracted much
attention in London. 1t is understood
that the stork will again visit the cas-

within a few months.

year.
The birthday of the czar will be
made the occasion of much rejoicing
among the Russian people.
The star of revolution, which has
so long shone on unhappy Russia, is
now In temporary eclipse, and the sub
jects of the emperor are apparently
more contented than they have been
in years. The Free Russia" propa-
ganda, which has its headquarters in
London, is languishing for lack of fl
nancial support. Men acquainted
with international affairs however,
believe that this is but the calm be-
fore the storm, and that revolution
will again. at a no distant date. raw

Another important historical ami
versary, that Of the freedom of Nor
way, will be celebrated tomorrow by
the norwegians. The differences
which for a time marred the unity of
the Scandinavian people, and led to
the separation of Norway and Swe-
den, have now about vanished, and
many natives of Sweden will join to-
morrow in the great celebration to be
held by the Norwegians of London.

POLITICAL FORECAST FROM WASHINGTON

lima to be held next Wednesday will
be solldly for Bryan all of these states
have been centers of opposition to the
Nebraskan and the action of the con-
ventions will be watched with a great
deal of interest by Washington poll
| tlcians.
In South Carolina the fight over
Bryan has not been so bitter as in
the northeastern states, but there has
been much powerful opposition to the
Nebraskan. Senator Tillman, the most
powerful figure in South Carolina pol
itics, is thought to favor Bryan, but
he will not take an active part in the
campaign. The convention to be held
next Wednesday in Columbia will elect
the district delegates, as we'll as the
delegates at large.
In Michigan, where the democratic
state convention will be held at Ian
sing on wednesday, considerable sem
timent in favor of Johnson boomers
who have been carrying on vigorous
campaign during the last few weeks,
hNCOIullk " ltGClNCu AAOAA
Michigan, the voters are about equally
divided between the Bryan and John
son factions. and any attempt to in
struct for Bryan will probably lead to
hot fight on the floor of the con-
vention.
Missouri democrats will hold their
state convention in Jefferson City
next Wednesday, The selection of
delegation favorable to Bryan is
certainty Popular sentiment among
the rank and file of Missouri demo-
Gratis is all in favor of the Nebraska
candidate.
The Pennsylvania democratic con-
ventlon, to be held in Harrisburg on
Wednesday, will be the most import
ant of the week in its far-reaching
effects. For nearly three months
the Pennsylvania Bryan League has
been carrying the Endorsement of its
candidate, and the embodying in the
platform of his views on national
successful in its endeavors to capture
the big Pennsylvania delegation, the
position of the Bryan boomers at the
Denver convention would be render
ed almost impregnable,, Those who
favor johnson or Gray realize this and
will make every effort to stem the
Bryan tide in the convention and to
follow New York's lead in sending an
uninstructed delegation.

Washington, May 16.-Secretary
Taft will be the presidential nominee
of the republican party in this years
campaign This conclusion has been
forced upon even the most unwilling,
now that all the state and congression-
al district conventions have been held.
While many of the southern states will
send contesting delegation, on the
face of the returns from apparently
in control of the situation and most
of the Dixie delegations will proba-
bly, be found lined up with the solid
west for the Ohian Unless there is a
profound change in sentiment between
now and the date set for the conven-
ton, Taft's nomination, on the face
trict conventions, is assured. In the
last week or two many of the high
salaried writer's and employees at the
headquarters of opposing candidates
have been dismissed, and the more
candid of the boomers of Cannon,
Knox, Hughes, Fairbanks, ct al, admit
that the battle is apparently lost.
While interest In the republican
contest is subsiding, the next week
will be a busy one in democratic cir
cles, Conventions and primaries will
be held in many states, in different
parts of the country, and will afford
fair measure Of the strength of the
Bryan opposition.
Democratic conventions will be
held Monday in California, at Fresno,
and in Washington at Spokane Ac-
cording to advces from the coast,
Bryan is certain of Endorsement by
both conventions. State primaries
will be held in Alabama on Monday,
The sentiment In that state is alleged
to be for Bryan for president, and the
delegation will probably go for him
as we'll as instructed for a platform
In line with the policies he advocates.
On Tuesday a primary election will
be held in Florida, at which delegates
to the Denver convention will be cho-
sen. There is little doubt that the en-
tire Florida delegation VIII be Tor Bry'

and dispirlted and the Nebraskan is a

democratic voters,
