is the case, nor do any Of the Bryan
workers in Pennsylvania apprehend
that it may be. We know that a
great deal of money has been expend-
ed and is still available to keep Penn

LESION to Roosevelt did not arouse the
enthusiasm of the delegates, but
when he mentioned the name of
Taft, then the convention went wild.
Most OF the delegates were stand
patters on the tariff, for his refer
ence to an adjustment OF the tariff
was received without any demonstra.
tion. In conclusion. he announced
the temporary organization.
1t required but one hour of the
convention to complete its work
when it reassembled In the Afternoon.
Had the committee on resolutions
been ready to report ten minutes
would have sufficed. The commit
tee on Credentials submitted It's re-.
port showing 2S7 delegates In attend
ance, Blaine, Custer and Leinhi,
with sixteen delegates, not being
represented. The report was adopt.
ed.
The committee on permanent or
ganization also reported. the report
being adopted, making Charles l..
Hoffman, the king OF Kootenai coun.
ty, permanent chairman and the TEN.
porary secretaries permanent secre'
taries.
Chairman Hoffman paid high trib
ute to the worth of Senator Hepburn
who, he said, held the republican
party together In Idaho in 1896, wher
many of the cid wheelhorses had de
serted the ship of Bryan. He ais,
paid high tribute to Taft, claimin,
that he was the original Taft man IL
the country. Mr.. Hoffman had
revelation when Taft was appointed
to the supreme bench and at tina
time predicted that some day Tat
would be president. He asked tn
question il anybody could beat that
when delegate retorted, Eyes
Taft's mother could.''
This response put Quietus upo
Hoffman, who, when the convention
came out Of its CONFUSION of laug b ter
ended his address.
The committee on resolutions
through James II. Wallis, secretar
Of the committee, submitted Its re
port. The report was adopted unanl

states IL will be noticed In every
case where there has been n contest
that the Taft delegates are white
men and federal oIiice holders. In
every instance the contestine delega'

This will place the delegates in order
TO win the nomination. For this
reason his friend must turn down the
negro delegates and the result viii be
that the states IN the North, In

opening panels in the ceiling. There
are in this room 72 32-candle power

balcony, and in six cluster chandeliers,
with rehectors, on the steel arches.
Twelve 16-candle lamps outline two

Alternating switches, manipulated from
switch plates ON either side the entrance

piano proves all that is claimed for it.
At the rear of the drill hall are en-

front rooms on the first floor.
On the northwest front a pretty room,

A basement entrance and access to

INTERIOR
The convenience of interior arrange

the fine effect Of the special decorations

Monday, February "a, "Armory Dedi-
cation Day" was observed in Dickinson
as a general holiday, Although the
weather man. in contrary mood, did not
deign to hand out the balmy, sunny
weather of previous days and sent show
;ers instead, a few raindrops could not
.dampen the enthusiasm of the people
and every man, woman and Child in the
city made committee of one to see that
"their" armory was properly dedicated.
Company K has never had suitable
accommodations for taking care of its
equipment and for drill purposes, and a
prouder and happier set aof men than

action in securing the state aid and his
energy and indomitablc perseverance
in seeing the undertaking through; to

Of the people Of the city, who did not
hesitate to put their hands deep into
their pockets that the armory might be
realized, is credit due for the erection of
the beautiful building dedicated on Mon
day.
When eleven months ago the legisla-
ture made it possible for companies of
the North Dakota National Guard to re-
ceive state aid in erecting armories, Cap
tain Osborn made up his mind to be first
in the field and, if energy. and enthusi-
asm could accomplish anything, secure
an armory for Dickinson. He was first
and Mayor Manning was on hand with
him to put up check in any amount
needed to show that Company Il and
Dickinson meant business. al
At first a $4,000 building was planned,
then $I7 900 was arranged for.~ But, to
meet various needs. additions and
changes haye been made until, as COM
pleted, the cost will be fully $4,000, and
$4,000 when the basement, which is

BOARD OF TRADE
 WORKS ON TUNNEL
Wants Pledges from Candi-
 dates on Board
PROBING ROAD QUESTION
Board Hopes To Act as Mediator Be- tween City and County In Seeing That Tunnel Expense Is
 Shared Equitably.

The Board of Trade at it's next regular meeting will dig deeply into the road question. The committee, of which John w. ONeill is chairman has been actively at work, and it is intended to get down to business.
 Every candidate for the Board of Reve- nue will be pledged to use his best ef- forts, and to see that all possible money is expended in the best advantage on the Jefferson county roads,
 The board will also take the proposed tunnel through Red mountain in hand. discuss it's advantages and hear reports of various parties on it's praeticability. It was the speech of Hugh MeGeever before the board which has caused such re- newal of interest in the proposition.
 The Board of Trade will probably be the third party to act between the city and county in order that proper terms may be reached in bearing the burden of ex- pense. The road committee intends to do all in it's power to push the tunnel by bringing the matter before the City Coun- cil and insisting that funds be set aside for it's construction.
