TAFT AGAINST
The FIELD
NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEETS TO
DECIDE CONTESTS WARM
TIME EXPECTED

Chicago, June What will proba-
bly, be the only contest over the repub-
lican nomination for president will be
fought out in Chicago this week and /
next before the republican national
committee Taft has a clear majority |
Of the delegates elected and it will be
a case of the administration candidate
against the field. The hope Of the
allies is that a sufficient number Of
contests may be decided against Taft,
by the national committee, as to pro-
long the fight beyond the first ballot
From the present prospect there is
little chance for a victory for the al
lies. A little less than 200 contests are
to be decided by the committee but
Taft is almost certain Of securing en-
ough OF the contested seats TO secure
his nominamtion without struggle
| 1t is generally understood that Har-
ry s. New Of Indiana, chairman Of The
national committee is a Taft man,
Ialthough the thirteen congressional dis
tricts Of the state Of Indiana have de-
! clared solidly for Fairbanks and have
instructed for Fairbanks. Mr.. Fair
banks and Mr.. New, however, have
not hitched in recent years, and fol
J that matter the tie between Mr. Fair
2 banks and Senator Beyeridge is 10
5 Of the stoutest kind. Senator Hem
s enway, Mr.. Beveridge's colleague, i
Q sturdy in his fidelity to the vice presi
! dent While the Beyeridge men 81,
! that tie vice president viii get tn
support of Indiana on the first ballo'
r they intimate that it will be the pei
u functory 1--WE EXPECT to lose anyhow
" kind. 1t is known that Mr. Fairbank
= is to have a bunch ofadelegates froi
y the southern states and expects SUI
:, port from other quarters.
n Between now and convention lin
a the struggle will be to control the n
Ell tional committee. In times past, n
vs tably in 1884, the convention upset re
- ommendation Of the national comm
y tee and in 1892, the antt1arrison mt
controlled the committee only to To-
- it. and as a result scores OF fedsr

Harvest Entertainment.

Mr.. and Mrs. Sid Wylie gave a
harvest dinner on the lawn
at beautiful Inglewood, few miles
from the city, Wednesday.
A large party was present and
several toasts enjoyed, among them
one from the charming Miss Ruth,
sister of Mr., Wylie.
Inglewood hospitality can not be
surpassed. The lawn was certainly
the scene of much feasting and en-
joyment upon this exquisite sum
mer day; and surely the culinary
part was exha listed in the prepa-
ration of the elegant repast served
with so much grace and courtesy.
We are very sure that repetition
would be enjoyed by those present
at this gathering of some of Ooion
County's best and loveliest people.
We left with regret the wide por-
tails of Inglewood, sorry that we
could not abide with such magnani-
nous people. ***

the absence OF other loved ones on

MRS. Robt. r. Rinehart Dead.

since the arrival OF the family from
Texas a few weeks ago, no one
thought that she was dandgerous-
ly sick. She was reared at Bowie,
Texas, and was the daughter OF
S. j. Burnett, Trustee of Montague
County. She was married to Mr..
Rinehart in October, 1906, and they
resided in Fort Worth until they
moved to this city few weeks ago.
On Aug. II 1907. beautiful
baby boy came to bless this happy
union. There are many incidents
connected with her death that
make it unusually sad. She was
twenty five years old and member
Of and worker in the Baptist Church
at Bowie. She came with her hus-
band to the home of his mother in
this city and they were repairing
and improving the home with the
intention of spending a portion OF
their time here. She had not been
we'll since coming here a nd had
been under the care of a physician
part Of the time before her last
illness.
She was taken i'll Saturday, July
4, with what her physician called
congest1ve headache and suffered
with that for several days but the
physician and family thought she
was convalascing When ,on Satur-
day night, July 28,e-r3O she
was taken suddenly Z, Phys
iciaus and neighboAs e sum-
moned and did all in tRate ower to
save her but, despite theA efforts,
her life went out at 1,30 Sunday
morning. Truly, death Y owes a
shining mark"
She was the sixth child in fam
lily of ten Give boys and five girls)
and her death is the first to break
the family circle. Her husband and
baby, accompanied by Matte Rine-
hart, left with her remains Sunday
night at II o'clock for Bowie, where
the funeral and burial took place
amid her many loved ones and
friends.
Mrs. Rinehart had only been in
our city short while but was fast
winning her way into the hearts of
our people by her sunny disposition
and true, noble character, and had
the thread OF lite been heightened
we feel that her friends would have
been numbered by the scores for
"None knew her but t9s9ove her;
none named her but ,9raise. +"
