CONVENTION WILL SIMPLY BE
A FORMALITY.

The republican national commit
tee is in session in Chicago. hear
ing the claims of contesting dele
cations and deciding which ones
shall be placed on the temporary
roll. There are about 229 seats
contested and on the outcome of
them depended whether or not Taft
should have control of the conven-
ton. Three of Taft's chieftains,
led by Frank Hitchcock, managed
to get proxies and get seats in the
committee, and they have started
out to make clean sweep for Taft.
So far every Taft delegation has
been seated. Of course the con-
tests will be carried into the con-
vention, but the Taftites will have
their men there to help in making
the temporary organization and the
allies will get no more conisdera-
tion there than in the packed COM
mittee. Whether this proceeding
will end to help Taft's chances Of
ELECTION is another question.
Roosevelt has delegated a man
named Ellis Wade to write the plat
form for the republican national
convention. AS soon as Wade has
completed the job it will be SUBJ
mitted to the president and after
being approved by him will be
offered as a suggestion" to the con-
vention. He is also busy weighing
the merits Of several men as cam
paign managers and will announce
his decision shortly. This is on
the authority of republican newspa-
pers. Having selected the candi-
date, dictated the platform and Sc
lected the manager, Teddy will
probably next write the notification
speech for the chairman of the COM
mittee he selects to break to Taft
the astonishing news that he has
been nominated, and also prepare
Taft's speech Of acceptance. Roose-
welt has an infinite capacity for at
tending to these little details
which, before autocracy supplanted
republicanism, used to be attended
to by the people thru their dele
gates. It is going to cost the dele
gates a pretty penny to enjoy the
privilege of attending the conven-
tion and shouting aye' when told
to do SO but then they will forever
after enjoy the distinction of hav-
ing attended the first non-delibera-
tive national convention ever held
in this country.

Eugene V. Debs will again be the
candidate of the socialists for the
presidency and his candidacy is not
to be laughed at. He is a sincere
and brainy man and the cause he
espouses is growing by leaps and
bounds. There are thousands of So
cialists in Minnesota, a lot Of them
being in every county Quite a few
proclaim themselves members of the
party. Others practice socialism
without knowing it-for instance
the farmers with their cooperative
creameries, elevators and insurance
associations. Dangerous, aren't
they? Fifteen or twenty years ago
populism was scoffed at. Now it
is republican and democratic doc
trine. Twenty years hence the old
parties may have likewise stolen the
socialists thunder. Anything to
get votes, and that's no harm if the
party at the same time gets right.

Accurate investigation shows that
beer and wine drinkers generally
consume more alcohol per man than
spirit drinkres; and while they are
not 50 often intoxicated they suffer
fully as much from diseases and
premature death as do those who
use distilled spirits. S. Davis
President of the American Medical
Association.
Beer drinking in this country
produces the very lowest forms of
inebriety closely allied to criminal
insanity. The most dangerous class
of tramps and ruffians in our large
cities are beer drinkers. Scientific

In comparison with this wholesale
destruction of trusts, it is with
pride that we point to the fact that
during this period of republican
rule less than two thousand new
trusts have been formed. A prom
inent instance of the power and eff
cacy of republican measures in this
direction is the Northern Securities
case, wherein Jim Hill was forced
to change the form of trust and
run it under three different names
instead of under one, which of
course has materially reduced
freight rates on his roads. Another
instance is the paper trust. which
was also compelled to change its
form, and was thereby driven to
such great expense that it had to
raise the price of paper considera-
