Anti-Taft Men in Control.

1t is said that the anti-Taft people flash
ed up at the convention with duplicates OF
this form Of ticket of admission. which
they had obtained in some way. and that
out Of the convention numbering more
than 800 people there were not more than
forty of the specially selected Taft men,
Mr. Chubb at the outset proposed to des-
ignate a chairman of the convention, but
Mr.. J. N. Stripping insisted that the con-
vention should elect its chairman. 1t ID
said that Mr.. Chubb refused to put the
motion: whereupon 1t was put by MT
Stripping and carried with great acclaim.
man. A secretary was chosen, and the
convention proceeded to business, adopt
ing the following resolution:
Resolved. That we as delegates duly
elect to the republican state conven-
ton of Florida. in convention assembled.
express our unqualified disapproval of at
temptS to influence and control. by use Of
federal patronage, through government Of
ficeholders. the selection of delegates to
the republican national convention IN the
interest of any presidential candidate. We
therefore choose the four following un-
pledged delegates to the republican ma
tfonal convention and instruct them to
SO vote as to best serve the interests OF
he republican party"
The following delegates were named: j..
n. Stripping. Col. ]. Dive Hazard. J. HI.
Dickinson, r. r. Robinson. Alternates.
George E. Gay. c. c. Haight. s. T. Tice.
T. s.. Harris. Up to this time 1t is said
there had been no attempt of the Taft
people to bolt. A few speeches were de-
livered, routine business was transacted
and the convention adjourned.
Chubb's Rump Convention.
After adjournment it is said that Mr..
Chubb gathered his forty partisans and
retiring to corner of the hall proceeded
to organize another convention. He
named the chairman, and this .rump con-
vention adopted resolutions, instructed for
Mr.. Taft and selected delegates-at-large
to the national convention.
1t is alleged that the four delegates-at-
large selected by Mr.. Chubb comprise
three federal officials and the national
committeeman. Mr.. Chubb was one Of
the delegates selected to go to Chicago.
The Florida affair has attracted the at
tention of the managers and adherents of
the other republican candidates for the
presidential nomination. and 1t Is said
from this time on not only will a close
watch be kept upon the proceedings Of all
the southern state and district conven-
tions. but there will be closer scrutiny of
the press accounts of these meetings and
that If mistakes creep into the printed
accounts notice will be called ito them.

Details of the split In the Florida re-
publican convention of last week have
reached Washington. They were brought
by three republicans we'll known in the
councils of the party who were in ST.
Augustine when the convention was held
Their account differs materially from
some of the published press reports which
were sent out of ST. Augustine.
According to the statement of one Of
these visiting statesmen. when the con-
vention was called by Henry s. Chubb
chairman of the state committee and a
partisan of the Taft faction, provision
was not made for the holding of con-
ventions in most of the counties to Sc
lect delegates to the state convention.
Instead, it is alleged, Mr.. Chubb sent out
some blank cards to be filled in by those
in sympathy with the Taft movement and
by federal officials. The card bore this
legend:

NEW YORK, February S.-George B.
Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treasury oc-
cupied today for the first time Offices that
have been fitted up for him in the custom
house. 1t was also the first time he had
been in the new building. Custom house
business was the sole object of his trip to
this city, and he did not visit the sub
treasury or transact any business in re-
lation to the banking or monetary situa-
:. Refused Several Offers.
With Collector Fowler and Appraiser
Wanamaker, the Secretary discussed those
methods for simplifying the business
operations of the custom house and the
appraisers department which he first sug-
gested last fall The general object Of the
plan is to do away with much of the red
tape that has been wound around the
business between the government and
importers and facilitate the transaction of
business.
The Secretary has refused all offers to
engage In business either as president of
the Knickerbocker Trust Company or as
the head of any other financial institu-
ton or corporation. The offer to take
charge of the Knickerbocker was made
by friends of the Secretary who are in
terested in the rehabilitation of the insti-
tuition and was. of course, conditioned on
the success of the resumption plan. Within
the past three months several other offers
have been made to the Secretary. His
rason for declining all of them was that
he intends to remain in the Treasury De-
partmept until the end of the Roosevelt
adminis ration.

Insists it is no Pipe Dream

That we will have railroad is no
longer "pipe dream" but reality.
and it will not be long ere our
peaceful slumbers are disturbed by
the chug, chug and whistle OF
the locomotive as it rumbles into
Grindstone. The Milwaukee road
has started in the wheel to rolling
by esta blishing survey from Kadoka
to Belle Fourche and will connect
them with the coast line, and the
North Western would be doing the
unexpected If they let the Milwaukee
take this fertile section of the state
away from them. Surveyors of both
roads have been at work in this COM
munity lately and have done it SO
quietly that no one seems to have
noticed it. The North Western
road already has an abundance of
material at Bonesteel and Belle
Fourche which they will soon make
use of. Keep your eyes open, there's
something doing.

THE PASSING OF THE CATTLE
MEN,

There is being waged in Stanley
and Lyman counties the last fight of
people who have made South Da-
kota famous-the large holding
cattlemen. Their defeat is already
assured for they are fighting against
a wholly different class of men-the
agriculturists the men who bring
civilization and prosperity to any
community. The cattlemen of the
period of fifteen and twenty years
ago are fighting gallantly to the last
against the encroachment of these
tillers of the soil and although their
cause Is already lost, the galantry
which they show in defending their
rights-or what they consider their
rights-to the bitter end, cannot do
otherwise than compel admiration.
Looking back over the history of
the state-and especially that part of
1t lying west of the Missouri river
for the past thirty years, we cannot
help but appreciate the view now
taken by the cattle men in this their
last fight. Between the Missouri
river and the Bad Lands there was
an immense area, which belonged to
no one man but to a large number of
men in common. Over this area
wandered the large herd of cattle,
thousands of them belonging to one
owner. The life on the western
ranges in raising and caring for these
was free. They owned the prairies
almost by divine right--for the
prairies were open to them. Is it
any wonder then with the approach
OF the small farmer, with the erec-
tion OF houses and barns and fences
which kept gradually confining their
herds to smaller areas; with the grow
ing crops which forbade the prim.
iscuous rowing of cattle that spirit
OF enmity sprang up between the cattle
kings and the small farmers. The
cattle men held the prairies by long
usage and the farmers owned their
land by government right. Each class
sought to overcome the other until
at last the farmers haye sought pro-
lection of the courts-and the
courts are in duty bound to uphold
them.
But someone's loss is always source
OF gain to others. The encroach-
ment of the farming class has sound
ed the death knell of the cattle king;
but it has insured the proper develop
ment of large area. And though
we cherish a feeling Of sympathy for
the cattlemen, at the same time we
admit that their passing is for the
good of the state and civilization.

Ac- cording to present plans it will take its departure for the west tomorrow nor ming, The German entrant will be still further delayed for the completion of repairs which are being made. These contestants, together with the others, scattered along between Chicago and Fremont, Neb., hope to reach San Francisco under their own power in time to catch a boat for Alaska, March 22, if not earlier. Failing in that, they have one more chance to make the passage by means of the steamer which will leave Seattle on April L Chicago automobilists interested in the race had no knowledge of the existence of an agreement among the drivers of the various cars which contemplated the shipping of the cars by train over a portion of the journey, rumors of which became current earlier in the day.

As the league is run at present member of the fac ulty of each of the schools is a mem Der of the executive board. It has been stated that the New Haven high school objects to a member of the fac- ulty being on the board and thls is one of the reasons why they do not wish to enter the league. The follow ing schools are now members of the league: Meriden High school, Hartford High school, Bridgeport High school, Middletown High school and the New Britain High school.

SPALDING'S DECISION.
Seven Minutes of Clinton-Light Guard
 Game Should be Played.

There has been much discussion con- corning the Clinton and Light Guard game played February lS, at the Boys club. The cause of the discussion was that this game was stopped about the middle of the second half by the lights going out. The Light Guards who were ahead, the score being to ,, claimed this game as victory The Clintons on the other hand claimed that this game could not be counted, as it was not finished. After much discussion, between the managers II was finally decided. that they shouid write to Spaldng, and let him decide. He said that the seven minutes would have to be played out, before the game could be called finished.
 This was the second game or a ser les the best two out of three, the Light Guards winning the first game al the armory. Since the Clinton quin- tet has an open date for Saturday night it would be great convenience. if the Light Guards would play them then. It would settle the result or the game.
 This will be the first seven minute game in this city this season, and It certainly ought to arouse great inter est. The game whenever decided upon, will be played at the Boys club.
