TAFT is
AGAINST
The FIELD

Chicago, June 2 What will prob.
ably be the only contest over the Re.
publican nomination for president
will be fought out in Chicago this
week and next before the national
committee. Taft has clear major
ity of the delegates as elected and
it will be case OF the administra.
tion cand idate against the field. The
hope OF the allies Is that a sufficient
number OF contests may be decided
against Taft. by the national com.
mittee. AZ to prolong the fight beyond
the first ballot. From present ap.
pearances. there il little prospects of
a victory for the allies A little
less than 200 contests are to be decid-
ed by he committee. but Taft Is al.
most certain OF securing enough of
the contested seats to assure his nom.
ination without struggle.

The German Lutheran population of

soon as a few more shall have come it
will be possiable. and almos necessary,
to erect a church in Esmond for that de-
nomination. These few more will doubt
less be coming soon, as the cheap lands to
be bought near this place are attracting
many of the farmers of Illinois and Iowa
who are of that faith, and the certainty OF
having their own church will also be an
-inducement to them. Rev. Brun already
has the pledge of portion of the necessary
funds for building, but thinks a short de.
lay will give others a chance to partici.
