the good sense to turn the recur-

The Republican party has placed
as its standard bearers William H
TAFT, Of Ohio, and James S. Sher-
man, of New York, for the cam
Paign of 1908, and with this team
OF clean and able men who repre-
sent the most advanced ideas of
American politics, the country must
feel confident that there will be no
radical changes in the policies of
Government as carried out by the
Republican party. With the pros
poets that William Jennings BRYAN |
Will be nominated at Denver BY the
Democrats next month, the election
OF Taft and Sherman is almost
certainty. Delaware will give
good safe majority for the Republi-
can ticket this fall, and it is now
up to the Republicans of the State
to get together and nominate a
strong State ticket. which will COM t
mand the support of every Repub- :
lcan worthy of the name. Kent 7
and Sussex must especially look b
after their county nominations a Il
convention like that in Kent county e,
TWO years ago, will give the county $
o the Democratic party by a thous- Il Il
md majority. We have starred Dc

MODEL HIT HIM.
Bryan's SOn.in-Law in Fight
With an Italian.
The Artist Defends Himself
With a Knife.

Paris. May 12.-W. H. Leavitt, son-in-
law of w. ]. Bryan, had a dangerous
encounter yesterday with an Italian
named Cana. who had been sitting for
Mr.. Leavitt as a model in connection
with a picture which the American ar
fist Is painting for the city hall at Den
yer, Colo.
After being released from his en-
gagement Cana returned repeatedly to
Mr.. Leavitt's studio and demanded ex-
ira compensation. This was refused
him. The model finally came back
armed with a bludgeon with which he
struck Mr.. Leavitt on the head. The
artist was knocked down, but he jump
ed up at once and defended himself
with a knife. He slashed at Cana and
cut him on the head. Help came and
the Italian was arrested and taken to
a hospital.
Mr.. Leavitt was cut on the head by
the blow from the stick but neither
man is in a dangerous condition.

AN OLD TIME CROOK.
Frank Morgan, in Jail at Alma,
Escaped IS Years Ago at Seattle.

w. F. Laubscher, captain of police
at Seattle, Wash, and Bert G. Thomp-
son, deputy sheriff Of King county, in
that state. arrived in the city today
Governor Hoch for Frank Morgan.
alias Hart, alias Lamb, wanted in Seat
tie for breaking Jail thirteen years ago
last month. Morgan was confined on
charge of swindling two girls out of
$3.50 in a confidence game in April in
1894. This long sought prisoner is
now in Jail at Alma, Kan, where he is
awaiting sentence for swindling a pas
senger on a Union Pacific train last
month. He was captured through the
efforts of J. F. Rossiter, special de-
tective for the road with headquarters
in this city. 1t was through Mr.. Ros-
siter's energy and craft that Morgan
was identified as the old Seattle Jail
the rogue's gallery at Kansas City and
saw still another picture Of the con-
fidence man in the Omaha. Neb., gall
lery. Communication with the Seat
identity beyond question and these
two officers came on after their man.
Both officers have unstinted praise for
the Topeka detectives clever wotk in
this case. Morgan is an accomplished
crook The Washington officers stated
that they found traces of his work at
several places between here and Seat
tie. Several times during the past
thirteen years they had heard of him
and his crimes. but could never quite
get their hands on him. They left for
Alma with their papers thisn evening
and expect to get away wor Washing
with their prisoner early Wednesday
morning.
There is an interesting story behind
Morgan's escape from the King county
jail. He escaped with desperate
criminal named Tom Blank, in for
murder. Blank held the jailer up with
a wooden gun and let all the prisoners
then in the Jail out in bunch. Blank
and all the others prisoners except
Morgan were recaptured.

Mr.. M'C0MBS KILLED.
Oakland Man Run Over by a Train in
Colorado.

c. D. McCombs, the Union Pacific
conductor on the freight train running
between Ellis, Kan, and Cheyenne
ing at small station called McAllaster
by being run over by his train. Nc
Combs attempted to board the moving
train and in some manner slipped and
lost his hold on the rail and fell under
the car and was cut in two. The wheels
passed over his body at the middle and
he died instantly. The remains were
brought to Oakland this morning from
Ellis on special train accompanied by
a large number of conductors and
trainmen. The o. r. G. took charge of
the burial service at the funeral which
was held at the house in Oakland this
afternoon. The dead conductor left a
wife and two children.
1t would seem that hard fate pursues
Mrs. McCombs. During the past six
months she has had a cousin killed by
train and a brother had his leg cut
off. Now she loses her husband. All
were trainmen.

Every Indication of Harmony in
Michigan State Convention.

Grand Rapids, Mich, May IA
When the Republican state conven-
ton was called to order here shortly
before noon today to name four dele
gates at large to the national conven-
ton, two presidential electors and a
new chairman of the state central
committee, there was but one contest
in prospect. There was apparently a
unanimous sentiment in favor of the
endorsement of Secretary Taft for the
Republican presidential nomination
and the selection of the following
men as delegates at large, all of
whom have declared for Taft:
E. D. Stair, Detroit; John w. Blod-
gett, Grand Rapids; F. w. Gilchrist,
Alpena and James McNaughton of
Calumet.
The only contest in prospect was
for the state craftsmanship for which
George w. Cook of Flint, was a can
didate against Congressman ]. G.
Diekema of Holland, who has held
the position for several years.
Congressman E. L. Hamilton was
temporary chairman of the conven-
ton which met in the Majestic thea
