Monday to the first congressional con-
vention. The convention meets Wed.
nesday afternoon I'm Concordia hall
Many of the booths were not open
ed at all Monday, the ward committee
man merely signing credentials and
letting ii go at that. This aroused
protests. and some patriots organized
informal precinct boards and elected
delegates to the congressional and
county conventions as contestants.
The principal question now is as to
whether a resolution will be passed In
morning Endorsing Gov. Warmers ad-
ministration. Both Warner and Brad
ley men have been elected to the
convention.
The instruction OF the First congress
sional district delegates TO the ma
tional convention for Secretary OF
War Taft is the thing that is being
discussed by the leaders today.
4 have heard some talk OF move
ment against instruction" says HON
er Warren. THAT would be poor
policy. The people OF this district are
overwhelmingly for Taft, and, IL the
convention should be so shortsighted
as to neglect to instruct for him. IL
would create bad impression"

Mr.. Hearst said In part:
II do not think there mas ever been
such devastating cyclone of verbiagc,
such sirocco OF superheated atmos-
phere as has whipped this afflicted
community for the last few months.
Mr.. Roosevelt has favored us with a
vast variety OF Views. He has been for
the Negro and against the Negro He
has been against the trusts and the
best friend Waii-st. ever had. He has
invited dear Hartman to the White
House TO help him write his message
and has hunted the hapless Hartman
with the big stick from the District or
Columbia. Mr.. TAFT has been all his
life against union labor. but lately has
developed fondness for IL that
amounts almost to infatuation
"On the Democratic side some candi-
dates who have been for free silver
are now against IL. and some who have
beer for government ownership are
now against n. and some who have
been aginst the initiative and referen-
